“Days of Our Lives” viewers love nothing more than when a former beloved character returns to Salem. Of course, some characters are a bit more special than others. Legacy characters have a very special place in the hearts of fans, and Bo Brady is definitely at the top of the list. So, is he coming back anytime soon?
Days of Our Lives hints at the epic return of Bo Brady
“Days of Our Lives” fans were heartbroken in 2015 when actor Peter Reckell returned to celebrate the soap opera’s 50th anniversary and say an official goodbye to his character, Bo Brady. Bo came home to Salem to have an amazing reunion with his family, friends, and of course, his wife Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso). Sadly, the happy reunion didn’t last long. Bo was quickly diagnosed with a brain tumor. He later died in Hope’s arms, marking one of the most tragic deaths in the sudser’s history.
However, nearly a decade later, Bo was revealed to be alive thanks to Megan Hathaway and her work to gain the three prisms. During Season 2 of “Beyond Salem,” Bo’s body was brought back to life after being kept in a cryogenic chamber. Bo later returned to “DOOL” when he was found by Marlena, Kate, and Kayla in Greece.
What is Bo’s current status?
When Bo was resurrected, he had memories of his former life. However, he didn’t care about his family back in Salem. Instead, he wanted to use Megan and Rolf’s knowledge to become a wealthy man like his father, Victor Kiriakis. Of course, once Hope found out that Bo was alive, she did all she could to try to bring him back to his former self.
Just seconds after Hope got through to Bo, the couple’s son, Shawn, did the unthinkable. Shawn fired his gun at his father, whom he believed was about to harm his mother. Sadly, the gunshot wound put Bo in a coma. He’s been in a longterm care facility ever since the shooting.
Recently, “Days of Our Lives” has been mentioning Bo Brady’s name more often. With Victor’s trip to see his son resulting in a fatal plane crash, Bo’s name has been on the minds of many Salemites. Sadly, Bo won’t get the chance to say goodbye to his biological father as he’s still in a coma. However, all that may change in the near future.
Will Bo return to Salem again?
Many fans believe that the soap is setting up another Bo return. Viewers were unhappy with the brief reunion between Bo and Hope before the shooting, and they want more. Fans want to see Bo and Hope with their children and grandchildren. They want the pair to come back to Salem and sit in the Brady Pub with their closest friends.
Even if Bo and Hope come and go from Salem over the years like other characters such as Sami Brady, Jack Deveraux, and Jennifer Horton, fans are holding out hope for another big return from the iconic characters. Peter Reckell has hinted that he’d be up for reprising the role again. Anything is possible on “Days of Our Lives,” and only time will tell if the rumors are true.
