Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) just returned to the screen and faced the tough news of Doug Williams’ (Bill Hayes) passing, which will pave the way for her Salem comeback.
Since there were some scheduling issues when it came time to film Alfonso’s stint, Days had to come up with a way to keep her out of town a little longer than everyone else.
Now that Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) has moved a finger and shown signs of waking up, it’s easy to see what’ll cause Hope’s delay!
Nevertheless, Hope is on the verge of a Salem comeback and will reunite with plenty of familiar faces soon.
In a new interview with SOD, Kristian Alfonso admitted she’s always nervous when she returns, but she enjoyed catching up with old castmates.
Of course, Alfonso also appreciated the fact that Days asked her to be part of Bill Hayes’ touching tribute episodes, which DOOL fans may want to break out the tissue boxes for.
The show has more emotional scenes in store as Doug gets his official exit story.
However, Alfonso also commented on a different storyline that sadly bever transpired – one involving Bo and all their loved ones in Salem.
It’s something that Alfonso still thinks about and clearly hates that she wasn’t able to play.
“The story that was going to be told was that Hope would return to Salem, Bo and Hope would return to Salem to reunite — even after the shooting, he would be fine, and all these good things were going to happen and we would reunite with our families,” Alfonso said.
Alas, that’s not how it went down since things changed behind the scenes and Bo was ultimately kept in a long-term coma.
The decision affected Kristian Alfonso deeply since Hope never had a chance to have more scenes with Doug and Julie as a family.
“I will never get over that I didn’t get the opportunity [to play that] … So that, I am very sad about,” Alfonso stated.
On the bright side, our Days predictions point to Hope getting positive updates on Bo’s progress.
Bo’s coma awakening is indeed in the works, so there’s still something to look forward to.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say better times are ahead in Salem, but Doug’s farewell will bring some difficult moments until then.
