Days of Our Lives: A glimpse at Rex Brady
Rex Brady, now played by Kyle Lowder, first appeared on Days of Our Lives in July 2002. At the time, Rex and his sister, Cassie, were found half-naked amid a meteor shower. This led many to believe they were aliens. However, it was later revealed that they were actually human, and their origins were far more complicated.
At first, Rex and Cassie were thought to be the children of Andre DiMera and Marlena Evans, but later that turned out to be untrue.
In reality, Rex and Cassie were created through a scientific procedure. While Roman Brady was being held captive by Stefano DiMera, Stefano took a sperm sample from him and combined it with eggs harvested from Kate Roberts, a former associate of Stefano.
Eventually, it was revealed that Rex was fully human, with deep family ties to some of Salem’s most influential families. Over the years, he built a reputation as a brilliant scientist, often leading groundbreaking medical research. However, while his career thrived, Rex’s personal life was filled with turmoil and heartbreak.
