BO BRADY (Peter Reckell)




Bo was raised by Caroline and Shawn Brady, But Bo's biological father is Victor Kiriakis. Throughout the years of his childhood, Bo and Shawn fought constantly. But eventually they both built a happy relationship. When Bo found out that Victor Kiriakis was his natural father he was not happy. Meanwhile, Bo tried to build a relationship with his natural father Victor, but it always had its ups and downs.


Bo was also a motorcycle rider and an ex-Merchant Marine who was often chased by the lovely ladies of Salem. But this bad boy only had eyes for one uptown-girl, Hope Williams. They fell in love when Hope was just 17 years old, Bo and Hope got married and had one child, Shawn-Douglas, They sailed around the world on their boat called "Fancy Face," shortly after his birth. Years later Hope was caught in a massive explosion in 1987 and she was presumed dead.


Shattered by the loss of his wife, Bo returned home to Salem and was comforted by his friends and family. Bo fell in love with young Billie Reed and eventually got married. Billie was a recovering drug addict and prostitute. It wasn't too soon after the wedding that "Gina" arrived in Salem and later revealed that she was, in fact, Hope Williams. She started to win back Bo's love, Billie left for Europe and their marriage was declared illegal. But Bo and Billie were then forced to remarry. They consummated their marriage and Billie became pregnant with baby Georgia, who unfortunately died at birth.


Hope and Bo were reunited back in Salem. When Hope revealed that she was pregnant, Bo was overjoyed even though he thought that the baby was not his. When Hope gave birth, Stefano had the baby switched with Rolf's drunken niece, Marlo’s baby. Lexie and Abe adopted Marlo's baby (switched with Hope's), Isaac, Bo and Hope raised JT, who suffers from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Meanwhile, the paternity of Hope's baby remained still in question. Both John and Stefano both felt that they were the father. But when John returned to Salem, Hope confessed to Bo that he was not the baby's father but she neglected to tell him the truth about John. Despite her confession, their love was stronger than ever and they planned another wedding.


On Christmas Eve, Bo and Hope exchanged vows in front of friends and family in a picture perfect ceremony and they were finally reunited with the real baby, Zack.
