Bo Brady is the biological son of Caroline Brady and Victor Kiriakis. He is the Step-son of Shawn Brady and half-brother of Roman, Kimberly, and Kayla Brady. He is also brothers (by adoption) to Frankie and Max Brady. Bo is husband to Hope Williams Brady and father of Shawn-Douglas and Zack Brady. Bo was also once the husband of Billie Reed and father of Georgia Brady, the baby girl Billie miscarried and burried in the Louisiana Bayou.

Bo Brady re-met Hope Williams in 1983 while she was babysitting Roman Brady's daughter Carrie. On Hope's 18th birthday, she and Bo were about to make love when her father Doug showed up. He was so upset that he had a heart attack. Thinking of Hope's safety, Bo agreed not to see Hope and acted as if he were having an affair with another woman. Hope later agreed to marry Larry Welch. In the middle of the ceremony, Bo burst into the church and rescued Hope from Larry.

In 1985, Bo, Hope, and Shane went to England to bring down "The Dragon". Bo and Hope captured him and were given an extravagant wedding as a gift from the queen. The following year, Bo discovered that Victor Kiriakis was really his biological father from an affair that he and Caroline Brady had several years before. Bo then decided that he and Hope would move into the Kiriakis Mansion. Hope was extremely displeased with this because of her great dislike for Kiriakis and his shady dealings. A now pregnant Hope left Bo, and miscarried their baby shortly thereafter. Bo told Hope that his reason for moving into the Kiriakis Mansion was so he could get closer to Kiriakis and ultimately bring down his empire. Although Hope had forgiven Bo, she went along with their separation, but their plan was almost foiled when Hope became pregnant again. A short time later, Kiriakis found a document stating that he was sterle at the time of Bo's conception and quickly disowned Bo. Now Bo was able to reunite with Hope and the Brady family. After a few months, Hope gave birth to a baby boy, Shawn-Douglas Brady.
Bo bought a sailboat, "The Fancy Face" and the three of them left Salem.

In 1990, Victor Kiriakis discovered that Bo truly was his son and decided to set out to find him. Bo and Hope didn't want this and headed off to Paris. There, Hope got a letter from Bo telling her goodbye. So, she and Shawn-Douglas started home for Salem. As it turned out, the letter was not actually from Bo, but Loretta Toscano. Loretta was the wife of Ernesto Toscano and mother of Isabella Toscano Kiriakis. Although Loretta was believed to be dead, she was very much alive and she kidnapped Bo and sent Hope the fake letter. Johnny Corelli, another of Kiriakis' enemies, was helping the Toscano's get revenge on Kiriakis. Johnny was going to do this by taking over Bo's identity. However, Bo was able to convince Johnny to let him get the revenge on Kiriakis and Bo went back to Salem. Shortly thereafter, Ernesto decided to put on a cruise trip on the ship "Loretta" and just about all of Salem was going to go. Ernesto had put a bomb on the boat in hopes of destroying his enemy Salemites. The explosion caused the "Loretta" to shipwreck, and many of it's survivors wound up stranded on an island. The same island where Ernesto was keeping Isabella. He had her removed from the "Loretta" just before it exploded. While on the island, Bo was able to find Ernesto's lair and Hope followed him there. While in Ernesto's lair, Hope became trapped in a cage suspened over a vat of acid. The cage burst into flames with Hope and Ernesto inside and they were both presumed dead.

In 1994, Bo and Billie went to Maison Blanche for a charity cotillion Kristen was holding. (The DiMera Mansion in New Orleans, where Stefano and Celeste were keeping a woman who looked very much like Hope.) While in Lousiana, Bo proposed to Billie. It was shortly discovered that the familiar woman was Gina. As the months passed, Gina became more and more convinced that she was actually Hope. And Bo, found himself becoming more and more attracted to her, and finally, he too believed Gina to be Hope. He and Billie's relationship became strained and Bo left Billie. Since Hope wasn't dead, she and Bo were still legally married and they left on a second honeymoon. Billie followed them to try and convince Bo that Hope was really Gina and eventually got the memory book Celeste used to plant Hope's memories in Gina's mind. Bo eventually realized that Billie was right and left Gina to go after her. Bo and Billie planned to marry on New Years and Gina agreed to be a bridesmaid. Unfortunately, they didn't get very far. Not only did the "Devil Marlena" cause the chandelier to come crashing down, then Alice came in and stopped the wedding. She objected because she believed Gina truly was Hope! A short while later, Gina decided to have Hope declaired legally dead and alas, Bo and Billie were married.

In late 1995, Gina found Tom Horton's puzzle box that only he and Hope were ever able to open. Gina opened it and discovered she was indeed Hope WIlliams. Billie felt guilty that it would be too difficult for Shawn-Douglas to have her standing between his estranged parents, and decided to leave Salem. Bo and Hope's relationship had so many twists and turns, it took some time for them to become close again. A year later, Bo and Hope were to be married. However, there was a bit of a snag. A heartbroken Billie decided to go to the Horton Cabin on Smith Island the night before the wedding to be alone. Bo found out and decided to go to the island to check on her. While there, Franco Kelly cut Bo's boat loose and stranding Bo and Billie alone together on the island. Bo tried everything to get off Smith Island and back to Salem in time for his wedding to Hope; he even tried to swim back. An extremely worried and upset Hope got word via Franco that Bo was at the Horton Cabin with Billie and decided to go there and find him herself. When Hope walked into the cabin, she found Bo and Billie in a very intimate position in front of the fire.
She called off the wedding.
