Ben Weston is one of the most beloved characters to ever come through Salem.
However, he wasn’t always a “Days of Our Lives” fan favorite.
Ben first came to Salem in 2014 with actor Justin Gaston in the role.
However, by April 2014 Robert Scott Wilson had stepped into the character.
The couple got engaged and found out that they were expecting a child together.
Chad confronted Ben about the deaths and Ben beat Chad so badly that he fell into a coma.
Later, Ben took Abigail out of Salem and to a remote cabin for her protection.
Abby went into labor and begged Ben to take her to the hospital.
After Abigail’s son was born, Ben killed the midwife and buried her in the woods.
Holding Abby prisoner, Ben began to fall deeper into his mental health issues.
Ben was later found and Abigail was reunited with her son, Thomas.
She later discovered that Chad was the father of the little boy and the two rekindled their romance.
However, Abigail Deveraux couldn’t forget the trauma that she’d been through.
Abby began having mental health issues of her own, and even having hallucinations of Ben coming after her.
She tried to work through her issues and she and Chad even got engaged.
After showing up in Salem, Abigail devised a plan to seduce Ben.
However, Ben spent time working on his mental health issues and getting therapy and medication.
Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) later recommended that he be released from the sanitarium.
They quickly became one of the most beloved couples in Salem, and Ben completely turned his life around.
