Stefano also had many biological sons such as Benjy Hawk, EJ DiMera, and Chad DiMera.
He also fathered twin sons, Stefan and Jake, although he died before getting to meet them.
While Stefano is no longer living, Kristen continues to carry on his devious legacy.
The character was introduced to Salem as the ward of Stefano DiMera.
However, she appeared to be nothing like her benefactor.
She seemed to be a kind and sweet woman, and she was employed as a social worker.
While Stefano believed he was dying of a brain tumor, he made one deathbed request of Kristen.
He asked her to marry her adoptive brother, Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis).
Kristen agreed to marry Tony and intended to keep her promise to Stefano.
Kristen married Tony, but she still pined for John.
Finally, after ending the marriage, Kristen was ready to run back into John’s arms.
However, Kristen lost the baby and was too afraid to tell John the truth.
So, Stefano brought Susan Banks (also Eileen Davidson) to live at the mansion.
Susan was pregnant at the time and looked very much like Kristen.
However, after the baby was born, Susan went rogue.
She locked Kristen in the secret room with Marlena and took over her life, perSoap Hub.
John eventually found out the truth about Susan and Kristen’s schemes and dumped Kristen.
He and Marlena reconnected and Kristen was left out in the cold.
However, she returned years later, much to the delight of “Days of Our Lives” fans.
The two hit it off and sparks began to fly.
However, Brady ended up in the hospital due to the attack.
Kristen wanted to get revenge on Marlena for ruining her wedding to Brady.
She drugged Marlena’s son, Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan), and raped him, perSoaps.
She filmed the encounter and edited the video to make it appear like Eric consented.
However, shortly after that, Brady revealed he wanted to give Kristen a second chance.
They eventually got engaged again.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
She even resorted to kidnapping in hopes of luring Brady to her.
However, her plans were thwarted.
When Brady began dating Theresa Donovan (Jen Lilley), Kristen was unhappy.
Brady and Theresa had gotten serious, but after they split, Theresa learned that she was pregnant.
Kristen then left Salem (viaSoaps in Depth).
Eventually, Theresa started to remember, and she and Brady tracked down Kristen.
During the fight for the baby, Kristen got into a physical altercation with Marlena and the two struggled.
Kristen fell out of a window and was presumed dead, perSoap Central.
However, that wasn’t the case.
Since that time, Kristen has been causing plenty of problems in Salem.
That encounter resulted in a pregnancy, and the couple welcomed a daughter, Rachel.
She held Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) hostage for months.
Kristen also drugged Sarah to make her believe she was Stefano’s long-dead daughter, Renee DuMonde.
There seems to be no end to what Kristen will do to get what she wants.
