Hope (Kristian Alfonso) will have to put out one fire after another this week on "Days of Our Lives." Spoilers reveal that Ciara (Victoria Konefal) will be causing some trouble.
Although Hope has worked things out with Rafe (Galen Gering), she will also have to deal with her daughter. She might be more than happy to have her back in town, but she will eventually realize that Ciara is not who she used to be anymore. Shawn (Brandon Beemer) and Belle (Martha Madison) both know it too, and they will confide in Hope about their concerns.
They will feel like Ciara has had trouble coping over the past few months. However, this struggle goes back a lot further. It seems that Ciara has been building to this time in her life for years now.
Longtime viewers will know that Ciara had abandonment issues when Bo (Peter Reckell) was away on a mission. It eventually turned out that he was being held captive, and it was almost too late for him to escape. Ciara only managed to spend a day at the most with her father before he passed away. Apart from dealing with his death herself, she also had to stay strong for Hope.
Ciara also had to deal with the fallout Aiden (Daniel Cosgrove) caused. What made this even worse is that Chase (Jonathon McClendon), Aiden's son, raped her. He pretty much changed her life forever and she still had to witness her mother go to prison for shooting Stefano (Joseph Mascolo). However, this is only half of what she had to go through. Theo (Kyler Pettis) coached his friend Wyatt (Scott Shinstone) about Ciara so that she would fall in love with him.
However, Wyatt just ended up using Ciara for his own benefit. When it was all out in the open, Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan) also revealed that she hid Ciara's heartfelt letter to Theo so that he would not read it. Now, Theo's injuries will really send Ciara over the edge. Noting everything that Ciara had to deal with over the years, Ciara has all the right to be a little rebellious.
And she will definitely show her rebellious streak in the coming episodes. Ciara will not hesitate to speak her mind, especially when it comes to Claire. She will make her niece's life a living hell over the next few weeks. Naturally, Hope will wonder what has gotten into her daughter. She will call her out on her behavior and urge her to to fix it. Ciara will obviously not be interested, so a heated confrontation between mother and daughter will be coming.
"Days of Our Lives" airs Mondays to Fridays at 1 p.m. EST on NBC.
