BO BUCHANAN'S HISTORY

Bo Buchanan arrived in Llanview in 1979 unaware that he was a Buchanan. However, his true identity was unveiled after Bo uncovered his biological father, Asa, in a lie. Throughout the years, Bo has had his shares of losses, from wives to children.

It all started after he married Delila Ralston. Bo and Didi were taken hostage by a crazed man, Patrick London, who underwent plastic surgery in order to look like Bo and take over his life. During the ordeal, Didi was electrocuted and died in Bo's arms. Bo would then go on to marry Sarah Gordon who was later kidnapped and presumed dead. Although he would never get used to the devastation in his life, Bo never gave up. Just when he found love for a third time and married Cassie Callison, Sara returned from the dead and she and Bo reunited. But not for long� A year later Sara died in a hit and run accident leaving Bo to grieve her death again.

A few years later, Bo was overjoyed to find out he had a grown son. Drew Buchanan made Bo proud when he followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Llanview PD. However, Bo's life again took an overwhelming turn for the worse when Drew was shot and killed in the line of duty.

Out of all the women in Bo's life, his love for Nora Hanen is the most memorable. It was Nora who got him through the loss of his son by giving Bo another child, only to have him crushed again when Lindsay Rappaport found out that Nora had an affair and switched the paternity results to say that Sam Rappaport was the father of Nora's child, ultimately ending Bo's love affair with Nora forever. It later came out that Matthew Rappaport was indeed Bo's son.

Although he's faced more tragedy than most people in a lifetime, and continues to have terrible luck with women, Bo has always come out stronger. A true class act, Bo believes in fairness for all and has even arrested his own family members to prove it! Llanview couldn't ask for a better Police Commissioner!

However, after losing his father, and his job, Bo was faced with some inner demons after Lindsay Rappaport betrayed his love once again - and after Bo was sent back through time to face the man who hurt him the most Asa!

Wednesday, October 15 2008: Cris Makes A Call To Llanview!

When she sees Roxy and Bo outside of the room, she goes to them and informs that there's still no change with Rex. Bo questions if Rex had a living will, but Adriana doesn't want to think about that. Roxy wishes that Rex had put her in charge because if he had, she would have made sure that Gigi was by his side right now! Wanting what's best for Rex, Bo asks Adriana if she thinks Rex would want to stay alive forever, with machines hooked up to him, or if he'd want to be let go… Adriana is distraught over the thought and screams, "I'm his family! Not Gigi, not Shane, me!" Adriana refuses to let Rex go, but Bo reminds her that Rex asked for a divorce, in order to be with Gigi and raise Shane, leading Roxy to insist that Adriana allow Gigi in to see her son! When Adriana refuses, Roxy leaves to get a lawyer! Bo then informs Adriana that if he has to he will pull some strings to allow Gigi to see Rex. "If there's the slightest chance that hearing Gigi's voice will bring him out of this," Bo warns. "I'm going to make it happen." Once Bo leaves, Adriana goes back to Rex's bedside and breaks down in tears.

Friday, October 10 2008: Off To The Basement!

In Bo's office, although Bo feels for Gigi, he warns that Adriana is determined to keep her away from Rex. Gigi cries, and worries that Shane will never get to know Rex as his father then rants about how vicious Adriana is being - out of spite! Over talk of Brody, Bo informs Gigi that he's being transferred to a VA psychiatric hospital, in order to determine if he's sane enough to stand trial. Suddenly, Bo gets a call from Roxy saying they're removing the tube from Rex - and that he should be there. Though Bo wants to bring Gigi with, Roxy warns that Adriana said she'd have her removed! Once Bo hangs up, he relays everything to Gigi, who is devastated that she can't be there. Bo promises to keep her posted - and to tell Rex that she loves him.

Bo arrives at the hospital just in time for the doctor to remove the tube. Adriana insists on being in there with Rex, leaving Roxy, Bo and Layla outside Rex's room. Looking into Rex's room, Roxy worries to Bo that Rex won't be able to breathe on his own.

Inside the room, when the doctor removes Rex's tube, he stops breathing! Adriana comes out of the room crying, to which Roxy screams, "You better quit being a jealous selfish witch and let him see the woman he loves!" Roxy then grabs Adriana and forces her to look at Rex, who is back on a ventilator, then says, "Take a look at him - because that's what you've done to him!" After Bo takes Roxy away, Adriana wonders to Layla if she's doing the right thing, but worries if she lets Gigi in to see Rex that he could get even worse! Adriana wonders if Rex and her would still be happy - if he hadn't run into Gigi in Texas - but then admits, "Maybe me and Rex were never meant to be together." Suddenly, the doctor comes out of Rex's room, let's them all know that he's back on the ventilator, but that it will slow down his recovery. When Roxy and Bo ask if Rex will be unconscious for the rest of his life, the doctor replies, "I'm not going to lie to you. If Rex doesn't regain consciousness, there is a chance he will remain this way. And even if he does, Rex may never be the same."

Still at the station, Gigi goes back into Bo's office, looks at a photo of Bo and Rex then remembers the last time she and Rex were together, talking about the life they were going to have - with their son. Just then, Bo calls and tells Gigi everything the doctor told them, leaving Gigi crying, "Oh, no!"
