“Not having a storyline, not being able to do anything artistic there was my issue … Bo returned home after being held prisoner by the DiMera family.
Soon after his emotional reunion with his loved ones, Bo was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
His time was limited andhe eventually died in Hope’s arms.

It was then that fans believed they had seen the last of Bo.
Now, Reckell is back on the flagship series, and fans couldn’t be happier about it.
Of course, Reckell and Alfonso won’t be staying on the sudser permanently.

“It was crazy.
DAYS fans have always been very vocal.
It surprised me so much.
To be gone for eight years or so and come back and have that response?
It just floored me,” Reckell toldSoap Opera Digest.
“Then I think about it and go, ‘I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
It’s the DAYS OF OUR LIVES audience.'”
Until then, viewers will be counting down the days until Bo and Hope are back in Salem again.
