Kimberly Brady arrived in Salem in 1984. Kimberly met Shane Donovan when Shane, a secret agent for the ISA, was spying on her. Before returning to Salem, Kimberly had been in Europe for 5 years, where she had been working as a high class prostitute and sometimes photographer. Kimberly had incidentally taken photos of Stefano DiMera's secret island in the Caribbean, and Shane was sent by the ISA to retrieve that film. Soon, Kimberly discovered Shane's mission and agreed to help him. The two grew closer after Kimberly revealed that she had been molested by her Uncle Eric (Shawns brother) as a child, which was the main reason for Kimberly fleeing Salem 5 years earlier. In 1985, Stefano was eventually presumed dead and Shane and Kimberly eventually fell in love while chasing a terrorist known as the Dragon in the United Kingdom. Before the Dragon was captured, he revealed that Shane's supposedly dead wife Emma was still alive. Emma began terrorizing Kim, who soon suffered from a case of hysterical blindness. During Kimberly's bout with blindness, she became close with mobster Victor Kiriakis, and after she had recovered, Shane decided to use Kimberly's friendship with Victor in order to bring him down. The plan quickly went awry, and Kimberly ended up sleeping with Victor in order to save Shane's life. When Kimberly became pregnant; she did not know if Shane or Victor was the father. In addition, Kimberly was horrified to learn from her mother Caroline that Caroline had also had an affair with Victor and that Kimberly could be Victor's daughter. However, it would later be revealed that Kimberly's brother Bo was the result of the affair, not Kimberly.
