Casting
The role of Kristen DiMera was played by soap actress Eileen Davidson. Kristen was introduced on May 17, 1993. During Davidson's run on the soap, she also portrayed four other characters; Susan Banks (1996–98), Sister Mary Moira Banks (1997–98), Thomas Banks (1997) and Penelope Kent (1998). Davidson departed the role of Kristen on April 24, 1998. Davidson's five roles earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in 1998. After five years on Days, Davidson was re-introduced as Ashley Abbott in 1999 on The Young and the Restless, a role she originated from 1982-1988. She took over the role from Shari Shattuck who portrayed the character from 1996-1999. After Davidson's 2006 release from The Young and the Restless, rumors began to circulate that she would return to Days of Our Lives. This speculation was later debunked when it was announced that her Y&R alter-ego would crossover to its sister series The Bold and the Beautiful.
In May 2012, Davidson informed followers on her Twitter page that she had been let go from The Young and the Restless. Davidson further confirmed she did not know why she was let go, but was seeing the positive light from it. It was then announced by Nelson Branco that Sony Pictures Entertainment wanted Davidson on both The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives, but that Y&R would not share the actress, leading to Sony terminating her contract with the show, believing that DAYS needed the actress more than the prior series. Thus it was announced that Davidson would reprise her dual roles of Kristen Blake and Susan Banks on the NBC Daytime soap. The Hollywood Reporter later confirmed that Davidson had signed on to return to Days of Our Lives in the role of Kristen, and possibly some of her other Salem alter-egos down the line. In a statement she said, "I'm thrilled to embark on this new adventure at Days and excited to revisit Kristen and who knows who else! Not to mention my old friends in the cast and crew".
Davidson made her on-screen return on October 11, 2012. In an interview with Megan Masters of TVLine, Davidson discussed what brings her and her Salem alter-ego back to town. She revealed; "I've said in so many scenes, which I've loved, she's years of intense therapy; a lot of therapy. And she wants to come back now and show the world how she's changed. And how she's grown. And there's also, ah, some business matters in Salem that she needs to attend to".
In July 2013, Soap Opera Digest reported that Davidson had decided to exit the series. In a post on her official Facebook page, Davidson said; "Hello! I just wanted to confirm that I have indeed left DOOL. My last day was July 16 but I will be airing until November. I'm taking some time off to enjoy my family however I am not retiring. Not really sure what's next for me work wise. But I am looking forward to figuring it out! Thanks to all of you for your support and love. I've had an incredible time on DOOL this year". Davidson exited the role on-screen on November 13, 2013. In late November, it was confirmed that Davidson would return for an episode scheduled to air on December 3, 2013.
On January 28, 2014, Michael Logan of TV Guide announced that Davidson would return to Days with filming beginning in March, with an on-screen return sometime during the summer.
In June 2014, Davidson announced she signed a two-year contract with The Young and the Restless, but that her contract would allow her to continue making appearances as Kristen. Davidson made her on-screen return on July 28, 2014 and concluded her twelve-week stint on November 6, 2014. On November 17, 2014, Access Hollywood broke news that Davidson was on-set of the soap, and reprised the role of Kristen for ten episodes starting from April 14 to 30, 2015.
On June 27, 2018 it was announced that Stacy Haiduk has joined as Kristen DiMera replacing Eileen Davidson, she will first appear sometime around December.
On May 6, 2020, it was announced that Stacy Haiduk is leaving Days, last appearing June 30, 2020.

Kristen DiMera is back!
In August 2018, Kristen showed up in Salem and kidnapped Susan, who was also in Salem. She locked Susan in the freezer at Doug’s Place, and assumed her identity. As John and Marlena’s wedding got underway, “Susan” requested everyone put their phones in a basket. Sami showed up unexpectedly, looking for Kristen, who had drugged her and held her captive. Sami discovered “Susan” sitting in the audience and exposed her to everyone. Kristen announced her return and held a gun on everyone. She tossed the gun to Sami and then told her to shoot John if she wanted to know where EJ was. Kristen told Sami that EJ was alive and she would take Sami to see EJ as despite her best efforts, he was still deeply in love with Sami. Sami refused to believe it, but Kristen said that Stefano has her come to Salem and inject something into EJ to keep him alive. Eric tried to grab the gun from Sami and it went off, hitting Marlena. Kristen took Claire Brady hostage to escape, but ditched Claire after she hurt her ankle.
Kristen captured Eve and demanded Brady meet her at a room in the Salem Inn. Brash showed up, and Kristen told Brady she wanted him back. Brady refused, and Kristen explained how she was in critical condition after her her fall. She was taken in by some nuns and resolved to turn her life around until Stefano appeared to her. Kristen admitted she wasn’t sure if it was Stefano, but she was reminded what it meant to be a DiMera. Kristen locked Brady in a passionate kiss, and they fell onto the bed. Brady pinned Kristen down and demanded to know where Eve was, reiterating that he didn’t want her. Kristen lost it, and pointed a gun at Brad. Paul, Sami, and Eve burst into the room. Sami demanded answers about EJ, so Kristen held Sami at gunpoint. Paul grabbed the gun and wrestled with Kristen, causing them both to fall out of the window.
Kristen asks Stefan for help
Kristen made her way to the DiMera mansion and asked it’s current resident, another of Stefano’s long lost sons, Stefan DiMera, for help. Stefan was hesitant to help Kristen since he was expecting a child with Abigail Deveraux, who was Chad’s wife. Stefan hid Kristen in the tunnels where he brought her food. After a week, Stefan told Kristen she had to leave the house. Kristen tries to persuade Stefan to let her stay, and talks about their family’s legacy of rising from the ashes, revealing she had a Phoenix tattooed on her back, after surviving her best fatal fall. Stefan wondered if that meant EJ was alive. Kristen refused to tell Stefan whether or not EJ was alive. Stefan offered to let her stay longer if she told him about EJ, so Kristen agreed.
Eventually, Kristen convinced Brady to leave town with her. Brady went with Kristen, but it was only so he could find out information about EJ. Kristen has revived EJ and was keeping him at a warehouse with her associate, Xander Kiriakis. Kristen wanted EJ to forget about Sami and help her continue Stefano’s legacy, but EJ was too in love with Sami to forget about her. Eventually; Brady, Sami, Nicole, and Eric all found the warehouse and a fire broke out when EJ attacked Dr. Wilhelm Rolf. Kristen had Xander move the other subjects, and refused to leave until they were all safe, claiming that she wasn’t afraid since she was a DiMera.
Kristen returned to Salem in June 2019, posing as Nicole Walker by wearing a mask and removing her Phoenix tattoo. Her goal was to get Brady to fall in love with her as Nicole before revealing her true identity. Kristen also arranged the fake of Holly Jonas with the aid of Ted Laurent, whom she had Xander blackmail.
Xander had previously defied Kristen by giving Eve Donovan one of the revived subjects: An amnesiac Jack Deveraux. Xander and Kristen both had their own goals as Kristen knew Xander had developed a thing for Sarah Horton. They also planned to take control over their families companies and work together to take control of Salem.
Shortly after Xander left, Kristen accidentally opened the door to Maggie Horton, who was inebriated, so Kristen quickly put on her Nicole mask and tried to convinces Maggie that she was mistaken in seeing Kristen.
As Nicole, Kristen continued to push Eric away, going so far as to say that he attacked her. Kristen lamented how she had to take control away from Stefan by herself since her plan to use EJ failed. Xander asked about the others and said that she insisted that she look after “A.D.” and “S.D.” by herself. Xander notes that “S.D.” could stand for “Stefano DiMera” and “A.D.” could stand for “Andre DiMera” or “Antony DiMera”.
Kristen as Nicole got Stefan to hire her on at DiMera, but when she failed to take control, she went to the mysterious A.D., who so revealed to be a very much alive Tony. Kristen liked Anthony better than Tony. She tried to talk Tony into marrying her, so she could become CEO. Tony refused, as he wanted to get back to Anna. Kristen threatened Tony and he agreed. Despite the marriage, Gabi Hernandez, Stefan’s wife, was still named CEO.
Kristen was found out by Ted, who attempted to shoot her. Tony intervened and Ted was shit and killed during the struggle. Kristen moved Ted’s body into an empty room where Stefan later discovered it. Kristen threatened to have Tony arrested for murder as a way of forcing him to go along with her plans. Kristen ended up cuckolding Tony as his legal wife when her ruse worked and Brady fell back in love with “Nicole”.
Anna returned to Salem and couldn’t understand why Tony would marry “Nicole”. Kristen told Tony he was free to still sleep with Anna, but Tony said Anna would never go along with that. Xander and Kristen’s alliance fell apart due to his growing feelings for Sarah and deciding to be a married man.
John eventually exposed Kristen after connecting the dots, especially once Sarah discovered that Rolf was able to create synthetic masks. Kristen was arrested, but dragged Tony down with her for Ted’s murder. At the station, Kristen bargained for her freedom with the revelation that the real Nicole was alive Holly was with her. Kristen turned out to be telling the truth and was released from custody.
Kristen learned Sarah was pregnant and plotted with Xander and Rolf to take the baby from her womb and put it in hers. Sarah was planning to abort the bay anyways, so Kristen used that as her justification. However, Rolf revealed to Kristen that she was already pregnant and the fertility treatments had allowed her to conceive. Kristen shared the news with Brady and a DNA test confirmed that the baby was his.
After the time jump, it is revealed that Kristen has given birth to a daughter named Rachel Black, who is currently presumed dead and has been switched at birth by Xander under orders from Victor Kiriakis and is currently being raised as Mackenzie Horton. Its also revealed that Kristen is somehow responsible for the death of Haley Chen.
As of November 2020; Kristen resides in a convent with Lani Price and both were training to become nuns. Kristen felt responsible for Haley's death and Lani left because Gabi forced her to, which angered Kristen. On the day they were supposed to take their final vows, they were found by Eli and JJ. JJ held a gun to Kristen's head, who apologized for what she had done and promised she wanted to be a better person, which is why she has given her life to God. She told JJ she won't fight him and if this is God's plan for her, then so be it.
Lani and Eli found JJ and Kristen and tried to talk him down. When Eli mentioned he was air Gabi, Kristen regained some of her fight, and called Eli an idiot. Lani begged Kristen not to say anything. Kristen firmly advised JJ not to live his life in anger, but if he wanted to kill her, she would accept her death. As the bells tolled, Kristen told JJ she and Lani have vows to take, so he'd have to shoot her in the back. Kristen and Lani returned to the church where Kristen decided not to take her vows and she and Lani decided to return to Salem and take back what is there's.
On April 2020, after Brady and Kristen discovered that their daughter Rachel is alive, she was kidnapped by Sarah and aboard the Kiriakis plane and headed to Paris. Later, on May 2020, Kristen threatened Xander and sought revenge on Victor by stabbing him after she learns that Victor was the mastermind of the baby switch, Brady took the blame and went to jail. Kristen later tells Lani the truth about Victor's stabbing. Then after receiving a phone call from Rex Brady and with the help of her nephew and Lani's brother Theo Carver, she learns that Rachel and Sarah are in Paris by tracking Rex's phone. After finding Sarah and Rachel at the train station, she confronts Sarah over taking Rachel, then after her heartbreaking plea, she convinces Sarah to give her baby back, she is then reunited with Rachel after Sarah hands her over.

Then, Brady tells her to take Rachel and go on the run, she leaves the train station with Rachel after a heartfelt goodbye with Brady, who plans to get revenge on Victor and Xander robbing him his life with Kristen and Rachel by bringing down Titan Industries.Notable Posessions
