At the age of 13, a tobogganing accident ended her skating career and Alfonso began modeling. By the time she was 15 she had appeared on the cover of over 30 magazines, including Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. She was first seen on TV playing opposite Rock Hudson in the TV movie The Starmaker in 1981.

Alfonso left the show in April 1987 for a two-year stint on the night time soap opera Falcon Crest as Pilar Ortega for its last two seasons. She returned to Days briefly from April to July 1990; this return culminated in the entire town of Salem believing that Hope had died. In 1993 she starred alongside Dolph Lundgren in the film Joshua Tree (1993 film) in which she played a cop abducted by an innocent convict on the run.

Return to Days of our Lives

She returned to the show for a third time in May 1994 as "Gina," an amnesiac who looked a lot like Hope. She ended up being Hope, but not before a drawn-out storyline involving evil Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) brainwashing Hope into believing she was Princess Gina Von Amberg. In 2015 Hope, a prominent detective in the Salem Police Department, was the one to finally kill the evil Stefano Dimera, now elderly and in a wheelchair, by shooting him in cold blood in his own study at the Dimera mansion. She, and Detective Raphael "Rafe" Hernandez hid his body in a condemned building. Stefano has appeared several times as a Ghost as the actor Joseph Mascolo has retired. This will have repercussions that will weigh heavily on Hope Brady's conscience in the years to come.
