Days of Our Lives fans are on cloud nine these days since their favorite super couple, Bo and Hope, have returned to Salem! Actors Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso debuted as Bo and Hope four decades ago and have lived in fan hearts ever since. However, they were away from the immensely popular Peacock soap for a while. But that’s all changed now since they are back on the screen together for a really exciting storyline!
The last time we saw them was in Chapter Two of Beyond Salem. Megan managed to save Bo’s life but was keeping him hostage in a hyperbaric chamber. Meanwhile, Hope was functioning under the belief that Bo had died. However, when she learned that Megan was alive, she decided to hunt her down and bring her to justice. The story is now poised to continue in Days of Our Lives. Peter and Kristian recently spoke about their return to Soap Hub. Kristian shared that they couldn’t leave the audience hanging and had to continue the story.
Furthermore, Kristian added that she thought it would continue in Beyond Salem: Chapter Three. But then Days of Our Lives happened. She divulged that she and Peter were pitched a story that the fans would love. That’s why she decided to come on board. Moreover, the opportunity to work again with Peter, Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Stephen Nichols (Steve), and Drake Hogestyn (John) is just amazing. Peter and Kristian both feel immensely grateful for the love their fans had shown them, even during their absence from the show. Thus, they had to come back for them.
During Bo’s absence on Days of Our Lives, Hope was temporarily paired with Rafe. However, they didn’t have the same chemistry. In fact, during an argument, Rafe hurled at Hope that her problem with him is that he is not Bo. During the screening of that scene at Days of Our Lives fan event at Universal Citywalk, fans went ballistics! Cementing the fact that Bo and Hope will forever be their endgame couple! Peter points that it’s amazing that writers are taking note of what fans want.
Peter enthused that his and Kristian’s return has given them another chance at being Bo and Hope. He insisted that it has been “quite a journey,” on Days of Our Lives. We are so happy to hear that Kristian and Hope both care so deeply about their fans, and have returned just for them! Are you excited to see Bo and Hope reunited? Tell us in the comments. Meanwhile, stay tuned to Days of Our Lives to continue watching their journey!
