Hope Brady is one of the most popular characters to ever appear on “Days of Our Lives.”
The character, played by Kristian Alfonso until 2020, has seemingly been through it all.
Bo and Hope navigated their lives with their family, which was full of drama.
However, things weren’t always sunny in Doug and Addie’s relationship.
Addie was the oldest daughter of Tom and Alice Horton.
In 1949, she married her first husband Ben Olson.
The couple had two children together, a son named Steven and a daughter named Julie.
Of course, Addie was there to pick up the pieces.
However, Doug and Addie didn’t get a happy ending.
During her pregnancy, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Addie refused to get any treatment out of fear of harming her unborn child.
However, her happy times as a wife and mother didn’t last long.
Doug was heartbroken and began to raise Hope as a single father (viaSoaps in Depth).
Their love story is one of the most interesting and long-lasting on “Days of Our Lives.”
Sadly, Hope never got the chance to really know her mother, Addie.
However, she is very close with Julie, who is both her half-sister and her stepmother.
