Carly & Bo... How patient IS patient?

Days viewers know the spoilers by now:


-Bo leaves Carly to help Hope


-Bo decides to break Hope out of jail

-Daniel finds out Bo left Carly



Big question: What's going to happen to Bo and Carly's relationship???

The main subject of discussion; while Bo and Hope are on the run, what remains for our Carly- will she remain compassionate and open minded or will she assume the worse and let Bo go?

As a longstanding Carbo fan; I'm in a postion to say that Carly's been nothing but patient and selfless since her first arrival to Salem back in 1990. Her fateful first encounter with Bo was'nt pleasant- she found him very rude until it was revealed to her that he was the grieving widower she'd heard about and went out of her way to be kind to him but that did'nt mean she stood any nonsense from him either- she gave as good as she got. She nursed the hope he would eventually come out of his shell and love her, or at least admit that he loved her; overlooking his sullen, unfair behaviour towards her and his constant rejections. But then she was forced to take a drastic step thanks to a third party interferance (Victor and Emmy) forcing  Bo to realize once and for all that he needed Carly in his life and had to stop living in the past.
And now??? Carly had more things to contend with; Melanie and half of Salem's hostility towards her, Bo's initial indecision about whether or not he was in love with her or Hope, Bo's preocupation and worry about Hope after she was arrested, which any other woman wouldn't put up with for a minute. Is Bo so confident about Carly's patience that he would risk destroying what he has with her by going on the run with Hope? It's not easy kissing off 25 years but it's clear he loves Carly... yet anything can happen between him and Hope, who he still addresses as his wife. And how will his old friend Leo fit in this very weird scenario?

Carly's a woman hard done by and  deserves to have some stabilty in her life; the only time she had it was when she and Bo and Shawn D were a family. To put it bluntly her life crumbled the minute she discovered Nicky was her son; she had to put up with his hostility towards her and her efforts at making up for the lost years only drew her away from Bo- their last encounter before Vivian injected her with morphine had been a fight over Nicky. All she ever did was try to be there for her son... as well as Bo, not at all knowing the boy was taking advantage of her patience and selflessness. And they fell apart, for 16 years. 
 Carly IS being taken advantage of, she's done nothing but show support for Bo and it looks like she's not going to have a happy ending for her kindness. I want her and Bo to have their second chance but the writers and KC are being so cruel! What does it take to give this woman her man at long last; they obviously need each other; why prolong the angst to prove some stupid point? No bias- she is everything Hope is'nt- mature, supportive, selfless; the bond she has with Bo still remains deep despite the long years of separation and no children with him.  He and Hope shared 3 children but their marriage was nothing but dysfuntional- falling out, getting back together and falling out over again. And DON'T get me started on his relationship with that scheming cow; Billie Reed.

Carly's  been more than patient but I think this patience she's about to exercise now  is carrying things too far- it unfair, UNFAIR! The writers CANNOT continue doing this to Carly; will she be able to wait for Bo that length of time? No doubt she will, but what will happen when he comes back- a REUNION or HEARTBREAK???

Best CARBO 2.0 Episodes

  


Since Carly's (Crystal Chappell) return last year, I've had my pick of favorite 2009/2010 episodes featuring  her and Bo and I have to admit until the infamous one when they got er... reacquainted in more ways than one, I was on pins and needles because I had no idea how it was going to play out and my main concern was Carly NOT getting hurt. But right now, the princess and the sailor's love is going on strong and all we want is for them to have their second chance; definitely in more ways than one!




Despite the current angst in DAYS right now, I've complied a list of Bo and Carly episodes( carefully edited of course) and pasted in this post for once. ENJOY!

When Bo and Carly remembered a very special night, thanks to a significant parchment (this was the episode that prompted me to add the CARBO label to this blog)

Bo and Carly's special date

BO AND CARLY: KEEP ON ROCKING!!!

Good news for the Carbos, Bo and Carly once again won the Soap Opera Pulse No. 1 couple of the week and Peter Reckell(Bo) and the lovely Crystal Chappell were voted favorite actor and actress; the viewers are dead serious about wanting this couple to have the second chance they deserve and aren't going to stop the fight till they get it.   

What being mostly clamoured for right now is Bo and Carly to walk down the aisle and have a wonderful married life afterwards as well as a child of their own at long last- I want them to have that but first the Carly Hate must stop; Bo and Carly won't have much of a love story if everyone in Salem- especially Bo's family will still treat Carly like a leper. And in today's episode, Mel- still angry that Carly had covered for Chloe actually said, 'She can never be my mother.' The writers are getting more stupid by the day; why make Mel hate her mother again and say those cruel words?

So far, Carly's bore everything with calm dignity but I can't wait for her to finally lash out at her prosecutors, especially that ungrateful brat and make them take a good hard look at themselves. 

Also, I would REALLY like for the writers(though I'm not holding my breath) to bring back Billy Warlock, the actor who played Carly's younger brother who was adopted by the Brady family. Not only will be be another ally to Carly but it may force the family to realise they haven't been fair to Carly at all- I mean... they can't expect Frankie to treat his own sister like they have been doing. 

But in the meantime, our love for Bo and Carly remains strong and we'll continue to fight for them- with all we've got- message boards, polls, video montages, emails, tweets- because they are more than worth saving!
