BEST NEW COUPLE I CIARA AND BEN, DAYS

On paper, there is no way anyone should be rooting for this duo: He’s a serial killer and she’s the daughter of one of the show’s most beloved supercouples. But it’s hard to argue with the compelling tale of forbidden love playing out between them on-screen, and the smoldering chemistry between their portrayers, Victoria Konefal and Robert Scott Wilson. The two crossed paths when Ben discovered an injured Ciara and her crashed motorcycle on the side of the road, carried her to safety and nursed her back to health. A friendship developed as Ciara became mesmerized by his kindness, and Ben appreciated her willingness to look past the heinous crimes he committed and accept him for the man he is today. In the process, the subtle sparks between them have intensified into a powerful bond. Their tentative steps toward coupledom while Hope remains determined to keep her daughter safe from him only adds more fuel to the fire. We can’t believe we’re saying it, but in a word, they’re simply “Cin-sational”.
