Why is this happening....there is NO WAY they can have Hope without Bo...
We don't know that. Bo was on the show when Hope was presumed dead so I think it will be interesting to see what they do with Hope now.

It did wonders for Marlena. The Marlena/Stefano scenes were pure magic.
Hope's never had another successful pairing though, Marlena has (She's had five pairings on the show, basically, three of them extremely successful, the other two ended before they really started). And Marlena's been a character on her own between her pairings. Hope has not. I hope they respect B&H enough to have her single, mourning and just trying to get through each day. And have Marlena be there for Hope the way Hope tried when John died.

Don't think RKK coming back is ever going to happen.

LOL...I also LOVED John and Kristen (and John/Izzy B) and Bo/Carly (back in the days...not now.) I guess I like these couples because I watched their whole history. I didnt watch DAYS when Marlena was with "Roman"/John the first time or when BOPE got together, so it was easier for me to accept different pairings for these characters.

I dont know what that has to do with physical features, because I never connected the woman as alike at all. I think I liked these pairings because of the story, mixed with their chemistry. I think John has the same types- damsels in distress, while Bo tends to pick plunky, stubborn, independent (I can do whatever men can do type) women. :)
Marlena was certainly not a "damsel in distress". In the early-mid 90s, Marlena saved John's life as much as he saved hers (Maison Blanche, Aremid, Paris). Yes, Stefano was obsessed with her, but it's not like she just happened on trouble and had to be saved.

I hated John/Kristen and Bo/Carly, but then I hated Kristen and Carly both. I saw John/Kristen from the start and I never got it. I knew the writers were trying to tell me Tony was this big bad evil dude taking the fair maiden from the hero, but she cheated on him - then she left him because he lied to her about one thing (yes, Tony was grey, and he did bad things that time around, but she left him because of ONE thing he did, according to the dialogue). I just didn't get it. I found Kristen to be seriously boring and fickle until she started messing about in J&M's relationship around 1995... then she just became unnecessary. Still fickle. Then she very quickly became a backstabbing bitch and J&M had enough scenes to make up for it.

With Bo/Billie, I just didn't care, and I wanted Gina to be Hope but not with Bo... until PR came back. I really didn't like RKK's Bo. I liked Billie enough at the time, but I just didn't care about them as a couple. It was well-done, don't get me wrong, but I just didn't connect with it.

So let me see if I have this right... Abe, Hope, Brady and Jennifer are all going to be some form of "widows/widowers" by the fall? Boy... Marlena's practice is going to be picking up a lot.

I really hope so. That would certainly be a bright spot.

Since Days won't take the time to do any kind of Hope grieve/recover/re-love/Bo returns story, I hope they "kill" Hope off too. The actress can stay, but give her some kind of soap opera brain trauma, or OLTL-style split personality to make her someone different. Hope already has a history of weirdness to back that kind of thing up.

I can't believe Reckell's actually leaving, though. Tweets or no tweets.

I think Hope will be used in the police SLs. Maybe she'll be Rafe's partner in solving some case. I dont think TomSell are that invested in her story...unless she plays whack-a-mole again.
I don't know if anybody noticed but during MA's interview with Diva of Dool, the subject of PR leaving was brought up. MA said that the writers wanted to take Hope in another direction. He said since soaps are a female genre it's usually the guy who gets the ax. Something like that. Anyway, it made me think (a) PR's departure isn't completely his own idea and (b) the writers were pushing to write Hope with someone else.

We pretty much know that's what they're doing with Jennifer... and Kayla.

As for all the widows and widowers, this reminds me of 2003/2004 when practically every couple in Salem was broken up by the serial killer (even Doug and Julie). And several of them moved on with ther people during that time. (Mickey and Bonnie, anyone?) IIRC, other than some initial shock value blips over a few grisly death scenes, this didn't do much to transform the ratings. MA mentioned that Tomlin knows he has to shake things up to improve the ratings. But imo these types of stunts are just more of the same and only drag the show down even further. It's like TPTB are turning themselves into pretzels to do everything they can EXCEPT write good stories.

^^^ Yeah, but who could they put her with? The only possible prospects would be Roman, Abe, Dan, Brady, Rafe or EJ. To me, the most likely out of that group would be Rafe, but I don't see that happening.

I actually see chemistry between KA and GG. The times they have worked together, they kind of gel. I could see them working closely on some case where he cant tell Sami anything and Sami getting jealous. LOL...I would LOVE to see the day where Sami gets her bitch groove on and marks the Rafester as her territory and Hope gives her the raised eyebrow. LOL..priceless. Aunt Hope...he's MINE! LOL

Didnt Jason say that they canceled the previews to add more time for an additional 30 second paid TV ad?
I don't remember but it's certainly possible! I know the middle hourglass was removed for that reason.
Seriously? that is lame. I think I would rather see the Pub sell some more Chinese then take away from those traditions. It would atleast provide some snarkworthy material in the daily threads. LOL :P

Interesting, but it's not like they were averse to giving Bo a new pairing and story when Crystal Chappell came to Salem. I'm sure that MA sees it from that perspective, but I don't think it's always the guy who gets the short end on Days. It really seems to be specific to each couple.

You're right it doesn't feel final...but if anybody was around in 1983 Bo and Hope had INSTANT chemistry and I've never seen it with anyone else. I'm just stuck in the 80's but I NEVER watched Bo with Carly...Never gonna happen...
I'm not expecting some great new romance for Hope. If the writers are actually interested in writing for her, I'm expecting her to grieve the loss of Bo, try to move on with her life, maybe find a man who helps her pick up the pieces, and depending on how Bo leaves/dies/disappears, seek vengeance against the person who took him from her. Then, just when it appears that her life is back on track and she's ready to move on -- a year, maybe two years down the road -- Bo returns.

Of course, by that point Hope's new man would be so in love with her and so afraid of losing her that he would kidnap Bo before Hope finds out he's alive (this after a dozen and a half near misses) and hold him captive in his basement... only for Bo to escape on Hope and the new guy's wedding day and come roaring into the church on his motorcycle, shocking everyone. Drama!
This story idea sounds great (but the writer's execution of it is another story..lol), my biggest issue is the selection of males on this show that they will use. Aside from the pure soapy factor of who could actually replace Bo in Hope's heart. They all suck. It's like a revolving door of suckness. Dan or Rafe. eh. no. Daniel hits on everything, heck he hit on Hope in Bo's hospital room when he came storming onto the scene in 2008 to save the day. If they decide to go in the Dan/Hope direction, I am going to start to think that Dan has a crush on Bo.

I would much prefer a whole new character for this type of story. For those saying Rafe/Hope? uh No. I never felt any type of screen presence b/w the actors. OTOH, JS/KA have enormous screen presence and I've felt that way for years. There was a lot of potential with Justin in 09 (and there was some definite undertones in Justin/Bo scenes)..but they patched up Justin/Adrienne rather fast as well in 2010. Also the way soaps move now (unfortunately), they are going to want to move her into a new relationship by New Years which means Bo will do something shitty to leave and her grieving period will be rather brief.

I always thought that KA would be perfect for playing the cougar type role, no doubt but the creativity of these writers/producers I don't have faith it will be done properly.

And these writers wanting to take Hope in another direction? Honestly it just goes to show that the creativity is really unoriginal (but what else is new). There are plenty of relationship stories for couples and even for the characters themselves to do. What happened to telling stories and development? These character were greatest when they written as individuals and developing their relationships. It's not that hard to think outside of the box instead of saying we need to break up a super couple just because.

I have to say I was adverse to pairing Bo with Carly I just could never get into that couple, they didn't have the chemistry Bo/Hope have...it's very special and hard to recreate. It's not impossible, but seriously Peter Reckell was my first big crush and I am just heart broken that he is leaving. I also find it odd that KA hasn't said too much about it. I remember seeing an interview where she said, "I'll believe it when I see it.." so I wonder if his leaving was entirely his doing?

I don't really watch anymore although this week's cliffhanger has my interest a tad bit, but this certainly isn't going to get me to tune in! It was Bo/Hope in 1983 and it should still be in 2012!

Ok I'm done...:-)
