Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – Who Is Alexander Kiriakis?
Just who is Alexander Kiriakis, and why would DOOL bring him to Salem after Ben and Ciara Brady Weston (Victoria Konefal) leave town with Baby Bo Weston (Cody and Warren Krasnow)? Ben and Ciara are set to go on an indefinite trip where they’ll meet up with Hope and Bo Brady (Kristian Alfonso, Peter Reckell) possibly via time travel to Beyond Salem. There is no arrival date posted for Alexander although it will likely be a few months-but the question remains, who is he?
Alexander Kiriakis is a different character than Alexandros Kiriakis aka Xander Kiriakis aka Xander Cook (Paul Telfer). Alexander is the oldest son of Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) from his affair with the late Anjelica Deveraux (most recently Judith Chapman).
DOOL Spoilers – Alexander Kiriakis Was Conceived During A Rough Patch
Longtime viewers will remember that Alexander was conceived during a rough patch in Justin and Adrienne Kiriakis’ (Judi Evans) marriage. He was originally thought to be Anjelica’s husband’s, Harper Deveraux (Joseph Campanella) but he had become sterile. He would have been a baby brother by adoption to Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) had Harper been Alexander’s birth father. Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston) found out and wanted to marry her but she refused. She then married Neil Curtis (Joseph Gallison) who planned to adopt him, making him Sarah Horton’s (Linsey Godfrey) brother but the adoption didn’t go through because Anjelica wanted Justin.
Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – Justin And Adrienne Kiriakis Eventually Reconciled
Anjelica fled Salem with baby Alexander, after still scheming to become a Kiriakis – when Justin reconciled with Adrienne, Anjelica made plans to marry Victor! Justin wouldn’t have let Victor raise his son because of his ruthlessness and Anjelica tried to kill Adrienne but failed. Years later Alexander was reunited with Justin when Johnny Corelli (Antony Alda) found him and Anjelica and he brought Alexander to Justin and Adrienne.
They then moved to Texas, along with two adopted twins Joseph and Victor Kiriakis ll (Benjamin Iorio, Jacob Iorio). Not long after that, Jackson “Sonny” Kiriakis (Zach Tinker) was born; they attended Salem High School off-screen for a time in 2007 and then the entire family moved again to Dubai!
DOOL Spoilers – Alexander Kiriakis Will Move Back To Salem
It is planned that Alexander will move back to Salem although nothing has been mentioned about the twins. Sonny and Alexander are half-brothers with Sonny likely not remembering him very well since he was a small child the last time they were together. Many newer Days of Our Lives viewers never knew that Justin had other children, the adopted twins and Alexander not having been mentioned for years! Whether Alexander will work for Titan Industries or perhaps join his father’s law practice has not been spoiled at this time, but he can be expected in a few months!

I think it is crazy to recast a character that is currently involved as a major player in storylines as a new character so soon. I think it is confusing! Ben is a popular character & to place him as another character, why? Is Ben & Ciara leaving Salem for good? I think that Robert Scott Wilson can fill any role! I hate the loss of his current character. It makes me wonder what the significance is to bring this character to town & if there are any new partnerships in the works??
I remember all about Sonny's brothers, been wondering for years why he was the only one written about. Will be interesting!!!
Any way to keep him on the show is fine by me!
