No matter if it’s a business deal or not, you still defend family. So why was there a need for StephAlex to stop Yuri in bad-mouthing Maggie. Yes, Stephanie may not be a Kiriakis, but in a way she is, she may not have the name “Kiriakis”, but her late Aunt Adrienne married into the family, she wouldn’t she be a niece of the Kiriakis family, no matter if she doesn’t have the name or the blood of the said family & yet she doesn’t reprimand Yuri for bad-mouthing Maggie?, much less Alex for that matter.
