Stefano DiMera(Joseph Mascolo) is one of the most iconic soap opera characters of all time.
Stefano first appeared on “Days of Our Lives” in 1982.
He traveled to Salem from Europe to reconnect with his son Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis).
Stefano had his favorite targets through the decades.
Stefano also heavily targeted the Brady family.
Stefano sought revenge on the family by kidnapping Roman Brady’s twins, Sami and Eric.
Thankfully, her husband, Bo Brady, was revealed to be the father.
However, when their son was born, Stefano swapped him with the child of a woman named Marlo.
She divorced Bo and moved on with Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove).
Hope was stunned to see her estranged husband and hear his story.
Bo lost his life due to his captivity, and Hope blamed Stefano for his death.
It was later revealed that Stefano was dying from cancer and had wanted her to pull the trigger.
Hope eventually went to prison for the murder before the ISA figured out a way to clear her name.
