So who holds the victim record?--Marlena Evans (of course)--with a total of 12 kidnappings! And the number one kidnapper?--no contest here either--Stefano DiMera with 17 kidnappings. It wasn't until 1993 that Stefano was the victim of a kidnapping. He finally got a chance to see what it's like...
This page doesn't include "hostage" situations,
where one or more characters threatens the life of another character
or characters while others watch. Kidnappings on this page are those
situations where a character is taken away and locked up against
his/her will. For definition purposes, if a person is held in their
own home, it is a hostage situation, not a kidnapping, unless that
person is locked up in their home while the kidnapper leaves. In
hostage situations, the perpetrator never leaves his victim. A
kidnapping describes those times when a character is taken away
somewhere.
There are a few spots where I'm looking for a greater explanation or I need more info. If you can help me out, please send me an email: beth@bethsdayspage.com Before emailing me, make sure you read the above distinction on kidnappings and hostage situations.
