Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) will find himself in need of comfort. Following this murder attempt on Ciara Weston (Victoria Konefal), Ben’s going to be an absolute mess. The good news is Ciara won’t really be dead; she’ll be held captive by Vincent (Michael Teh) somewhere. The bad news is that won’t change the fate of Ben and Ciara’s relationship.
Victoria Konefal is set to exit the role of Ciara soon, and there are no immediate plans for a recast. Someone new could always come along and play the role someday, but that’s not happening anytime soon. As a result, Ben will have to come to grips with the loss of Ciara for now – one way or another.
Thanks to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), Ben’s going to remember something significant about his dangerous faceoff with Ciara. Although Ben will initially fear he’s killed his wife, whatever he recalls should confirm he didn’t. Captive Ciara may be found before her exit, but this isn’t going to end well for “Cin” either way.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Ciara will eventually be gone, which means Ben will need someone to mend his broken heart. Who might that someone be? Gwen Rizchech (Emily O’Brien) might be a good option since she’s not afraid of Ben’s serial killer background.
Since Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus) is returning in the fall, Gabi and Jake Lambert (Brandon Barash) are the couple to root for. Chad and Abigail DiMera (Marci Miller) are another duo for Days fans to get behind, so Gwen isn’t poised for some long-lasting love story with Jake or Chad.
Maybe Gwen could bond with Ben instead – just two brokenhearted individuals in need of comfort.
Claire Brady (Isabel Durant) might be another possibility now that DOOL’s gone a bit older with their recast. It’d be soapy for Claire to scoop up Ciara’s former flame considering their history.
Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold) is one more possibility since Arnold read with Wilson to score the part. Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) would throw a fit over Allie and Ben’s potential romance!
However, keep in mind that Tripp Dalton’s (Lucas Adams) coming back in the mix and will most likely be Allie’s “baby daddy.” Tripp’s probably going to need a love interest, so Ben might get Claire or Allie – whichever one becomes the Tripp reject! Days of Our Lives could turn this into a love quad with Ben if they wanted to.
Even so, Gwen makes more sense if Ben’s still unnerved by his own actions. It’s doubtful Ben would want to be around Allie’s baby, which she’ll likely wind up reclaiming. It’d be better to hang out with Gwen and let her heal Ben in some way. Gwen doesn’t care that Ben’s murdered people and wouldn’t run in the opposite direction.
Although there’s been tension between Gwen and Ben in the past, maybe that could even fuel some passion between them early on. That might lead to blooming love at some point. Bottom line, Ben will soon have a broken heart in need of mending, so let’s hope Days offers someone who can fix it.
