The couple first burst onto the soap opera scene in the 1980s, and fans immediately took notice.
Of course, there were many trials and tribulations along the way.
Eventually,the duo tied the knot in an elegant royal wedding.
However, marriage proved to be hard for them as well.
Of course, one thing that Bo and Hope never faltered at was loving their children.
The duo’s kids are grown now and even have juicy storylines of their own.
The little boy was named after both of his grandfathers, Shawn Brady and Doug Williams.
It wasn’t until the early 2000s that Shawn really gained a fan following of his own.
However, that baby was swapped with that of Lexie and Abe Carver’s adoptive son.
Not long after, Bo discovered that the daughter he had fathered with his ex-wife Billie Reed had lived.
Bo and Hope welcomed the teenager into their lives.
Sadly, the unthinkable happened.
Shortly after adjusting to life with Chelsea in the family, tragedy struck.
The teen was borrowing Bo’s car on New Year’s Eve, and was distracted while driving.
Chelsea shocking hit Zack with the car, believing she’d hit a pothole and continued to drive.
Hope later found Zack and rushed him to the hospital.
He died from his injuries in one of the most heartbreaking storylines that ever aired on the soap opera.
The couple went their separate ways for a while but eventually found their way back to one another.
At one point, Ciara befriended a young man named Chase Jennings (Jonathan McClendon).
His father, Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove), eventually fell in love with Hope.
One day, Chase lost control and attacked Ciara, causing her to become withdrawn from the trauma.
However, Ciara was thrilled to see Bo when he finally returned to Salem.
Sadly, it was a short reunion as her father died from a brain tumor just weeks later.
