"Days of Our Lives" viewers have watched Ciara Brady grow up before their eyes. As the daughter of legendary super couple Bo and Hope Brady, Ciara is a legacy character that fans have loved from the start. Ciara had a bit of a traumatic childhood as she was kidnapped and had to deal with her parents' marital issues (via Soap Central). After Ciara was rapidly aged into a young adult, she dealt with problems like sexual assault and the death of her father. However, she grew into a strong and independent woman just like her mother.
Meanwhile, fans first met Ben Weston in 2014 when he came to Salem looking for his sister, Jordan Ridgeway (Chrishell Stause). Ben was a loose cannon who eventually started up a relationship with Abigail Deveraux, per Soaps in Depth. However, things took a dark turn when Ben started showing off his violent side. When people in Salem began dying at the hands of a serial killer dubbed The Necktie Killer, Ben was eventually revealed to be the murderer. He was sent to a mental hospital to receive treatment after attacking characters like Paige Larson, Serena Mason, and Will Horton.
However, against all odds Ben and Ciara ended up together and became one of the soap opera's most beloved couples (via Paper Magazine). Of course, in true soap fashion, the couple's first meeting was one for the books.
