Kristian Alfonso

Kristian and her real life mother, Joanne Alfonso. Kristian grewup in Boston, where her family still lives.

John was once involved with Gina VonAmberg. When Hope started having flashbacks, so did John. They first thought it was a good thing until John realized that his involvment with Gina could come between him and Marlena. John refused to remember the past and Hope couldn't go on living with out knowing the truth. We all might find out the truth during the year 2000.

Is it Hope? or Is it Gina? is the question of 2000. It turned out that Gina VonAmberg was really alive and she was out for revenge against Bo and Hope. She unfortunately fell in love with Bo because of the love he carried for Hope. Kristian is one of only a few actors or actresses who has portrayed more than one character at a time on the same soap.

Hope gave birth to her second son on June 9, 2000. In a short 3 month period she has worked with 2 sets of actors and 1 set of actresses in the role of John Thomas Brady. Pictured here is either Lauren or Alyssa Libby. They played Hope's baby at his birth. When the baby switch occurred, they switched to playing Isaac Theo Carver.

Kristian is pictured to the left with Joshua Rips in 2000 {pictured to the left with Jacob Rips in 2002}. They were second in the role of John Thomas. Pictured below is Brenden and Dillon Fisher. They took over the role from the Rips for storyline purposes. They needed a smaller baby in the role of John Thomas in order to make him seem more sickly, so they hired babies that were younger. Jacob and Joshua Rips returned to the role of JT in 2001.

John Thomas {Brenden and Dillon Fisher} is very sick. He suffers from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Since this is actually the baby that Lexie and Abe were to adopt, he is not the biological son of Bo or Hope. The baby that Lexie and Abe are raising, thanks to Stefano, is Hope's biological son. Hope loves the baby either way. She has no idea she has the wrong baby.
