What makes Peter Reckell’s recent return to Days of Our Lives different is that his character, Bo, was no longer in a coma or believed to be dead. He was alive and well and traveling the world with his wife, Hope. Before Bo fully returned to the land of the living, he met his late son, Zack, who told him to return when his time had finally come. Reckell opened up about what he thought of the young actors Bo got to connect with.

He Had High Praise for New Co-stars

Reckell, who’s been open about wanting to return full-time to the show, spoke with Soap Opera Digest, which noted that when Bo and Ciara finally reconnected, he got to share scenes for the first time with Victoria Konefal. He also got to act opposite Days newcomer, Brandon Butler, who played Zack. Reckell remarked, “The casting people are bringing these awesome actors in.

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Deidre Hall, who plays Marlena Evans, recently discussed on the new podcast, “Soapy,” why she almost turned down her iconic role.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Marlena And John’s Epic Romance Was Four Decades Long

The podcast is hosted by Greg Rikaart, who plays Leo Stark on Days of Our Lives, and Rebecca Budig, who plays Taylor Hayes on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Can anyone even imagine Days without Marlena? We didn’t think so. Marlena was the first character on Days who was possessed by the devil.

Life imitated art when Hall had a storyline in which her real-life twin sister, Andrea Hall, played Marlena’s twin sister, Samantha Evans, in 1977.

Samantha was murdered in 1982 when the Salem Strangler mistakenly killed Samantha, believing she was Marlena.

Andrea later returned to the soap to play Hattie Adams, a woman who resembled...

Days of Our Lives Spoilers reveal that Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is not sleeping well because of everything that has happened in her life recently.

Marlena has seemed to be sick lately and has even asked Sarah Horton (Lindsey Godfrey) to run some test on her. However, it seems that Marlena is reverting back to some of her old issues.

The Queen Of The Night Returns

Marlena has been through a great deal of trauma over the years, a lot of it caused by Stefano Dimera (Joe Mascolo). Stefano has always wanted Marlena has his own.

Of course, Marlena had John Black (Drake Hogestyn) who was there to save her from Stefano and even from the devil every time.

Unfortunately, John is no longer there as he gave his life to save the drug that would give Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) his life back. John knew that he was risking his life,...

After a bit of lurking, Gwen reentered the world of Salem at the end of the Monday, July 7 episode of Days of our Lives. And boy, did she know how to make an entrance. In other news, Xander and Sarah were able to carry on a civil conversation until they couldn’t. As a result, the tension between them has escalated. At this point, joint custody of Victoria may not be an option.

The Big Return

Earlier in the episode, Hope (off-screen) told Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) that Alice’s necklace would be in her possession the next day. So Julie wasn’t prepared when Gwen (Emily O’Brien) suddenly walked into her house sporting the priceless necklace that had been missing in action for months. So, does this mean that Gwen was the one who bought it after Melinda (Tina Huang) unloaded it? She does have the money now, right?...

Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates tease in a new summer-and- fall preview video that Stefano Dimera (previously Joseph Mascolo) may not be the only Dimera resurrection on the NBC Peacock soap.

The real Tony Dimera (Thaao Penghlis) may have just arrived in Salem, but might the “Tony” seen at the end of the video talking to “father” really be Andre Dimera (Thaao Penghlis)?

Stefano Alive-Again?

Dool fans should remember the last time “Stefano” came back to life, with a brain chip of Stefano’s “essence” in Steve Johnson’s (Stephen Nichols) body.

“Steveano” came to an end when Anna Dimera (Leann Hunley) spiked him in the eye with a spike heel, and his brain chip was removed.

Tony himself and Chad Dimera (Billy Flynn) destroyed the brain chip, which apparently had Stefano’s “essence” programmed into it by artificial intelligence.

There’s a lot to unpack in the Wednesday, July 2 episode of Days of Our Lives. Sophia — she did it. She gave birth alone while her family was out for dinner and a movie. She had to act quickly and took it upon herself to make a drastic next step. Meanwhile, a uniformed Javi started work at the fire station. Doug did his best to distance himself from Holly while also getting quite the dressing down from Julie, who received good news. Plus, Sarah contemplated divorce while Holly and Tate reunited.

The Delivery

It’s still hard to believe that Sophia (Rachel Boyd) gave birth to a baby boy alone. The teen looked appropriately devastated physically and emotionally, however.

Hope Brady’s Rekindled Romance

Ever since Bo got the miracle sepsis cure, he has woken up and is ready to live once again. Even though he was warned to stay in the hospital, the man just couldn’t do that. Bo went back to Salem immediately to pay his respects to John Black (Drake Hogestyn).

The fan-favorite character also felt it was important to be there for Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), especially since John lost his life so Bo could live.

Although it seemed as if Steve (Stephen Nichols) was retiring from private investigation after John’s death on Days of Our Lives, there has been a reprieve.

Steve “Patch” Johnson is a fan-favorite character on Days of Our Lives. The hero who recently mourned the loss of his best friend John Black wasn’t always the do-gooder that he is now. In fact, his origins are far more sinister than most fans remember. At the time, he worked for Victor Kiriakis, but eventually turned things around and became a beloved good guy. However, Stephen Nichols recently revealed that there’s an unknown, darker depth to Steve’s origins.

They Asked for a Backstory

Starting on Days in 1985, Nichols is currently celebrating 40 years as Steve. He spoke to Soaps.com about it, discussing the evolution of Steve from a bad guy to a beloved family man. The character had originally been in the merchant marines, where he met Bo (Peter Reckell). As the story goes, he and Bo fought over a woman, and that’s how Steve lost his eye.

In the Monday, June 16 episode of Days of Our Lives, Philip woke up and he told Jada that it wasn’t Xander who gave him the beatdown. And while the Johnson/Deveraux families were grieving John, they also had reason to celebrate and reflect.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Stephen Nichols Adrienne’s Message

Unfortunately, Adrienne (loved seeing Judi Evans return as her Og character) wasn’t one of those back-from-the-dead miracles that always happen in Salem. Instead, she tells Steve (Stephen Nichols) that she’s with John (the late Drake Hogestyn) and she’s going to do her best to take care of him. This news comforted her brother.

Later, Steve had a crazy good flashback of the time Adrienne revealed to Steve that she was his sister. The Johnson family history is complicated, brutal, and dramatic, so seeing that particular flashback was wonderful. It was such a long time ago!

John Black (Drake Hogestyn) was a central figure in storylines for many years on Days Of Our Lives. Therefore, it is only appropriate that the soap has dedicated the past month to leading up to his demise after Drake Hogestyn, who portrayed John since 1986, passed away in September 2024.

Since recasting the role was not a viable option, the soap opera chose, with Drake Hogestyn’s consent, to eliminate the character; John Black met his end as a hero.

Timeline

1983: After spending months exchanging flirtatious glances and banter with Bo (Peter Reckell), Hope (Kristian Alfonso) finally invited him to accompany her to her 18th birthday celebration, and he agreed. The evening turned romantic as they shared a slow dance to “Tonight I Celebrate My Love for You.” However, things took a turn when Hope brushed off Bo’s heartfelt present—a vintage poetry book.

John’s death on Days of our Lives — and the death of his beloved portrayer, Drake Hogestyn — are very, very sad. But John’s funeral and wake were oh, so very, very good. And one of the best parts was that they didn’t skimp on the flashbacks.
