However, he knew that having Ciara leave town after losing her memory of the love she shares with Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) was going to be disappointing to some fans, because they didn't get the big romantic Cin reunion they were hoping for after Ciara almost died. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, DAYS head writer Ron Carlivati reveals that it's always a curveball for writers when a popular actor in major story or a front burner romance leaves the show, but he's proud of the story that he and his team crafted to incorporate Konefal's exit.

Though the actress chose to leave the series (which is why the story has gone the way it has), she has since decided to return to the role of Bo and Hope's daughter later this summer! I can understand the audience’s frustration, but I am very excited about Victoria’s return and about Ciara’s return, and I think that this time, they may be getting the payoff that they’re looking for.Fans of Days of our Lives' actress Victoria Konefal were crushed to see her popular Salem alter ego, Ciara Brady, take off to South Africa with Theo (Cameron Johnson) during today's episode of the NBC soap opera, but the goodbye won't be a long one. “We are working with Victoria to keep the story going and keep Ben and Ciara’s love story alive.

“I can’t speak for Victoria and I can’t speak for the show, and this is not an official announcement in any capacity, but I will say at this point, there is not an end date,” Carlivati said of how long Konefal would be back for later this year. And bringing her back with partial amnesia, unable to remember her love for Ben, helped facilitate this subsequent exit because if the couple were happily reunited, why would Ciara choose to leave Ben again? Theo may have won this battle, but the war for Ciara’s heart isn’t over yet! XJJohnson/ Born and raised in Brooklyn, the actress now calls sunny Los Angeles home. I would encourage the audience to remember that they have an important anniversary coming up this summer that may figure into their story, so she will be back sooner than you know.”īen and Ciara proved a breakout supercouple for DAYS, so when Konefal went to recurring back in July 2017, they had her character presumed dead knowing that she would one day be back.

With Konefal on recurring status, DAYS has had to write around her absences to continue telling Cin’s story, which he promises is not over yet. In a recent interview, the scribe admitted that writing for the popular couple of Ben and Ciara became a challenge when the actress wanted to leave the show but the actor didn’t. Ciara may have just left Salem with Theo, but Victoria Konefal is coming back to DAYS OF OUR LIVES this summer, assures the soap’s headwriter, Ron Carlivati.
