But it was her on-screen chemistry with Reckell, and her long tenure on the show, that made Kristian Alfonso a fan favorite\u2014then and now.<\/p>\n Related: Kristian Alfonso Shares Heartwarming Behind-the-Scenes Reunion From \u2018Days of Our Lives\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 24, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
