[edit] Character history
Lexie is the wife of Salem police chief Abe Carver. She is the daughter of international criminal, Stefano DiMera, and Celeste Perrault, however she was raised to believe that her aunt Grace and Grace's husband were her biological parents.
She was once a police officer but was kicked off the force for aiding her vigilante brother-in-law Jonah Carver. Later she went through medical school (very quickly even by soap standards) and became a doctor.
Lexie has a history of cheating on her husband. She once had a flirtation with Abe's brother Jonah, but they stopped short of an affair. Lexie later slept with Abe's illegitimate son Brandon Walker before she knew of his connection to her husband. Years later, Lexie had an affair with Tek Kramer, who she had once dated after her husband was presumed dead.
Lexie, while not a villain, has a history of unethical behavior. She has a history of sticking up for her father's family, the DiMeras. Her father Stefano and her cousin André have each helped her with her problems (often using illegal means). Fearing Lexie could not bear children, Stefano arranged for her to raise Isaac (Zack), the son of Bo Brady and Hope Brady, as her biological son after a surrogate's baby was switched with Zack in the hospital. Lexie did not know this at the time, but later chose to keep quiet about it once she found out, despite Hope being her best friend.
Lexie has a history of antagonism with Sami Brady. They both were involved with Brandon Walker. Sami has blackmailed Lexie on a number of occasions due to Lexie's repeated adultery. Most recently, Sami had Lexie lie to Carrie, regarding her chances of having healthy children. Breaking her Hippocratic oath, Lexie was fired from Salem University Hospital. However, with Hope's help, Lexie became Kayla Johnson's part-time private nurse and 'personal medical advisor'.
Lexie was once kidnapped by the DiMeras because she claimed she had witnessed E.J Wells shooting John Black. Tek Kramer was the real witness of the crime, but they covered it up because Lexie did not want her husband to find out that she was with Tek again. Shortly afterwards, Lexie and Tek were ran off the road. No bodies were recovered. Lexie was later discovered in the underground tunnels of Salem during a Bo and Hope investigation into the long running Brady-DiMera feud.
Upon her return, Lexie reunited with her husband and was reinstated by the Salem University Hospital board eventually becoming Chief of Staff. Her new position kept her very busy which caused marital problems.
