It looks like Bo and Hope’s epic love story will continue on after all.
Peacock announced Monday that the Days of Our Lives spinoff Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem will return with five new episodes (airing Monday, July 11 through Friday, July 15) that will also feature the return of Days icons Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso.
Reckell and Alfonso are set to reprise their roles as fan favorites Bo and Hope — which comes as a big surprise, since Bo technically died in 2015. As you’ll recall, Bo was held captive for several years and reunited with Hope, only to die in her arms from a brain tumor he never knew he had.
Additionally, Alfonso departed Days of Our Lives in 2020 after 37 years amid a contract dispute, saying at the time, “I think that that chapter has closed, and a new one needs to be started.” The split wasn’t exactly amicable, either: Alfonso sniped that “in the last few years, Days of Our Lives is not the Days of Our Lives as I know it.”
Beyond Salem‘s new tale will span the entire globe, from Monte Carlo to Hong Kong, as beloved characters from the OG series “trade the comforts of home for an adventure of a lifetime,” per the official synopsis. Over the course of the five-episode epic, “heartwarming family reunions take a dangerous turn as a mysterious adversary wreaks havoc on their lives. The next chapter of Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem is story full of larger-than-life romance, jaw-dropping twists, and high-stakes drama — and it all connects back to a plot that long-time Days of Our Lives fans will surely remember.”
“We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with Peacock again to produce a second chapter of Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem,” executive producer Ken Corday said in a statement. “Being able to build off the storylines from Days of Our Lives to create another exciting series for the audience brings myself, the Corday Productions team, and the cast so much joy. I cannot wait for the fans to see what we have in store next!”

I have so many thoughts and questions but to get my Bo back is wonderful, even if it has to be with stupid Fancy Face.

I still love Fancy Face after all these years. I think the writing for Hope got really bad over the years but Kristian Alfonso was perfectly cast along with Peter Reckell in 1983. They were the biggest super couple outside of Luke and Laura on GH. I wonder if Bo was another one of Rolf’s resurrections or if there was something deeper to this? I hope this new miniseries will bring back other legacy characters from the 80s and 90s. I’m sure we’ll hear a lot more about this soon since it will air in July.

Well, here’s more details from Soap Opera Digest:
Peacock announced today that the streamer’s fan-favorite original series, DAYS OF OUR LIVES: BEYOND SALEM, will get another five-episode run, from July 11-15. Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell will be back in their signature roles of Hope Williams Brady and Bo Brady. Other familiar faces include Lucas Adams (Tripp), Camila Banus (Gabi), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Deidre Hall (Marlena), Remington Hoffman (Li), Drake Hogestyn (John), Victoria Konefal (Ciara), Stephen Nichols (Steve) and Robert Scott Wilson (Ben). In an epic, action-packed tale that spans the entire globe, from Monte Carlo to Hong Kong, heartwarming family reunions take a dangerous turn as a mysterious adversary wreaks havoc on their lives. The next chapter of DAYS OF OUR LIVES: BEYOND SALEM is story full of larger-than-life romance, jaw-dropping twists, and high-stakes drama — and it all connects back to a plot that longtime DAYS fans will surely remember. “We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with Peacock again to produce a second chapter of DAYS OF OUR LIVES: BEYOND SALEM,” said Executive Producer Ken Corday in a statement. “Being able to build off of the storylines from Days of our Lives to create another exciting series for the audience brings myself, the Corday Productions team, and the cast so much joy. I cannot wait for the fans to see what we have in store next!”

I wonder if Hope is on some kind of adventure and Bo is "with her" in spirit or something?
Bo's death was traumatic. If he is really alive, then he needs to be back on the main show. Or just like keep him dead. I don't know. I love Bo but I am conflicted about this.
Y'all know how much I don't like Hope so I am meh about her but Bo was my fave.

Or just like keep him dead. I don't know. I love Bo but I am conflicted about this. Y'all know how much I don't like Hope so I am meh about her but Bo was my fave. I get that. I can see them going that route too. Personally I'd be alright with him being alive, as Bo was always a favorite. So long as it's not Rolph's magic elixir. Like if his death was faked to put him witness protection; which might explain Hope's abrupt and unexplained prolonged absence, if she were finally allowed to be in the know or join him or something. I'm also okay with a little side jaunt, without him (or Hope) coming back to Days Prime. Are they likely to give either of them a story worth telling? No one gets to live happily ever after in the Salem-verse without leaving Salem; and I kind of think the ship has sailed on Bo and Hope's long term staying power as a couple. Let them be the new Doug and Julie, traveling the world and dropping in for random holidays and milestones.

I do like the idea of them being like Doug and Julie. And it would make sense as to why Hope has been away if Bo was in witness protection or something.
I do agree I hope it's not a Dr Rolf magic thing. I guess we will have to wait and see how it plays out. I am looking forward to seeing Peter on screen again.

I was truly hoping that Bo would end up being alive. He was the best leading star of Days Of Our Lives and I think that this will give Bope fans the best closure for their story as neither one of them have any desire to return to the main show again.

You don't think KA would come back? I think she was just upset they wouldn't cough up the money for her. If the price was right I think she would come back.
Do we know when Ali and Bryan are coming back? I saw Candace Cameron Bure signed a mega deal with Hallmark's rival so I can only assume Ali is going to be doing even more Hallmark projects since they lost CCB.

Peter still looks great and Kristian looks a bit healthier herself. She got way too skinny for a while several years ago. I’m looking forward to the next miniseries.

Apparently Peter is going to show up on the main show in Salem as a ghost to help Ciara...and THEN be on Beyond Salem!

I watched the interview with Peter and Kristian and heard him blurt it out. I just hope that he’s not going to be a vision or ghost in Beyond Salem II.

I am wondering based on the pic of KA, VK, and RSW from filming that Ciara and Ben go to visit Hope, and she tells them stories about adventures she had with Bo, and we see "flashbacks" of their time together. Ciara is wanting to reminisce about her dad after he came to her during her ordeal. I don't know, just speculating.
