BAHL's Babes: Kristian Alfonso

Although almost a dozen BAHL's Babes have been presented, at or near the top of the list for decades has been Kristian Alfonso. Alfonso, who is best know for her portrayal of Hope Williams Brady on NBC's Days of Our Lives, is simply stunning and has always been anchored near the top spot on the list of BAHL's Babes.

Alfonso started on Days as a teenager, and has stayed with role for almost 30 years. Early on, Kristian was accomplished figure skater, winning a gold medal at the Junior Olympics, in her early years, but got the acting bug and began her career on Days in 1981. Soap Opera Digest has on three occasions named her one of the most beautiful women on television, and I would concur with that.

I had occasion to meet Kristian, along with her Days co-star Peter Reckell (Bo Brady), at a mall opening in 2002 and she was as friendly and gorgeous as advertised.


Outside of television, Kristian employed her entrepreneurial spirit and founded a jewelry company called Hope, Faith and Miracles, which offers a complete line of jewelry and accessories. Many of the pieces offered are many of the pieces Kristian wears on Days of our Lives, and that is great advertising as many of her customers are Days fans. The line has been met with great success with a wide assortment of neat and unique items.

Ever since I was a teenager, I have admired the beauty and talent of Kristian Alfonso and the BAHL's Babe list could not be complete without her. Although I don't get a chance to follow DOOL much anymore, I do try to catch her from time to time, which I did recently as she was featured on a float for the 2011 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. 

She has without question always been my favorite.
