I used to watch DOOL...I can't believe "Bo Brady" hasn't procreated until now. He's so handsome!

Posted by: Monika at Jun 20, 2007 4:32:51 PM

her last name is 'moneymaker'? LOL!

It's crazy that he's 52, he looks awesome. How exciting for him to finally have a baby! Bo 7 Hope had a baby late in life too :)

Okay, with Sue on the "52?"!?!?!?!?!?!? I had NO idea he was that old. I watch Days and I'm so excited for him! I didn't know he didn't already have kids. I just figured he did. (does he have kids?) Wow! Congratulations "Bo Brady"! Haha! :)

Posted by: Lisa at Jun 20, 2007 7:42:44 PM

Are you sure he is 52??? if so. OMG

Sarah's note: Yes, born in 1955.

Yay for Bo!!! I love him on DOOL.

Posted by: Stephany at Jun 20, 2007 8:05:51 PM

52? Wow... I love his as Bo Brady, especially with Hope, they have such great chemistry. Anyways, congrats to him and his wife. I was wondering if/when they would have children.

Kelly is a celebrity in her own right (albeit not a very large one, except to her fans like me)...she replaced Gioia Bruno in the platinum-selling trio Expose', from the late 80s/early 90s. She didn't perform lead vocals, but she was with the group for two albums, before they were dropped by their record label. She still works with the group in their tours today, doing fill in duties, and has a solo career.

Did Kelly also appear on Days of our Lives? It seems like a I remember her playing Sami's best friend.

Posted by: Kerry at Jun 21, 2007 10:43:49 AM

If I'm not mistaken I think Kelly made an appearance on an episode and she sung one of her songs. I think it was for a wedding on the show.

Posted by: amanda at Jun 21, 2007 10:50:27 AM

She is not he one who played Sami's bestfriend. Her name was Mariam something I think. But, when she left the show, she did marry the man that played Bo for a little while. I think his name is Robert Keller or something like that he also played Sam on Another World.

Posted by: KY at Jun 21, 2007 11:40:51 AM

She has been on DOOL as a singer. I don't know the specific episode, but I don't think she was a regular (I don't watch the show), but her official sites and MySpace don't list her as a regular at any point. In 2005, she also wrote, produced and recorded a DOOL Love Song CD, which helped garner an Emmy nom.

Bo's having a baby! I always wondered when he and his wife would have a child. And he doesn't look a day over 40 to me. He looks damn good for his age.

Best of luck to the both of them! :)

Posted by: FC at Jun 21, 2007 2:07:19 PM

I love Bo. Congrats to him and his wife. His age always amazes me!!

Posted by: flower girl at Jun 21, 2007 2:22:33 PM

Congrats to Peter and Kelly! I'm so happy for them.

To answer a few questions:
*Yes, Peter is 52 (born 1955).
* No Peter doesn't have any other kids. This is his first child.
* Sami's best friend was called Jamie Caldwell and was played by Miriam Parrish who married Robert Kelker-Kelly who played Bo Brady 1992-95.
*Kelly Moneymaker's songs has been played many many times on DAYS (and yes there's a "Love Songs's on DAYS CD").
Kelly wrote a special song for Bo & Hope. She appeared in ONE episode as a singer Dec 2002.

CONGRATS PETE AND KELLY

Posted by: Liza K. at Jun 22, 2007 1:58:03 PM

Peter confirmed in SOD that IT'S A GIRL due in late November!

Posted by: Sydney at Jun 24, 2007 10:24:37 PM

Aww, a girl? It's kind of like life imitating art since Bo and Hope recently had a girl on the show. :)

Posted by: FC at Jun 24, 2007 11:49:22 PM

I agree, FC! Peter is having a girl right after Bo and Hope did. And that Kristian has two boys (just like Bo and Hope). Definitely a case of life imitating art.

I'm so happy for Peter and Kelly!

Posted by: Sydney at Jun 25, 2007 12:41:11 PM

So happy for Peter and Kelly!!! He seems like he'd make an awesome dad!

I remember the big "controversy" when Robert Kelker-Kelley married Miriam Parrish. Wasn't he something like 15-20 years older than she was? Back then, it was a big deal...nowadays, not so much! LOL...

At any rate, Congrats Peter and Kelly!

Posted by: TracyG at Jun 25, 2007 4:36:56 PM

Congrats to you Peter & Kelley on the up and coming birth of of your child.

Posted by: kathy at Jun 27, 2007 9:22:01 AM

WOW, 52 and still hot. Im very excited for him and his wife. I love that show.

Posted by: Tanya at Jul 4, 2007 3:37:54 PM

I'm so excited and can't wait to hear what they name this little bundle of joy:):)

Posted by: Bosgirl at Nov 12, 2007 12:47:56 AM

Thank-you.
