on an actor’s comings and goings, it is pretty evident, to me at least, that Peter Reckell is leaving. I have been following updates on this, and it has just been tweeted that Peter’s last taping date will be ‘circa end of July’, putting him on the show through all of summer and the fall. I’m looking for his departure during November sweeps. No news yet on his exit story though, and surely he will have one.
I’m splitting hairs but the quote said he is leaiving "Salem," not "Days." Maybe his character is going away for awhile, giving Peter an extended vacation. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part.
He has confirmed it on his twitter account now, also, expressing his thanks to the fans, but Bo is leaving Days of Our Lives. Of course, we know the door will remain open, but I don’t see him walking back in; not at the pay-cut they want him to take. I’m thinking he will be the one who shot Stefano and will go to prison, since I don’t think he will be killed off.

On Twitter, Peter Reckell (Bo) has posted this message for his fans: “‘Days of Our Lives’ has been my home, my life, for almost 30 years. Bo is a character that developed From my soul, and has touched many lives, but none more than my own. I took my place in the hierarchy of the show, in the storyline, moving others aside, in the 80s. Now others have moved into the place I once held. I have been very fortunate to have had such a long, meaningful, run. But now, with a torn heart, I have to say goodbye to the people, family, the character, that I love. You have to know this has not been easy. I do not want to give up Bo, and with luck, in the future, will be able to return to the character that I fought so hard to preserve. Thank you for being the most supportive, forgiving, loyal viewers there are. You have given me strength in difficult times. You are the reason ‘DOOL’ is still standing and will continue for years to come. Thank you for all you have given me and the character I love!”
wouldn’t have opted to raise Peter Reckell’s salary, instead of cutting it 45%, given his long-term tenure and the status of his character on the show. I, too, can’t imagine Hope without Bo, and I hope they don’t make him Stefano’s killer. He deserves to go out with a lot of dignity and honor.

won’t be around to help either. You are correct…Hope w/out Bo? Just not happening. Guess the show will have a replacement Bo in the wings again. Either that – perhaps JB will hook up with her yet again (in spite of his forever love for Marlena [but I think since Eileen is returning she will be in the mix with that one] – you know how the writers hate a happy couple).
Can’t think of anyone else the show would pair up Hope with. Abe? – (too soon for Lex’s passing), Daniel ? – (little male slutter that he is – heh, he’s Katie and Sami in un-drag – they are never without a man). EJ? (nahhhh, "never" ), or perhaps Roman? – ewwww brother???? There aren’t that many men I could think of on the show that would be "fairly" age appropriate for Hope. I don’t want to have to get use to yet another new character that "is immediate" bells and whistles for Hope. And you know the writers won’t let her be alone for very long. So I think it will be a "cloned" Bo yet again.
I said long ago that if they let John and Marlena go, I would not watch until they were back on screen. And I have not watched since they left. I know they are back, but I just never picked it back up again, and I just don’t miss it. If I HAD started watching again, I would have quit when Bo leaves! Bo and Hope have been my all time faves, followed by John and Marlena. I havent been on here in ‘forever’ just thought I would visit tonight for some reason!
Quote from Peter on SOD "I do not want to give up Bo, and with luck, in the future, will be able to return to the character that I fought so hard to preserve"…I fully expect him to return and Lexie (if only like Brady’s Mom did), and perhaps an occasional Stefano too…(only he wouldn’t have wings and a halo)…LOL!
