Days of Our Lives Exclusive: Victoria Konefal’s ‘Cin’ Forecast Reminds Anxious Fans That ‘You Can’t See the Rainbow Without the Storm’
Thursday, June 24th, 2021
Ben and Ciara’s “constant roller-coaster” ride continues.
After having left a devasted Ben to go to Johannesburg with Theo on Days of Our Lives, Ciara makes her return to Salem next week. While there’s a good chance it has something to with those divorce papers Ben refuses to sign, Victoria Konefal hinted there could be some happiness for the duo as well.
Considering everything the young marrieds have faced over the years, including kidnappings, brainwashing and now Ciara’s amnesia, Cin could definitely use some joy.
When Soaps.com’s Kirstyn Burtt caught up with the Outstanding Younger Performer nominee on the Daytime Emmys red carpet, she asked the actress if there was anything she could share about Ciara’s upcoming return.
In response, the actress let out a loud laugh. “Unfortunately, there is nothing I can tease,” Konefal said.
“But there’s a lot to look forward to,” she quickly reassured. “So to anyone who is looking forward to it, please keep your eyes peeled because there will be drama, and it will be good.“
When further pressed about Ben and Ciara getting a happier storyline, Konefal remained tight-lipped, only allowing a smile and a nod, followed by, “You know what? Yeah.”
However, in echoing her on-screen love interest’s portrayer, Robert Scott Wilson, the actress reminded us, “You can’t see the rainbow without the storm.” Therefore, fans should expect as much drama as happiness.
Watch the full interview above for more on what’s to come for Cin, as well as Konefal’s gratitude toward Days of Our Lives. Then, look through the photo gallery below of our dream Daytime Emmy winners, and make sure to tune in to the actual awards airing Friday, June 25, at 8/7c on CBS.

<p>When <em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Elena slept with Nate and Devon in short order, we had absolutely no doubt that <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/news/591179/young-restless-will-elena-cheating-lead-scandalous-pregnancy/" target="_blank">she’d wind up pregnant</a>. After all, we’ve seen a few soaps in our time. But in the most shocking non-twist of all time, the show wisely avoided a “Who’s the daddy?” storyline, instead opting to let the complex emotions at play carry the drama. </p>

<p>We’re not sure exactly why <em>Days of Our Lives’ </em>Eve and Vincent thought Ben needed to be stripped to his skivvies in order for their brainwashing efforts to work, but who are we to question their methods? The results speak for themselves. Also, the results say, “Wowza.”</p>

<p>The only thing more shocking than how quickly <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Steffy got addicted to pain pills? The moment when the fashionista went and pulled a knife on the family members who wanted nothing more than to help get her into treatment. This was the knife’s big break, having previously only appeared in a production of <em>Clue </em>so far off Broadway that it was in Tennessee.</p>

<p>While we never actually saw the ceremonies which united <em>General Hospital</em> supervixen Nelle to first Shiloh and then, a few months later, Julian, we’re pretty sure the first dance at both was to the tune of “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” </p>

<p><em>Young & Restless</em>’ Jill easily walked away with this one, also known as the Mother Knows Best Award, by forcing Lily and Billy to work together at Chancellor Communications. Sure, she said her goal was to have Lily rein in Billy’s more destructive tendencies, but we all know she was also matchmaking. </p>

<p>It was the smack heard ’round the world and the quip quoted ’round the twitterverse. After <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>’s Brooke struck rival Shauna, Quinn returned the favor by hitting her nemesis so hard, it literally knocked the blonde off her feet. “Stephanie taught you to slap? Bitch, you should have learned that from me!” Had Stephanie’s portrait still been hanging above the fireplace, it definitely would have cracked a smile. </p>

<p>Although <em>General Hospital </em>spent a whole lotta time trying to convince us Nina’s half-heart necklace was both valuable and unique, we’re pretty sure a whole army of 12-year-old girls who split the same piece of jewelry with their BFFs could attest otherwise. </p>

<p>The rivalry between <em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Theo and Kyle was as pointless as it was destructive, making both characters wildly unlikable. Worse, it would ultimately result in Tyler Johnson’s Theo being exiled despite being made a newly-minted member of the Abbott family. (Mind you, if we had our way, <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/news/583339/young-restless-theo-tyler-johnson-cross-over-bold-beautiful/">the character would soon turn up here</a>.)</p>

<p>Seemingly minutes after being sworn to secrecy by <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Sally, Katie was telling anyone who’d listen about the redhead’s supposedly fatal diagnosis. Not since the infamous ride of Paul Revere has news spread so quickly.</p>

<p>“Stevano” — aka <em>Days of Our Lives’ </em>Stefano as Steve (or vice-versa… don’t ask) — thought he’d finally won over the object of his obsession, Marlena, only to find out that he was actually making out with her double, Hattie! </p>

<p>Not since Lucy Coe proved pigtails never go out of style has a <em>General Hospital </em>character’s mane been so noteworthy. For a while, we thought perhaps if Cyrus let his hair down, he’d be more chill. Unfortunately, when eventually he did, it led to gunshots and hostage-taking! </p>

<p>Somehow, <em>The Young and the Restless’</em> Nick and Phyllis managed to convince themselves that they were just pals for a fairly long time… even when they became the kind of friends who have benefits. Lots and lots of benefits. They may have been surprised to realize they’d fallen back in love, but we’d seen it coming from a mile away. </p>

<p>Kidnapped by rival Sally, <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Flo reached out to beau Wyatt by writing a message on her unconscious rival’s panties. When the redhead attempted to seduce her ex in an effort to get pregnant, she exposed herself… and not in the way she’d planned! </p>

<p>Sure, it turned out <em>Days of Our Lives’ </em>Gabi was wrong in thinking that scruffy mechanic Jake was her back-from-the-dead billionaire ex, Stefan. But on the plus side, he turned out to be Stefan’s secret twin… and thus, still a very rich, very handsome DiMera! </p>

<p>When illness prevented Emma Samms from returning to <em>General Hospital </em>as planned, quick thinking and a jerry-rigged camera clued viewers in to the fact that Holly Sutton was not dead, as rumored, but being held hostage. The single image — and <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/general-hospital/news/578716/general-hospital-who-kidnapped-holly-suspects-photos/">the many question it raised</a> — has haunted us ever since! </p>

<p>It’s not that the digital picture frame <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Ridge presented to Brooke was so clearly going to wind up showing the worst possible image so much as that he acted as if the cheap device used by every grandparent on the planet was some cutting-edge contraption from the far-flung future. </p>

<p>It would be an understatement to say that <em>Days of Our Lives’ </em>John did not appreciate the cactus Sami brought him as a get-well gift. After hurling it at the wall, he spat, “Leave it to you to bring in a plant that doesn’t need any care. That’s how you treat people, anyway — you think they can survive on nothing. But you, on the other hand… you need all the love and attention because you’re so special. Do you have any idea how sick I am of you?” Guess Hallmark doesn’t make a card that expresses that! </p>
