Bo and Hope Celebrate Their Love.

If you clicked on Bo and Hope’s iconic theme song, Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack’s “Tonight I Celebrate My Love” while watching the Wednesday, June 18 episode of Days of Our Lives, we wouldn’t be mad. That’s exactly what Bope did. Before saying goodbye to Salem (for now), the soap supercouple celebrated their love by renewing their vows, taking back Fancy Face, and setting sail for adventures unknown. But there was more.

Flashback Frenzy

DAYS has been pulling out all the stops with their flashbacks. We got so many incredible glimpses of the past that honored the show’s late, great hero, John Black. Earlier this week, the powers that be rolled out more for Stephen Nichols’ 40th anniversary.

Wednesday’s episode was devoted to Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) as well as Tom and Alice, the patriarch and matriarch of the Horton family. The recreated flashbacks once again featured Young Tom (Zach Chyz) and Alice (Sydney Kathrann Smith), continuing to show how they carefully built and cultivated the Horton legacy.

Even though the actors looked incredibly young, Tom and Alice celebrated becoming grandparents to Julie and Steve. However, Alice worried about becoming an empty nester and even pondered selling the Horton house. Thankfully, that didn’t happen.

The Legendary Horton House

Hope still had a lot to tell Bo about what he missed while he was in a coma for two years. The biggest thing was the fire that burned so much of the house, but not the Christmas ornaments. Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) rebuilt and recreated it, and just like Tom and Alice intended, it is a place where the Horton family can stay whenever they want, for however long they want.

Bo marveled at how the house looked the same. And he and Hope reflected on Christmases past, spent hanging their ornaments on the iconic Horton family tree. Bo saw the hanging of his ornament as having finally made it with Hope’s family.

Bo and Hope Renew Their Vows

Bo was so grateful to be with his Fancy Face that he pulled out all the stops. He and Hope reminisced about their epic love story. Then, Bo managed to surprise Hope. Right there in the Horton living room with nothing but the two of them, some fancy clothes, and Addie’s ring, the two renewed their vows.

It’s been 40 years since Bope’s 1985 wedding. And the love between them is every bit as strong as it was back then. Here in 2025, they celebrated their love with emotional vows pledging to be together always and for the rest of the days of their lives. They told each other they never wanted to miss each other again.

Bo and Hope’s Plan

Bo informed Hope that he had taken back the Fancy Face from Shawn (Brandon Beemer), and it is now theirs to set sail and find adventure. Hope also saw it as a way to visit Ciara (Victoria Konefal), Max and Chelsea, as well as Claire and Theo in South Africa.

However, they also decided that Salem would once again be their home base, and they could basically do what Doug (the late Bill Hayes) and Julie did. There was a time when Doug and Julie would spend time away from Salem going on magnificent trips and adventures together. And then then in between, they would come back to Salem and be with their family and friends and get caught up in Salem’s drama.

We’re holding the show to this, especially since Bo and Hope decided to become partners with Steve (Stephen Nichols) in Black Patch. Salem needs its veteran characters, and so, let’s hope (pun intended) that Bope returns to Salem soon.
