Finally, after days of suspecting the worst about her niece and best friend, Ciara had that worst confirmed by Claire herself in some harrowing Days of Our Lives drama that had us riveted to our TVs Monday. While the audience and Ciara are well aware that Claire is obviously ill, that doesn’t mean she is completely wrong in her feelings.
Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan) has Ciara (Victoria Konefal) at her mercy as she has her tied to a cabin bed, unable to escape — for the third time in under a year. As every villain does, Claire confessed to her crimes, thinking Ciara won’t be able to tell because she’s going to kill her.

When she finally found something she wanted — winning the New Face of Bella contest — Ciara couldn’t care less about it but entered just to mess with Claire — and won (she turned it down and let Claire have it). Ciara also won the latest guy — Tripp (Lucas Adams).
