However, they’ve also offered up some great friendships as well.
Steve and Bo had initially met while they were serving in the Merchant Marines.
Together with a woman named Britta, they became best friends.

The trio were very close and even got matching knife tattoos to solidify their bond.
However, when Bo and Steve both fell in love with Britta, a bitter battle ensued between them.
Things may have been tense between the former friends, but they soon found themselves bonded together for life.

Steve came to Salem at the request of Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston).
He was hired to help Victor in his illegal activities.
However, when Steve Johnson was presumed dead, it appeared that he wouldn’t be coming back.

That is, until 16 years after his alleged death.
He returned to Salem to shock everyone, his wife Kayla Brady most of all (viaSoaps).
Of course, everyone was happy to see Steve, including his best friend, Bo.
However, Steve was dealing with amnesia that prevented him from remembering his friends and family.
Steve eventually regained his memories and resumed his life in Salem.
Since his death, he’s been seen as a spirit in heaven multiple times.
Steve was overjoyed to see Bo and have Tripp back with him.
