[edit] History
Bo and Hope Brady changed the face of daytime when rebel Bo came riding into town on his motorbike in 1983 and fell for the rich and feisty Hope Williams, who he later nicknamed Fancyface.
One of the most momentous occasions in the couple's history involved the moment when Bo kidnapped Hope from her wedding to sly politician Larry Welch. Bo and Hope rode off together on Bo's motorbike, while Bo's friend Howie stood in for the bride.
Bo and Hope are also known for their adventures. From England to New York, they were no conventional couple. Bo and Hope's royal wedding on location in England was one of the most spectacular weddings on daytime television. Hope's dress cost around $35,000.
In their many years on the show, the couple has survived plenty of tragedy, including Hope's identity crisis when she was temporarily brainwashed by Stefano DiMera to think she was a princess, and Bo's struggle to find his daughter, Georgia. They are the parents of Shawn-Douglas Brady and Zach Brady. Bo Brady's daughter, Georgia, whom they believed to be stillborn, was recently found to be alive as Salem's teenage bad girl Chelsea Benson.
The supercouple's strength was tested with the loss of their youngest child, Zach, who was taken off of life support after a hit and run accident caused by Chelsea. Many fans were supportive of both the realistic storyline and Kristian Alfonso's depiction of a mother losing a child.
As a result of the accident, Hope pushed Bo away blaming him for Chelsea's actions and getting her out of legal trouble. Once Hope learned that Bo had nothing to do with the evidence against Chelsea disappearing, the two seemed to be reconnecting. However, when new evidence was found exonerating Patrick, Hope couldn't believe she allowed Bo to pit her against Patrick.
Currently, Bo and Hope's relationship is strained, but their connection is still strong and if the past is any indication, then they won't be apart for long. Hope found out she was pregnant, with what she thought was Patrick's child. The viewers know that the baby is actually Bo's and Patrick had the results changed.
