DiMera family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DiMeras are an upper-class Italian Catholic family on the soap opera Days of our Lives. Over the years, the nature of the family itself has been retconned several times; although never directly and overtly, it's been represented as old-line Italian nobility, a relatively self-made European business dynasty, and a stereotypical Mafia family.
Over the years it's been revealed that the DiMera family shares a long history with both the Bradford and the Brady families of the fictional midwestern American city of Salem. Currently (as of 2007), the show has been exploring the DiMeras' connection to the Brady clan, dating back at least 50 years in the Bradys' ancestral home of Galway, Ireland, and the roots of a feud between the two families. This is actually a retcon, as the tension between the two families was originally the result of detective brothers Roman and Bo Brady and their constant attempts to thwart the various (and often outlandish) schemes of DiMera family patriarch (and crime boss) Stefano DiMera.
