Ben and Ciara Weston are currently on a boat sailing around the world with their wee little tyke, Bo, and expecting their second child — while her portrayer, Victoria Konefal, also has much to celebrate.
Happy Birthday, Victoria Konefal
That’s because she was born on October 29, 1996, in Brooklyn, New York, which means that today this much-beloved performer is turning 27 years old! Konefal was a mere 7 years old when she decided that she was going to be an actress.
Her first professional credits were the feature films Forgetting Sandy Glass (as Kelly), and Living Dead Presents: Fog City (as Georgia Paige). Next, she appeared in the ABC sitcom Modern Family opposite Sarah Jane Hyland (ex-Haley Dunphy) — a former daytime TV alum.
Then 2017 proved to be a banner year for Konefal, who landed leading roles in The Wrong Crush (alongside former As the World Turns and The Bold and the Beautiful star Lesli Kay), Deadly Exchange (written by and co-starring Lindsay Hartley of Passions fame), and the horror picture Circus Kane.
Come December, she was seen on NBC’s Days of our Lives in the role of Ciara Brady — having replaced incumbent Vivian Jovanni. Konefal remained at the future peacock network soap until 2020, at which point she briefly decamped in order to pursue other parts. One year later, she returned, albeit on a recurring basis.
During her tenure at DAYS, Konefal became one-half of the popular Ciara/Ben Weston pairing, alongside Robert Scott Wilson. For her efforts, Konefal has been awarded the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series, and Favorite Days of our Lives Actress honor.
