Bo & Hope Reunion Faces 3 Huge Obstacles on ‘Days of our Lives’
On Days of Our Lives, they’ve teased the comeback of Bo Brady and Hope Brady for many months now. However, it doesn’t look like their reunion as a romantic couple is coming anytime soon.
Although the peacock soap opera has been pushing promos showing Bo looking loved-up with Hope, the fact is there are three giant obstacles in the way of a reunion for this super couple. How long until they’re back together?

#1 Hope Brady’s Moved on Since Bo Brady Died on Days of our Lives
In case you don’t recall, it’s been 71/2 long years since Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) died in Hope Williams Brady’s (Kristian Alfonso) arms on Days of Our Lives. He died of complications of a brain tumor on November 23, 2015.
Since then, Hope grieved losing of the love of her life. But then she found a new path and forged past her grief. And after losing her soulmate, she’s had several other romantic interests.
Before we saw her again on Beyond Salem Chapter 2, she’d been involved with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). Then, in the DOOL spinoff, we saw her in the arms of Harris Michaels (Steve Burton).
The bottom line is that she is in a completely different place in her life right now. And that is an obstacle. But perhaps not the biggest one that she and Bo will face before they can get back together on Days of Our Lives.
#2 Bo Brady Isn’t the Man He Once Was on DOOL
The larger challenge they may face is that Bo Brady is far from being the man he once was on the Peacock soap opera. He’s now turned away from his family and is refusing to acknowledge his past.
Except for his tie to his biological father, Victor Kiriakis (the late John Aniston). You may remember that Bo always thought that Shawn Brady (Frank Parker) was his father. But he found out as an adult that he was a Kiriakis.
For just a minute back in the day on Days of Our Lives, he called himself Bo Kiriakis. But now, it seems that he is fully embracing that side of his family. And Bo seems quite ruthless now — and could be a mismatch for Hope.
This new attitude of Bo Brady’s could be the biggest hurdle for them to overcome if we’re going to get a redo of this super couple. Then again, these two haven’t seen each other yet so that could change everything.
#3 Hope’s Involved with Harris on Days of Our Lives
Spoilers have Hope Brady getting closer to Harris as they chase down leads in Greece this week and next on the Peacock exclusive. And there are sparks flying as the two share some kisses.
Plus, Hope’s got no idea that her beloved bow is alive if not quite so well mentally… Next week on Days of Our Lives, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) finally finds Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans). And she’s with her big brother Bo.
Once he finds them, Patch should call Hope Brady to tell her about this stunning revelation. Currently, it seems Hope’s falling for Harris. But the reveal that Bo’s alive should change everything.
Since Bo Brady is intent on forgetting his past and creating a new future for himself, he could be the largest barrier to seeing the Bo-Hope reunion everyone’s dying to see since they heard Reckell and Alfonso would return.
