The character of Rafe Hernandez was introduced in 2008 on Days of Our Lives by actor Galen Gering. Rafe is a complex character who has been a part of several central storylines. He was an FBI agent who was sent on a mission to Salem to protect Sami Brady. However, the two became close friends over time, though Rafe kept his personal life private.
As time passed, he grew closer to Sami and fell for her. However, Rafe's younger sister Arianna disapproved of this relationship. Despite Arianna's disapproval, he started dating Sami, and even asked Sami if he could legally adopt Grace Dimera (her daughter, who died later).
Rafe had a spiteful relationship with EJ DiMera, a conniving man. EJ was also married to Sami, and this grew into tensions between the three.
In the recent story arc, Rafe is growing closer to Jada, who works with him at Salem PD. EJ kidnaps Rafe and replaces him with his doppelganger, Arnold Feniger. This exchange causes some major drama on the soap opera, leading to confusion and betrayals. However, Rafe's sister Gabi is suspicious and is positive that EJ is behind all this.
Gabi even confronts EJ with a gun, to which he denies every allegation. Later, when Rafe finally reappears, he has no memory of what happened to him. Jada tries to jog his memory, but nothing really clicks.
The current plot has left fans speculating that Rafe might be leaving Salem to go back to working for the FBI. However, there has been no confirmation by the actor or the show so far.
