If there’s anything that daytime television fans have learned over the years, it’s that you are never really gone, even if the writers of the soap keep trying to put you in the afterlife. And if there’s anyone who knows that all too well, it’s actor Peter Reckell, who plays Bo on Days of Our Lives. The actor recently hinted that his character might be sticking around for a little longer than expected in this fictional town of Salem. Here’s what you need to know.
Days of Our Lives Star Peter Reckell Hints Bo Might Be Sticking Around
In a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, Peter said that when he was asked to come back to reprise his role as Bo on Beyond Salem 2, he has no idea what the storyline would entail. He said, “It’s so strange. They say, ‘We have to wait until it airs and see what the response is,’ ” he relays. “They’ve done that every time. So everything was kind of up in the air.” But Reckell was definitely open to another story arc as Bo. “It’s perfect for my lifestyle right now,” he explains. “I get to go down, play, and then come back to my life. It’s kind of fun going back and seeing everybody. I just love the people there.”
Peter also admitted that he felt pretty nervous coming back to the soap. He said, “It did take me a minute, but the environment was the same. You just had to do things a little bit quicker. You had to come in really prepared, because it’s one go through and then you’re taping it. That was a little bit more intense. But as far as the whole process … props, cameramen, everybody was just so happy to see me, and I was happy to see them and catch up. So it was a pretty positive environment and circumstance.”
