Brief Character History
Although adoptive half-brother Alexander's nanny J.J. Bagwood and Stanley Krakowski were their parents, the boys were soon adopted by Justin and Adrienne Kiriakis -- Adrienne hadn't had any luck getting pregnant. Stanley and J.J. had changed their mind and were ready to take the boys back...until they saw how much Justin and Adrienne loved them, and how well they would provide for them. Shortly thereafter, Justin and Adrienne took their brood to Texas, where brother Jackson was born.
Although never shown on-screen, Joey returned to Salem in 2007 with his parents and brothers. Along with his siblings, he attended Salem High School. His time in town was short lived, however, and by January 2008 the entire family moved again - this time to Dubai.
