Peacock has renewed Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem for a second season, and they are bringing in the big guns. And when I say big guns, I mean the big guns. How big? Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso are reprising their roles as Bo and Hope for the limited series, which will air from July 11th through July 15th.
Alfonso departed the show in 2020 and made it sound like she would never return. I guess she should have taken a note from her co-star and Soap Opera husband, who said never say never.
The action-packed new season will follow the fan-favorite couple as they travel the globe from Monte Carlo to Hong Kong. Along the way, they will reunite with Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), John Black (Drake Hogestyn), Patch (Stephen Nichols), and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans).
Executive Producer Ken Corday said, “Being able to build off of the storylines from Days of our Lives to create another exciting series for the audience brings myself, the Corday Productions team, and the cast so much joy. I cannot wait for the fans to see what we have in store next!”
He is not the only one. I can’t wait to see Bo back on my television again because we have been missing him.
The Bold and the Beautiful is going to turn 35 on March 23rd. However, CBS couldn’t wait to give the Soap Opera its anniversary present of a two-year renewal.
“35 years ago, I would have never imagined what was in store,” said Bradley P. Bell, executive producer and head writer of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. “Since our premiere in 1987, it’s been a fantastic journey and incredible experience for all of us. We would not be here if not for the invaluable support of CBS and our millions of fans around the globe for their loyalty and support.”
Because of their global success as the #1 Daytime Drama in the World, the news comes as no surprise.

Before Ming-Na Wen played a doctor in ER, she studied law on As the World Turns. She looks the same now as she did when she was 24 in that 1988 episode.
Wen talked about her first big role to Kelly Ripa on Live with Kelly and Ryan, and what she says is so true. Soap Operas are the best training ground for actors. To hear what she said, then click here!
Richard Burgi has been playing Ashland Locke on The Young and the Restless for almost a year, but he was recently fired from the role. The actor took to Instagram to explain why.
Over Christmas break, Burgi tested positive for COVID-19. When he returned, he followed the CDC guidelines and returned to work, with two negative tests, five days after he tested positive. However, the show’s policy says that he needed to wait for ten days. Since the actor didn’t, they decided to let him go and replace him with Robert Newman, according to Soap Opera Digest.
He feels terrible about what he did. Personally, I think they should have suspended him, as compared to firing him because he didn’t know that they were not following the Center for Disease Control’s new guidelines. If anyone is at fault here, it is the CDC.
When it comes to if Burgi has any animosity towards the Soap Opera, he does not. He said,” “It bothers me mightily, but it is what it is. I respect whatever the show’s decision is. They’re doing the best they can, as we all are. I truly wish the gentleman who’s coming in to play Ashland a wonderful time. He’s going to be working with the most incredible actress and a great, great cast. It’s an amazing show, I have nothing but good memories and good wishes for it.”
He is handling the situation with class. I can’t wait to see what he does next because this should not fault him in Hollywood. It was an innocent mistake, and he made sure he was negative before returning to work.
Eric Braeden is on TikTok, and he took part in one of the social media site’s newest trends. That trend is dancing to Rod Stewart’s Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?
Do I think the 80-year-old is sexy? In a word, YES! He will always be Young and Restless no matter how old he gets.
