The character needs a rest. She can pop back in and out like Alison. Wish PR was back to leave with her.

Wow what a shocker, did not see this coming lol. Maybe Kristian can get a role on Y&R as Jack’s new love. Will miss her as Hope Brady.

There hasn’t been much with Hope lately. Did not enjoy her attempted association with John not her Princess Gina. I have noticed she is looking better lately, perhaps because she’s getting away from all the craziness that used to be DOOL. Good luck to her in the future.

So heartbroken. Watched her since she started. I’m going to miss her!! Was hoping her and Rage back together

When I think of DOOL, I think of Hope and Marlena. This is tough news to read if you have been a fan since the early 1980s. Kristian and Peter Reckell was, and will always be, the most exciting couple in the history of soaps. It is sad she has been stuck with so many stories that have fallen flat with the audience since Peter left the show five years ago. I thought she had great chemistry with Daniel Cosgrove, but the writers had to make him crazy. I thought Hope and Rafe had a lot of promise, but I… Read more »

I saw that her and Rafe were getting close again, and I thought to myself what if they get back together and she leaves with him as Galen Gerring is leaving the show. So will see if I was right.

Oh please. I give it a year (if DOOL is still on the air then) and she’ll be back. Temporarily, permanently, whatever – they always come back.

^^^^ ! GRANS JEWEL ! Kristian Alfonso Ms. Alfonso, this thread deserves RESPECT bottom line : just how much , her salary, affords MORE character (s) which is truly what I want with Jenny Bear,back to coma,Melissa Reeves; MORE salary die please LET ME SAY : never had I LOVED Hope MORE; when she was with Mr. Daniel Cosgrove… dang they were HOT HOT HOT! the romance spilled out of my telee… AND , when our little Cierra Alice was … Lauren Boles… LOL what a marvel of a little girl… perfect for Kristian. chemistry w/both not to say she… Read more »

Yeah, Ken Corday CLEARLY – needs – to explain to his audience just what transpired with Greg Meng

^^^ “If NBC or Sony is not going to give the show adequate funding to put on a quality show, than maybe the writing is on the wall ”

this has certainly crossed my mind.

with heart pull and wrench in hand. hoping for the best

WHOA!
37 years– on the same show..
wow- that’s crazy!
That’s a total lifetime-
birth to date; a lifetime..
She needs to move on lol

Well.. that makes Days kinda “Hopeless”, doesn’t it??

Given the previous news of Rafe’s departure it seems to be a good bet they’ll split town together.

Bit of a bummer… they killed Bo off, and bringing him back with some sort of Rolf zombie serum just to immediately write him out again would certainly be a waste of time. But the idea of Rafe & Hope riding off in the sunset just seems so….. wrong somehow. And even more so if it’s by boat (does the “Fancy Face” still exist, by the way??)

I know the cast is too large already, but KA would be an interesting Lois Cerullo on GH.

She sure will be missed! Best of luck to her. She can always pop back
in ! Wow! just wow!

I liked her story as Princess Gina, but since then she has not had much to do. I’ll miss her, but maybe she can come back every now and then.

Good for her. She’s put in enough years, if she can fully retire, she should.

Yes you have been a great asset to Days I admit I loved you and Bo best my prayers for your journey in the future. God Bless you

I wish her well, but man!, is she ever going to leave a whole in the Horton family canvas. SO may Hortons have been dispatched this year. Not liking the thinning of the main family and trying to make it seem bigger by having “add-ons” at the Horton family Christmas party. We can see right through that. Kristian is the only one who can play Hope. I would love it if she’d pop back in from time to time. Now Ron and Ken need to add more Hortons back on the scene to fill the void left by the departures… Read more »

Wish KA the best!!! If she is still in acting, Jack needs a good love interest on Y/R she is gracious and elegant enough to fit right in at Y/R..wishful thinking. Seriously, the first episode I ever saw of the show was when Kayla went to Stockholm to help Steve when he was shot. Hope and she were having a talk and Hope told her not to give up on Steve and that he was a lot like Bo. Loved the connections between friends & family. Bope/Stayla become my instant favs. Thanks for the memories.

I would like to see her do a Hallmark movie act opposite Ryan Pavey. She can be the new Taylor Hayes on B&B or YR for Jack or Billy.

i do Hope that she decides to come back one day.

I no longer watch DOOL but I did watch it with my mom back in the 80s when Bo & Hope started going together and all the trouble they would get into…. I read that Kristian Alfonso is leaving DOOL… her last episode will be in Sept. That made me so sad and I really got thrown off the cliff when I found out Bo died 5 years ago! That said, I went on Youtube.com and found old scenes of Bo & Hope back in the 80s….when they first met, her 18th bday party, Bo kidnapping her from her wedding… Read more »
