ABE CARVER'S 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, RomanBrady.
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 (Lexi) 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 Lexi 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. (Marlena)
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 the 'gloved one' (EJ Wells - Stefano and Susan's son) and their 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.
Recently, Lexi disappeared and now Abe is bringing up Theo with Celeste. His eyesight has started to deteriorate and he recently underwent a second retina transplant. Lexi has been found (in the tunnels under Doug's Place and the DiMera mansion, where Tony has kept her all these months against her will) and is now awaiting word on whether this transplant has worked.
Abe's second retina transplant was a success!
Lexi and Abe were reunited and after going through some tough times with their working schedules, their son, Theo, was diagnosed with Autism. This caused strife between the two but they saw a therapist and worked on their relationship and family issues. They continue to work together to cope with Theo's Autism.
Abe quit his job as Police Commissioner and worked freelance for awhile before he ran for Mayor of Salem and won. He then appointed Bo Brady as police commissioner as his first act of duty. He and Bo vow to work together to make Salem a better, less corrupt city.

Thursday, November 20 2008: They’re Ingrates!
Abe finishes a speech at a press conference at the Brady pub and Donna Farrell bumps into Lexi. She runs the support group for Autism and wonders why they haven’t seen her at group in a while. Lexi has been busy and wanted to spend the extra time with Theo. Donna understands completely. Abe shows up and Lexi finds out that Donna also helps with Abe’s campaign. Lexi’s face falls. Chelsea interrupts and gives Lexi a “Redbook” with a good Autism article in it. She goes off to see her grandmother while Abe asks how she thinks the conference went. Lexi thinks it went well and starts wondering how Donna does it. She has four children – one of which has Autism, and she’s so busy. Lexi can’t get through the day with just one kid. She shows Abe her itinerary for tomorrow and asks how she’s supposed to do it all. Abe feels for her, and reminds her how important her job is. Lexi feels incompetent with Theo, and is envious of Chelsea. Abe thinks she’s a terrific mother. Nearby, Chelsea takes a call from Stephanie, who tells her she needs to come to the police station right away, so Chelsea leaves the pub. Later, Lexi cries as she reads an Autism article and as Abe talks with Donna about the campaign. Abe returns to her and Lexi shares her thoughts on the article. She has felt so sorry for herself, but the women in the article are noble and getting out there, making a difference. Lexi sniffs as Donna drops by and asks if she’d like to join the environmental task force. Lexi hasn’t thought of it, but then suddenly perks up. She’d love to do it! Donna is thankful. Lexi says she’ll be at the support group for the Autistic children next time there is a meeting, as well!
Back at the pub, Abe receives a call. He later tells Lexi that Bo and Hope have Trent Robbins’ killer and it’s Nick Fallon. Lexi stares, in shock.
Thursday, November 06 2008: Schmoozing Like a Pro!
Lexi, Abe, Bo and Hope are exuberant when Abe is named mayor, at the pub, but Tony notices that Roman looks troubled, he opens up to him about Stefano's part in the murder of Mariano. They wish Stefano would have stayed out of this election and Roman wonders if Abe will turn down the job.
Nearby, Evan asks Abe to make his speech. He thanks Lexi for putting up with him and says how honored he is to be the mayor of Salem, and accepts the position of mayor.
EJ makes a call from outside the pub, looking for Nicole, then goes into the pub and asks Bo for help. "Nicole's missing." They men go outside and EJ shares how Nicole was to be transferred to University hospital but she hasn’t been checked in under that name. Bo makes a call and finds out Nicole's in the jail infirmary.
Bo returns to the pub and explains what happened with EJ. Bo grins at Abe and says, "He's schmoozing like a pro!" Nearby, Roman congratulates Abe and admits he was concerned that Abe wouldn’t take the position. Abe admits he was conflicted and says it puts a damper on the celebrations knowing Stefano could have had a hand in Marino's death. He refuses to let anyone keep him from his civic duty. They stare at Bo and Abe says he plans to name Bo police commissioner. They'd like to finally get the upper hand on Stefano. Nearby, Lexi tells Hope that Abe wants to name the new police commissioner soon. The group gets together and congratulations are all around. Abe asks Bo to become the new police commissioner and Bo says he may need time to think about it, but laughs and says, "Why do you think I wore this damned tie?!" He's happy to be on board. Bo and Abe pose for photos and Tony says he finally feels as though Salem's in capable hands.
