The Step Children

Donna
Donna Temple Craig
Daughter of Don Craig and Lorraine Temple. Don never knew that he fathered this girl until she came to town in 1978. Her presence caused problems for Marlena and Don who were engaged at the time. Donna was the reason Don and Marlena's first wedding was interrupted. She was threatening to jump off the hotel roof and Marlena left to try and talk her down! Hey it's handy to have a shrink for a step-mother! Although their relationship started out bumpy Marlena eventually developed a very good mother daughter relationship with Donna before she was shipped off to live with grandma Craig.

Carrie
Carrie Brady
Daughter of Roman and Anna Brady. Carrie was introduced to her father in 1982. Carrie for the most part was raised by Marlena. That would explain her kind and caring nature. After Marlena died back in 1986 it was RoJohn who took care of Carrie and to this very day she still hasn't forgotten that love. I say that's Marlena's influence!

Brady
Brady Victor Black
Son of Isabella Toscano and John Black. But Marlena is the only real mother he has ever known. He was born May 19, 1992. There is not much to say about poor little Brady. He's hardly ever in front of the camera but if he's anything like Marlena's other stepchildren he should be one of Marlena's biggest allies in the future. Here's hoping they don't screw it up!
