His return to Salem following his release from the Sanitarium has already proven to be far from well-received in town. Now, one of the people there who has the least reason to want him back will come face-to-face with Ben, and their reunion will be far from a pleasant one on the Friday, July 27 episode of “Days of Our Lives.”

When Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) was acting as the Neck Tie Killer a few years back, one of his victims who died was Paige (True O’Brien), Eve’s (Kassie DePaiva) only child. Losing her devastated Eve on the NBC soap, and she left town not long after. Since then., she’s returned and been involved in a large amount of mischief within the Kiriakis clan, but she has never lost sight of the thing that haunts her the most in this world, which was her daughter’s murder.

Now, with Ben back in town, everyone has had reason to want him gone. Chad (Billy Flynn) had driven him to the town limits on his first night to get him to leave, and he had intended to until he found Ciara (Victoria Konefal). The two had been holed up together in the same cabin where Ben had tried to kill Chad and Abigail (Marci Miller) before it went on fire. Now, with no evidence to prove he set the blaze, he is free, and Ciara is the only person in town who seems as though she wants him there.

Ben will learn however that as much hate he’s received already, it’s only about to get worse for him, as Eve will happen upon him in the park.

When she sees him, she will be incredibly angry and disgusted that he is there, and it won’t take long for her to try, while in an emotional state, to enact revenge on him. However, while she won’t necessarily go all the way when it comes to getting vengeance, she will want to know why he took her daughter from her. Whether or not Ben answers her and gives her a satisfactory apology, it will be safe for Ben to assume that she too will be someone who would love nothing more than to see him either gone from Salem entirely, behind bars for life, or dead and buried in the ground.

“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays on NBC.
