For the Bo & Hope #1 and #2, and the first part of the #3, I've remastered
some existing tapes I had. I had received tapes over the years from several
different sources. Most of the tapes were surprisingly good quality, some more
complete during some time frame than others. So using a hard drive recorder, I
was able to transfer all of the footage I had of Bo & Hope from 1983 and
into early 1984 from several different sources from multiple tapes. I was able
to do all the editing on the hard drive computer, then burn it to dvd with
little if any quality loss. This resulted in being able to offer slightly more
complete edits, and in the best possible quality from that time frame from all
of the various sources. So I was able to use the vhs tapes with the best quality
and most complete, and this varied from different time frames.
Also, I have
several Days of Our Lives 1983-1986 episodes available.

Bo & Hope
#1 June - into early Fall, 1983 - 8 hrs
The Bo & Hope
#1 is primarily edited to Bo & Hope's scenes together. Its really a
wonderful edit of their early romance and I so very much enjoyed watching this.
I had forgotten how much I loved this couple way back when! This edit contains
Bo's arrival in Salem, meeting Marlena and Hope. Hope follows Bo around, then
she runs away from home and Bo tracks her down and arrives just in time to
rescue her during an attack, contains Hope's crush on Roman and following up to
the cabin during his fishing trip and coming onto him, fourth of July picnic
when Hope kisses Bo for the first time while manning the kissing booth, their
second kiss during a fantasy sequence. Hope takes care of Bo after the Vipers
stab him, Bo becomes a private detective and is hired to investigate corruption
at the prison Liz is being held in, Hope follows him and pretends to be his
wife. Click here to read the full edit description.
Bo & Hope #2 1983 - early fall - December 1983 - 8 hrs
This is a new description for
the Bo & Hope #2 edit. I've added about 6 hours of additional scenes to this
edit. I took the existing edit and combined footage from several different
sources from other tapes I've received over the years to create a more complete
edit. This edit contains the end of the prison story, plans begin for Hope's
18th birthday, and Roman being arrested for murder. Mrs. H and Bo break Roman
out of jail (she feeds Roman tainted donuts that make him ill). Bo believes in
his brother's innocence and investigates the murders on his own, and meets with
Roman in secret. Hope's 18th birthday party, afterwards Bo tells her that he
loves her. I also added edited Bo & Hope scenes from the soapnet marathon
that recently aired the episode of Doug bursting in as they are about to make
love, he gets very upset and has a heart attack (also included Kirsten and
Peter's commentary during this section). Hope breaks up with Bo to keep the
peace with her father, Bo continues to help Roman hide out and finally puts him
in Eugene's basement. At the end of the edit, a look alike Roman enters Hope's
bedroom and tries to kill her! Click here to read the full
edit description.
Bo & Hope #3 1983 - Feb ? - April 2, 1984 - 8 hrs
I have completed the Bo & Hope #3, this is also an 8 hr edit. The first two
hours or so came from a couple of other edits from different sources. The
quality on that portion is only okay, only so-so in some sections, its very
watchable but not as good as most of the scenes on the first two edits. I have
complete very good quality episodes from late Feb into June, 1984 that I will
continue to edit from. So I used those episodes for the last 6 hours of this
edit and the quality is quite good on that portion. Unfortunately there is a bit
of a gap between the two sources. Click here to read the full
edit description.
Bo
& Hope #4 April 2 - May 28, 1984 - 8 hours
This
edit concludes the rest of the Stefano storyline, the bomb set at the concert
hall set to go off during the big benefit concert, Fake Tony DiMera (Andre)
disguised as Roman tries to kill Marlena, Bo shot while trying to stop Stefano
from escaping and winds up in the hospital temporarily paralyzed. Stefano’s
car goes off the bridge and he is once again presumed dead. Larry romances Hope
and gets her to agree to marry him. Even though Bo and Hope aren’t together on
this edit there are tons of fantasy sequences as they each dream of being
together, and a couple of great montages of past classic moments. Click

Bo & Hope #5
May 28 - July 12, 1984 - 8 hours
This
edit covers a lot of storyline! Bo is in New York
trying to find Hope to tell her the truth about why he broke up with
her and to stop her from marrying Larry. Diane has warned Larry so he
rushes Hope out of NY and keeps her away from Salem until the last
possible moment. Bo is sent on a wild goose chase trying to find Hope.
Finally he catches a flight back to Salem and Diane finally confesses
the whole horrible truth about Larry trying to keep Bo away from Hope.
Bo steals a car and when it breaks down he punches out a cop and
steals his motorcycle. He arrives at the church and finally finds
Hope. He professes his love for her but she is so hurt and angry she
doesn't want to hear him. Mrs. H comes in and helps Bo stall for time
to be able to get Hope away and talk to her. He takes her away on his
motorcycle, great action scenes of them riding down street, her
wedding gown flying, to "It takes a hero" great
moment. They stop at a park and he finally gets through to her. They
take off together and take refuge in a barn. They have precious short
time together, and Bo goes out to check things out when he hears
sirens.
Two goons come in and force Hope to write Bo a goodbye letter telling
him how much she loves Larry and she is going to marry Larry. Bo is
arrested for kidnapping and Hope is taken back to Larry and told she
will marry him or they will kill Bo. When she balks, they have Bo
badly beaten up while he is still in jail and they take her to watch
as he is rushed to the hospital by ambulance. In order to protect Bo,
she agrees to marry Larry. Megan Hathaway comes to town and Bo learns
he has a son with her that was given up for adoption. Hope is furious
at Larry and grows to hate him as she blames him for her predicament.
Hope overhears Larry being told to get Hope pregnant, so she later
tells him that she is pregnant with Bo's baby to keep Larry away from
her (even though she is still a virgin). When Mrs. H goes on and on
about her pregnancy and the baby, Hope breaks down and admits the
whole terrible truth about her marriage, her false pregnancy and even
her love for Bo. Mrs. H vows to help her and immediately calls Bo. Click
