they were going to give her an extreme makeover. CC is a beautiful woman but they made her appear older and hag-like with those ridiculous clothes she wore when she first came back to Salem, along with the scraggly hair and sparse make-up. It made her look much older than her years. Now she looks more like Carly, just in time for her to find that Bo will still love her in some way, but he will be completely absorbed in caring for his "true" love, Hope. Ciara is making an effort, perhaps due to Victor’s urging her the other day when Maggie was looking on, but it’s not helping Hope to not be returning her daughter’s letters. If it continues (which I’m sure it won’t), I would guess it might warrant the little girl turning to someone else, i.e., Carly, for a mother’s love. Or, maybe she’s just faking it for Bo’s sake.
