Days of Our Lives June 18: The Secret Behind Bo and Hope's Adventurous Plan…and Why We Approve
DAYS has been pulling out all the stops with their flashbacks. We got so many incredible glimpses of the past that honored the show's late, great hero, John Black. Earlier this week, the powers that be rolled out more for Stephen Nichols' 40th anniversary.
Wednesday's episode was devoted to Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) as well as Tom and Alice, the patriarch and matriarch of the Horton family. The recreated flashbacks once again featured Young Tom (Zach Chyz) and Alice (Sydney Kathrann Smith), continuing to show how they carefully built and cultivated the Horton legacy.
Even though the actors looked incredibly young, Tom and Alice celebrated becoming grandparents to Julie and Steve. However, Alice worried about becoming an empty nester and even pondered selling the Horton house. Thankfully, that didn't happen.

Hope still had a lot to tell Bo about what he missed while he was in a coma for two years. The biggest thing was the fire that burned so much of the house, but not the Christmas ornaments. Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) rebuilt and recreated it, and just like Tom and Alice intended, it is a place where the Horton family can stay whenever they want, for however long they want.
Bo marveled at how the house looked the same. And he and Hope reflected on Christmases past, spent hanging their ornaments on the iconic Horton family tree. Bo saw the hanging of his ornament as having finally made it with Hope's family.

Bo was so grateful to be with his Fancy Face that he pulled out all the stops. He and Hope reminisced about their epic love story. Then, Bo managed to surprise Hope. Right there in the Horton living room with nothing but the two of them, some fancy clothes, and Addie's ring, the two renewed their vows.
It's been 40 years since Bope's 1985 wedding. And the love between them is every bit as strong as it was back then. Here in 2025, they celebrated their love with emotional vows pledging to be together always and for the rest of the days of their lives. They told each other they never wanted to miss each other again.

Bo informed Hope that he had taken back the Fancy Face from Shawn (Brandon Beemer), and it is now theirs to set sail and find adventure. Hope also saw it as a way to visit Ciara (Victoria Konefal), Max and Chelsea, as well as Claire and Theo in South Africa.
However, they also decided that Salem would once again be their home base, and they could basically do what Doug (the late Bill Hayes) and Julie did. There was a time when Doug and Julie would spend time away from Salem going on magnificent trips and adventures together. And then then in between, they would come back to Salem and be with their family and friends and get caught up in Salem's drama.
We're holding the show to this, especially since Bo and Hope decided to become partners with Steve (Stephen Nichols) in Black Patch. Salem needs its veteran characters, and so, let's hope (pun intended) that Bope returns to Salem soon.
Here's Bo and Hope's theme song, to set the mood for today's episode:

Sean Kingston jailed
Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison. The Beautiful Girls hitmaker - whose real name is Kisean Paul Anderson - and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty of five counts of wire fraud in March following a federal trial and faced up to 20 years in jail for each charge. But on Friday (15.08.25), Sean apologised in front of Judge David Leibowitz and said he had learned a lesson, and though his attorney asked the 35-year-old star be allowed to leave and surrender at a later date for health reasons, the judge refused and he was immediately taken into custody. His attorney, Zeljka Bozanic, told Entertainment Weekly the musician is taking the situation "as a learning experience". The lawyer said in a statement: "We respect the Court's decision and the judicial process. We are content that the Court did not go with the government's request of five years and sentenced Sean below the sentencing guidelines instead. It is important to note that most of the restitution in this case was paid back, even before these charges were brought. "Sean is taking this as a learning experience and will continue moving forward in a positive direction. We are actively reviewing all available options, including potential appeals, to ensure his rights are fully protected." Janice - who had previously pleaded guilty to bank fraud for stealing $160,000 and served more than a year in prison - was sentenced to five years behind bars last month. The mother and son had denied allegations of falsely claiming they had sent bank transfers for luxury items worth more than $1 million but were found guilty in March. After the verdict was reached, Sean was placed on home detention, though he has to meet bond requirements, including a $200,000 surety bond in cash, as well as putting up a relative's $500,000 house. However, Janice was reminded into federal custody and was taken away by US Marshals as her son cried. He told them: "Protect my mother.' While Sean opted not to testify on his own behalf, his mother did, and the judge explained she was remanded as a flight risk in part due to her testimony. He said Janice - who has similar past convictions - had shown she was the "fixer, the nerve centre" and in control of the fraud scheme but her son's defence depicted him as "a child" with no knowledge of finances. Several alleged victims had claimed to have been swindled out of items including a bulletproof Cadillac, a huge TV and expensive watches, and all items had been seized in a raid on Sean's home. The United States Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida, previously explained the rapper and his mother's charges stemmed from their alleged involvement in "a scheme to defraud victim sellers of high-end specialty vehicles, jewellery, and other goods purchased by the defendants through the use of fraudulent documents." The office went on to state the pair "unjustly enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers as payment for vehicles, jewellery, and other goods purchased by the defendants, when in fact no such bank wire or other monetary payment transfers had been executed by the purported banks, and thereafter the defendants retained or attempted to retain the vehicles, jewellery and other goods despite non-payment. Through the execution of this scheme, the defendants obtained in excess of $1 million in property." The pair were accused of having stolen almost $500,000 in jewellery, more than $200,000 from Bank of America, more than $100,000 from First Republic Bank, $160,000 from a Cadillac Escalade dealer and $86,000 from a maker of customised beds. At the time of his arrest last year, the musician was serving two years probation for trafficking stolen property.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Cardi B, Chance The Rapper, Dijon and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Cardi B has a message for the competition, Chance The Rapper comes full circle and Dijon blows up. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard Boogie in Central Park This Fall With Lane 8, Porter Robinson, Nora En Pure & More Taylor Swift's Podcast Debut Climbs to 'New Heights' by Setting This YouTube Record Pooh Shiesty Shares Update From Prison: 'The Support and Love I Received on This Roller Coaster Is Unmatched' Cardi B, 'Imaginary Playerz' 'Fixin' y'all mouth to talk fashion with me / I'm the one who showed these girls what fashion could be,' Cardi B spits near the end of 'Imaginary Playerz,' a viper strike against those who doubted her longevity and other women in hip-hop trying to come for her crown. With Cardi's long-awaited sophomore album just weeks away, this single is a timely reminder of her dominant wordplay and cutthroat approach; the expectations are officially sky-high. Chance The Rapper, Chance The Rapper hit the mainstream with the force of a freight train in the mid-2010s, and then his 2019 album, The Big Day, zapped his momentum; Star Line, the long-awaited follow-up, boasts plenty of A-list guest stars — Lil Wayne, Young Thug and Jazmine Sullivan among them — but also serves as a back-to-basics project from an artist who blew up thanks to fiercely beloved mixtapes, combining personal reinvention with scrappy artistry. Dijon, In the four years since Dijon released debut album Absolutely in 2021, his influence in modern R&B (and popular music in general) has grown by leaps and bounds — and with follow-up full-length Baby, he returns with a lush, lo-fi set of rhythmic gems, to a much bigger audience waiting for them, and now has the opportunity to position himself as a full-blown commercial force. Kaytranada, A press release for Ain't No Damn Way! describes the project as 'an intentional return to Kaytranada's dance music roots' — which, if you like to move whatsoever, is pretty damn exciting, considering that the producer is absolutely elite when it comes to cooking up dance floor-fillers. Opener 'Space Invader' sets the euphoric tone immediately, and by 'Target Joint' in the fourth slot, your shoulders will be exhausted from wiggling too hard. Jordan Davis, Country star Jordan Davis' catalog contains a reliability that has made him into a singer-songwriter with a dedicated Nashville fan base, and on Learn the Hard Way, he continues his streak of celebrating the simple pleasures of life with mid-tempo tracks built around his steady tone and shrugging off too much production flash (although the occasional guest star, Carly Pearce and Marcus King, does drop by). Olivia Dean, 'Man I Need' Anyone paying attention to Olivia Dean's recent string of singles understands why anticipation keeps ratcheting up for the London singer-songwriter's sophomore album, The Art of Loving: 'Man I Need' once again demonstrates her natural gift for immediate melodies, but her modern riff on classic rhythmic pop is snappier than ever, to the point where you'll be humming along midway through your first listen. Editor's Pick: Conan Gray, Wishbone is Conan Gray's fourth studio album, and sounds like the one he's been working toward his entire career: once again working with Dan Nigro but handling much of the songwriting on his own, the pop artist fully arrives with a mix of hushed confessionals and brash arena-fillers, with both styles boasting the evocative lyricism that's made him a star.
