Daphne DiMera is a fictional character on the NBC soap opera Days of our Lives. She was played by Madlyn Rhue from 1982 to 1984.

[edit] Fictional character history

Daphne was the common law wife of Stefano DiMera, who fled from him while pregnant with her oldest son, Antony. She raised Tony in Australia, where she also became pregnant with another child. She gave her second son up to be raised by her sister Philomena and her husband Leopold Alamain. They named the child Forrest, but he would become better known as John Black.

When Daphne learned that Tony was in love with Renée, whom he believed to be his half-sister, she told him that he was not Stefano's son after all, but belonged to a man named Enrico. This led to a brief romantic reunion between Tony and Renée, but Renée was soon murdered. Years later it would be discovered that Tony was actually Stefano's biological son (it was never revealed if Daphne believed he was Enrico's or if she lied).

Daphne died in 1984 when a plane carrying a number of Salemites crashed in Haiti.

Daphne's real surname is unknown. She was always referred to as a DiMera, because her marriage was a common law marriage to Stefano.
