Although raised by Shawn, it turned out that Bo was Caroline's son by a brief affair with Victor Kiriakis. That explained some of the instinctual tension between Shawn and Bo over the years. But both eventually reconciled their differences. Attractive to many ladies in Salem, this motorcycle-riding, ex-Merchant Marine, had one great love, Hope Williams, with whom he fell in love with when she was just 17. After sharing many crime-fighting adventures together, and after having a son, Shawn-Douglas, Hope was presumed dead in an avalanche in 1987.
After reconciling with that loss, Bo nearly married Dr. Carly Manning. Then he became involved with a former prostitute and drug-addict, Billie Reed. It was only after Bo and Billie wed that Hope-look-alike Gina arrived in Salem and was discovered to really be the real Hope.
Billie left town, and Bo and Hope spent about a year reestablishing their love. Just before Bo and Hope wed again, Billie came back to Salem. Hope called off the wedding, because she fears that Bo is still torn between the two major loves of his life. |
