I do hope that is not the route they take. Steve has certainly done a lot for Kayla to overlook, forgive, etc. so I would hate if they went that way. The actor filmed last end of March, so we should be seeing Steve into September. I would rather they send him off like they did Theo, to some distant rehab, or some facility, hospital or something. Even to go look for someone......though I would prefer they put a fire under the headwriter, and just think up a good story for Steve.
I do understand actors who hate the idea that all they do for 6 mos is more or less, twiddle their thumbs. Which is what happens often. Steve/Kayla, Victor/Maggie, Hope, Abe, Chloe, Lucas, Jen, Rafe, Eric......quite the list. Even JJ of late. They feature others ad nauseam, you shake your head. Brady, Eve. Kate, Theresa, Chad, Kate, Sonny, Abby, Kate, Stefan, ...you get what I mean....
