Days of Our Lives Scoop: Rob Scott Wilson & Kate Mansi Talk Shirtless Confessions

at .

Is the love story between Ben and Abigail doomed on Days of Our Lives?

When one of the couple (Ben) goes mentally off the deep end, kills a slew of people in town and then kidnaps his love (Abigail), it might make  you think that there is no happily ever after for this couple.

Plus, hello, Chad is still out there and is hot on the trail of the woman he loves (Surprise! Also Abigail!) and may be able to save her.

However, as actress Kate Mansi explained to us this weekend at the Day of Days event in Los Angeles, despite any feelings for Chad, Abigail also still loves Ben despite everything he's done.

And while it's a stretch to think she's as damaged as Ben is, Rob Scott Wilson added his character's family make-up is behind much of what he's doing, as you'll see in the first half of the interview:

Days of Our Lives Quotes

Abigail: You knew it was my alter. Gabi, I have apologized to you a thousand times. I never meant to hurt you.
Gabi: But I do want to hurt you, Abigail. I do. Because you, you just keep on leading this amazing, great life, and I'm the one who keeps getting screwed. You didn't even get punished for what you did, you didn't even get a slap on the wrist. You even told Chad you wanted to be punished. You're welcome. And yes, I did drug you, and yes I did put this wig on your head to make sure you were having a relapse. Hold the applause.
Abigail: Why are you confessing all this now?
Gabi: Because you can't do anything about it. I have you exactly where I want you.
Abigail: Well, you know I'm gonna tell everybody that you confessed.
Gabi: Oh like you told everybody about my last so-called confession at the courts? No one is gonna believe anything that you say, because what you said came out of a crazy person's mouth.
