Others have theorized that she'll shoot him and he'll be in a coma, but why couldn't he recover at University Hospital under the care of his sister and nephew? 

I wonder if Ciara's pregnancy will play into the reason that they can't return.

Or, maybe it's just about the housing shortage in Salem leaving them nowhere to live...

I think there are a few ways to keep them offscreen and health/family issues seem the easiest.  I think this is just a way to keep Bo/Hope out there in the world and they can appear when they want to.  Traveling is pretty consistent with Bo/Hope's MO.  They can get another Fancy Face (7? 8?) and sail around the world.  It is in character. 

Technically Hope has a house in Salem.  Belle/Shawn live in it, but it belongs to Hope.

It would be logical if Ben & Ciara decide to stay landlocked with two infants and Bo&Hope take over the boat.

What did you think of the Stephanie & Chad scene today?  Surprisingly I think he's the weaker link.  She's charming and has a spark.  He seems to exist on a low vibration and he's not very appealing to me. 

Also, I know Hope, Chad, and Stephanie have a list of the Kiriakis properties, but if this one's a lab, why didn't Bo stick Kayla there when he first kidnapped her rather than a shack with a wine cellar?

Agree about Ben/Ciara.  l don't have kids but two toddlers on a boat sounds like the worst thing ever lol.

I feel like something is missing with Chad/Stephanie.  I think both actors are decent, but this pairing isn't where it's at.  Billy Flynn has a tendency to be checked out of things a lot.  He's been better in recent years, but I think it's very clear when he's excited about a scene or a story and I don't think he's excited about this.  He does seem to adore Marci Miller though, so maybe that's the problem.  I don't think AK is bad either, but she needs something besides what she's been given.  I see something there with her, but it just hasn't been utilized yet.   Stephanie has thus far been a very standard heroine.

Good point about the lab and Kayla.  No idea.  That would make the most sense for Bo to get his cure, but maybe Bo just recently learned about the lab?  It's hard to make sense of Days logic almost always though.

I feel like Sami would be told by someone because she'd bully her way into the truth regardless.  Although John seems very haphazard about how he told everyone so I would secretly giggle if he just "forgot" to tell Sami lol.   I am sure John told Will because Will actually is a decent human being.

Marlena could've FaceTimed Sami, but she's been in the tub most of the week.

I bet that family has a group text.  I mean with Will in New Zealand, it's hard to keep up with the time change, so I think they just text and send each other their daily Wordle scores.

The Johnsons can't text, you know with the patch and all, so they seem like a weekly phone call kind of family (although Stephanie always needs hypnosis to remember the contents of last week's call)

The Dimeras use encrypted email, The Kirikas family still write letters, and, of course, The Hortons use the landline in the kitchen.

Are they still married?

They just wasted too much time with the Kayla kidnapping episodes.

The reunion should've happened much sooner.

Bo and Hope should've returned to Salem for a reunion with family and friends.

Had them renew their vows and sailed around the world to return during the Christmas holidays for another short run.

I think so.  I believe they got remarried before he "died" and even though Hope has been remarried I think it still stands lol. 

They wasted so much time with Kayla.  Kayla/Bo is probably my least favorite sibling relationship Bo has.  But I do like Bo/Steve.

I think it's just hard to tell such a big story in 15 episodes.  I am not absolving Ron, but it's just not enough time to put anything together that's decent given the circumstances of Bo's death.

I don't hate Kayla/Bo or anything, but that sibling relationship has the least tension and depth.  They've never had any issues really.   Bo's relationship with Roman and even Kim as well as Kayla/Kim are much more interesting.  It's nice to see Steve/Bo/Kayla together, but when you only have Bo/Hope for a very limited time it seems silly.  I would much rather he interact with more of the cast and his kids.

      I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know. I know. Hardest day ever.”

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.

      Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.

      The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.

      That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
