Belle And Shawn Return For The Holidays On Days Of Our Lives

Hope is going to have her children all in one place very soon on Days of Our Lives (DOOL), which is a good thing after her breakup with Rafe and her job loss.

She’ll need to stay occupied and has Ciara (Victoria Konefal) back in the fold tomorrow and next week she welcomes Belle and Shawn.

All three had been in Hong Kong for much of 2017. Belle was there for work, Shawn followed her there so they could be together, and Ciara soon joined them to have somewhere new to get her life together.

But, now Theo’s been shot, and all three return to Salem, according to the September 11 issue of Soap Opera Digest. It’s a good thing because Claire needs her parents right now.

Belle and Shawn mainly function as a support system for Hope and Ciara, according to Brandon Beemer, but Martha Madison admits to one big thrill during this DAYS stint–the chance to work with Alison Sweeney.

“That was really fun. Belle has a backbone now so it’s backbone vs. backbone,” Madison said. “Ali has a lot of good ideas, so we played with it for a long time to really give it that sister feel.”

Beemer expressed his disappointment with the brief stay, but also optimism that it might become more one day.

“They recognize that the fans want us on the show,” he told Digest. “And I hope that they recognize we’re pivotal characters to the canvas and would have us back more often.”
