The writers did her dirty. I don't blame her one bit for leaving.
I don't either. I think she's been there for so long and they're lucky she's stuck it out for this long. She's been so dedicated to the show obviously and I wish her luck in whatever she does with her next project.
I don’t blame her at All!!!
Agree. The door needs to be opened for the writers and producer.
Me neither. She hasn't had a good story line in a very long time. Probably if Peter Reckell could have returned from the dead, She would have stayed--but not to be!
@BruhTV - well. She is one
Bo and Hope were what made the show back in the 80s and 90s because they had such amazing chemistry. Kristian Alfonso is still beautiful and I have heard she is a very sweet woman. Wish her the best!!
Yes
Yesssss
😢😢😢😢😢
Days will not be the same without Bo and Hope 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She is still gorgeous! A little thiner, lucky lady, but still the same. I wish her well. Bo and Hope made the show back in the 80s and 90s. Those were good days.
I remember Hope's first encounter with Bo Brady. Those where the Days.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Me too. 1983. Bo & Hope re-meet. That’s when I got more interested in the show. I had already watched a little of original Roman & Marlena and Doug & Julie because my mom watched Days occasionally, but Kristian and Peter were IT for me.
I remember it I was only a teenager in the 80s.........My mom would tape days for me on a tape recorder........ I had a huge crush on Peter reckell........Kristian Alfonso said that red coat she wore in the alley with Bo.........It was her red coat.....When she took off with Bo on the motorcycle the first time ......It was a great scene first meeting......Hope was a model was on magazine covers.......She was always gorgeous women........And a great actress......
They had awesome chemistry with each other.....He called her little one.....She hated it.......Than he called her fancy face.......She would call him Brady........
I hope she won't get electricuted in the hot tub at the gym ?? XD
I never saw that! I hadn't started watching until '97..😥
@@donnapieniazek3989 That was all the way back in 1985..And her worst enemy was electrocuted Not her .But she was dropped in acid In 1990.xd
Maybe she just go tired of them pulling out the same old storylines over and over again. I mean Princess Gina again? Seriously? She deserved more than that.
Maybe she wants to play a totally different role!
Thank the writers fir the demise of this show . Time jump as an example , I realize it’s daytime tv but the viewers are more savvy than what the writers give credit for. So many story lines with repeat over repeat .
I loved that she said she didn’t always agree with the direction they had Hope go, because I feel the same way.
I totally disliked Princess Gina😡
Throwing Missy off that balcony was horrifying. And how strange that the storyline was moved forward a whole year not long before Covid hit.
Soooooo sad, but she has left a legacy that CAN NOT be matched., nor can her shoes be filled. Kristian will be tremendously missed. Wishing her the absolute best
Love you "Fancy face"

I've enjoyed watching Kristian play Hope. That's been her character for 37 years. I wish you the best, Kristian. You will always be Hope.
I've watched days since I was a little girl and I'm 64 now. My favorite show ever. I only watch this one. I wish Hope the best but I really wish she would stay along with many others.
@@mikemcclellan5107 The door will always be open for her if she intends to come back.
I've been watching Hope for those 37 yrs. We r the same age. I would of fell for Bo too. My life was identical. Even my boyfriend had a motorcycle like his. I was 16 and he was 19. Those were the good old days. ! Keep an open mind. Hope will come back sometime. God willing.
I’ll always ❤️ Bo & Hope‼️
It's hard to imagine that Hope was on the show for 37 years!!
yes she has been on that long remember the star was pregnant three sons now grown so took time away from her maternity leave
I don't blame her for leaving. we'll all miss her but think she's right.I wouldn't want to leave for about six months either. At that point, I think I'd go too. Nice to see her so humble about her career.I will be on the lookout for her next project.
I remember when Hope was born. Her mother Addie was killed by a hit and run She was able to push hopes baby carriage to safety. Kristian Alfonso has been such a big part of Days and has been one of the most beautiful women in TV.
John H remember when Hope came from the dead the 1st time and poor Bo juggling Billie and “Gina” lol
I always thought Pete Jannings and Melissa would come back on the show as a happy couple. lol
they will regret this....they need these core characters if this show is going to go on....what are the powers that be thinking ??!! How did they expect her to react by writing her off for up to 5 months ! What an insult !
The show was once great. But with stunts like Steve Johnson becoming Stefano DiMera. Hope now leaving. I think I am done. Why did they have to pick 2020 of all years to do this?
@@j.t.masters1934 turning steve into stephano was cheesy but if u really think about they we just giving us closure dor the great stephano. I thought it was clever
Tina Johnson this!! I don’t mind the storyline that much because they put an end to stefano for good
Is Ron Carlivati still writing for Days? I don't watch soaps or GH anymore for reasons I won't get into here, but I was a huge Spinelli and Maxie fan and he completely destroyed them saying "they're better as friends" when Guza had specifically written them to be soul mates and destiny.. Carlivati thought Spinelli/Bradford Anderson wasn't attractive enough and that the hot girl should be with a hot guy.. but they were a beautiful story of falling in love with a person's heart and being terrified of love because of how much you've been hurt. Anyway.. Carlivati is really the worst and if he's still writing for Days, it doesn't surprise me he'd make a terrible move like that.
@@fishfish2128 true!
Ron Carlivati should be the one leaving, not Kristian Alfonso. He's destroying that show.
Honestly I love Kristian but IT'S TIME. The last few years without Bo, it's like they didn't know what to do with Hope. I didn't care for her romantic pairings and recent storylines they put her in were just not great. Wasn't happy with The Princess Gina saga they recently did. Sad to say, I think it's time to say goodbye to Hope. If they aren't going to bring Bo back or put her in a great story than it's just painful to watch this epic and iconic character go down the tubes like she's been doing.
I don't think it would have been hard to write well for her, too. This wasn't a case of her flopping good stories. It was a case of them destroying anything with potential for her. They unnecessarily destroyed all the Aiden & Hope investment for a two week return. They destroyed her next on-screen relationship with the very bad and unnecessary murder cover-up. I thought the Gina story could have been really good but like most stories on this show it started looking like it could be great and continued and ended with floppy story-telling.
Neither was she. She wasnt happy that her character was paired up with aiden and rafe
Time to end the show, it’s WAY past time
@@TheEwing69 it is time to end all soap operas they are not good anymore...watching the old episodes of some of these shows make you realize that these shows and the new characters are awful
True, they couldn’t find a good story for her without Bo. Maybe she could just settle as a guest in the future like the other cast but that’s her choice.
So sad 😞 to see her go. These writers need to check themselves. We’re losing a lot of the GREAT characters.
It's the change we need. I wish many independent projects for her in the future.
I remember seeing her as a little girl in the early 80s she was so beautiful and still is and god bless you do you girl ! You will be remembered as a great hope and bow !
Ever since Peter Reckell left, the writers have portrayed Kristen as a disoriented, weak person. And I know she probably hated it. Hope was a courageous romantic with a little mischief. DOOL will not be the same without you and blessings on whatever life leads you!!
I think it’s a good decision to leave . Days of our lives isn’t what it was. The writing has suffered.
I haven't seen it in years but as a kid, I easily got hooked & I dont do that easily with soaps. I still remember my first episodes, Marlena was possessed & from there I always had no problem coming back to it
Exactly!
I agree Days is not Days anymore I hope they take it off air and just remember the good times .
The memories of me watching Bo and Hope was what made Days of Our Lives. You two had great chemistry and I was a teenager at that time. It was a true romance...You will be missed. Stay Blessed 🙌
She would be great as a detective or a doctor on a series.
I will really miss Kristian as Hope. I wish her all the best today and in her future!
When I was a kid, my girl cousin forced me to watch Days during summer break and I eventually got hooked for years. However, the story lines started to get crazy with demon possession and I stopped watching. I loved Jennifer and Hope. I even loved hope more when she had some weight on her way back in the day.
Ok
I like you on Days
She has the most beautiful eyes 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
I been watching this for 40 Yrs you will be missed
I was on my honeymoon in 1985 and watched Bo and Hope get married!❤
I forgot that Bo sang to Hope at the wedding , I saw that clip recently.
Omg I've watched since I was a toddler hope was my fave . Gonna miss her. Such a soap legend 💓
Your a wonderful actress loving person..Omg you'll be missed watched you and Bo from the beginning!!! With the most excellence!!
Good luck! I only wish you and Bo went off together...
Love you!♥️⚘
Grammar check, please.
One of the classiest ladies on TV. Kristian we will miss you, but I'll be following you on your next projects. Love you!
The writers and Corday were going to take her out for about 5 months. And she is thinking, why. Well ok I'll just retire from the show all together, I don't blame her. That's an insult what they did. Yes it will hurt the show! I wish her luck and respect her decision! God blessings Kristain
For me Days isn't the same after Alice, Shawn and Caroline passed away.
Unfortunately no one lives forever....😐
And Bo. I quit watching when they killed Bo off.
And Stefano
I have to say, Tom & Alice were the heart of the show.
Luke and Laura. Bo and Hope. Super ❤️ couple. I miss those great soap opera super couples.
Just think Luke(Tony) moved to Amsterdam and Bo(Peter) w his wife and daughter moved to New Zealand.
HOPE AND BO WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE COUPLE NO MATTER WHAT!!!!! I LOVE YALL
I watched in my teens in the mid 90’s until early 00’s and periodically checked in to see what was going on. I’m not a soap opera person but this show got me hooked.
Oh me too! Teens then checked in here and there...Bo and Fancy Face ❤️ but it's not the same as it was
Days of our lives needs to respect their core characters which they don’t. Too many recasts Too many new characters the audience don’t connect with and the writing is awful
WOW...
I'm 38, and haven't watched Days since high school. (I used to set my VCR to tape it and watch it with a sesame seed bagel and Diet Dr.Pepper when I got home 😄). She looks practically the same! Lovely lady.
Brooke H. Wow me too couldn’t wait to get home from high school to watch it on the vcr. Watch for years then just stopped to many changes.
Same here!
Me to
I did too everyday!! Loved bo and hope. Still watch faithfully!
I used to yell at my mom when she forgot to tape it. One day I came home the episode didn’t tape and all of a sudden there was a new Jenifer Horton I was so confused. Lol
Thank you for years of memories. I will always remember you as "fancy face." Days got lucky when they chose you for the role!
Gracias so much for sharing your beautiful talent with us your fan base. Wish you so much success God Bless You .
Such a beautiful wedding! No couple was ever so GREAT
Kristian, you will be missed on DOOL. Thank you for sharing Hope's journey with us for thirty-seven years. I hope Hope will have a proper send off from Salem. I'll look forward to seeing your next project on the small screen or large screen. Best wishes to you! 🎉⏳🎉
She is so sweet! I wish her the best in the future! I will always be a Hope/Bo fan 🥰
So sorry you were treated in such a way! Loved watching you for 35 years! You are so beautiful and talented. Best of luck in all you do! Missed Bo and Hope tremendously. Bo and Hope made the show and Kim and Shane and Patch and Kayla. Days will be so different with you gone! I am very sad to see you go! I was sad to see Peter Reckell go too and Patsy Pease and Shaugnessy(Shane) Donovan. Watched with my mom faithfully.
Grew up as a child in South Africa watching Days of our lives it was in 1998 when I first watch them "HOPE" what a character Days of our Lives should regarded as the best thing that has ever been played on TV.
I met her in person at the studio when I was a junior in high school and she was in her mid 20s. It was an amazing experience. She's my favorite of all times i will miss her dearly love her
Been watching her for 34yrs. Im soo sad. Goin to miss her so much.
You will be greatly missed. Have watched days from day 1 and not missed an episode. Have been disappointed for a while with the story line and the comings, goings, and returning of characters. Will greatly miss my fellow Brocktonian, Kristian. Best of luck to you and congratulations on moving on!
Hope was always one of my favorites on Days 😊
Bo and Hopes wedding was like a royal wedding!!! Iconic!!! Unforgettable!!!
I was in Australia 1986,this when I started watching dool,thank you Hope and wishing you good luck and all the best.
I been watching days for 40 years.i am going to miss you hope.i hope you have a wonderful life and be safe
I will miss you so much and thank you for sharing.
I've watched Kristin literally grow up on Days. It will be odd to not see her anymore but I think it's a good move for her. She's been there a very long time. She deserves time to herself now , & possibly resume her career on prime time tv again. I wish her much luck.
I love you Kristian! You will be missed. When I think of Days of our Lives, I think of watching it with my mom. Wonderful memories through the years. We sure Love Hope!!!
Reminds me of my mom too ❤ I lost her in 2016. She would always watch DOOL. I remember Bo and Hope, Jack and Jennifer, Steve and Kayla. Eric and Nicole, etc....those were the Days alright! Things were so different back then
So sorry to hear that!!! Good Luck with anything that you do, you will be missed 🤗
Love watching you been watching Days of our lives since I was a baby mom watched it when she was pregnant with me I’m 52 I’ll be 53 this year in October I miss seeing you On there but enjoy the next chapter of your life have fun and stay safe love you
I am now 87 years, ahem, young & very fortunate to have been able to watch DOOL since the 1960's. Do I have to say how much I'll miss Hope, No because there aren't enough words to express my thoughts on that. All I can say is, Kristian you brought many hours of complete joy to this ole gal & I'll definitely miss you but dearly wish you GREAT HAPPINESS IN YOUR FUTURE. Sending you God's blessings & only the best.
Days without Hope and Bo!! I'm sure the show will end soon.
You got that right!! Only Soap that gets One Year Renewal all the others get 3-5 Year Renewals......
Sandra Williams it would be also way worse if John and Marlena leaves.
Cathy Roland GH also only does 1 year renewals
Amen to that...just pull the plug already!
I'm going to miss "Fancy face", so much. On to bigger and better things.
I feel like a grew up with you. I remember when you first came on the show. It's been an amazing run. You will be missed.
I'll miss her!
Wow... 37 years!? It's been on as long as I've been alive. I haven't watched it since high school but it was one of my fav soap operas. My earliest memory of Days was when her & Bo got married. Lol 🙂
Awwww it's been tears since I watched Days of our lives. Hope was my favourite character in that soap.
I'm so going to miss her!! Been watching for 30 years ♥️♥️♥️♥️
She is one of the very few who was always loyal to DOOL. She never left "to pursue other paths" ... only to wind up on another soap.
Read 3stories above this one.. G&H will love her! Its about TIME!
She did leave at least once before. That's when the brought in Carly. I recall she was on Falcon's Crest for at least one season.
Not true, she debuted in 1983left in 1987 to pursue primetime and films she and did the nighttime soap opera Falcon Crest from 1988-1990, she returned for few months on 1990 to “die” and the. Came back in 1994, so aside for a few months in 1990, she wasn’t on the show at all from 1987-1994
Although I will miss all of these great actors that are leaving, I would rather them leave on their own free will than get fired unexpectedly.
We love you Kristian! You will be missed on the show! Been watching for 48 yrs. now!
I used to watch that show when I was , too young and love it. Still don’t get how my parents let me watch it tho.
You have been in my life almost every day for the past 37 years. I cried when Bo left I cried when grandpa Horton left and now I'm crying for you. Thank you so much for being in my life. And I only wish you all the best I have watched Days from day one.
It's weird how her voice sounds so different in real life than Hope's.
Literally been watching days my entire life it’s gonna be different with out hope
I’m so sorry to hear this. We will miss you beautiful.
I grew up with your character. Good memories. Thank you.
I am going to miss you Kristian Alfonso , you are amazing lady. You will be greatly missed. Munch love wishing you the best. Love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 ❌⭕️
Aww so sad that u r leaving... loved watching you throughout the years... good luck in your next journeys
I will miss you so much love you God Bless all the best ❤️😘😘😘😘
I grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, watching Days of Our Lives, with my entire family. I loved the story line of Marlaina and John in the 1980s. I loved Jennifer and Steve as well and I always loved watching Bo Brady and Hope, their story line. They were my favourite couple. She was the nominated and won the most beautiful Day time Soap Opera Actress. She is still beautiful and sincere. We love you Kristen and we all wish you well always. In Canada, USA, Europe and across the globe, we appreciate your acting for 37+ years. Thank you and Warmest wishes from Alberta, Canada!!
Thank you for this info. You go, girl! Life is opening up for something great (AGAIN!).
U will always be 'Hope' we will miss u! Lots of sincerely on whatever u endenver in your journey!
Thank you for the amazing 37 years beautiful heart beautiful lady
I love this interview with Kristian Alfonso......And all the clips from Bo&Hope from the 80s......And it would be awesome if Peter reckell come back......For hopes last episode .......Her leaving Days for good.......I was a fan a supercouple for Bo&Hope......I never liked hope with anyone but Bo.......They had such great chemistry... ...I loved the clip first episode Bo&Hope first meet......
Both ladies will be missed very much❤😓 Have watched days since I was 7 yrs old when it started back in 1965. Yeah, that long😡😓👍❤
Watched Kristian play Hope all these years. She and Bo were one if my fave super couples ever. Hasn't been the same Days since so many of the older cast members passed. Final nail in its coffin was when the great Joe Mascolo passed away. And the more they tried to "replace" him AND Stephano, the less I watched. Final final final straw was turning Steve Nichols aka Patch into Stephano. Steve's a great actor and I ❤ him but c'mon writers. 😡
And once Bo left, they have kicked Hope all over the place. I at least liked her with Rafe , he wasn't Bo but next best thing. Then they broke them up. Then last, she too going back to Gina..😡 Nope.
I will miss this beautiful lady we will always love and have watched her mature as an actress and woman...she came as a very young pretty, insecure, teenage Hope and Kristian and we've watched both turn into a sophisicated, lovely, amazing lady.
Thank you sweetheart for gracing our lives and screens for all these years. You will be so missed as will Hope, but I certainly understand your decision and wish you well.
I also must tell you Kristian that my husband passed away a short time before "Bo" did. As we got older and he was ill and home during the day with me, he watched Days with me. He loved you and Bo and after he died there was a period I didn't watch TV at all. So depressed I just slept as much as I could. Then I saw that Peter and Stephen were returning and I started watching again. I'm probably the only fan on the planet who didn't know Peter's return was very brief and that Bo would die until he did in your arms.
I cried like a baby, for Bo and Hope and for my husband and me. I didn't realize how much grief I was still holding inside myself and needed to let go of. Then I continued to watch and cry thru the completion of their story when Hope couldn't let go. Then Zack came back and you nailed the grieving process so well hon that mirrored my own. I still take it one day at a time but I'm better. Just wanted to thank you for helping me thru your amazing journey with Hope's loss and pain.
We have watched you grow up Fancy Face. As Kristian and as Hope. Watched you get married and have children as both. Watched you both soar.
God bless you and your family. Be well, healthy and happy. Know that we all love you both, going to miss you both❤😓.
I’m so very sorry for your loss
I couldn't have said any better words and so sorry for your lost I was crying as I was reading.
What a sad but beautiful story you told. So very sorry for your loss.
Aww grew up watching Days. It won’t be the same without her. 😢
Will miss you so much. I’ve watching you since you began. Wishing you the very best in your new adventures
I grown up watching you when I was 9 years old up to now I miss you hope on days of our lives
I wish you all the best Kristian. I've been watching you on Days most of my life.
I’m going to miss her me and my husband have been watching Days for probably about 25 years all the best to Kristian
I would really love to see her as a no nonsense business woman on Y&R, ideally. A cross between Gina (DAYS)/Lauren (Melrose Place) with a sprinkle of Hope. She plays a fabulous heroine but I think this is another type of role she would really work in. I'd like to see her clashing with Victor and Jack for a run.
I can’t believe she is leaving 💔I love her
Whatever she does next, I’ll be watching. Just a fabulous soul. 🙏🏾❤️
I don't know what it will be like without you!!
So beautiful inside and out! Will not be the same without you!
Will miss you thanks for everything
There has never been a couple better than Bo and Hope! The story lines were fantastic! In the 80's and 90s. Kristin and Peter had the best chemistry! I'm sorry to see Kristin go!
Talk about memories I've been watching days for so long I remember when hope was born
37 years is alot of hardwork i really enjoy her every week for that long i been watching Kristian Alfonso i do completely understand why she close the chapter of being on the show she knows we will miss her adoring fans

You are amazing.!
I really liked her with bo they made a great couple they also made the show all
