A week after his wife, Kelly Moneymaker, took to Twitter to discuss his impending departure as Bo Brady, Peter Reckell is confirming his Days of Our Lives exit.
"Days of Our Lives has been my home, My life, for almost 30 years," tweeted Reckell. "Bo is a character that developed From my soul, And has touched many lives, But none more than my own. I took my place in the hierarchy of the show, in the storyline, moving others aside, in the [eighties]. Now others have moved into the place I once held. I have been very fortunate to have had such a long, meaningful, run.
"But now, with a torn heart, I have to say goodbye to the people, family, the character, that I love," Reckell continued. "You have to know this has not been easy. I do not want to give up Bo, and with luck, in the future, will be able to return to the character that I fought so hard to preserve."
Reckell went on to express his gratitude to his devoted fan base.
"Thank you for being the most supportive, forgiving, loyal viewers there are," he tweeted. "You have given me strength in difficult times. You are the reason DOOL is still standing and will continue for years to come. Thank you for all you have given me and the character I love!"
Viewers can take some comfort in the fact that they'll get to enjoy Reckell's performances for a few months longer.
"Bo will be in the story until late October, so we do have some time together," Reckell tweeted.

get rid of EJ and keep Bo
- June 18, 2012 at 6:47 pm(2) Laurence H says:
EJ's not the problem….the writers are. He's a very popular character and the writers rely too heavily on him now….even I, a fan of his, am sick of looking at him everyday. Now if you want to get rid of some people, get rid of Gabi, Abby, Billie (this one), Chad, Cameron (that dude's chin is a beast lol), and Rafe. The others I don't like are on their way out anyway, except Melanie.
Truth is, though, that these exits are too much for me. I don't know if this show will be able to evolve beyond this…note, I didn't say "Continue", I said "Evolve"….I mean, there are some die hard Days fans that have been watching this show for decades…and here I am, almost two decades in and I don't even recognize the show anymore.
- June 18, 2012 at 7:15 pm(3) Dee21 says:
The fact is he is asking for more money and the producers don't want to give it to him. This epitaph of his is just well acted bull. He's been doing this role for 30 years and is 57 years old. He manages just fine to feed his family, enjoy a rich full life and never has to worry about a bill or anything. Why people cannot be happy with what they have is beyond me. He has more money than most of us will in our lifetimes. Even if he had to take a bit of a pay cut, he would still have ample enough. It isn't like he can spend it when he passes away one day.
- June 18, 2012 at 7:19 pm(4) Jane says:
Dee21 is correct – this about money. By the way, when was the last time Peter won any kind of award for his work? Just sayin'.
- June 18, 2012 at 7:43 pm(5) bev says:
I have watched DOOL since it started way back when, I so enjoy the show but I cannot figure out why they are letting Bo go he will totally be missed. I really hope the new writers realize what they are doing, because I am not sure if I understand.
- June 18, 2012 at 7:53 pm(6) Robin Schultz says:
Thanks for the updates… My next question – so when does Kristian (Hope)'s contract expire? *SAD FACE*
- June 19, 2012 at 4:54 am(7) Shannon says:
I don't blame him. The incoming writers gave Bo horrible material the last time they were with the show. He knows he's going to get the same treatment this time and now they want him to do it for less money. He's can take a break, spend time with his family and Bo can always come back when/if better writers take over. Why should he have to stay if he's not happy?
- June 19, 2012 at 9:29 am(8) Carol says:
I will miss you Bo. I have watched you from the beginning.
I hope EJ will be better a person now that he isn't a demirera
- June 19, 2012 at 10:31 am(9) Cathryn says:
DAYS used to revolve around family. I think that's why it captured so many hearts and followers. Now I have no idea what it revolves around. There's no family left.
- June 19, 2012 at 10:40 am(10) jeanie says:
I will miss Bo, I have watch it from the time it started as a small girl with my mother, they always let the best go, first john and dr and now bo, well when hes gone I will watch shows on cbs.
- June 19, 2012 at 11:26 am(11) Fran says:
I will miss Peter has Bo he has been my favorite since he showed up back in the early 80′s. I have watched Days for 38yrs now and he is the only main actor that I really love.
Peter was not demanding more money they were asking to take another pay cut and that is wrong. Get rid of all these over the top actors like EJ or Stefano and Kate and Nicole and go back to the real stories and that is about the Hortons and the Brady's and some of their friends and other family.
- June 19, 2012 at 12:29 pm(12) shygirl says:
I agree with you Fran and Cathryn. One hundred percent. When the gansters came to town the whole fabric of the story changed. While it was exciting at first, one gets tired of evil snarky characters that forever rise from the dead and never go to prison to pay for anything. Family values? Not in Salem, not for a long time. Sure the characters give lip service to them, but thats all it has been for a long time. Cheap talk. Bo, take care of yourself. I will miss you but you deserved better from Days than the crappy lines and plots the use for story now.
- June 19, 2012 at 1:04 pm(13) days+30 says:
I will miss Bo/Peter as he's been one of the reasons I've watched everyday for 30+ years. Days was on in my home as a kid, my mom watched Days. I got hooked back in the 80′s when Bo and Hope became a couple. No couple has been as endearing to me than Bo and Hope. There were many copy cat supercouples who followed them on Days, Kayla/Steve, Jack/Jennifer, Justin/Adrienne but none of them held that special place for me. I never liked Bo with any Billie and certainly not Carly. As for money, it seems to me the real money is always behind the scenes, not necessarily the front and center actors and I don't blame Peter for not taking such a drastic pay cut if that rumor is true. There is too much dead weight in Salem which should have been sent packing and the core families should be in tact. Soaps are about family; they are never-ending stories. So who will head the Brady family now? Roman is a day player without a storyline, Bo and Hope are an intact family with more to tell. They should have rightly moved into the center instead of being pushed out.
- June 19, 2012 at 1:08 pm(14) ML says:
I sstarted watching Days with my mother and my sister.. the story line has gotten boring!! sick of Billy, Rafe, and Sami is boring, always the same thing with her, then they bring Marlena…princess that does no wrong! they haven't given Bo a decent role in years,
- June 19, 2012 at 2:09 pm(15) shirley says:
Peter ( Bo) please don,t leave days of our lives ,,,i have watchedn you for 30 years or as long as you been there,,,you and Hope are so good,,,it will never be a good show without you and Hope ,,,please think this over ,,,don,t leave days,,,
- June 19, 2012 at 6:04 pm(16) Brody Caldwell says:
As I said before, if NBC can give an over rated,boorish,creep looking moron like Howard Stern all that money to judge a stupid reality show, the should not ask Peter to take a pay cut. In fact they can well afford to pay him more. NBC has turned into loser network and they are the ones destroying DOOL. They want the show to do horrible so they have an excuse to cancel it and put another stupid info show us telling what to and not what to eat. NBC is doing to DOOL what ABC did to AMC and OLTL. NBC and ABC, two loser networks perfect together!!!!!!!!
- June 19, 2012 at 10:39 pm(17) MM says:
Days has always been about the Hortons and the Bradys. Bo and Hope represent the union of those two families. There is so much more to develop about this couple. It is time to bring Shawn D and his family home and allow the grandparent parent role to evollve. Let Bo and Hope take their rightful place at the head of their family As fans we need to believe in this possibility.
- June 19, 2012 at 10:58 pm(18) Teresa B says:
Impossible to watch Days without Bo.
He is the main character, and does that mean Hope goes also??
They are Days of our Lives
- June 20, 2012 at 9:42 am(19) Voice of Reason says:
Kristian Alfonso has already renewed her contract and isnt going anywhere.
- June 20, 2012 at 11:09 am(20) Dorie says:
I have to agree with "MM," I too believe it's time they took the heirachy of their characters and be the couple who takes the role of Mr. & Mrs Tom Horton as the couple they all look to for advice, After all…….."Gran" was Hope's grandmother! So why not, and bring back Shawn D, and family,…………and then you have a new beginning to such a sad one with all the departures.
- June 21, 2012 at 2:42 am(21) kaatie76 says:
If Bo and Hope leave I will not be watching dool anymore. I have watched that show since the day it started in 1965. I was a teenager and I will soon be 65 and Bo and Hope grew up with me watching them and they are still just as popular on the show as they were back then. The show would not be the same. No one can take their place. Please renew their contract and pay them what they are worth.
- June 21, 2012 at 5:24 am(22) booboo says:
He was not asking for more money,they wanted to cut his pay,
He wants to stay and I hope he will,he is still on till the end of Oct:
who ever said that JS/EJ was holding the show together LOL @@
the ratings are 1.0 LOL
- June 21, 2012 at 2:17 pm(23) Terri says:
I feel Will is being made to look like some young man who has won the lottery instead of someone who is making a bad choice (my opinion ) I
will not watch anymore,I feel the gay life style is being glorified
& that goes againest my belief as a Christian . TV shows
seem to think there is a gay person living in every home in America
this is so wrong .!! GOODBYE !!!
- June 21, 2012 at 3:00 pm(24) Rita says:
I think they need NEW writers & should leave well enough alone….unless they really don't care
because they know they are ending the show for good!!!
- June 21, 2012 at 4:26 pm(25) Marjorie says:
I feel like I gave birth to Bo. It will be so sad, but like someone said, he can always come back. I started watching DOL in the sixties when Julie was young and in love with David Banning. What a storyline that was.
- June 22, 2012 at 12:32 am(26) Leslie LaRue says:
I have watched Days of Our Lives since I was a baby thanks to my mother!! In fact my entire family from my great grandmother to my grandma to my mom and to my aunts and now to me!! I certainly hope my daughter someday finds herself watching this show!! I remember being in awwwwe over Bo when I was younger (still today in my 30′s)and wishing I was Hope! Bo you will sadly be missed!! Best wishes to your future endeavors!! We love you always and forever!

- June 22, 2012 at 10:49 am(27) Debbie says:
I have followed Bo and Hope from the beginning also. Watched with my mom as a kid. They are killing the show without Bo. They are losing Jack too and with Patch gone, there are no love stories. Jennifer is the most like Mrs. H. She and Jack should assume the role of head of the family. Bo and Hope should be there for backup. Get rid of the dead weight….Gabi, Abby, Cameron, Celeste, Ian. Bring back Stefano. Have Bo and Hope investigate as they used to and try to find something on Stefano. Without Stefano the show has lost direction. With him they can put together intrigue and keep the love stories hot. Even Kate can go since she doesn't have anything to hold on to. Sami and Lucas could be the next real love story. EJ needs to be Stefano's son.
- June 22, 2012 at 11:31 am(28) Quinny says:
Please just bring Doug & Julie home from whatever cruise they are on and let them lead the family! They have traveled enough, let them settle down now.
- June 23, 2012 at 8:38 pm(29) Mary Mac says:
If anyone had any doubts about Peter/Bo's acting ability all you have to do is watch the scene between him and Abe after Lexie died. powerful stuff. Thanks Peter for all the good years.
- June 23, 2012 at 9:07 pm(30) Andrea says:
I agree 100% with Debbie. I'll go kicking and screaming divorcing myself from Days after watching for over 30 years. R.I.P.
- June 23, 2012 at 11:03 pm(31) janine says:
If this keeps up there won't be anyone worth watching left. There needs to be classic characters added not cut. They are taking out the bones of the show and soon it will collapse. Might be a plan for the end of the show itself but I was in hopes of less newbies and more of the older cast returning as a sign of revisiting stories of the past that were left hanging. I can take characters being sent away on a temporary basis so long as they can return occasionally, as some have done recently. But the way characters are being killed off leaves me to believe that this ship is taking on water fast.
- June 24, 2012 at 12:28 pm(32) susanne says:
I have watched days's for 20 years and the only reason I watch now is because of Bo and Hope. When BBo is gone I will not watch the show anymore. Bo and Hope are so amazing together. T
- June 24, 2012 at 2:48 pm(33) LaDonna says:
It is with a heavy heart that I deleted Days from my DVR recordings. I have watched this show for 33+ years. I can't do it anymore. It truly is the same thing over and over-Why not let Days die an honorable death. Pick a date…and End The Show.
- June 25, 2012 at 1:00 am(34) Charlene says:
I hate to see Bo go. Not because I am a big fan of his but I am a fan of DOOL and It seems like more icons are leaving the show and they bring in all these kids who can not act or over act and Days expect to keep their fan base. Are you kidding me? Pay cuts, shame on you producers or who ever signs the pay checks. Have any of them taken pay cuts? Getting rid of Bo is as stupid as some of those story lines I have watched in the past. I just hope you do not bring back some washed up charater. NOW as for Terris comment on Will being gay, if you were a true christian you would not judge therefore you are a bigot who calls themself a christian.
- June 25, 2012 at 2:46 pm(35) Skeen says:
When Bo goes I'll go as well. He's earned his right to stay he is 'Days'. I've been watching since the very beginning from the sounds of it it isn't going to be 'Days' any longer.,
- June 25, 2012 at 3:46 pm(36) Marge says:
It is VERY short-sighted of the producers, etc. to let this character go when there is SO MUCH left to tell of the story of Bo and Hope along with their families.
- June 25, 2012 at 3:51 pm(37) Julie says:
I have been watching DOOL for 32 years. I agree with LaDonna. Instead of having all of the original characters leave why don't they just end the show. I think it's time. The show is a mere shell of it's former self. Very sad.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:01 pm(38) annakauai says:
Yes we could get rid of EJ & keep our favorite person Bo. Also it was sad to see Lexie go .
- June 25, 2012 at 4:05 pm(39) groundhoggirl says:
I have been watching DAYS since I was 13 years old back in February 1966. If there's one thing all long-term viewers have learned, it's actors come & go. And some when they go, end up coming back. Maybe Peter will return, maybe he won't. But no one actor makes a show and no one actor breaks a show. How many core characters that we viewers have loved over the years have left the show and the world didn't come to an end and neither did DAYS? Countless, I assure you. The problem with DAYS and its "family" of core Hortons & Bradys is the writers/PTB, have not developed the 3rd generation of both families. So if DAYS is to survive, they need to develope the 3rd generation and they need to tell stories we can believe; stop the typical soap antics such as bringing people back from the dead. As good as Joseph is (was), please, dear Father in heaven, let Stephano be most sincerely dead. You know, maybe after 47 years on the air, there just aren't anymore original story lines to be told. Wells dry up and so do creative juices. Even those of well paid writers. That being said, I hope that isn't the case because I love me some DAYS, every day. Do you know what I wish? I wish that Ken Corday, if he owns the DAYS episodes and is legally capable of doing so, would strike up a deal with Netflix and put the old episodes up for instant viewing. Gosh how I'd love to see Julie & Doug's original love story unfold!! Who wouldn't love to see Bo & Hope's love grow from the begining? Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Ms. Alfonso again, back in the 80′s when the woman didn't look like a starved, Holocaust survivor? (I know! One can view old clips on You Tube, but the quality is terrible!) Anyway….I digress and spout off like I have important thoughts to share. Sorry. Peter…..goodbye……for now. As with most DAYS stars, you'll be back I'm sure. But just in case you don't return….Thanks for all the wonderful years. I will miss you.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:08 pm(40) sue says:
As far as I am concerned Bo can retire and take Hope with him just make sure you keep John and Marlena on Days.I don tblame Peter for wanting more money , but he left once before and he better make sure that he really wants off this time.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:12 pm(41) christine says:
I also have been watching this show forever, I even have my husband hooked! Bo is and always will be my favorite. So sorry to see him go:(
Hopefully he will return someday…I see this soap going slowly down the drain,,so sad
- June 25, 2012 at 4:14 pm(42) sara says:
I can not believe that Peter Reckell's contract was not renewed. He is one of the reasons to watch the show. This is an outrage. There is still time before Oct. to come together and keep the show interesting. I am 71 years old and have been watching since Marie Horton was on trial for murder. a long, long time. My dog of 16 years is named Bo. Please rethink this decision.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:16 pm(43) Vicki in Monterey says:
ah, Peter – you will be so dearly missed – I pray that indeed, sometime in the future, we will see you back as BO. I've so enjoyed you over the years – you'll leave a huge hole in my heart and in the stories. God bless you.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:17 pm(44) Sherry B says:
I agree with Brody Caldwell…(#16) I can't stand anything about Howard Stern & Co. You know they are making the big bucks! Bo & Hope should be on Days until it ends!
- June 25, 2012 at 4:21 pm(45) Sandra Steb says:
The show has changed characters a lot since the beginning but to release the icons of the show is unacceptable to the enjoyment I have always experienced. Some actors can be replaced and can move on without much of an uproar but those that do not fit into that category should be left alone and paid what they deserve. I so hope Bo will come back soon and I don't mean a replacement. Peter Reckell is the only Bo ever for days. Enjoy your time off Bo but please come back to all of us that love you and your character so very much. If it isn't broken don't fix it writers and I see nothing broke on days as it is with the characters and actors portraying them. God bless and good luck Peter.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:21 pm(46) JB says:
Don't leave Bo.
This show is losing too many key characters
- June 25, 2012 at 4:22 pm(47) Sue says:
I'm sad to see Peter go & I wish him the best. Hopefully he'll be able to return some day. I find myself FF through most of Days now – makes me sad, but saves lots of time. I love a previous poster's idea: replay the old Days. I'd watch with the same lump in my throat that I watch old Happy Days or Little House episodes. Godspeed, Mr. Reckell.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:23 pm(48) Audrey Ross says:
Have watch days from day 1 They all need a break at times but No and Hope are the show. I will not watch if the old ones go .. They were the actors that stuck in all the years…
- June 25, 2012 at 4:23 pm(49) Michelle says:
Dee21…. You are very judgmental. Do you know Peter Reckell personally? Do you know his financial situation? I doubt it. So perhaps you shouldn't make such nasty statements about him. As a veteran of DOOL, he should not have to take a pay cut. I highly doubt that you would want to take a pay cut on your job.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:23 pm(50) Char R says:
I have watched DOOL since the very first show and will continue to watch. Yep, lots of changes over the years just as in our own lives. But, Bo is an important character. Without Bo, what happens to Hope? I hope Peter will consider.
- June 25, 2012 at 4:26 pm(51) Audrey Ross says:
Now Sammy is a great actress and EJ and I like Rate but he's not the best actor'
- June 25, 2012 at 5:07 pm(52) CAROLE says:
Bo, you need to reconsider—-your(TV) family needs you and so do fans like me who have watched since the very first show!!!
We need the show to return to where it began====FAMILY===
If indeed you do leave===Peace be with you===
- June 25, 2012 at 5:07 pm(53) maryann says:
I am glad that someone besides me thinks that Doug and Julie should be (and should have been for a long time) the "Tom and Alice" of the show. They are both very good and are fun to watch and would be perfect at getting into mischief and helping to solve everyone's problems with sage advice. Right now, the show is almost painful to watch and mostly uninteresting.
- June 25, 2012 at 5:09 pm(54) Darlin Clem says:
So sad to see Bo leave Days. I have watched from the first episode and will truly miss him. So many of the originals have left and it is a shame. He should not have to take a pay cut. Days needs better writers and good storyline. Also, it is sad to see Melanie go. She is a good little actress. Matthew Ashford was also one of my favorites and they are dropping him also. Shame! Shame! Shame! Some of the actors that should be dropped are Gabi, Chad, and Ian. They do nothing to add to the show. Well, Good Luck Peter! You are one of the greatest.
- June 25, 2012 at 5:45 pm(55) dlee says:
Peter's exit from the show will be mine, too. I have watched for so long, and Bo is my favorite all-time male character. Peter plays the part with a rugged boyishness, a gentle wit, and true charm and kindness, yet enough bravado and principle to keep the character interesting. And, oh, the romance…I tried to watch when he left the show before, but couldn't handle the stifness of Robert KKelly. So, I stopped watching then, until he came back. He and Kristian are perfect together. I really wish they would let some of the lesser characters exit again (I know Ian is on the way out, Gabi, Billie. If Jack is going, we really don't need Jen (although I would like it if they both stayed). Anyway, Peter, thank you so much for many wonderful years of a terrific character that just plain feels like family. God bless you and yours. Poor Days and us fans…
- June 25, 2012 at 6:30 pm(56) carla says:
Dee and Jane how the hell do u know it's about money were you sittng in on the meeting? NO so don't say something you know nothing about. Money isn't always the issue so stop acting like u know what the deal is when your not there sitting with them.
- June 25, 2012 at 6:44 pm(57) Farah says:
Well I wish peter all the best. I will miss him on Days terribly as Bo! I am not going to judge him for his dicision. But as a vetran actor of the show, and the one who brought Bo Brady to life, I would not have stood for a CUT in pay either…
It took me a long time to accept Robert Kelly as Bo. It just does not seem right someone else playing Bo Brady. Bo is such an itegral character on the show…Deep sigh…….
Peter I will sooo miss you and so will all your fans and your castmates!!!! How will Hope go on without her Bo????
- June 25, 2012 at 6:46 pm(58) tina says:
i have watched days for years, but the good part has been missing for a while. people can like the gays, on days.for me i would rather not have it in my home,like the other lady i am a christian, some one made a statement , she wasnt a christian, because of the statement she made about putting gays on days,it doesnt mean we arent a child of GOd.we can love the person , but we dont have to go along with their life style.if you have ever read your BIBLE, you would agree,BO WILL HATE TO SEE YOU GO. I THINK THE SHOW WILL BE DEAD . AFTER TAKING STEPHNO OFF , AND LEXY. NOW WITH YOU LEAVING,HAVE NO REASON TO WATCH,

Best of luck to him in his future endeavors.
- June 25, 2012 at 7:24 pm(61) Shirley says:
I really do believe the station and writers are trying with all their might to get rid of Days. I have been a fan since it started when I was just a young girl.I have enjoyed this soap for many years. They keep taking off the soaps and putting on junk I have no intrest in watching. Why are you doing this to so many faitful watchers???????
I am so terribly discusted with what you are doing to Days and all of us who watch. Wake up and stop this!!!!!
- June 25, 2012 at 7:28 pm(62) David says:
What is Robert Kelker-Kelly doing these days? He did a good job as Bo a few years ago! Bring back RKK!

Can't take any more of these losses! I schedule my busy day on the farm around days, and I also will stop watching. Who are the matriarchs of this show? there are none, and although I am not against gay people, I do not like the way that they seem to be pushing it on everyone. Do not plan to watch Will make out with a Dude, as that will definitely be my last image of Days of our lives. I have been watching since I was 10(due to my MOm's passion for the soap and I am now 59!!!Hate to loss this in my life. Please pay the people who keep loyal viewers watching all the money that they deserve.!!

I have watched DOOL since I was a young mother. I will be 70 in July, and I love this show. However, there are TOO many people that have been brought . I agree with some of the comments about the love of the Brady and Horton families. Bo & Hope are the characters that remind me the most of Dr. & Mrs. Horton, except younger. They love one another, and their family. I am happy that we occasionally see Maggie and Victor, and some of the others like Abe. Was very sorry to see Lexie leave, but it was done in a beautiful way. Now some of the younger group also are leaving, ie. – Melanie (who I believe is a great little actress, who I wish well). They can take Ian, Gabi, Billie and Madison out, since I don't think any of them can act! EJ can stay, since I want to see someone get him good, like he has so many others! Perhaps Will and Sonny?! I think that DOOL writer and PRODUCERS are CRAZY to let Peter Reckell go! IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT BO!! This is just what they did to Marlena and John a few years ago. It wasn't the same with out them. NBC, you should be ashamed of yourselves for letting this happen to this show!!
- June 25, 2012 at 9:13 pm(67) Connie says:

Please keep Bo, what is Hope without her Bo. Peter is one of the best on the show and will be missed. Don't you know the show will lose alot of viewers if Bo leaves, good luck Peter, thanks so much you have been great Ihave watched you for years.
- June 25, 2012 at 10:41 pm(69) dale19 says:
Sorry to hear Peter Reckell is leaving but this isn't the first time. I remember the time before when they replaced him with another actor who did ok, I thought. Surely, they won't kill off "Bo"and will replace him again. Perhaps they could even bring that first replacement back. Can't remember his name. I will miss Peter though. I also would like to say that I don't understand why they couldn't replace Lexie's character with someone else. What is Abe going to do in the show now without Lexie and no job either.
- June 25, 2012 at 10:56 pm(70) Diana Jo says:
I am sooooo tired of my favorite characters leaving the show. Bo is an integral character and should stay.
- June 26, 2012 at 7:23 am(71) Kathy says:
The powers that be need to work it out with Bo and keep him on t he show. This show needs to Evolve not lose the best of the cast.
- June 26, 2012 at 9:20 am(72) Phyllis says:
Why is it that these soap stars seem to forget the loyal fans that have been around for years in lieu of a higher paycheck? They always say how much they appreciate the fans…but this is just not true when they can turn their backs on loyal fans because of their paychecks. If they were struggling to make ends meet, that would be one thing but that is not the case. I hope they recast Bo because it is Bo — not Peter Reckell — who is the star and I would hate to see the story end between Bo and Hope.
- June 26, 2012 at 9:38 am(73) Debby says:
Guess my time with Days will be over—-will not watch anymore without Bo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so when he is gone–so am I.
- June 26, 2012 at 11:23 am(74) CAROLE says:
Is there any possibility that "Doug and Julie" could return to the show?
It would also be wonderful to have "Shawn and Belle" return with theri family!
- June 26, 2012 at 12:27 pm(75) Pat says:
I don't care if it is about money. He is one of the few actors left on there that is worth any amount. They are getting rid of too many of the good people on there. They could take Kate, Will, & EJ off & I wouldn't miss them at all. Probably even enjoy it more.
- June 26, 2012 at 1:41 pm(76) mike says:
ive been watching dool since 1978. and if peter leaves then i wont watch it anymore, he is the backbone of this soap and to treat him in this way is assinine. i hope peter does not leave but i dont blame him one bit if he does. thats like getting slapped in the face when you work that long and they take away from you what you worked your whole life for. it was great watching you as bo brady for all these years. thanks for all the memories.
- June 26, 2012 at 2:09 pm(77) sue says:
days wont be the same with out bo ,he is awsome sure will be missed why is he leaving ..?
- June 26, 2012 at 2:46 pm(78) maggie says:
Peter please don't go. I have watched since day one. tell the jerks to give you some good stories. you are important to the Bradys line and just bring back a few people from the past won't keep the show going.
- June 26, 2012 at 4:44 pm(79) Gerri Wisdom` says:
Well this is it for me. Days just isnt the same anymore and with "BO" leaving and everyone else the whole cort of the show is going. Will miss u all!!!!!!!
- June 26, 2012 at 4:50 pm(80) De says:
I think the writers should all be fired! The sets suck, the hair sucks, the make-up sucks, the storylines suck! I agree – get rid of Gabi, Melanie, Chad, Will, and the rest of the bratty teenagers and youngsters! Days hasn't had a good storyline in a LONG time….time to vamp it up a little, or they won't be around much longer!
- June 26, 2012 at 6:10 pm(81) Terry R. says:
I have watched DOOL for 55 years, I fell in love with Tom & Alice as the parents and grandparents. They were always their for the families and friends. When Tom died Mrs H. became the head of the Horton family. Then when Alice died, after so many years Bo & Hope should become the Horton & Brady families legacy. With things like it is we need to see some positive family caring. I have been married for 45 years, Believe it or not some of what Days did was to see families together on easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and wow Christmas. If you want to do something to keep us watching show us how marriage can be, real friends, folks helping each other. PLEASE DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO KEEP BO (Peter Reckell) ON DOOL. One thing I must agree with is several other folks have talked about is the GAY, I have never seen so many bed swapping folks. What has happened to Morality? People of all ages watch and assume this is real life. Just think of all the good you could do by your story line. Doug and Julie are married and play the grandparents beautifully/ Peter PLEASE DON'T LEAVE. YOU & HOPE ARE SO FANTASTIC TOGETHER.
- June 26, 2012 at 11:47 pm(82) Barb says:
It seems like Days has went to pot anyway,Should have just let them die in the explosion,Sent Stepano to prison.Hope without Bo,Jennifer without Jack,Abe without Lexie.And Melanie leaving.Her and Chad could have been another Bo and Hope,after getting Gabi out of the way.And I,FOR ONE,is NOT gonna watch 2 guys making out,So,I think Days Of Our Lives isn't long for the tube anyway! I have quit after watching it since 1960′s.Gays on soaps is not for me!
- June 27, 2012 at 2:43 pm(83) Kimberly says:
I have really mixed feelings about this- as long as they keep the Will storyline subtle and not "in your face" like it has been, I don't mind the gay storyline. Personally the Ian, Madison, Kate & Brady storyline is ridiculous and I personally dislike it intensely. Get rid of them, let it come out EJ isn't a DiMera (maybe he is a Horton or a Brady)and go back to basics-family and values not drugs, deceit and revenge.
- June 27, 2012 at 3:49 pm(84) Sug Stevens says:
Please let Chad and Mel stay together. If she is leaving get a new
Mel. Get rid of John and I forget the name of his wife. They are old and boring. The gabi character is also boring, can't act.
- June 27, 2012 at 3:50 pm(85) molly says:
Like many others, I have watched DOOL from the very beginning. I couldn't wait to come home from work to call my retired uncle who would fill me in about what happened that day. Activites on my days off always revolved around DOOL. Now I watch an episode in 15 minutes because I FF through scenes with Gabi ( they made her obnoxious), Ian (can't stand his cardboard acting), Billie, Madison, Cameron, Abby (they ruined her, too), I do like Roman but ther writers give him terrible material, Kate, Victor and Maggie together, Marlena and John (if they have a better story line), Bo and Hope (now that they're back together and normal) Sami, Lucas, Nicole, Daniel, What DOOL needs is a better writing team. The one they have now is terrible. There are too many repeated stories and the new ones aren't grabbing anyone's attention. I hate when they kill children and after they killed Zack I stopped watching for a while. I returtned as a fan, but really most days the episodes are not worth watching. How much violence can we endure? I am in total agreemnet with the fan who wants to bring back the old DOOL episodes. They were truly worth watching. I hope Bo doesn't leave. He is an asset to the show especially when he has good material to work with.
- June 28, 2012 at 12:11 am(86) Cynthia says:
I've faithfully watched Days for 36 years and have seen so many people I enjoy come and go. Can't even imagine a Days without Bo and Hope. There'll never be another Tom and Alice, but it would be so great to see strong Horton and Brady families who care about each other and the ones in their lives. Yes, life is always changing, but families don't end. I wish so much the writers would keep that in mind when writing or Days. And don't even ask me how much I hate the Gabi storyline. I'll miss you so much Mel You've been a delight Please writers, keep the basics of the show and keep Bo and Hope together. Shame on you for letting Lexi go.
- June 28, 2012 at 12:26 am(87) kimberly says:
No Bo?? my goodness how will my days survive?? i have watched this show 41 yrs.. #1 fan..

THINK WRITERS.. soaps are going all away fast.. keep your longest most faithful viewers .. only way to survive.. 41 yrs & hope to be a long more yrs..
- June 28, 2012 at 12:52 am(88) Kimberly says:

John Marlena.. then BO and Hope.. what is DAYS w/o them?? get rid of Abby, Gabby, Cameron they all suck.. pay Bo and Mel more to keep them..

Bring back Shawn and Belle!
- June 28, 2012 at 4:28 pm(90) Colleen says:
You've got to be kidding…Stephano (again) and Lexie and now Bo. What are you thinking writers. I kept waiting for a miracle to come along and save Lexie and, well, Stephano has been dead before and keeps coming back. BUT what you are doing to Bo's character is so wrong. Find a way to keep him and go back to the families that count, the Brady's and the Horton's. Bring Shawn D and Belle back too.
- June 28, 2012 at 5:14 pm(91) Judy says:
There's alot of people they should get rid of but not Bo. Gabi, Kate, just to name a few
- June 28, 2012 at 5:22 pm(92) Karen says:
I have been watching DOL for years and really used to enjoy it. Now days I watch it out of habit but don't go running to the TV to see what is going to happen. Stephano needed to move on and Roman needs to leave too, sorry but that man's acting, whew and these DOL police are like bumbling idiots. They NEVER get the bad guys other than the small time crooks. I think Rafe would be a great Chief and if the writers wanted they could make him a cop that actually catches the bad guys and kicks their butts. What is with the evil guys and girls always winning out? I like Nicole, I think she brings something to the show as she is a good girl who makes bad choices and face it girls most of us are like that. LOL…It would be great to see EJ and Sami do good things together. Bring some adventure into the show and get rid of the evil. (We have enough bad things happening in real life.) Here we are again watching someone get kidnapped. When the writers don't know what to write they seem to kidnap someone and use that for time to figure out a new story line. Why not run a contest to find good story lines from your watchers DOL and give out first, second and third prize or something? Sometimes the viewers know what's best. I'm just sayin'
- June 28, 2012 at 6:09 pm(93) Ro says:
I agree if they want to get rid of a few players send Gabi, Abby, Cameron, Chad, Billie, Kate and on and on. I have no idea why there letting go of Mathew Ashford, he is a great actor and it is just horrible. They bring him back and than give him his walking papers.
Now that the character of Bo is leaving the character of Jack is really important. I read months ago that Peter Reckell was thinking about leaving. According to what I read he wants to go back home where he grew up. He doesn't want his daughter raised in Hollywood, I can understand that, and the education here sucks.
I have been a viewer of Days since I was a teenager and started watching it with my Mom. That was 47 years ago. There have been a lot of changes but they need more love in the afternoon. I think many times it is the writers that destroy characters with there storyline.
Well heres to Bo, Carrie, Austin, Jack, Lexie they will be sadly missed.
- June 29, 2012 at 1:29 pm(94) Joycie says:
Ihave been watching since it started please don,t take Bo off. So disappointed in the way days is heading. Do not do this to many of us who have been faithful days fans.

I am saddened to hear that Bo will be leaving the show..There are so many other actors that I wouls love to say goodbye to..Kate for sure, and Gabi..Bo & Hope are the couple we have seen go through so much during his 30 years on this show..Days of Our Lives goes hand in hand with Bo & Hope. Why on earth would you be bringing back Eric Brady and Fallon..You can keep them and give us Bo..Or just fire the writers..They are killing this show..How sad after so many years..You will be missed Bo..
- July 1, 2012 at 11:31 am(97) anne D says:
I as everyone else have been a DOOL fan for over 30 years. Bo & Hope's wedding was the best wedding on television and she was the most beautiful woman i had ever seen, i kept pics of the wedding, it was a magical time back then, however, as mostly everyone has already commented, the show hasn't been the same for numerous years! We have witnessed a lot of bad acting, and sometimes it sadens me to say, a lot of bad acting from icons such as 'Joseph Mascolo', 'John Aniston'. Ladies i hate to say this, as much as it would be great to keep 'Peter' in the show, you need to understand that it is obvious that the show is loosing ratings, the producers need to get the ratings back and the only way to do this, is to introduce a new breed of actors (if thats what they call them this days) which is the 'Y' generation. I personally don't think the show has been the same since the character 'Alice Horton' died!! But you need to understand, that although we love DOOL and the characters, these actors have a life, they are not the same people (personalities) we watch day in day out, they human beings with feelings and needs and maybe 'Peter' wanted out, oh sure he may say to his fans he would love to stay, but realistically, if he wanted to really stay, he would have come to some kind of agreement with the producers. He wants out, he is 57years old and has been in this role for over 30years, maybe it has put strain on his family or relationships, can you people understand that you sound like you have no crasp on reality?
- July 1, 2012 at 11:36 am(98) anne d says:
Wether the shows survives with or without the character 'peter' portraits, it doesn't matter, it is just a show!! Ladies, you are all holding on to the past too much. I am also a huge fan of DOOL, I record it everyday, but after every episodes, "i switch off from the show", it is time that you guys realise that when the show was starting to loose credit ratings back in the early eighties the characters of 'Bo & Hope", 'Kayla & Steve' etc were introduced to attract a younger audience to build the ratings back up, the older viewers didn't like it either, just as you guys don't like the new kids on the block!
- July 1, 2012 at 11:37 am(99) anne d says:
You also have to understand that wether you accept the gay community or not, it isn't right that some of you discriminate the story lines that may attract a 'Gay' audience! Just like us the 'Hectrosexuals', they 'the 'Gay community' should have story lines to allow them to connect with in order to watch the show, thus keeping ratings up and for the show to go on! I am not 'Gay' i am a mother of 4 and 6 grand kids, but i do know that if govrnments have given the right to 'Gay' marriages, why shouldn't tv producers use story lines to satisfy that audience? If anyone is disatisfied with the story lines, why don't you guys try and do better, causeseems to me that no matter how unrealistic most of the show is, has been, we all still watch it, "Get It" to get away from reality for an hour a day, we watch it, so come on ladies, give the producers, writers and whoever is involved with this soap a little bit of credit, after all, they can't e doing that bad if the show has been screening for over 40 years, right?? It is sad to lose a great actor such as 'Peter', but life goes on, people come and go out of our lives just like the tv world, Just Accept it! Oh one last word, to those who decided to never watch DOOL again if 'Peter' leaves, I think your fooling yourselves, you will continue to watch it till the last showm and if you do stop watching, i don't think the producers will lose any sleep over it. 'Peter' you have been great to watch, good luck with your future endeavours and mostly, keep healthy! Maybe in another life we will meet, or if you areever in Australia, i'd like to invite you for dinner. Cheers Anne it
- July 2, 2012 at 10:46 am(100) Kathy says:
Once Peter leaves I will not be watching DOOL anymore! The reason the show isnt doing well is because of the terrible story lines, the new actors dont belong in Salem, and the writers are horrible! I can't get hooked on these ridiculous story lines, they are going no where. We need strong couples at Days, instead of meaningless, lack of morals, no character and or history with the show. Shame on DOOL and their sponsors for not caring about the decated people that have been watching for such a long time. Bo and Hope are the only reason I continue to watch. Days I think you put a nail in your coffin.
- July 2, 2012 at 6:27 pm(101) marcia says:
I have watched days since the first episode. Regardless of where I traveled to here and abroad I watched days or found a way to keep up, My mom watched and would send me updates when I lived in Austrailia. That said. I love Peter, He is Bo. Bo is Peter. As a young girl I hoped I would meet and marry someone like Bo. I did. When Marlena was murdered I cried, The characters were family. Yes many left but the core people Bradies and Hortens were the heart And soul of the story.Today is seems there is more sex and violance Not neccessary. Maggie and Bill broke yr heart, when bo rode off with hope in her wedding gown on the motorcycle I cheered. Where are those writters now get them back. I worked my lunch around days, now I record it. A lot of story line can be done with EJ. whos yr daddy, where.s mom .Have the writters watch the first three years of Days to get ideas for the story lines they were great back then.Full of heart, mystery, suspense, THOSE WERE THE GOOD DAYS.Bo deserves to be paid what he is worth to the show, which is evrything. Peter I hope you can work out contract stuff if not I wish you well and I will miss you. They will have to rename the show TO "IT USED TO BE THE DAYS OF THEIR LIVES." Get back to basics Listen to the fans, They keep the show on the air, Please listen to them. Sadly people never learn
- July 3, 2012 at 2:22 pm(102) Dan Wilkins says:
Peter will be missed very much. Is his character being replaced? Who will Hope have? Kristen is also a favorite. I miss Stefano already. Bo and Hope's lives (even tho it is ficitional), is almost like some in real life, with their ups and downs. Two of the best matched pair on TV. The chemistry is strong.
- July 4, 2012 at 3:12 am(103) daysfanfromdayone says:
I have to say, this is the last straw!!! I have watched this soap since the very beginning, and put up with the ridiculous storylines, horrible writers, unbelievable concoctions and pairings, none of which made any sense. Now that you have once again, brought back, then let go some of the best characters, writers, and core players of this program in the most disrespectful manner, I have had enough!!. Maybe I am just old enough, not to be amused by your horrible twists and storylines. Where do you come up with some of these things?? I was happy to see "John and Marlena", "Jack and Jennifer", Bo and Hope" all back together again. Stefano is a STAPLE of this program, and you will NEVER find anyone except Joseph Moscalo to play him. Shame on you for running him away! Also, Peter Reckell and Kristen Alfonso cannot be replaced. They are those characters.
- July 4, 2012 at 3:15 am(104) daysfanfromdayone says:
No one wants to see this long running program get rid of all your main characters and replace them with all these young ones who have very little "Days of Our Lives" history. It's disrespectful to the actors who "made" this show what it has been all these years. It's downfall is the management of this program who feels no sense of loyalty to these actors who made this program what it has always been back when it always won awards, Plus, there seems to be a revolving door in the writers arena. At one time you had some of the best writing out there with good, attention getting, funny, passionate, believable, and thought out storylines. But, no longer. It's really heart breaking to see this show go down the tubes such as All My Children. Shame on you all!!! You need to keep your "core" players, and couples, and give them something interesting to bring out their proven abilities. You have really let down your fans, and I have to say that once this "batch" of actors leave the show, it will be canceled. The least you could do, is keep them until your NBC contract is up, then see what your ratings look like. You owe your loyal fans that much!!!
- July 5, 2012 at 7:28 am(105) Nancy Alberico says:
I have been watching Days since 1983. I am willing to be I am among the majority of it's viewers. We are 40 something women who couldn't wait until 1pm every day. Heck, I used to bring my portable tv to work and insist on my break being between 1 – 2pm! I plead with the writers to bring back the glamour and romance of the 80′s. With Stefano in hiding, it's a good time to introduce one of those Bo and Hope,(New Orleans) adventures all leading up to Stefano. You can try to replace the older characters with younger ones, but your core audience is not young people. Bo and Hope should be groomed to be the next Tom and Alice. You need to find a new super couple. A girl who gets into mischief and a new cop who feels compelled to protect her. Where is the forbidden love? Where are the lavish parties? The beautiful dresses? You need to look back at when Days was winning awards and write stories like that. Stories that make us coming back for more. C'mon Ken, you remember! Bo leaving the show? Daytime suicide. Oh and by the way, love Carrie & Rafe. They have chemistry, as do Sami and Ej.

admit john and marlena ( but not much). Please stay you know they will cancel Days without you and hope you are the alice and tom of the show

We are not watching Days anymore if Bo leaves he is a staple BO & Hope ,Sami & EJ now Stefano is gone wth is going on with the new writers they are ruining DAYS and making people turn away, what happened to Victor & Maggie!!! We want the characters that we love back look what they are doing first Rafe & Nicole then Daniel and she is messing with him while pregnant with EJ's baby WTH!!!! They will keep crazy Abby and Cameron and Gabi well we all hate the direction the show is going keep getting rid of our main characters and days will be gone!!!! Why is Bo leaving and Lexi retired but they will keep the chumps, I like Will but that creepy smile he is ok but Ej will straighten him out and who is framing EJ for Stefano's death they can't get rid of EJ TOO the writer's better rethink their plans or it will not be the Days we loyal fans love and want to see!!!! WISE UP WRITERS!!! Please do not let BO leave days!!!!!!

I love EJ character! He ismy favorite & the love romancebetween hkm & Sami or Nicole either would be great… They are the new bo& hope! And find a new leading lady for Rafe he is perfect replacement for Bo tall dark handsome studmuffin, maybe a new lady cop not Carrie she has baggage with Austin- a new Salem hottie on police force! Doctor Jonas is another hottie they have to keep, but I just dont see it working out with Nicole and EJs baby.

I've watched Days for over 25 years and have never been more disgusted with the storylines as I have been recently. Bo is one of my favorite characters. He's clever, charming, romantic, and multi-faceted. He and Hope cannot be split up and Bo cannot be recast–It didn't work well before and it will fail again. I also love Stefano and the father and son storylines with EJ. EJ needs to be a Dimera again. I also loved Stefano's relationship with Kate. It gave both their characters some depth. I hate to see Mel go. She's spunky and fun and I like how her and Maggie relate to each other. I hate Gabi. She is so boring, I fast forward every scene she is in. Don't kill off Mel, please recast her. I love Sami with Lucas and EJ with Nicole and Jennifer with Daniel and Victor with Maggie. Poor Abe. I miss Lexie too. The writing lately just makes me sad. The show I rushed home to watch, is a show I now fast forward though in 15 minutes. I'm afraid if Bo leaves and if the Dimera family remains torn to shreds, I will not be coming back. I never thought that day would come
- July 20, 2012 at 5:29 pm(120) Carrie says:
I have watched DAYS for 37 years now! I will and always have been a devoted fan to the show and characters. I will NEVER forget the first scene I remember with Bo and Hope. He was riding to that church on his big bad motorcycle with Hero playing in the background. You, Peter Reckell will be sorely missed! I really hope they don't get rid of all the great actors and actresses on the show. I can understand him wanting to move on though! I, myself actually have 3 out of my 4 children named after characters on the show! Now if DAYS would just make a Cory I would be set! 3 out of my 4 children were also born when DAYS was on the TV too! Kinda ironic, my favorite show and 3 of my children born during it!

OMG…..there are so many other sub-par actors and actresses that you could get rid of in order to keep Peter on the show. You are really TRYING to push away your fan base!!!!!!!! YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wise up and ask him back!!!!
- July 27, 2012 at 5:18 pm(123) Robin L says:
Really hate to see Peter depart – - Bo is one of my favorite men on Days. I have been a loyal fan for many years and he will defintely be missed. Hopefully he will return….Days will not be the same without him :{{
- July 30, 2012 at 2:55 pm(124) Spring says:
SHAME on you who say it is about money and Peter should just be happy with what he is getting. Everyone, in any field, deserves inflation in their salary. The cost of living continues to rise, regardless of how much you have in the bank! Not to mention, he deserves a proper salary, he is a devoted and loyal actor! I will miss him and I wish him the BEST! I hope the people at DOOL realize their mistake and bring him back soon!!!
- July 30, 2012 at 3:02 pm(125) J C HASKINS says:
I have watched DOOL since the first day. I was upset at one point when Peter was replaced by a look alike who had none of his swash buckling attitude. I will miss him and hope to see him in other roles. I am older than Diedra Hall and I believe I met her and her twin when they were little in Arcade,NY when visiting their grandmother. They had little Buster Brown hair cuts. I wish I had her plastic surgeon .

Well, I will not miss Bo a bit. He was tiresome. And, with his new eye lift he can go play a leading man someplace. Yeah, right. Everyone has money problems and to suck more money out in this economy while people are hurting…Bye Bo. See you when you come crawling back.

j have watched days since the jump with my mother and have ever since i have seen days with out bo Peter, and let me tell you it's not the same not at all. Makes me sick to think of him leaving. Good luck and i hope u have a happy life you will be missed.
- July 31, 2012 at 9:24 am(129) Carli says:
Yes get rid of E.J. keep Bo!!!!!! Quit bringing back Stefano & the rest of the dead peeps & please, please give Roman a fricking storyline!! I am sure he needs a woman by now. What about when whoever decided to make him Roman when he use to be Chris. What's wrong with his forehead? Must be a bad botox deal. His forehead never moves & he and Rafe always drag their feet when they walk. OMG!!!!!!!!!
- July 31, 2012 at 10:49 am(130) May says:
I have watched the show from the beginning and I am very sad that Bo is leaving. The show will not be the same without him. What will Hope do without her Bo to keep her stable? I hope that Bo will return and not be lost forever.
- July 31, 2012 at 12:43 pm(131) TS says:
It's a bit naive to say that DOOL "owes it to its loyal fans" to listen to our demands. It's a corporation, folks, and they respond solely to money. Apparently our "old folk" demographic isn't producing enough money, so they are looking for a demographic to generate more moolah. From a "loyal fan" perspective, however, letting go of Bo is insane. He and Hope are the linch pins of the show, now that the writers have turned John and Marlena into cardboard characters with no storyline. So when Bo goes, this particular "old folk demographic" will also go. I'll miss DOOL, but I'm not so foolish as to think they'll miss me. In today's America, people don't count for much; dollars do.
- July 31, 2012 at 5:15 pm(132) L. Moore says:
I agree with Terri. The family values are waning; and glorifying homosexuality on a show such as this has really disappointed me. I too am a Christian, and can't take this or hardly any other program on television for this matter. Too bad. Good thing is, it keeps those of us who believe in our word and on prayer.
- July 31, 2012 at 7:11 pm(133) Hope says:
I have been watching this show since I was a little girl with my mom and sister. So roughly for 30 years. I have seen many come and go, but the one that is so hurtful to me and my family is Peter. We have always thought his acting is stellar and no matter who they tried to replace him with, it never worked. They all sucked in comparison. So I pray God, they do not replace him. IT WON'T WORK! Instead of cutting his pay, maybe they should get rid of some pointless people like Gabi(first and foremost,she sucks), Cameron(oh that chin), Billie( her new face scares me), Abby(boring), and sadly Jennifer(no point without Jack). Send John and Marlena away again. Lord knows they probably had to pay Deidra Hall a bank load to get her back. Watching her and John suck face like a couple of teenagers is grossing me out anyway. So see lots of other ways to cut the budget instead of cutting ties with the viewers. Wake up Writers! Actors like Peter are once in a lifetime. Should let him keep his pay and he will help you keep your ratings. He is not the whole show but he is an honorable veteran of the show that deserves the respect. Yes he is set for life but so is Deidre Hall and they ain't cutting her pay! One other thing that could help is STOP REPEATING STORY LINES!!! The love triangles and whose the baby daddy is getting old. And please for everything that is Holy, enough with Sami. She is never happy with any man and yet wants them all to herself. She doesn't know what she wants and the writers are making her look like a whore. WAKE UP WRITERS!!!!
- August 1, 2012 at 12:42 pm(134) dee says:
I am very disappointed in the fact that you are letting Bo go. Hope and Bo are two of the very reasons I have watched the show for 40 yrs. Not to see the two of them together is just not good. They are DOOL's from the get go. Please reconsider this.
- August 1, 2012 at 5:24 pm(135) Debbie says:
Peter please reconsider leaving the show I look forward to seeing you and Kristin everyday. The writers should know beyond a shadow of doubt by now that Bo and Hope are the back bone of the show. I love watching Ali too but Bo and Hope are just special to DOOL. Thank you for years of enjoyment.

I have been watching DAYS (when I can) since 1968–PLEASE don't let Bo leave!!!!!
- August 5, 2012 at 3:26 am(137) staci says:
I cannot believe that the powers that be at Days would allow such an iconic character to go!! Get rid of some of these younger characters with absolutely no story/history and get back to the core characters and their children and families! These newbies that they have brought in the last few years are taking away from the iconic characters that have made this longtime show what it is. With the exception of a couple of characters like Daniel,Melanie and Sonny who actually have ties to major characters and storylines, keep those and weed out the terrible acting and stories by Gabi, Ian, Madison, etc. Don't ask the veterans of the show to take paycuts so that you can afford to bring in these characters with bad storylines and no significant history. Bring back Belle and Shawn and Phillip if you want to appeal to younger viewers as they have ties to the veteran storylines and could have so much better potential! I dont blame Peter for standing his ground and not accepting a paycut so that you can continue to pay these newbies whose stories are not worthy of the history of this longtime show with characters that people have loved and watched grow up for many years! Please do the right thing and give the fans who have been with this show for years what they deserve!!
- August 6, 2012 at 10:15 pm(138) Sandra Streb says:
I am 63 years old and have watched Days since the beginning of Days. Bo has always been my favorite actor on the show. I don't want him to leave and my heart breaks to think of Days with no Bo. It won't be the same. I am trying not to be selfish and want him to stay because of what he adds to my life as an actor. I realize he has a life and has earned his right to do what is best for him and his family. I will miss him so much. If his leaving was a matter of money then Days should be ashamed of themselves if they can't or won't give this great actor what he needs or wants to stay. I know when he left before my viewing slacked a lot. I always hoped that he and Hope would carry on as Tom and Alice role of being the head of the family. I wish you the best Bo but am praying you return once you get the rest you need. As far as the writers go, if they keep on they will have a bunch of kids playing house which is boring. Good luck Bo I will miss you so if I continue to watch.

I f Bo leaves I do too I have been a fan for years Have laughed and cried with Bo and Hope WE love you please stay
- August 7, 2012 at 10:52 pm(140) Connie says:
I have been watching days when Peter came on the show. It won't be the same without Peter playing Brady, he will be greatly missed.
- August 8, 2012 at 12:23 pm(141) K says:
Well, if this is, in fact, due to money, it's really sad. It's been Bo and Hope for years and needs to stay that way. What are the "new writers" thinking, obviously their NOT.
All the best Peter, you will be missed.
- August 12, 2012 at 11:01 pm(142) Patricia says:
I'm about in tears!! Peter you will be missed so much! Bo is my favorite male character on Days!! I really hope you reconsider!
- August 14, 2012 at 11:46 pm(143) Debbie Clark says:
NO, NO, NO!!!!! Bo is the reason I watch days. I have watched days since before he rode into Salem on his motorcycle and he is the reason I watch today and every day in between. I love Bo Brady! The two weeks the olympics were on I felt lost. The only soap opera I watch or care to watch is Days of our Lives. But its the old school characters that keep me watching. In my opinion there will be no reason to watch if we lose Bo. IF THESE WRITERS DONT REALIZE HOW VALUABLE BO IS THEN THEY DO NOT KNOW THE SHOW. THEY MAY AS WELL GET RID OF EVERYONE AND RENAME THE SHOW AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING BRAND NEW THAT WILL FAIL. Don't they know it's us the fans from the 80′s that are faithful and devoted and keep the show going. They will realize what a mistake they have made when it is too late. With all the cancellations of other soaps lately looks like they would keep what is working and leave the show alone and keep our favorites on. I dont think I will care anymore if Bo is gone. And that saddens my heart because I have been such a fan that I have old vhs tapes from days in the 80′s that I just cant make myself get rid of beause they are of Bo and Hope. I am having a hard time thinking about this I was looking so forward to Days coming back on after the Olympics and then I read this news. I AM SO SAD ABOIT THIS. Please dont let Bo go, I am a 51 year old woman that has had a major crush since the 80′s and I don't know what I will do if I don't get to see my Bo!!!!!
- August 15, 2012 at 9:44 am(144) Marie says:
For mevDOOL is Bo and Hope. I will no longer watch. Thy just got Bope bk together. This just does not make sense. Hope just does not work with another man. What is Days doing????

- August 22, 2012 at 2:27 pm(150) Sherry says:
Bo I have watched you since you and Hope first came on the show! I love you guys! You are fantastic together! If they take you off why don't they take Hope off too. It won't be the same show without the both of you together!!!!! I wish they would bring Shawn D. and Belle and Clair back! They have been gone for 4 yrs. now and I think its time to bring them back. Bo please think about this before you go! It WON'T be the same without you!! And I don't want to see Hope with nobody but YOU!!! It's not suppose to be that way!
- August 23, 2012 at 8:14 pm(151) JJones says:
Please reconsider letting Bo go from Days. He and Hope are stable characters and I had hoped they would replace Tom and Alice. Every show needs some stable characters who choose to do the "right" thing for the most part. Please pay him what he wants and let someone else go. Let Sami go, she's so predictable I change the channel when she's in an episode. She NEVER does the right thing and it gets old. I've watched Days for about 30 years and I won't watch any more when Bo leaves. He's one of the few good guys on the show and still sexy at 57. New writers might save the show otherwise I think it's going to sink.
- August 24, 2012 at 2:34 pm(152) Linda Emond says:
I just read that we are losing Bo on Days. I am in shock and totally disappointed. I hope that it is what he wants to do and will continue to do what he wants in life.
- August 24, 2012 at 2:35 pm(153) Barbie says:
I have been watching DOOL whenever I could for many years. I am so tired of seeing favorite actors leave the show but this is really the last straw for me. If Peter leaves, I will leave too. Bo and Hope are my favorite couple and Peter cannot be replaced. Also it was ridiculous to bring the character of Jack back only to kill him off right away. Ridiculous! And why did Christie Clark have to leave? What's really crazy is that Molly finally learns how to act and now I hear Melanie is being phased out, too! I give up!

I really hate to see Bo leave the show. He and Hope have been a favorite couple on DOOL for years. Although John Black is handsome, he still hasn't mastered the art of acting. EJ seems to be the best actor on the show at this time. I could even see him going on to bigger and better things. Bo needed better scripts, and he could have handled them well.
- August 24, 2012 at 8:58 pm(156) soleowner says:
I suppose once Bo leaves "Sailorman" will come home with Belle. What a jumbled up mess that would be. What the show needs is new young writers that can comprehend the charactor and write a NEW STORYLINE!!! All these writer's like to do is re-write!! And that goes for ALL of TV and Hollywood!! Remakes remakes remakes…I'm sick of it all.
Peter, you will be missed……I still think you shoud do "The Blogo Story"

I have been watching since the beginning, Love all the new young characters, but I am old school if it ain't broke don't fix it. We need Marlena & John, Bo & Hope, Shane & Kimberly Kayla & Steve This is our days family, Keep Sammi, Rafe Ej, Nicole Abe, Brady Make everyone else a day player. Yes the Will story is wonderful Hope he finds love soon
- August 27, 2012 at 2:39 pm(158) carol smith says:
I have been watching days now for 50 years! Watching with my grandmother after school. Love this show! Love Bo and Hope! Their storyline together should be expanded. EJ can leave along with Stefano for all I care. They are more annoying then anything. Bo can't leave!! Please reconsider!! Sami is evil enough that she can stay. She is such a good actress and makes everyone's life miserable eventually.
I don't care for the new writers that much. This year was supposed to be the year of the family but so far they have torn every family apart!
Abe might as well leave now that Lexi is gone. Jen can leave now that Jack is gone. Glad to hear Chloe is coming back. I think she will probably give Nicole a run for her money with Daniel but I would like to see Dan and Nic get together and raise the baby Nic is carrying. Maybe you should let the viewers dictate how the show will go. Just sayin
- August 30, 2012 at 3:44 am(159) mary says:
Gabi, Tee and Brady need to go not Bo hes like family and even though Melanie is new she is the best actress and she is adorable Billy needs the lip police I have watched since very first show wit h Granny and Mom put up with the stupid possesion stuff and Stefano died how many times now? But getting rid of Bo is stupid i cant see Hope with anyone else and please if he must go make it a good exit I need a good cry Jacks acting was so bad I was glad hes gone or is he…..
- September 4, 2012 at 2:24 pm(160) Sky says:
I have watched the show since it started in the 60. I have always been truthful follower, but to make Will Gay. That just does not sit well with me..all the show focus on gay stuff makes me not want to watch anymore. Née all the old characters to come back Missy and her hubby bill and Susan take care of the family like Tom Horton and wife. And whatvever happen to all there kids bring them back. Keep Sami EJ TOGETHER SPICEY AND FUN
hate to see Bo go. You need to give him better parts bring there kids back and grand kids.

- September 7, 2012 at 10:14 pm(164) Evelyn says:
Well…..I have been watching from the start. Take me back please…..story lines were good then. Now they are stupid. The only two people the writers haven't had hopping from bed to bed was Tom and Alice. Bo and Hope came in to play and became our generation of Tom and Alice. And over the years they messed that up. I am sorry Peter is leaving, I hope he comes back and I HOPE the writers consider some good story lines for the crew. If they don't …well I am afraid a few years from now there won't be anymore Days of Our Lives.
- September 9, 2012 at 10:02 am(165) Pam says:
Beauregaurd not on days?..the Brady /Horton Klans are the foundation of the entire show…there is nothing more romantic than a couple growing old together and I want to see that happen for Hope and Beau. Succession planning needs a foundation and your tossing that away if you let Beau leave.

Dump EJ!! I have watched this show for 40 years and I force myself to watch it now. Cameron is just an example of the continued bad casting. New story lines would be good too. How many times can someone be kidnapped?

Reminder: This article is about Peter Reckell, not Chandler Massey (Will). I am also a Christian and I must say that I am disturbed by many of the comments on this page. You have one gay couple represented on the Days and somehow people get the idea that it is "glorifying" or "pushing a lifestyle choice" Someone also commented on not wanting to see Will kiss a dude after having watched this story for decades. Reality check: this soap depicts fornication, adultery, lying, stealing, cheating, rape and murder and obviously none of that offended your Christian sensibilities. Please get your priorities in order.

- September 26, 2012 at 5:53 pm(169) Jean says:
I have watched days for many many years and I can't believe that (Bo) Reter Reckell is leaving. I have watched his character grow from the beginning and he will be a great loss to DOOL.
To me the show was all about family and values and now it's more of a show catering to the bad guys.
To the writers, I ask that you look really hard at what is happening to the show because loyal fans such as myself will not continue to watch with this many changes especially to the characters that have been on the show for decades. You may very well lose a great fan base and end up just like the other soaps. (cancelled)
Peter, I will miss your character and wish you weren't leaving, but wish you the very best.
A Loyal Fan To You.

I am JUST learning Peter Reckell's character of Bo will soon be off the show!!! I am stunned, as it was the Bo/Hope storyline that has kept me a fan all these years!!! I've felt he's needed more material to work with lately, but very much saw Hope/Bo being the strong 'elder's eventually now (along w/ John/Marlena) now that Tom/Alice have passed away. There was so much opportunity with Bo/Hope as long time viewers (I started watching at 13 and am now 40+!) this couple seemed like old friends. I hope he'll be back full on, with wonderful storylines. If there is no Bo and Hope, I don't know if I'll really want to carry on watching to be honest. Will def look up whatever Peter goes on to next. All the best to you Peter!!!!!

Phyllis (72) Would you take a pay cut. He wasn't wanting more he just wanted what he was already making.

Love you Peter you will be missed.
- October 27, 2012 at 9:18 am(178) Pat says:
I agree with the person who said we need another Alice and Tom Horton to mentor and lead the families of Salem. Bo and Hope are the most likely candidates. I also agree that Days should go back to the family scenario. That's what made it great. I've watched since 1985 when I was recovering from disk surgery and tape it faithfully every day. As the older characters and stability of the show diminishes, I can't see me continuing to be a fan unless things change for the better, not worse by losing old favs. Don't let Bo go; let him and Caroline return. I don't mind the gay scene but do not want to see intimate gay scenes on day time TV. Was so glad whe John and Marlene returned but they haven't been given any good story line. Will they be next to GO? Better not lose them either.

It used to be a wonderful soap, full of family values, family ties, where the characters captured our hearts. I want to puke when I see that will and whats-his -name kissing!!! It is repulsive. I don't blame Bo for leaving. They'd have to triple my pay to get me to stay with those sick, demented story lines. You go, Bo….you will find something better !!!! I loved watching you over the years, but I don't blame you for leaving. This show is going down-hill. I watches "Days" for years, but I won't watch "Gays". Days is dead. Never watching it again

Here is what is up and coming on "Gays of our Lives"
Will gets pregnant. The family is so disappointed in him for getting pregnant out of wedlock. His boyfriend leaves him and hooks up with EJ.
Sammy is heartbroken to find out that Rafe is really a Colombian drug lord. Now she has to raise her little gay grandchild alone, since Will died in childbirth.
Hope and Marlena get together after John leaves Marlena for bi-sexual Kristina. Since Bo left the show, Hope went off the deep end.
The Pub turns into a gay bar, run by EJ. who bought it after there was no one left on the show to run the place. He renames it "EJ's BJ's".
So, how does all of this end?
Lucas, who never did accept his sons homosexuaity, goes insane after Wills death, goes into the gay pub.'"EJ's BJ's", with a machine gun, and opens fire, killing them all. His mother ,Kate, who runs "Countess Wiilamena", but has changed it to a cross-dressers fashion business, is so distraught, that she decides to find Sammy, hoping they could mourn together, but she finds Sammy in bed with Victor ! Kate is so upset, that she begins plotting and scheming, but there is no one left on the show to pot and scheme with so, she joins her son, Lucas, on his killing spree ! They take out their anger and revenge on the rest of the characters, except for Roman….who finally arrests them throws them in prison, and then announce the END of Gays of our Lives.
The End

I cannot believe how bigoted so many of you are. 10% of the world's population is gay! They're just now finally being represented on TV along with the rest of us. Get over yourselves!
- October 29, 2012 at 8:34 pm(189) Sara says:
Will miss Bo dearly. Had already planned to stop watching. Yes, I do know gays exist. Have several friends that are gay and they have never glorified being gay or had sex in front of me. I find it offensive for ANY couple to flaunt their sex life in front of me and at a hour when children may be in the TV area/
- October 29, 2012 at 9:56 pm(190) Dan J Frisby says:
Peter, I respect greatly the causes you affirm as a "Green Advocate"…have been watching since 1969…Wishing you & your family a wonderful "vacation"… Your character & spirit on DOOL will be missed…. Keep up the GREAT WORK YOU DO in causes close to your heart! Blessings!
- October 29, 2012 at 10:10 pm(191) Kristina says:
I have watched Days well before Bo and Hope were in the picture. It has come a long way. I am not for any sex scenes in any shows. But I have to admit I really don't like the whole Will and Sonny storyline.
- October 30, 2012 at 2:14 pm(192) Randi Carlson says:
I have been a DOOL fan since it's inception (?? 50 years ago). "Bo Brady" will defintely be missed as he made the show more down to earth. Also, DOOL writers need to do away with the gay relationship thing. I turn it off when that portion airs.
- October 30, 2012 at 6:06 pm(193) Judith says:
You people are getting too crazy over this. He left the show once before for 3 years and another time for 4 years. He rises from the dead just like the characters on the show. I also have watched the show since November 8, 1965. As for Kaatie76, I doubt that you grew up with Bo and Hope as you would have been about 36 when he first came on the show. Everything is about money and it always will be.
- October 31, 2012 at 12:01 am(194) shawn says:
Peter (Bo) you will be missed and they will eventually have to write you back in. They will see the show needs you. Take care of yourself and I hope to see you back on the show soon.

- November 2, 2012 at 2:57 pm(196) Brenda says:
I have watched days of our lives since 1968 and was really glad when they brought Bo and Hope back. Marlena, John and Roman I can live without but I was glad Jennifer, Julie and Doug came back. The story line has to bring Jennifer and Daniel back together. If it's money then why would you break up a wonderful couple who is a "wow" element on the show and a wonderful American dream? Such love and chemistry between the two is what every woman wants. I will miss Peter (Bo Brady) Reckell. Best wishes in whatever he chooses to do. AS to the cracks about his money–he's earned it. He's worth it.
- November 3, 2012 at 8:24 pm(197) Mari says:
SOOOOOOOOOO sad Bo and Caroline are leaving the show.
Peter is so awesome and Bo is so wonderful and I love him.
I've watched DOOL since the mid 80′s and Bo's always been my favorite………my heart is breaking watching his last show right now…………it's a real feeling of loss and I sure hope he does come back – I hope the writers will realize how much the viewers love Bo/Peter. Seriously!! I am so sad.
- November 4, 2012 at 7:46 pm(198) Ryan says:
Even though Peter Reckell probably does have money, that doesn't mean that he won't miss his co-workers. You try working with the same people for 30yrs., walk away & see if you don't have some sort of sorrow over a decision to leave all of them. I'm sure most of the people on DOOL have very good relationships with one another, wheather it's 30yrs. or 2yrs. you grow an affinity for people, unless you're a stone cold unfeeling rock. All of that being said I would've loved to see Kim & Shane & Kayla & Patch all come back & I despise any possibility of Jenn with Daniel & not Jack. It's almost as if the writers just take all of the older cast members & give them the axe for the younger people as if to cater to a newer generation of viewers. What they don't realize is that older viewers are much more loyal to these shows than the younger. I myself am 36 & have been watching the show since I was around 10 (thanks mom lol). Soon there won't be anymore daytime soaps around all b/c of these reality shows & talk shows on that noone gives a rat's tail about. IMHO the last thing I want to see is RL people's issues, when plenty of us have our own. I'll get off my "soap box" for now, prob. will be the one & only comment I ever leave on here. Give credit where credits due though, Peter Reckell is part of DOOL history, and yet another orig. cast member departing & leaving the door open for more unintriguing younger cast members.

sad to see u "and Bo" leave Days. it was because of Bo and Hope that i really grew to love love.
hearts and great wishes for your future.
- November 13, 2012 at 3:28 pm(200) Virginia says:
Well, isn't this just great! We lose Bo and get a cast of QUEERS in his place. With the family values he has held dear over the years{except for the crappy story line with Carly} no wonder he is leaving. So am I . I have never been so disgusted with a story line in my life, as I am with all the gay porn going on right now. So it is no longer Days of our Lives for me and all my friends.. These new writers are idiots! They need to be shot.
- November 13, 2012 at 7:35 pm(201) sally m says:
Forget about EJ…what about the horrid story line of Will and Sony! Please get rid of it. I have watched for 20 or so years and I am so sad you have to add the GAY storyline to, I guess, get people to watch. Well I think it is doing just the opposite. All My Children is off the air and they had the same story line on their show. I think the writing is on the wall for Days!
- November 14, 2012 at 9:55 pm(202) marsha says:
What about hope?? He can't be gone forever! OMG!
- November 15, 2012 at 3:04 pm(203) Pat says:
I have a fan of days every sionce i was getting ready to have my twins , and that was a long tiome ago. so to see Peter ( Bo ) leave can you make room for him . Just in case he would come back for the fans ,
- November 15, 2012 at 4:05 pm(204) Susan says:
It seems as if the writers don't know what to do with Bo and that the finance people won't meet Peter's salary request. Whatever it is WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!!!!! Really bad move,
- November 27, 2012 at 1:27 pm(205) Mary says:
I have been watching Days since the 60′s. The show w/o Bo in it will not be good and I for one have decided to stop watching it. The story lines are are the same, just the faces and the years are different. They NEED new writers. Some of the characters they have returned, i.e. Billie, do not have any story line. BRING BACK BO AND NEW WRITERS AND PLEASE STOP THE REPEATING OF STORYLINES.
- December 2, 2012 at 9:30 pm(206) DaysFan says:
Please…how many actors/actresses have left and everyone was in an uproar and so sad only to have the same characters return down the road (ie John and Marlena)? He'll be back…
- December 4, 2012 at 9:02 pm(207) Mary says:
WHY are Christians even watching this show if they think that it's unchristian for promoting the gay lifestyle? It has been promoting adultery for decades. Remember those things called the Ten Commandments? Yes, one is about adultery, not gays. What hypocrites you people are.
- December 9, 2012 at 9:23 am(208) Willa says:
I REALLY, TRULY THINK NBC should be right away give PETER HIS CONTRACT HE WANTS, PLease bring PETER back to his role.. the show is not the same not to see KRISTIAN & PETER INTERACTING AS BO& HOPE, THE ARE MAGNETIC, ON OUR SCREENS!!! IN SYNC!!
- December 17, 2012 at 12:46 pm(209) Kasper says:
OK ok….I AM a Christain and do NOT like the storyline of GAYS period! I refuse to go into the remarks of gay v's adultery. But one thing I know and basically is comman for these shows to be based on real family lives and yes adultery. BUT It's NOT normal in the real live for us to be subjected to the GAY lifestyle! It's not normal!! JUST NOT NORMAL!! If you think it is then you must have a "fairy" in your hat as well!!
As for the basic subject of Bo, I think he'll be back, just like Marlena and Stepheno in the past. Remember Stepheno is the "Phenix" and will always return! The show is an improvement when we have our OLDER cast members envilved like Maggie! She's a Doll!, Victor…oh man I will stop watching if they ever take him off! BUT DITCH the GAYS! It sickens me to watch their antics…its just downright disgusting!! You won't get an arguement from me because I rarely come here so blast away, I won't come answer.
- December 20, 2012 at 3:18 pm(210) Jane says:
When did adultery become "normal"? Normal means acceptable. The Bible hasn't changed. Adultery is still unacceptable as it has always been. In the Bible, it is actually worse than being gay. If you are a real Christian, you would never call it normal.
- December 25, 2012 at 1:51 pm(211) kim says:
I have been watching Days since I was 15 and I am now 52. Bo is the center of the show and without him it isn't a show. Please bring him back where he belongs. He is so worth it!
- January 4, 2013 at 2:56 pm(212) gloria says:
Have been a fan since day one and have enjoyed this soap because of the family ties. Really hate it when one of the family leaves home, never to return. "Old People" don't need or like change and we are your loyal fans, so don't change our "BO" and reconsider his contract.
- January 5, 2013 at 12:00 pm(213) Joann says:
I have watched Days for more years that I count but I would like to say that even though I have nothing aganist gays I really would rather not have to watch Sonny and Will making out. Also, why is it necessary to play that background music? It interfers with the dialoge for us that are hearing impaired. I will remain to watch but some things need to make a change..
- January 8, 2013 at 11:53 am(214) Rita says:
I agree. I have nothing aganst Gays either, have friends that are, but they are respectful of others and do not through it in your face. I think Days has gone in the wrong direction. I have been a fan for many years now when Sonny and Wil start kissing I turn it off.
I will miss Peter as Bo very very much. Have loved his Character since day 1. Hope the story line changes so Peter will come back. If it doese not then I may not watch it anymore.
I do not think the whole Gay thing should be thrown in our faces.
- January 11, 2013 at 4:07 pm(215) Chris says:
I have watched DOOL for 40 years, and Bo Brady made DOOL. If cuts have to be made, cut the actors with poor acting skills like Brady, John, And Nick. Actresses, Abby and Chloe.
- January 16, 2013 at 5:35 pm(216) Linda says:
I simply cannot believe that BO is gone!!!!
I have been waiting for his return and finally found out that he wasn't!
I have been watching this show since it started!
I am not happy with them getting rid of all the older characters.
I probably won't watch it anymore after all the oldies are gone.
I can't believe you are messing with our show again!!!!
Too bad…but a long time fan of DOOL will be gone if you keep separating the older characters.
- January 20, 2013 at 1:30 pm(217) Lorna says:
Say it isn't so…… Bo leaving makes me very sad but I do wish him and his family the best. I can always wish that he will come back to his family on DAYS, I'm sure it was a very difficult decision for him but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!!!!!. Getting rid of EJ and Kate would be a good start as far as I'm concerned and Gabbi too. Days really do need better writers as their story lines are very predictable now. Peter, may your new adventures be filled with love, happiness and sun shine .
- January 20, 2013 at 1:38 pm(218) Lorna says:
Say it isn't so…..I will miss Peter so much……I do wish Peter and his family nothing but the best…I am sure it was a vey difficult decision for him but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Getting rid of EJ and Kate would be a good start not to mention Gabbi. There story lines are very predictable and think that I could write them….Wish the writers could come up with something that they haven't done already a humdred times. Peter, wishing you the best and may your new adventure in life be happy, loving and full of sun shine.
- January 28, 2013 at 6:56 pm(219) DEBBIE IN KENTUCKY says:
Have been a Days fan for longer than memory will allow. Bo and Hope are a staple for this show just as John and Marlena had been. They left but returned and the return was an awesome addition. Let's all hope that the Bo character will do the same in the furure.
Sure, everyone is replaceable but we grow to love or hate each of these characters as if they were part of our family. Best to Peter Reckell and his real life family. We hope you find what you are looking for. In the meantime, know that you were valued as Bo and a return would be great. The rest of the Days team is great as well. May you all have many wonderful years left bringing Salem into our homes. Thank you and the writers for years of entertainment!!
- February 1, 2013 at 10:02 pm(220) donna in Wi says:
Yep…been watching DOOL for over 30 years myself. My oldest memory is the famous "motorcycle ride with Hope in her wedding dress !" It will never be the same… best of luck Peter. Oh yeah the story line has been sucking lately. Wondering when it will come to a sad end.
- February 3, 2013 at 3:08 pm(221) Anna says:
I hate Nick Fallon! I hated that character the last time he was on. He's such a psycho & a control freak still!!! I'm incredibly tired of EJ & Sami, for once just KEEP Sami & Rafe together, please???? I DVR DOOL every day & this is how I watch it, I fast forward through everything that BORES me. In other words, FIX IT DOOL. I CERTAINLY AM TIRED OF WATCHING GAY SCENES, the material has seriously gone downhill. Nicole is NOT my favorite, but she at least should have been able to at least have 1 healthy baby!!! What the heck?!?!
- February 13, 2013 at 9:49 am(222) Linda says:
DOOL has made a HUGE mistake about Bo. I have watched DOOL for many, many yrs and have seen characters come and go and come back again. Some of them I was hoping to never see back,. Bo and Hope have been through so much together…not always good, but they have ALWAYS found their way back to each other, as true love does. I know you need all the deception, and murder and infedelity to keep the show going, but you also need a family that stays together…like Tom and Alice did. I was hoping that they would make Bo and Hope those type of characters. Viewers need some family love …that's why Tom and Alice were such wonderful characters…they helped us realize that family is most important. and love can conquer all. There is too much, deception, lies, infedelity,and murder. Not a shing example for the audience of the teens watching now., Doing away with Bo was a HUGE mistake…HUGE!!!

Bring Bo Back!!!!
- April 2, 2013 at 2:32 pm(224) Ana D says:
Being gay is not a choice nor is it a lifestyle nor is there an agenda. I'm sorry this has become the topic of choice here. Let me throw out another topic: Cameron, being of mixed race, and his relationship with Abby. Simply ridiculous.
- April 23, 2013 at 7:12 pm(225) Debra says:
Here, in April, still wishing "Bo" will get a new contract and come back. It's hard to see "Hope" winging it without him. I can't imagine the excruciating pain it is to work without the one who gave more life to the character you play. I think it makes her job much harder….I hope we don't loose her and "Ciara" may take the limelight for a while but I don't see that lasting very long. I'd really like for "John" to wake up, "Kristen" to get the boot and "Marlena & John" 4vr be put back in the lineup as Matriarchal leading couple. Maggie & Victor don't cover it and neither does Stephano with his "mystery lady". KATE & RAFE … NOT. EJ and Sami….until she gets back with Rafe. Sent Lucas away with Stephanos' new "mystery lady". Get Stephanos' mystery answer on the coin storyline back on. Gabi would make it IF she has a REAL MAN.Gabi could ALMOST get hit by a car, Nick push her out of the way and NICK dies but it puts Gabi into labor….at the same time CHAD realizes what he's blamed on her was NOT her. LOVELIGHT in the younger ones….I think those two would make a hot couple after John & Marlena.
- April 25, 2013 at 11:01 pm(226) Terry says:
Bo, please don't go. I am an old lady and I have watched and loved you since the first day you were on days. Will you please give it some more thought and come back. The show is all about the actors from the beginning and if these actors keep leaving the show will not be worth watching. Let them get rid of Kristin and EJ.
- May 8, 2013 at 2:53 am(227) Laura says:
I have watched Days all my life. I gre up with the Hortons and Bradys. The show has had it's ups and downs as they do but through it all those two families were a constant. Now it is hardly recognizable. I got over Stephano years ago! I do believe they are making a mistake by letting characters like Bo go. He and Hope are the union of the Bardy's and Hortons and aharken back to what the show was built on. Get rid of some of usless characters like Nick and Gabbi too if they have to. I loved Melanoie and off she went. They have done this so often with the younger set and I think it is because they just do not bring the same substance to the rolls that those like Bo and Hope did back in the day. If Peter/Bo goes so will a big piece of the heart of the show. There is no Hope without Bo and after what they have done to John and Marlena I do not see them aroubd again for long. I love Jennifer and Daniel but they will never take the lead like John and Marlena and Bo and Hope. I wish you well Peter but it is a sad say for Days.
- July 20, 2013 at 8:07 pm(228) Diana says:
I miss u, Bo. The show isn't the same w/o u. Hope's future is also looking dim & her story line is so limited now. Wish I could convince Days top execs to reconsider their offer.
Best wishes in u'r future endeavors. Can't wait to see what role I'll play on GH!
- November 4, 2013 at 2:31 am(229) lisa says:
Can't believe Peter Reckell is leaving Days again. He made Bo be a rebel fun loving character and the chemistry with Hope an amazing couple. All the fun adventures they had needs to come back on this show. Now it's boring and very dull the writers are killing the show with sad boring story lines. Always loved to watch Days since the 80′s until 4 months ago where they are making the scenes so boring no adventure or family story lines like before. Peter will be missed as Bo Brady will always be a great actor the writers broke up Bo and Hope too much they needed to keep them on and new adventures to begin again now I won't be watching the show it will go downhill like the other soaps going off the air.
- November 18, 2013 at 12:14 pm(230) Judith says:
everyday I look for Bo to come back its just not the same miss him dearly I have watched show forever and truly miss him I do enjoy Sammy and EJ together
- December 27, 2013 at 2:59 pm(231) Sheally says:
I totally agree they should get back to family! I have been watching this show for over 30 years. I loved it when the families and couples stayed together. I have been worried, since many other soaps have been cancelled that the same will happen to Days. I miss Shawn and Belle too! Anyway, Bo/Peter you will be missed. I grew up with you.
- March 5, 2014 at 1:55 pm(232) Pam Armbrust says:
That just plain sucks he's going off, then they'll have Hope with that jerk of a guy
