Welcome Home Ciara! Victoria Konefal Makes Her Days of Our Lives Debut

Ciara is coming home next week on Days of Our Lives (DOOL) and it’s sure to make Hope a VERY happy woman.

While there’s no word on what Ciara will do once she returns to Salem, odds are she’ll be pretty concerned about Theo, who as of now is still fighting for his life after JJ shot him.

In the December 4 issue of Soap Opera Digest, Konefal says she auditioned with Kyler Pettis and Olivia Rose Keegan and admitted it was her first-ever screen test. She had been waitressing and was stunned that she got the job.

She says her mother was even more thrilled because she learned English watching DAYS after immigrating from Poland — and Bo and Hope were her two faves. Now, her daughter is playing Bo and Hope’s daughter, bringing things full circle.

Konefal describes Ciara as “one bad-ass chick” who she sees as an “inspiration.”

When we last saw Ciara, she left town to visit Shawn and Belle after not being able to get over Theo.

Is she over him now? Did she maybe find someone new–or will she find someone new? Perhaps Tripp will catch her eye. We guess we’ll all have to tune in to find out.
