KRISTIAN ALFONSO'S BIO (Hope Brady, Days of Our Lives) kristianonline.com

Kristian Joy Alfonso was born September 5 in Brockton, Massachusetts -- a Boston suburb. Striking, even as a baby, strangers often stared. As a girl she developed a passion for ice skating and dance. At 13, she won a gold medal in figure skating at the Junior Olympics. She was on her way to the upcoming Olympic games until a tobogganing accident cut the dream short; she suffered a severe multiple fracture in her landing leg.

Luckily before the accident young Kristian had been approached by the Wilhelmina modeling agency. She soon signed a contract and was on the covers of Vogue and Bazaar, and she was just 15! At 16, she starred opposite Rock Hudson in The Starmaker. She was asked at this point to audition for the role of Hope Williams on Days of Our Lives. Kristian wasn't prepared to leave home yet -- and was terrified of California earthquakes -- so she turned down the offer. In 1983, she was offered the role again and this time she didn't hesitate. While at the audition, she tripped and fell down the staircase at Horton House. Kristian was afraid she had blown it. But she should've realized that the role was made for her. She won the role and became an immediate fan favorite.

In 1987, after four years Kristian decided to take a break from Days and turned up on Falcon Crest, Full House and Who's The Boss?, among others. In 1990, Days producers asked her back for 13 weeks; she agreed. She left in October 1990 to give birth to son Gino. During this time she appeared most notably on Melrose Place. But in 1994, returned to Days to play three characters at once! Kristian has remained there ever since.

On October 6, 2001, Kristian married Danny Daggenhurt, with which she shares three children, Gino, Spartan and Jack.
