Can a series of secrets and lies make a couple stronger or shatter what they have?

That's the big question for Ben and Abigail on Days of Our Lives.

Ben is a newer face in town, but he possesses secrets in his past with sister Jordan and the arrivial of their dastardly father could ruin the lives they've tried to build in Salem.

Abigail, part of the stoic Horton clan, always tries to do what's right - but she had a misstep with her brief affair with Sami's then-fiance/now-husband, EJ. Sami, of course, has been going all over town dragging her name through the mud and she's not going to stop until Abigail (and her reputation) is destroyed.

As secrets inevitably begin to be exposed - watch for Will's expose on the DiMera drama to take things to a new level of hurt next week - will they bring the new lovebirds together or drive them further apart?
