Hope and Bo 2001. The question is will Bo and Hope make it to 2002 as a couple? With everything that has happened with Hope's youngest son JT, it was questionable. After Bo found out that John was JT's biologicial father, everyone thought it was the end of Bo and Hope. But it wasn't, they have entered into 2002 as couple, thanks to JT. It has been proven that JT is not the biological child of Bo or Hope. He is actually the son of Marlo and Glen. Now Bo and Hope are going through the fight of their lives, trying to keep custody of a little boy that doesn't biologically belong to them. They have raised him for almost 2 years and they are not about to give him up.

Kristian was a part of the biggest tear jerker storyline in soap history. It was right up there with General Hospital's Maxie and BJ heart storyline. The day the Bradys said "good-bye" to young John Thomas Brady aka JT was one of the saddest in soap history. The Bradys were featured on the cover of Soap Opera Weekly. They took one last family picture, Jason {Shawn}, Peter Reckell {Bo} and Kristian Alfonso {Hope} holding Jacob Rips {JT}.
