Soap fans have been begging for Bo & Hope to reunite on DOOL. The casting news fans have been waiting for broke earlier today. Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso are returning to the Peacock show for a ‘special’ story. Keep reading for all the details.

Peter Reckell Begged To Return To DOOL

Days of Our Lives fans fell in love with Bo Brady & Hope Williams nearly 40 years ago. Neither Kristian Alfonso or Peter Reckell are part of the cast at the moment. But fans often ask Peter Reckell on social media when Bo will wake up from his coma.

The character has been in a coma for over a year after getting shot by his son. Shawn Douglas didn’t recognize his dad in the split second moment before he shot him because Bo died from a brain tumor in 2015.

But Peter Reckell returned as Bo for the second chapter of Peacock’s DOOL spinoff Beyond Salem. Bo spent most of the season keeping an eye on Hope from above and trying to figure out a way to return to the land of the living. He succeeded, but had no memory of Hope after he was resurrected.

Fans were heartbroken to find out that Peter Reckell didn’t film earlier this year for the tribute to Bill Hayes/Doug Williams that will air in November. The actor took to his Twitter to beg the show to wake Bo up from his coma.

Well, the show finally listened. Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso are bringing Bo & Hope back to Salem.

Bo & Hope Involved In ‘Special’ Storyline

Kristian Alfonso did film a brief return for the funeral of Hope’s father, Doug Williams. That will air in November. Fans will have to wait a little longer to see Bo & Hope together again on the show.

According to TV Insider, the actors are on set right now filming for a ‘special arc’ to honor the show’s 60th anniversary. Days Of Our Lives premiered on NBC in November 1965. The sudser moved from NBC to Peacock in 2022.

Peter Reckell told the outlet that fans are “really going to love” the return of Bo & Hope. Kristian Alfonso, who once vowed never to return after quitting in 2020, agreed. She said, “These episodes with Pete will not disappoint.”

According to TV Insider, Bo & Hope’s return is just one of the many surprises DOOL has in store for the show’s anniversary.

Viewers won’t see the episodes Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso are filming now until 2025. Share your reaction to this stunning cast news in the comments.
