Character history

Del Henry arrived in Pine Valley in 1994 to seek out his half-sister Dixie Martin. Del was the product of an affair between Dixie's father Seabone Hunkle and his "other wife" (Del's mother). Del made his presence known to Dixie, who was shocked that her father had a long term affair and that she had a brother. Eventually, Del and Dixie became close and Del revealed that he had a degenerative kidney disorder and needed a transplant. Dixie agreed to give Del one of her kidneys, despite her husband Tad Martin's insistence that she not. Dixie donated the kidney, which compromised her health for years to come. Del thrived with Dixie's new kidney and his health returned.

While in Pine Valley Del encountered Maria Santos Grey, his college love. Years earlier, the two had an affair and Maria got pregnant. She had induced her own abortion, which eventually led to her problems conceiving children. Despite the history between them, Maria was happily married to Edmund Grey and did not renew her romance with Del.

Del, an author, met Kendall Hart while she was serving a jail term for perjury. Kendall wanted to write a tell-all book on her estranged mother, Erica Kane. Seeing a quick profit, Del agreed to help her write it. The book never came to fruition, but Del and Kendall fell in love. The two left, in 1995, for Kendall's home state of Florida, engaged.

Eventually the two broke up and Del's health began to fail him again. Del learned that he had a sister, Di Kirby, whom was given away at birth. Del tracked down Di and asked for one of her kidneys. Di agreed and the transplant was a success. During the preparation and recovery period, Del told Di all about her half-sister Dixie.

In 2005, Del was shocked to see that Di had come to Pine Valley claiming to be Dixie. Angry at the disrespect to his late sister's identity, Del confronted Di and threatened to expose her. Di told him that she deserved Dixie's life and was helping the family that she had fallen in love with. She begged Del to keep her secret. Del agreed, but stood by Di when the whole town learned the truth. He was surprised but happy to later learn Dixie really was alive and well. But this joy turned to devastation in early 2007 when Dixie was killed by the Satin Slayer, a serial killer that came to Pine Valley.

After Dixie's death and Di's moving to New York, Del became a back-burner character. He currently is a bartender in ConFusion nightclub.
