Renée resented Lee for lying to her, and Lee couldn't bear that and left town, or so it was assumed. Especially after Lee just disappeared (in real life, actress Brenda Benet had taken her own life). Marlena offered counseling to Renée over the course of months helping the young girl cope. Renee quickly broke things off with Tony, not telling him the real reason in order to spare his feelings. When Renée read Lee's diary she found out that Lee wasn't her sister but her mother, and that her father was Stefano DiMera. In 1982, Tony proposed to Renée, who accepted. However, she was afraid to tell Renée the truth, as she didn't want Renée in Stefano's care. Renée and Tony began dating, and her sister Lee DuMonde warned her to stay away from him, as she knew they were half-siblings. It was during this time that Renée and Tony DiMera developed deep feelings for one another. However, while the 'Salem Strangler' was still on the loose, Renée was invited to stay at the DiMera Mansion for protection. This helped, along with other clues, link the police to Jake. Renee survived to inform the police that she remembered his cologne - a cologne worn by Jake Kostichek. Renée tried very hard to be liked, which often rubbed people the wrong way, including the Salem Strangler, who attempted to murder her twice. She eventually warmed to the Hortons through her friendship with Jessica Blake Fallon. While looked down upon by the Hortons for this reason, she was taken under the wings by Chris Kostichek and Marlena Evans. She first appeared in Salem, as the feisty younger sister of Lee DuMonde, the evil home wrecker of Doug & Julie Williams. Renée is notable for being the first member of the DiMera family to appear on the soap opera. She is the daughter of Stefano DiMera and Lee DuMonde. Renée DuMonde (also DiMera) was portrayed by Philece Sampler from 1981 to 1983, with guest appearances in 1984. Nick's murderer, Gabi Hernandez, accepted a plea deal and Jessica agreed to it, not wanting the heartache of a trial. In 2014, Jessica received horrible news that Nick had been murdered, and Julie Olson Williams delivered Nick's body to her and Joshua, so they could bury him. Nick was put on probation and chose to serve out his probation in Salem, so Jessica left Salem alone.

In 2012, Jessica came to Salem to see Nick, who was in prison for murder and was getting paroled.

Offscreen, they had a son named Nick who came to Salem without his parents in 2006. Joshua and Jessica married and eventually left Salem. In 1982, after recovering from her mental health problems, Jessica broke off her relationship with Jake and became engaged to Joshua Fallon. Marie and Alex rushed to Vegas and stopped the wedding just in the nick of time. Angel and Jake ran off to Las Vegas to elope, but Jessica came to and called Alex.

Scott departed from the series on November 9, 1982. Jessica Blake Fallon was portrayed by Jean Bruce Scott from April 30, 1980. She noted the value of soaps relaying issues and situations that occur in real-life and helping spreading awareness to audiences, but also said the storyline 'may have been far too sensitive to bring up in the first place – leaving many fans devastated and heartbroken over the baby and entire situation'. Journalist Dorathy Gass called the storyline 'shocking'. The couple separate when they cannot come to terms with their baby's death. Donnie is premature, and dies three months later from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. DJ's birth is portrayed onscreen in the episode of February 26, 1980.
