On May 3 in soap history, fan-favorite Peter Reckell made his debut as Bo Brady on Days of Our Lives back in 1983.
Reckell originated the role on May 3, 1983, and played the role from 1983 – 1987, 1990 – 1992, 1995 – 2012 and made a brief return for the shows anniversary in the fall of 2015 when the character was killed off.
According to Days’ soap records, Bo was born on November 5, 1962. He is the only son of Caroline Brady (Peggy McCay) and Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston). He was raised, however, as Caroline and Shawn Brady’s (ex-Frank Parker) son until his major paternity bombshell reveal in 1985. Bo met the woman of his dreams, Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) and married her in 1983.
Throughout his tenure in Salem, he has been paired with a number of women including Carly Manning (ex-Crystal Chappell), Hope Brady and Billie Reed (ex-Lisa Rinna and Julie Pinson). He is the father of Shawn-Douglas Brady (ex-Brandon Beemer), Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal), Chelsea Brady (ex-Rachel Melvin) and deceased Zack Brady. Bo was an integral employee of the Salem Police Department.
Fans, of course, are craving his full-time return to the show despite his recent run on the Peacock drama. Watch the video below of Bo’s first time Bo meeting Hope!
