Abraham Washington "Abe" Carver is a fictional character from the American soap opera "Days of our Lives". Actor James Reynolds has played the character since he first appeared on the series in 1981.

Character history

Abe grew up in Salem with brothers, Theo and Jonah. His passion for justice started young, but amplified after Theo was killed by a crooked police officer. Abe joined the Salem Police Department determined to rid the city of filth, including international crime lord, Stefano DiMera.

Abe was the police officer who investigated Anna Brady's claim that she was sold into white slavery. She had reported the existence of her secret Swiss bank account to her husband, Roman Brady.

He had a relationship with a woman named Nikki Wade, but this was cut short after he stood her up at a debutante ball in favor of heading up a drug bust. Before Abe's promotion to police chief, he met and married Alexandra (Lexie) Brooks. Just after their marriage, Lexi went searching through Aremid's files for her adoption records. She found out that her mother (Frankie Brooks- AKA Celeste Perrault), whom she'd always thought was her aunt, was actually her mother. She also learned that Stefano DiMera was in actuality her birth father. Conflict has risen many times in Abe and Lexi's marriage due to the presence of Stefano.

His next major storyline involved the Aremid wedding of Peter Blake and Jennifer Deveraux. Abe was caught up in the investigation of Tony DiMera's murder. Abe and Lexi went to Paris to find Marlena when Stefano kidnapped her. They ended up finding and saving Marlena and catching Stefano but were unable to prosecute him, because only Stefano had a drug that would save Roman's life. Abe, Lexi, and John helped break Stefano out of jail and later he was pardoned for his crimes after returning to Salem with the drug Roman needed.

Later, Abe and Lexie adopted baby Isaac, thinking he was the child of Stefano's alcoholic niece, Marlo. Isaac was actually Bo & Hope's son who Stefano had switched at birth. Abe was later appalled to learn that Lexi knew of the switch, but hid the truth from him. Abe filed for divorce and after Lexi helped Hope Brady and her son Zack, Lexi and Abe reconciled.

Shortly after, Brandon Walker came to Salem with a deep hatred of Abe. Lexi slept with Brandon during a weak moment and became pregnant, not knowing who the child's (Theo) father was, but this was soon resolved. The baby was Abe's and they reconciled for good. Brandon's presence caused issues for Abe until it was revealed that he was Abe's son, by Faye Walker. After some time, Abe and Brandon embraced each other as family, and have since had a good relationship.

Abe was shot dead on the day of Theo's christening. He was the first victim of the 2003 Salem serial killer. Months later he turned up on a remote tropical island, (melaswen/newsalem) which was a complete replica of Salem. His "ghost" started appearing to Celeste and Lexi, (this was not explained). He worked together with Roman and the others and got off the island. Abe was reunited with Lexi and Theo but went blind and learned he was impotent. His anger shone through and he became paranoid that Lexi was cheating with Tek. She wasn't at the time but did so soon after, and stopped her affair when Abe found out from an anonymous note what had been going on. The marriage was in turmoil for a while until he used Lexi in the EJ Wells investigation, then fell back in love with her. They stayed together until Lexie disappeared December 29, 2006.

His eyesight has started deteriorate again and he recently underwent a second retina transplant. At the same time, Lexi was found in the tunnels under Doug's Place and the DiMera mansion, where Andre has kept her all these months against her will. The transplant successful, Abe has returned to work as the Commissioner of the Salem Police Department.
