Background

While grieving the loss of their young son, Zack Brady, Bo and Hope Brady found comfort in each others’ arms and conceived Ciara. Although her paternity was in question in the beginning because Patrick Lockhart had tampered with the DNA tests to claim he was her father. Bo delivered Ciara in a warehouse and Patrick confessed the infant’s true paternity before he was arrested for kidnapping Hope.

As a child, Ciara was abducted from the Salem Carnival by a man she’d come to call her “birthday buddy.” But he was actually a registered sex offender named Kyle who was working with his sister and her boyfriend to hold Ciara for ransom. Dean, a corrupt cop with the Salem PD, realized the authorities were closing in on them and shot Kyle and Brenda dead while wounding himself. Ciara was rescued, but traumatized by the experience. Especially when Dean later attempted to get the money from Hope after all. Thankfully, Bo saved the day and rescued his family!

Ciara was originally born on December 29, 2006 but her birthday was changed to July 16, 2004 then March 18, 1998 then July 19,1998 then July 19,1997 then July 16,1997. Ciara was born in a warehouse, delivered by Bo. Patrick reveals her true paternity before being arrested.

Tragically, when father Bo Brady returned after three years of being away in 2015, he soon died of terminal cancer. In 2016, she finally graduated from high school with her niece Claire Brady, her cousin Joey Johnson, and her friends Theo Carver and Jade Michaels.

She was in a committed relationship with Tripp. However their relationship didn't last after he walked in on him and Claire nearly having sex. Soon afterwards, she was saved by Ben Weston, who was recently released from a mental asylum, and she has begun to fall for him, despite everyone's disapproval. In late 2018, after breaking up with Tripp for the final time, she and Ben decided to give their relationship a chance. After two years of being blissfully in love, in 2020, the two of them got married, however, their marriage ended before it could begin as Ciara was kidnapped and killed by Vincent Belman, who wanted revenge on Ben for killing his fiancée, Wendy Taylor, during his killing spree in 2015.

When Ciara wakes up, Ben promises Ciara he has changed and convinces her to let him tend to her wounds. The two bond as Ben takes care of Ciara and she begins to trust him.
