Though her time in Salem was short, the Colombian-born actress still has strong ties to the soap world -- televovelas, that is. She began her career in 2006 with a starring role on Telemundo's Decisiones and later gained international recognition for her dramatic role as a bodyguard in the popular soap Corazn Valiente.
Duque was originally brought onto DAYS along with Mexican star Alma Delfina (ex-Adriana Hernandez) to help boost the show's Latino appeal. Rumor has it A Martinez's (Eduardo Hernandez) step down to recurring status affected both actresses' futures on the show.
