- Ben Weston is a fictional character from Days of Our Lives, an American soap opera on the NBC network, most notably portrayed by Robert Scott Wilson. The role was originated by Justin Gaston in 2014, as Ben Rogers, when the character was introduced as the new love interest of Abigail Deveraux (Kate Mansi), and was later revealed to be the estranged brother of Jordan Ridgeway (Chrishell Stause). Soon after, Wilson was hired as a recast and the writers began exploring the character's dark past with the introduction of his abusive criminal father Clyde Weston (James Read). In 2015, the romantic triangle between Ben, Abigail and Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) culminates in Ben becoming a serial killer, known as the "Necktie Killer," claiming several victims, including legacy character Will Horton (Guy Wilson). Robert Scott Wilson vacated the role in late 2015 and would reprise the role for multiple guest stints before returning to the show as a series regular on June 1, 2018. Upon his return, head writer Ron Carlivati began to redeem the character through his friendship and eventual romance with Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal), whom he later married and had a son with.

- I thought he was fascinating character and wondered about his redemption and the possibility of a new lease on life. Obviously he's a polarizing person who affects so many other characters, so the situation that's being set up is that the whole town is going to be united against him. (en)
- I'd be hard pressed to think of an actor who grew as quickly and as far as he did during Ben's brief time on the show. He's easily part of my top ten villain performances of all time on DAYS. So, I'm never opposed to seeing him on my screen again. (en)
- DAYS Decimates Will Horton! Should Ben Have Brutally Murdered This Once Legacy Character? (en)
- I ran with it because I got what I wanted: a chance to play Ben in a total arc, taking him from one set of character traits to a completely different type of person. From an acting standpoint it was very rewarding. It was great to have some real, tangible information about Ben's backstory, and seeing the character given more depth, no matter what direction it took. (en)
- Ben's got his baggage and his demons, and he's such a layered character, and I'm finding new colors, and it's really been fun. I enjoy going to work every day. I'm getting some really gritty work, and that's all you can ask for, good work. (en)
