If you have watched recent episodes of Days of our Lives, you will note that former do-gooder, Brady Black, has become darker, and we all love it.  And so does TV Guide Canada’s, Nelson Branco, who chatted with Eric Martsolf (Brady) in this brand new tantalizing and humorous interview.  From being bad with Vivian and Nicole, to his momma, Isabella, to the romance of Broe, Martsolf shares his take on all subjects close to his alter-ego’s heart.   Here are a few excerpts!

Martsolf on Brady’s turn to the dark side:  “I’m a happy guy! I’m happy to be a wonderfully tormented abusive alcoholic right now! It’s lovely. From the start of my soap career, I have played nothing but Dudley Do-Right from day one. It’s about time that the writers explored Brady, who I’ve always thought was a complex guy. He has a little bit of DiMera DNA in him, [he’s a cocaine addict], and he’s been manipulated by Nicole countless number of times. What has been frustrating playing Brady for all this time is that I think he would’ve cracked a long time ago. Finally, enough was enough and the writers decided that this guy needed to break down. It’s been a joy. Working with Louise Sorel has been a hoot. We both come from the stage. When we saw the material we immediately said to each other, “This could be really campy in a Passions-esque way,” but we decided to play it straight. So we’re playing it realistically.”

Martsolf on Brady having angry sex with Nicole and substance abuse: “ He was a ticking time bomb, and after Nicole’s last manipulation, his cup runneth over. He went to the one thing that gives him comfort, which was his choice of poison. The beautiful thing about this is that Brady truly believes he can handle the alcohol because cocaine is his issue. It’s a common misconception that abusers have. They think, “I can’t handle this one thing, but I can handle this!” So, yes, Brady’s on his way to becoming a full-fledged alcoholic. He doesn’t care what anyone around him thinks. His personality change is very reflective of his chemical dependency. Addicts turn on a dime. When it comes to Brady’s addiction, [he’s reacting very realistically].”

Head Writer Ron Carlivati on Bo & Hope Return: “This Is Old School Days of our Lives, and It’s Something That The Audience Has Waited a Very, Very Long Time to See”

Next week, begins the continuation of the shocking story arc that started last summer on Peacock’s limited streaming series, Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem Chapter 2. 

In it, DAYS fans learned that Bo (Peter Reckell) has been kept in cryogenic cylinder for years, and was brought back to life by Stefano’s daughter, Megan Hathaway (Miranda Wilson).

Now, circle March 16th for Reckell’s first episode back as Bo and March 17th as Kristian Alfonso’s first episode back as Hope to the mothership and Days of our Lives.

Head writer, Ron Carlivati previewed the storyline in a new interview with Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue on newsstands now.

Carlivati shared: “We pick up Hope where we left her off.  She had gone though this whole experience with Harris Michaels (Steve Burton), finding out that he was in league with Megan Hathaway, and we ended her on ‘Beyond Salem’ like, ‘I have to bring Megan Hathaway to justice.  I have to find her and make her pay.”‘

While Hope is on mission, she will also have Harris Michaels back in the mix, and as the head scribe shares, “Hope is on a collision course with Bo, and she’s unaware of it.”

As to what lies ahead for viewers, Ron revealed: “This is old-school Days of our Lives, and it’s something that the audience has waited a very, very long time to see.  You won’t want to miss it.”

Check out Peacock’s promo for the return of Bo and Hope below which teases that while most people get over their high school sweethearts, this one never did, alluding to Megan’s past relationship with Bo, which is the impetus for her revenge plot.

During the chat, Wally showed Steve an early scene of his with none other than Charlotte Ross, who at the time played Eve Donovan.  Make sure to check out Steve’s reaction to his younger soap opera self.

What fans recall from Beyond Salem 2, is that Harris was seemingly brainwashed by Megan Hathaway (Miranda Wilson), who was hoping he would pull the trigger on Hope (Kristian Alfonso) at their wedding.  Instead, it appeared that Hope and Harris developed feelings for each other, or did they?

Now, with the return of Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope along with Harris in the equation, is the story to bring down Megan Hathaway once and for all? Stay tuned.

Check out the Burton and Kurth conversation below.  Then let us know if you think Harris will help Hope and Bo bring down Megan via the comment section.
