List of Days of Our Lives characters introduced in the 1990s

A list of notable characters from the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives that significantly impacted storylines and debuted between 1990 and 1999.

Stephanie Johnson was created by head writer Richard J. Allen, and was originated by actresses Amanda and Jessica Gunnarson. Shayna Rose briefly stepped into the role in 2006–07. The role was taken over by Shelley Hennig in 2007. Henning was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for her role as Stephanie, in the category of Outstanding Younger Actress in a Daytime Drama. Her last airdate as Stephanie was on April 6, 2011. In December 2016, it was revealed that Hennig will return for her parents' wedding in February 2017. On May 2, 2022, it was announced by Soap Opera Network that Abigail Klein had been cast as Stephanie for Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem, and would later join Days of Our Lives as a series regular.

Stephanie is the daughter of supercouple, Steve Johnson and Kayla Brady. She is the ex-fiancée of Philip Kiriakis, and Nathan Horton. Stephanie is introduced in 1990 while Kayla is serving jail time. She and Kayla depart the series in 1992, with a teenage Stephanie, played by Shayna Rose, returning without her mother in 2006. Shayna Rose departed the series in 2007. A new looking Stephanie, played by Shelley Hennig arrives in Salem in 2007 with parents Steve Johnson, and Kayla Brady. Hennig has portrayed the role from 2007 to 2011, even being nominated in 2010 for a Daytime Emmy in Outstanding Younger Actress. Despite only airing into April 2011, Hennig managed to receive another Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in 2012.

Lawrence Alamain is a fictional character on NBC's daytime drama, Days of Our Lives, and was portrayed by Michael Sabatino from September 11, 1990, to October 18, 1993, and several guest appearances from October 2, 2009, to February 26, 2010, November 4, 2010, and May 13, 2011, to August 3, 2011.

Not much is known about Lawrence's parents Leopold and Philomena, aside from the fact that they were part of an old and powerful European dynasty, part of the nobility of a fictional European country never really named onscreen but alternately referred to in the soap opera media as "Alamania" (which is incidentally very similar to an old Latin word for "Germany") and "Ubilam" ("Malibu", where outdoor scenes were filmed, spelled backwards).  The few times the country was shown onscreen, it bore a striking resemblance to southern California.

The Alamains were also very active in business circles, and when Lawrence first appeared on the show, he was the head of a powerful international oil conglomerate.  He later demonstrated an uncanny ability to retrieve highly secretive and classified information, such as the cure to biological warfare being used against Allied intelligence agents throughout the world, and the existence of business magnate Victor Kiriakis's "John Black file" which also contained information about the government's (and supervillain Stefano DiMera's) search for some stolen ancient Mayan codices of purportedly high cultural, scientific, and technological value.

Lawrence's mother Philomena was later retconned to be the sister of Stefano's common-law wife, Daphne.

By the time the family was brought onto the show, Philomena had already died, and Leopold (portrayed by longtime character actor Avery Schreiber) was presented as a likeable, fun-loving eccentric, a far cry from his diabolical son Lawrence, before he was killed in an earthquake generated by one of Lawrence's more outlandish plots.  It was later revealed that Lawrence was once as kind-hearted as his father, but when his younger adopted brother Forrest was removed from the family canvas via a staged "drowning" event, his family medicated him to the point where he was unable to feel any guilt or remorse about any of his actions.
