‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Ben might wreck Charlie and Claire's love story, but are #Cin fans ready for it?  

Set to air this December 1, the summary of Season 56, Episode 49 reads: Charlie becomes wary of Claire's friendship with Ben

Things seem to be pretty rosy in Charlie Dale (Mike Manning) and Claire Brady's (Isabel Durant) paradise. What will happen if Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) enters Claire's life and a friendship blossoms between them. In the next episode of ‘Days Of Our Lives’, there's a hint of jealousy as Charlie notices Claire hugging Ben. Is that another love triangle in the making?

Set to air this December 1, the summary of Season 56, Episode 49 reads: "Xander grills Kristen about her mysterious visitor; Sarah tries to get Philip to open up about his time away from Salem; Charlie becomes wary of Claire's friendship with Ben; Jennifer and Bonnie make Jack and Justin jealous."

Ben and Claire have quite a history but now things seem to take a fresh turn after Ciara Brady Weston’s (Victoria Konefal) apparent death. Can Charlie wrap his head around the new bond? Going by the spoilers, when Charlie heads to Titan, Claire will join Ben in his hotel suite and go through Ciara’s stuff. Perhaps, she could help Ben clear out his wife’s belongings and move on. But with her closeness to Ben, will there be sparks of a romantic connection? 

Claire chooses an old locket of Ciara as a memento and she'll break down in tears while going down memory lane. The two think back to old times to mourn their mutual loss. The real problem strikes when Charlie notices Claire’s necklace. When Claire confesses Ben gave it to her, will Charlie let it pass? How can he be okay with Ben giving his love interest gifts in his absence? Get set to see Charlie's possessive side. Will Claire defend Ben when Charlie gets too nosy? Only time will tell.

Not all fans are happy to see Ben back in Claire's life, especially hardcore #Cin supporters. Many have even predicted what would happen. "And I fully expect Ben to have had sex with Claire before Ciara returns. It is soap writing 101 and I'm fine with it. They are clearly setting it up already. A lot of #Days stories are trash right now, but I'm looking forward to that mess," one fan said and continued, "I know Cin stans hate the idea of Ben and Claire boinking, but it would be soap writing malpractice if he didn't bang anyone while Ciara is 'dead'. What would be the conflict if she just returns and it is just a perfect romance novel reunion?"

Another viewer added, "Yeah, but I think it was Hope it would be way soapier. But yes, no doubt Claire and Ben will have an affair, Ciara will come back, Ben will dump Claire as if they were strangers after saying he loves her. And Claire will be pregnant. Because it's #DAYS." A third chimed in, "I am NOT a Cin fan, and I don't want Ben and Claire together either! However, I don't think that Cin are immune to a triangle anymore than any other couple on this show. Bring someone else in for Ben, just NOT Claire! Yeah, I know...wishful thinking."

Do you think Claire should end up with Ben instead of Charlie? Or is there scope for Ciara to be back in Ben's life? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
