Gladly. Bo and Carly can have each other. I wouldn't want Hope to catch anything from Bo after he's been with the Salem Sucubus. LOL! Go Vivian! :rockon:
Well, Hope isn't exactly pure as the driven snow is she? Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's still been with more people outside her marriage than Bo has, even including this latest interlude with Carly, right? Perhaps Bo is the one who should have been worried about catching something from Hope after her little escapades. Huh? Hope has only ever been with Bo, John & Stefano (she and Bo were not married at the time and she had been programmed by Stefano as Gina - cos hello, she wouldn't have slept with them as herself) and Patrick.
Bo was with PLENTY of women during his merchant marine days...and then there was Megan, Britta, Hope, Emmy, Carly and Billie.

This may sound biased but man are the Bope fans ruthless. I mean some of these Bope fans are mean spirited and attacking Crystal Chappell personally. That's rediculous. Crystal is doing an amazing job as are Peter and Kristian.
With that said, I think the Bope fans are so upset by Carly is because for once, the opposite pairing (Bo/Carly) has a large fanbase, meaning that during the entire Billie/Bo/Hope triangle 90% of the fans wanted Bo/Hope together and Billie only had about 10% of the audience wanting her to be with Bo (this is clearly due to the fact that Bo and Billie were only a popular couple when RKK and LR played the role, Reckell never sizzled with Rinna, Allen, or Pinson). With Bo and Carly, I'm sure that they have a nice portion of the audience rooting for them and because of their popularity the Bope fans know that the writers have the chance to put Bo and Hope in opposite storylines for a while. The writers can actually explore Bo/Carly without viewer backlash.
With that said, it's okay to be a Bo/Hope or Bo/Carly fan. If you're a Bo/Hope fan you don't have to call a Bo/Carly fan deluded b/c they don't agree with you (and vice versa). The divide here is what daytime is all about. The writers are doing a great job with this triangle. Keep up the great work.
As far as these fans saying ratings are going to plunge because of Bo/Carly, look at the facts. These fans said the same thing when John and Marlena were let go and look at the ratings a year later, they're up! Bo/Carly hooking up is not going to hurt ratings. Perhaps it could help because like my mom said, it's finally something different.
Yep, you're right, it does sound biased. Good to see you taking a broad swipe at the entire Bope fanbase, because of a handful of comments from a couple of posters (and at this point, I'm not entirely sure which posts or comments you are referring to). That's like me saying all Carly fans are ruthless and mean-spirited because some people make cruel comments about Kristian's weight or are saying they hope she get's axed when her contract comes up. And just for the record, I am a Bo and Hope fan, I have never attacked Crystal personally and I am absolutely loving this current storyline. All the actors involved, Peter, Kristian, Crystal, Wally, Louise and John are doing a fantastic job.

I have a feeling this story is to push and build on CC's popularity, but it's actually awoken the dormant Kristian Alfonso fan in me. I've always liked her, but have fluctuated from loving her as a kid to her just being...there (probably due to story and Hope, at times, being boring).
I like the different opinions but I think this is more a story about Hope and not Carly. All of the Carbo stuff has been played out through Hope's perspective. The Carbo kiss wasn't about the kiss but Hope's reaction to it. The same will probably happen with the Carbo sex. According to the 2010 preview this all leads up to a new story for Hope. I agree that KA has been doing great work in this storyline as have all the players involved. One of the good things about this story is it brings in a lot of other characters such as Vivian and Victor. Even there Hope is the one trying to get info on Carly's secret through Vivian. I completely disagree. If anything, this story is more about Carly. The story is about Carly killing Lawrence, about Carly fleeing to Salem, about Vivian going after Carly, about Carly having an unknown daughter she needs to protect, about Carly falling in love with Bo again.

I just read the Canadian day ahead. Looks like the Bo and Carly sex takes place in Bope's bed. It's so disgusting! To me the writers have gone too far! Couldn't they have had them do it somewhere else like the Salem Inn? If people think Carly's getting trashed now wait till after Monday's episode. Alot of people are going to be angry. This won't be good for the show. There will be a backlash. This isn't going to sit we'll with alot of viewers. I don't see any good coming from Bo and Carly having sex especially in Bope's bed! The writers have ruined this sl now for me! They have gone too far! I hope hope burns the bed or at least the mattress when she reunites with Bo and moves back in! The writers are walking a fine line here. The ratings are sliding and they most likely will not get better if they keep writing stuff like this! Splitting up Bope was a bad move. Why pull such a stupid move if you are trying to get renewed? Having Bope breakup and cheat won't bring in ratings. It will do the opposite and we are starting to see the effects of it now. It's not right to have a guy cheat on his wife by sleeping with another wom,an in their marital bed! I don't care if Hope moved out. Bottom line is she intended to return and is still married to Bo and it is still her house and bed! Maybe the writers could have Bope burn the bed as a way of starting over? Billie broke the bed in the spare room so it's only fair Hope get's to burn the bed Carly slept with her husband in! I hate that they did this to Carly. She is no better then Billie. Bo's married. Nothing can justify what Carly or Bo did!

Huh? Hope has only ever been with Bo, John & Stefano (she and Bo were not married at the time and she had been programmed by Stefano as Gina - cos hello, she wouldn't have slept with them as herself) and Patrick. Bo was with PLENTY of women during his merchant marine days...and then there was Megan, Britta, Hope, Emmy, Carly and Billie. Obviously Bo is a sensual and sexual being. Some people are. Some are not. As a single person, Bo enjoyed his sensual and sexual side. During his marriage he did not. Obviously now, when that side of him is being denied again by Hope, he misses it. Hope obviously does not have that side, according to the "she's only been with" mantra.
Catching something? Worrying about that on a soap? That's funny.

In the meantime, lots of people are looking forward to Bo and Carly's sex. It's going to be so hot. Lots of people get that it's not real; lots of people don't have issues with hot sex, illicit sex, sexy sex. DAYS is a not a religious show nor a puritianical exercise. DAYS ratings have improved this last year. Whether they will be renewed or not, who knows. But there are facts. The supercouples not being allowed to do anything because of fans was a losing proposition. J/J, J/M and S/K vocal whining hurt their couples. BOPE fans do not rule the show. There are lots of Bo and Carly fans and they will definitely be watching. It's long past time Bo and Hope were treated like PR and KA were real actors and could interact with others and do something more than have Bo worship Hope 24/7.

Some think the Bo and Carly affair is hot, while others think it is sleezy and cheap. (I vote for Sleezy and cheap btw).

I vote for HOT. But Bo and Carly were always HOT when it was Peter and Crystal. Both characters are quite sensual and it shows. I will be watching and cheering. :hail:

Fair enough. I'm "Ruthless" and you're still "Deluded". Although I also like "smug and entitled" for Bo and Hope fans. That one makes me chuckle.
If not deluded, the how about just plain wrong? I personally don't give a flying flip about a supposedly large Bo/Carly fan base that wants Bo and Carly together. Bo and Carly can be together for all I care. They are together right now and smokin hot? -- I think not. He's a real douchebag lately and Carly is no more than "the other woman" which is never a popular role to play.
You rattle off these numbers and percentages like they are factual. Spare me please. You're pulling them out of thin air just to try to distance your gal from tired old Bo/Billie storyline.
But believe it or not I'm with you on wanting Bo with Carly -- for now. Just not for the same reasons. I will enjoy watching Bo get burned by the Salem Succubus before she moves on to her next victim.

And there are many "other women" on the soaps who have had quite a following. As well as "other men" (let's keep the sexism at bay). John was the "other man" and was quite popular. As well Marlena the other woman. Didn't hurt her at all. Shawn was the "other man" and even had his saintly mother's help to break up a marriage. He was fine. I believe Steve was the "other man" with Jack and Kay and that worked out for them.
It is after all a soap. But even in real life, the other woman is not always the bad person and the man is not always a douchebag. Sometimes people who have stayed in bad marriages for too long are willing to end it because it is the right thing to do. That's what makes for good drama....when characters are more than just the stereotypes some just can't get past, even in 2010.

Shawn was the "other man" and even had his saintly mother's help to break up a marriage. He was fine. I believe Steve was the "other man" with Jack and Kay and that worked out for them. It is after all a soap. But even in real life, the other woman is not always the bad person and the man is not always a douchebag. Sometimes people who have stayed in bad marriages for too long are willing to end it because it is the right thing to do. That's what makes for good drama....when characters are more than just the stereotypes some just can't get past, even in 2010. See that's where I don't agree. I think the fact that Bo and Hope are finally off the backburner and have been given an A storyline for the first time since 2006 that that is what gets fans watching again. Not Bo and Carly getting together, but the real story of Bo and Hope going through this in their relationship. That's why you see Hope find out almost immediately after the affair. Look at objectively. Bo has had far more scenes and dialog with Hope than with Carly. His scenes with Carly are filled with flashbacks because they dont' have much else going on right now. This is not a Bo moving on and building a wonderful life with Carly story. It's a Bo and Hope breaking up and finding their way back together story.
Trust me, it doesn't matter how much noise fanbases make - TPTB write what they want and very rarely bow to fan pressure. I do agree that they love all of this. It's about freakin time they used the vets instead of keeping them on the sidelines.

Funny you should mention "the right thing to do". I always thought that "the right thing to do" in that scenario was to end the marriage FIRST, the go screw your rebound girlfriend - especially if their is a young child in the equation. I don't think what Bo and Carly are (about to) do would be consider "the right thing to do" by anyone other than someone who incorrectly rationalizes cheating as a solution to a problem.

I don't think what Bo and Carly are (about to) do would be consider "the right thing to do" by anyone other than someone who incorrectly rationalizes cheating as a solution to a problem. Well, even in the real world, things are not as simplistic as some would like. For some people the marriage ends when one person continually leaves and separates from their spouse. Separation, the one like Hope put in place, is what hurts the children. That's the real thing to them, not some piece of paper.
Waiting to have sex doesn't change what is going on. When the parents are apart they are apart. Whether or not they are having other sexual relationship is moot to a very young child because they don't know that. To them a relationship is not sexual unless a parent chooses to bring that info to them. Ciara knows her parents are apart. That is what hurts her and has hurt her. And Bo's feelings for Carly had absolutely nothing to do with Bo and Hope's separation.
A piece of paper will not cure the hurt caused by a mother taking a child away from her loving father. And we know who decided on the separation. It was not Bo. So call him names if it makes you feel justified. But the truth is what it is. Hope left Bo. Period. End of story. And no matter what he did, long before Carly came to town, Hope kept the family apart. All the spin and righteous holier-than-thou indignation won't change the facts.
Judge until h*ll freezes over. Doesn't bother me especially when it is about a pretend couple. Judge to your heart's content. Thankfully I don't live my life according to your standards. And don't have to.

OMG, did you actually just admit this? So let me get this straight. Either Bo was a loyal, loving caring husband and father and is only moving on because his evil wife Hope left the house and separated, or as you just said Bo's feelings for Carly have absolutely nothing to do with Bo and Hope's separation? Bo is just cheating - he would be cheating regardless of Hope leaving or not. Right?
You realize you just contradicted the only mantra Bo fans have been pushing since this storyline started. :laugh:

As for Bo.....yup, I admit it. Bo's feelings for Carly had nothing to do with Bo and Hope's separation, contrary to the Hope worshipper's insistence that Carly caused everything. However, here is the part those on a their moralistic high horse don't quite get: having feelings and acting on them are two different things.
Bo's feelings for Carly were love. He LOVED her. Hope was dead. Bo, contrary to what Hope and her ilk wanted, did not stop living. He moved on, fell deeply in love. Those feelings were obviously buried over the years. Seeing her ignited a passion buried in Bo. It's good to see. Brow beaten by a someone who always sees the worst in you was not a good thing for Bo. His fans are thrilled to see passionate, sexy Bo again. Now Bo can act on his feelings. Hope acted on her feelings. She deserted her husband; left him; took their kid; hired a lawyer. Bo gets it. Of course, now that Hope has lost control of Bo, she wants him back. Too bad, so sad. Three times abandoning a spouse must be the charm.
But enjoy yourself. Enjoy your pedestal. I am sure judging others gives you as much pleasure as it gives Hope.

I just read the Canadian day ahead. Looks like the Bo and Carly sex takes place in Bope's bed. It's so disgusting! To me the writers have gone too far! Couldn't they have had them do it somewhere else like the Salem Inn? If people think Carly's getting trashed now wait till after Monday's episode. Alot of people are going to be angry. This won't be good for the show. There will be a backlash. This isn't going to sit we'll with alot of viewers. I don't see any good coming from Bo and Carly having sex especially in Bope's bed! The writers have ruined this sl now for me! They have gone too far! I hope hope burns the bed or at least the mattress when she reunites with Bo and moves back in! The writers are walking a fine line here. The ratings are sliding and they most likely will not get better if they keep writing stuff like this! Splitting up Bope was a bad move. Why pull such a stupid move if you are trying to get renewed? Having Bope breakup and cheat won't bring in ratings. It will do the opposite and we are starting to see the effects of it now. It's not right to have a guy cheat on his wife by sleeping with another wom,an in their marital bed! I don't care if Hope moved out. Bottom line is she intended to return and is still married to Bo and it is still her house and bed! Maybe the writers could have Bope burn the bed as a way of starting over? Billie broke the bed in the spare room so it's only fair Hope get's to burn the bed Carly slept with her husband in! I hate that they did this to Carly. She is no better then Billie. Bo's married. Nothing can justify what Carly or Bo did! There not in Bo's house, they are in Carly's hotel room.

There not in Bo's house, they are in Carly's hotel room. Too bad. The "Bope burn the bed" idea was potentially campy fun if executed properly.
