CHELSEA BENSON-BRADY'S HISTORY
Chelsea hasn't always been the “good girl” she seemed to be. Coming off as Abby’s sweet and innocent best friend, Chelsea was surreptitiously encouraging Abby to smoke, drink, and lie. Meeting Abby’s friend Patrick Lockhart gave Chelsea a new mission in life: to get Patrick for herself! With Abby’s help, Chelsea worked hard to keep Patrick out of Jennifer Deveraux’s clutches and then to keep him away from Billie Reed.
Her dogged pursuit of Patrick led her to drug him, hoping he’d sleep with her, and then later to spike Billie’s drink, an act which backfired, actually driving Billie and Patrick together.
On Abby’s 17th birthday, tragedy struck, as a car accident claimed the lives of both of Chelsea’s parents. Billie stepped in and took the orphaned Chelsea into her own care, and the two of them moved in with Patrick.
Soon after moving in and still mourning the loss of her parents, Chelsea was shocked to learn that the parents she was grieving weren’t her real parents. Her real parents were actually Bo and Billie! Seems the stillborn daughter, Georgia, that Billie had suffered years before had actually been alive and healthy…and stolen by the DiMeras.
This new development was a problem for Chelsea, who was no friend to Billie – her biggest obstacle to getting her hands on Patrick! But eventually Chelsea came around when it came to Billie, who had so taken up for her – so much so that Chelsea sent a fake email to Hope, pretending to be Bo, and saying he wanted a divorce, just so Billie and Bo could get back together. This proved to be a mistake, as a livid Bo disowned Chelsea when he found out.
Chelsea’s troubles extended behind the wheel as she has so many reckless driving moments that her driver’s license was revoked. She took driving lessons to appease Bo and was eventually given car privileges on New Years Eve. That would prove to be a fatal mistake, as Chelsea, taking her eyes off the road while text messaging, “hit something.” Later she learned that the “something” she hit was her half-brother, Zack. Zack died from the accident and Chelsea was sure she’d be in deep trouble. But Billie took the blame and Chelsea got off the hook.
Later, Chelsea found herself involved in an online affair with someone calling himself Dr. Shane Patten. Falling for Dr. Patten, Chelsea asked Nick to find out who the guy really was, but found out that “Dr. Patten” was really Nick, trying to get in Chelsea’s heart. Chelsea was so hurt by this betrayal she ended her friendship with him. Later, when she found out that Nick had slept with her mother, Chelsea moved out and went to live with Bo. Her mother has tried to repair the relationship, but things are still icy between them.
In yet another dramatic turn of events, Bo’s house is set on fire by Willow Stark, who used Chelsea’s hairbrush to frame her for the blaze. Frightened, Chelsea turned to her good old friend Nick to steal the hairbrush so Bo wouldn’t find out about it. Nick, afraid that Chelsea was lying, went to Willow who tried to steal the hairbrush from Nick and ultimately died in the ensuing struggle.
Since, Chelsea has moved on and, while Nick has vowed to win her back, her eye has been caught by Jett Carver, who she almost kissed. When she witnessed Jett get shot in the back in a Vegas casino, Jett delivered an ambulance confession: he told Chelsea he loves her!

Monday, October 13 2008: Life is Too Short!
Kate goes on a spending spree, and while she's in the dressing room, Chelsea finds her. She tells Kate that Daniel told her that she went missing and asked her to go looking for her. She says Daniel told her that this was a matter of life and death, but Kate says it must have been a misunderstanding. Chelsea tells her that after today, she doesn't want to see her. Kate gets a text message from Daniel, telling her there is news on the biopsy. She sighs and tells Chelsea that a recent cough has forced her to have tests. Chelsea calls herself selfish. Kate is glad she's there and wants to discuss things and put it to rest, but Chelsea can't. She can't forgive or forget that it happened initially. Kate has had it with Chelsea's self-pity, anger and resentment. She has been forgiven many times, but yet she is cruel, punishing and continues to judge her. She tells Chelsea that what she did with Daniel wasn't wrong. The sooner Chelsea deals with that the better off she'll be. "Life is too short," she says, and Chelsea would like to get over this but she can't.
Friday, October 10 2008: EJ, I'm pregnant....
Chelsea finds Daniel at the hospital and he asks her to find Kate and get her back to the hospital as soon as possible. Her life might depend on it. He knows Chelsea knows a little about what's going on with Kate and tells Chelsea that he can't discuss the case, but asks her again to find Kate and bring her back. Theo interrupts and shows Chelsea his horse. "Zoo," he says. Chelsea is puzzled, and Daniel calls Lexi to tell Lexi that Theo is well and at the hospital. Abe and Lexi share a big hug and cry in relief! Meanwhile, as Chelsea tries to find out where Abe and Lexi are, Daniel returns to the room to explain what happened. Chelsea asks why Theo came to the hospital. "Don’t tell me you came here to see me," she says. Theo nods, and hugs her and she makes him promise not to do this again. He says, "Okay," then Lexi and Abe rush into the room and grab him. Hugs ensue, and they leave. Daniel tells Chelsea that she has a connection with Theo that nobody else has. When Daniel calls her incredible, Chelsea becomes uncomfortable. "Can't we be friends," asks Daniel, but Chelsea doesn’t think so. "You slept with Kate," she says and tells them they've beat this dead horse already. He never meant to hurt her, he says, and Chelsea tells him she can't be friends with someone she doesn't trust. It never would have worked out, anyway. "We're in different places and want different things." She has moved on and tells him he should as well.
