Members Sindacco Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 Peter and TPTB wanted to give Bo a better exit than the crappy one he got in 2012 and the deadbeat writing that followed. Aiden would have been written out regardless. The writers are setting up Hope with Rafe and they are clearly getting rid of TomSell creations (see Xander, Serena, Paige, Clyde and probably Ben).

Members DaytimeFan Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 BYE Bo. Won't miss him at all. I hope Peter Reckell saved up for retirement well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 Unless Cosgrove ran the networks and canceled the soaps, he is not "literally" a soap killer. He happened to be hired by a lot of soaps that were clearly on the way out anyway. He had first been on GL and AMC years before they were canceled - they somehow avoided cancellation at those points. The only one he joined for the first time near the end was ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 I find it really sad they are writing out Bo like this. I was hoping they would find a way to sort through things so Bo could come back. This is sort of the first omen the end is in sight. Bo is a DOOL icon, and first he is gone, then Sami is gone...they're not coming back if these ratings continue. It's all very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 The actor wanted to leave. He left three years ago, after doing a job for almost 30 years with few breaks where the work has gotten more intense and the pay has gotten smaller. He doesn't want to be on contract and came back to wrap out the story for a character he clearly loves. I don't agree with how the show chose to play this, in terms of Bo vs. Aiden, but his leaving again isn't some omen that the show is spiraling toward cancellation. Also, the reason his 2012 exit was so sloppy and indefinite is because they were holding onto the hope that he would cave and come back before they had to kill Bo off. Not saying they did it well, but Bo was "picking up Ciara" and "visiting Shawn and Belle" for months after Reckell left. It was clear they assumed he'd be back. I'm glad they aren't making the same mistake and leaving Hope and their family in limbo again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 Has PR acting been this bad? I have to say its been pretty bad since he returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StevieM Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 I don't watch the show anymore, but I didn't realize that Aiden was that bad. Is he as disastrous of a character as Daniel Jonas? The reason I ask is because people are calling him "a show killer." That seems pretty harsh. I would reserve that kind of criticism for someone like Daniel, who may well be the worst character in the history of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 The show killer name is moreso towards Daniel Cosgrove the actor and is mostly a running joke, not sure why it's being taken that serious really! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 The real question is why does he keep getting hired? He's very cute but he's not a partciularly impressive actor. Maybe he just has a good reputation in the soap community, he shows up and knows his lines I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 No hes not. The character was perfectly fine. Some thought he was a bit boring but thats only bc the show didnt give him much of a story after Hope learned his secret. He is a much better character than Jonas and FAR from the worst character in the show's history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm not a big fan but I think he's fine in the right role. I thought he was more than decent on DAYS and I thought he had chemistry with Kristian, which IMO many actors have not. It's more roles like Chris Hughes I think did not suit him. It's hard to tell because for some reason a lot of fans do take it very seriously and genuinely seem to blame him for soaps getting canceled.

Members KMan101 Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm not seeing anything different about Reckell? Maybe a tad rusty but Reckell's been shouting for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted November 11, 2015 Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 That's what all actors want to hear about their performances, "fine" and "more than decent" I just wonder why he of all people has had roles on four different soaps over the last 20 years, he's just very...there. Like I said I think it's because he's reliable and of a type, that nice everyman but he never had the right timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
