Lawrence Alamain
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.

Lawrence was born to Leopold and Philomena Alamain, and is the adoptive brother of John Black. Lawrence, the scion of the powerful European family, the Alamains, was introduced as the man Katerina von Leuschner (known to Salemites as Carly Manning) was supposed to be wed in an arranged marriage. Carly's best friend, Jennifer Horton, masqueraded as Carly to invalidate the marriage in 1990 – believing Lawrence had no idea who Carly was. Though Lawrence went through with the wedding, it was revealed he knew all along Jennifer wasn't Katerina, as he (masquerading as a man named James) had an affair with Katerina (masquerading as Carly) when they were teenagers, conceiving a child, Nicholas Alamain, who was raised by Lawrence's aunt Vivian Alamain.

Most of Lawrence's time on the show was marked by his triangle with Carly and her boyfriend, the heroic Bo Brady. Though Bo was a far better man than the often dastardly Lawrence, Carly eventually couldn't deny her love for him and the two were married and left town in 1993 with their son, Nicholas. They were not seen again until 2009, when Carly killed Lawrence in self-defense, for threatening the life of Melanie Jonas, a child she'd conceived in an affair with a colleague, Daniel Jonas. Though he died in 2009, Lawrence has appeared numerous times since then as a ghost to both Carly and his aunt Vivian.

Joey Kiriakis
Joey Kiriakis was introduced in September 1990 and was portrayed by child actors Candace Mead and Benjamin Iorio until the character left the series in 1991. Joey is the biological twin son of Kiriakis family nanny, J.J.

After Anjelica and Alexander supposedly died in a plane crash, J.J. left town, but returned a few months later, pregnant, and about ready to give birth. She knew she couldn't give the baby a good home, so she asked Justin and Adrienne to give her baby a home. Delighted and unable to conceive, Justin and Adrienne agreed, and were thrilled when they learned the child was really twins. Just when it seem like Justin and Adrienne's family was complete, J.J.'s married lover, Stanley, showed up, and refused to sign papers giving up rights to his children. J.J. would soon second thoughts, but after Justin and Adrienne let her spend a month living with them and the twins, she was able to convince Stanley that their twins would have a wonderful life with the Kiriakises. J.J. and Stanley would later leave town after letting the twins be adopted by Justin and Adrienne. Shortly after, Joey left with the rest of his family to Texas, where their brother Sonny Kiriakis (Freddie Smith) was born.

She and Lawrence began a relationship, but Lawrence still had feelings for Carly Manning. Lisanne learned that Vivian and Carly were keeping a secret involving a past pregnancy, so told Lawrence, and it eventually emerged that Carly had been pregnant with Lawrence's child, who it was believed had died. However, when Vivian Alamain brought her adopted son, Nicky, to the United States later that year, a different story was to emerge. After some investigation into Nicky's background, Lisanne discovered that he was, in fact Lawrence and Carly's son, who Vivian had actually stolen. Lisanne began to blackmail Vivian with this information, but her plans led to her demise. Nicky returned home one day to find his aunt and Lisanne engaged in a heated argument. He saw Vivian falling to the floor, and believing that Lisanne was hurting his aunt, he tried to separate the two. In the process, Lisanne fell and struck her head on a stone cat. The fall proved fatal for Lisanne, but Vivian told Nicky that she was just unconscious. Vivian and Lawrence's servant, Ivan Marais, then concealed Lisanne's body in the basement, later making it look as though she had been killed in a car crash. Lisanne's death led Lawrence to realise that Nicky was his son, something which caused Vivian to suffer a heart attack. While recovering in hospital, she revealed the truth to Lawrence - she told Carly that Nicky had died, then raised him as her own, even buying her servant's son's birth certificate to cover up the truth. Lawrence subsequently told Carly, who confronted Vivian, threatening to take Nicky away from her. Vivian then tried to leave Salem with Nicky, but was stopped from doing so. Kidnapping charges were brought against Vivian, but later dropped; while she desperately tried to hide the truth from Nicky. However, he ultimately learned his real identity. Meanwhile, suspecting that Lisanne's death may have been the result of foul play, Bo Brady began investigating the Alamains. Vivian told Lawrence to dispose of the stone cat and the rug on which Lisanne had fallen, as both had traces of her blood. Lawrence buried the items in the woods, but was seen by a prostitute, who reported it to the police. Soon after, Bo caught Lawrence trying to dig up the stone cat and arrested him.

Jan had since remained in a coma and was last mentioned by Nicole while on a dinner date with Phillip Kiriakis in April 2008.

In 2020, Sami reveals to Eric and Nicole that Jan woke up from her coma and was receiving treatment at a mental facility in New York; she recruited Jan to testify against Nicole at the custody hearing for Allie's baby, regarding the attempt that Jan made on Victor's life, per Nicole's request years ago. She soon uses Shawn and Belle's daughter, Claire, to get close to the family. She later kidnaps Belle on her wedding day in order to force Shawn into marrying her instead. John Black attacks her and is put back in a coma, but it did not last long. She awoke and killed Claire's boyfriend, Charlie Dale, in order to frame Belle. However, the scheme begins to unravel and she kidnaps Claire and steals a car with Chloe Lane inside to ensure Belle admits her guilt. After leaving Claire at a cabin she attempts to get Phillip to assist in her escape. However, an altercation with Chloe and Phillip leads her to hit her head and end up in a coma again.

On Christmas Eve, the devil possessed Marlena wakes Jan from her coma and tasks her to cause trouble for Shawn and Belle. She is glamoured to look like Belle and has sex with Shawn. Belle comes home and finds them together. Once the ruse is revealed, Jan is arrested and taken to Statesville Prison.

In April, Jan asks Belle to come to Statesville Prison to receive some news. Jan reveals to Belle that she is pregnant, and that the baby belongs to Shawn. This revelation divides Belle and Shawn, as Shawn neglected to mention that he and Jan had actually slept together when she was disguised as Belle.

A paternity test confirmed that the baby belongs to Shawn. Due to complications with the pregnancy requiring bed rest, Jan convinces Shawn and the warden of Statesville to let her out on house arrest, as long as she stays with Shawn until the baby is born prematurely. She names the boy Shawn Christian. It is later revealed that Evan Frears is the real father and that Orpheus had helped Jan faked the paternity test in exchange for helping him get the password in the police mainframe and find a way out of prison. When Evan learns the truth out the baby, he demands Jan let him see him. She escapes the hospital with the baby and Shawn finds them at the pier, intending to take the two far away from Salem. Belle followed and during a confrontation, Jan is knocked into the water and believed to be dead. She is revealed to be alive and takes her son from Evan after he secured him away from Shawn and Belle. Knocking Evan into the river, Jan happily takes Shawn Christian vowing to get Shawn back once more.
