On Wednesday and Thursday, Days of our Lives delivered the Cin wedding as Ben Weston (Rob Scott Wilson) and Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) finally tied-the-knots, and of course, like a juicy, soapy nuptial in Salem, it came with: bumps in the road, a gorgeous ceremony featuring heartfelt vows and … an explosion that rocked the church and detoured the young couple’s happiness.

DAYS rolled out the red carpet for this one complete with many extras, a huge church gathering, quite the wedding dress for Victoria Konefal to wear, and emotional performances by the on-screen bride and groom.

Shortly after Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) pronounced the two, husband and wife, and as Ben is waiting for his bride to begin their lives as newlyweds together, … as she approaches him in the vestibule of the church, a bomb goes off, and Ben is caught in the explosion.

Watch some of the images from the ‘Photo Album’ of Ben and Ciara’s wedding below.

Absolutely loved this wedding and thought it was probably the best wedding I have ever seen on soaps with tear jerking vows and performances. The entire cast and crew just did a fantastic job! Love #Cin

Loved the wedding but why go and spoil things for Ben and Ciara?I think Days bombed out on this one.

Guest

SURE DID. LOVED THE WEDDING. BOMBED OUT WITH THE BOMB.

Awesome wedding! I loved the slow motion action on the opening of Thursday’s episode. We know who set the bomb. Clyde Weston, but Claire will be blamed and shipped back to BayView, is it? What would be really more interesting is if DAYS killed off Ben. Then, in the fall, Hope and Rafe run off to start their new chapter of their lives with Ciara. I thought I read that Ciara was also rumored to be leaving. That’s why I think it would be more impacted if Ben died in the explosion, but we know Ben escaped somehow. Poor Claire… Read more »

*impactful if Ben died…

I don’t know if Claire will be blamed. Why would she want to endanger her other family members? Plus, building a bomb is complicated. I know kids have done it, etc., but I hope they see this clears Claire of the other incidents.

Killing Ben off would make more sense than what they’re actually doing…. which is ReRon letting his favorite OLTL pet come back and hog all the airtime again.

Not to say he won’t end up dead anyway, because there wouldn’t be much point in him hanging around once Ciara’s left town.

I loved the wedding but I felt very cheated that we didn’t get a first dance, a cake, and the wedding night.

Loved it! Fantastic! I’ve rewatched 6 times already, it will be favorite episode top 5 in 35 years I’ve watched Soaps ⏳

Love the wedding. The bit where confetti rained down on them was beautiful. Then with Ciara reaching for Ben–love.

I thought it was well-done and had me wanting to see more.

I was thinking Clyde is behind it and the other things. He’s mad he didn’t get an invite. 🙂

Now, where’s Ben?

And I really hope Victoria is not leaving. She’s faulous.

I wondered whether it’s an Orpheus bomb, like the one Hope carried out of Marlena’s penthouse. But I think Eve or Eduardo might have taken Ben! Payback for Paige?

Loved the wedding but the aftermath was just what we expected. I can only watch so much of the maniacal bitch Eve and her torturing of Ben, then it’s adious DOOL for me!

Louise Sorel Back Taping Episodes at Days of our Lives

March 20, 2023

During a guest appearance with Harvey Brownstone on his celebrity You Tube interview show, Louise Sorel revealed that she is back in-studio taping all-new episodes of Days of our Lives as Vivian Alamain.

This will mark the first on-screen appearance by Sorel in over three years. However, we heard Sorel’s voice when Vivian made a call to Stefan (Brandon Barash) back in January of this year.

The last few times Vivian was on-screen in Salem, she was played by two different Daytime Emmy-winning actresses. First, One Life to Live icon, Robin Strasser (ex-Dorian) played the part and then exited the canvas back in the fall of 2019. Next, Linda Dano (ex-Felicia, AW and ex-Rae OLTL), took on the role in early 2021 for a brief stint.

In this newly released interview, Sorel dished with Brownstone on the rigors of taping a soap opera, and how on her first day back she felt “God-awful.” Louise qualified that with how she found herself apologizing left and right to the cast and crew because it had been awhile since she had so much dialog to recite and to get back into the swing of things.

The longtime DAYS favorite also speaks to the pace in which everyone works at DAYS to get the episodes completed each day in front of the camera. Since Days of our Lives tapes so far in advance, it will be months till Sorel is seen on the Peacock streaming series.

Check out Sorel’s interview below, where she also shares some behind the scenes intel on her time on Santa Barbara as Augusta Lockridge.

Head Writer Ron Carlivati on Bo & Hope Return: “This Is Old School Days of our Lives, and It’s Something That The Audience Has Waited a Very, Very Long Time to See”

March 11, 2023

Next week, begins the continuation of the shocking story arc that started last summer on Peacock’s limited streaming series, Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem Chapter 2.

In it, DAYS fans learned that Bo (Peter Reckell) has been kept in cryogenic cylinder for years, and was brought back to life by Stefano’s daughter, Megan Hathaway (Miranda Wilson).

Now, circle March 16th for Reckell’s first episode back as Bo and March 17th as Kristian Alfonso’s first episode back as Hope to the mothership and Days of our Lives.

Head writer, Ron Carlivati previewed the storyline in a new interview with Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue on newsstands now.

Carlivati shared: “We pick up Hope where we left her off. She had gone though this whole experience with Harris Michaels (Steve Burton), finding out that he was in league with Megan Hathaway, and we ended her on ‘Beyond Salem’ like, ‘I have to bring Megan Hathaway to justice. I have to find her and make her pay.”‘

While Hope is on mission, she will also have Harris Michaels back in the mix, and as the head scribe shares, “Hope is on a collision course with Bo, and she’s unaware of it.”

As to what lies ahead for viewers, Ron revealed: “This is old-school Days of our Lives, and it’s something that the audience has waited a very, very long time to see. You won’t want to miss it.”

Check out Peacock’s promo for the return of Bo and Hope below which teases that while most people get over their high school sweethearts, this one never did, alluding to Megan’s past relationship with Bo, which is the impetus for her revenge plot.
