Kristian Alfonso Previews Bo & Hope’s Returns to ‘Days of Our Lives’
Preview
It’s good to have hope on daytime.
For long-running Days of Our Lives, which hopped to Peacock from NBC last September, that means Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso). She’s back in Salem for the first time since 2020. “Who said Hope is in Salem?” Alfonso asks, chuckling.
Secrets aside, Hope returns on Friday, March 17 hot on the trail of villainous Megan Hathaway (Miranda Wilson), who tried to murder her last year in the Beyond Salem spinoff. “Hope does not leave stones unturned,” Alfonso says.
Hope is “utterly, completely shaken” to learn that Megan may have played a role after pals Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), Kate (Lauren Koslow), and Marlena (Deidre Hall) were killed by a lethal toxin. (Viewers have already seen the trio enjoying gal pal time in heaven!)
On her search, she reunites with detectives Steve “Patch” Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and John Black (Drake Hogestyn). Working with her fellow daytime vets and good friends was a highlight, says Alfonso, after the three didn’t get to share any screen time on Beyond Salem.

And speaking of the spinoff, the biggest surprise is forthcoming: the love of Hope’s life, Bo Brady (Peter Reckell), who died of a brain tumor in 2015, woke in Megan’s cryogenic chamber at Beyond Salem’s end. That sparked Alfonso’s return, reuniting supercouple “Bope.”
“I couldn’t leave the audience hanging with Bo opening his eyes at the end!” she exclaims in teasing a “very clever twist” still ahead.

I stopped watching when it switched to peacock and we have to pay. It is crazy how they are either drugging, kidnapping or bringing the dead back. Must be time for Steffano to return

I started watching Days at the very beginning. I stopped a number of years ago when it started getting really crazy. It has now taken ridiculous to a whole new level.it is amazing that it has been renewed for for another 2 years.

I have watched the show for over 50 years. It’s nice to bring back the story line of the dead but it can become not a reality. I wasn’t going to pay for 🦚 I said. Since it’s only $1.99 a month for 12 months that’s ok. But after the 12 months I don’t know if I will still watch. I understand why NBC did it but the loyal oldies are left out to dry. It is nice to have Bo and Hope back. Keep the story line moving. It becomes boring when it’s dragged out the storyline. Since you bring back the dead so it’s time for you to bring back Stepheno . Why not. Keep the story line moving.
