On the August 3 episode of Days of our Lives, Belle and Chad were bummed that they’d have to cancel their trip to Italy. We were bummed, too. We were really hoping to see a classic DAYS remote. So while we wait for Belle and Chad to reschedule, we look back at our top 3 favorite trips outside of the studio.
Key Takeaways
- Belle and Chad had to hit pause on their trip to Italy.
- DAYS’s classic adventures include Bo and Hope sharing a romantic trip to New Orleans in 1984.
- Shane and Kimberly’s Miami remote delivered danger and family drama.
- Steve fulfilled Kayla’s dream with their unforgettable yacht wedding.
Hope and Bo Head Down South
In 1984, Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) finally stopped hearing “Tonight, I Celebrate My Love” playing in the background every time they laid eyes on each other, and actually consummated their love on location at the Oak Ally Plantation in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The build-up included Hope dressing up as Scarlett O’Hara, and Bo as Rhett Butler. Romanticizing the slavery-owning Old South aside, they both looked gorgeous, and their fans got what they’d been waiting for.
Andrew’s Very Icky Past
A year later, in 1985, Hope and Bo followed Shane (Charles Shaughnessy) and Kimberly (Patsy Pease) down to Miami, Florida, where, while Phil Collins sang “In the Air Tonight,” Kimberly slept with Victor (John Aniston) in order to save Shane’s life.
A few months later, Kimberly feared that Victor was Andrew’s (Colton Little) father. He wasn’t. But, for a while, it looked like he was. That was bad enough. It was even worse a few years later, when viewers learned that Victor had fathered one of Caroline’s (Peggy McKay) children. And Kimberly was a possibility. Ewwww….
Steve and Kayla Rock the Boat
Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) always dreamed of getting married on a yacht. So, for their first wedding in 1988, Steve (Stephen Nichols) arranged it for her. The real-life views of the San Pedro, California, waterfront proved so beautiful that Kayla, who’d been rendered deaf, regained her power of speech. And this after Steve went and learned sign language for her!
When Belle (Martha Madison) and Chad (Conner Floyd) do finally make it to Italy, we expect an equally gorgeous — and dramatic — location shoot.
