“Days of Our Lives” viewers are finally getting used to seeing actor Robert Scott Wilson as Alex Kiriakis after he spent years in the fan-favorite role of Ben Weston. During Wilson’s time as Ben, “DOOL” fans fell head over heels with him and the pairing of his character with Bo and Hope’s daughter Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal). However, in 2022, Ben and Ciara opted to leave Salem and sail around the world with their newborn son, Bo Brady Weston.

There are so many iconic “Days of Our lives” characters, and Ben and Ciara reached super couple status during their time on the soap. Fans last saw Ben and Ciara during Season 2 of the show’s spin-off “Beyond Salem.” The pair headed to Montreal to visit Ciara’s mother, Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso), and found themselves involved in major drama that included the three prisms. At the end of the season, it was revealed that those prisms were used to bring Ciara’s late father, Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) back to life, and that storyline will continue when Bo and Hope return to the flagship show in 2023.

Some Days of Our Lives fans want to see Alex Kiriakis leave Salem

While Bo and Hope’s return has been confirmed, “Days of Our Lives” viewers will also see Konefal return to reprise her role as Ciara Brady (via Soaps). Fans are a bit confused about where Ben Weston will be. Will Ben return to Salem with his wife, or will he be off somewhere taking care of the couple’s baby? Either way, fans want to see Ben and Ciara back together in Salem. Of course, Robert Scott Wilson’s role as Alex Kiriakis may complicate things.

Now, fans are calling for Alex to leave town so that Ben can return and there can be no confusion. It’s always possible that Wilson could pull double duty as both Ben and Alex, as other stars have done something similar in the past. Judi Evans has portrayed both Adrienne Kiriakis and Bonnie Lockhart, and Eileen Davidson and Stacy Haiduk have both portrayed Kristen DiMera and Susan Banks. However, this situation is a bit different.

Days of Our Lives viewers miss Robert Scott Wilson as Ben Weston

“Robert Scott Wilson‘s portrayal of Alex Kiriakis is nothing like Ben Weston,” one person tweeted. “Rob was better as Ben Weston. I like Alex but Ben is definitely better. Ben had layers to him,” another wrote. “Give Us Ben Weston BACK at least with Ben there is a Storyline [of] him being a DAD!!!” one person commented. “It’s Funny how everyone has Forgotten how much BEN WESTON is LOVED by SOOOOOOOOOO MANY!!!” stated another.

Only time will tell if Robert Scott Wilson will ever reprise his role as Ben Weston, and if “Days of Our Lives” fans will get to see Ben and Ciara Brady reunite in Salem.
