Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) could return for Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) after he faces some Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) heartbreak. Will Kristian Alfonso make a Salem comeback?
DOOL fans have probably heard by now that Alfonso will appear in Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem, which will air its second installment on Peacock this July.
Peter Reckell will be reprising the role of Bo Brady as well, but that could be in spirit form since that’s how he appeared on the main show.
Of course, this is a soap where anything’s possible, so no one can rule out some twist rewrite where Bo somehow comes back from the dead.
However, it’d be much easier to just have Bo’s spirit reunite with Hope and catch up with her for a while.
Bo and Hope could still have some romantic moments, but perhaps Bo will have to make a heavenly return in the end.
That could leave Hope single if she ever decides to make a full-time return on the main show.
Other Beyond Salem stars have gone on to play longer stints on Days, so this could be a great way to set up Hope’s eventual comeback.
That’d be excellent news for Rafe since he’s on the verge of battling a broken heart.
Rafe and Nicole’s romance is doomed since she’s still in love with Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan).
Despite a speedy engagement, Nicole and Rafe just aren’t meant to last.
Rafe already tried a romance with Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun), but that ended in disaster.
Who will Rafe end up with once Nicole reunites with Eric? Maybe it’s time to give Rafe a reunion of his own and put Hope back on canvas.
Part of Rafe has always pined for Hope since they both wanted to give their relationship another chance, but the stars never aligned for it.
If we can just get Rafe and Hope in Salem at the same time again, a romantic reunion would indeed be possible.
Rafe’s going to need a new love interest once he moves on from Nicole, so could Kristian Alfonso return as Hope Brady?
If so, it could lead to another chapter for Hope and Rafe.
