Lexie Carver was adopted as a baby but didn’t find out until she was an adult. Upon looking for answers about her family, she turned to her aunt, Celeste Perrault (Tanya Boyd). “Days of Our Lives” first introduced Celeste in 1994 when she appeared as the right-hand woman of Salem villain Stefano DiMera. Celeste joined Stefano in New Orleans as someone who helped him keep a watchful eye on his prison Princess Gina. She later came to Salem and was revealed to know several people in town, including Lexie. When Lexie asked Celeste to tell her the truth about her parentage, she was unwilling to open up. Eventually, Lexie learned that Celeste was her biological mother and the two were able to connect as mother and daughter.
Celeste pulled back from helping Stefano but was able to insert herself into Salem drama in other ways. Celeste was revealed to be a psychic and often read tarot cards, which she used to help her predict the future and see visions about a disaster that was to befall other Salemites. In 2012, it was Celeste who urged Lexie to seek medical attention when she began to feel ill. Lexie was diagnosed with a brain tumor and later suffered a tragic death in the arms of her husband, Abe. Following Lexie’s funeral Celeste moved to Chicago but has visited Salem in the years that followed.
