Numerous artists portrayed Lexie Carver on Days of Our Lives. Introduced to the soap in 1987 by Cyndi James Gossett, the follow-up actors, Angelique deWindt and Shellye Broughton, were finally replaced by Renée Jones in 1993.

However, her questionable actions in helping Jonah Carver, Abe's dubious brother, made her lose her job as a law enforcer.

Lexie then joined the medical school. She joined the city's hospital as a doctor and renewed her affair with Abe. After her marriage to Abe, she discovered that she was adopted and her biological parents were Stefano DiMera and Celeste Perrault. She reconnected with Stefano and her half-siblings in a love-hate relationship.

The couple struggled to start their family, but Stefano interfered. As such, Lexie learned late that her baby, Isaac, was, in reality, Hope's baby, Zack. After being forced to hand over baby Isaac to Hope, Lexie faced marital problems. When she finally conceived and gave birth to Theo, she lost Abe to the criminal, Salem Stalker.

Grieving her husband's death, Lexie had an affair with Tek Kramer. However, Salem residents soon found out that all the victims of the Salem Stalker were kept alive but held hostage at Melasewn Island. Reunited, she started rebuilding her life when her half-brother, André DiMera, kidnapped her and held her in the DiMera tunnels. She was released by Hope and Bo Brady.
