However, the actress refused the offer, settling instead for a 16-week run.

Konefal admitted that she didn’t want to return to the soap for another year.

“I did quit for a reason,” she confessed.

“My artistic integrity was no longer being fulfilled.

I needed a change, a switch-up.”

The actress was then given a recurring role on the show as her storyline with Ben Weston continued.

The couple boarded their family’s boat and took off.

Robert Scott Wilson later returned to “Days of Our Lives” as a different character, Alexander Kiriakis.

However, fans are excited about what’s to come when the actress returns to Salem.
