Peter Reckell, who last aired on DAYS in October, 2012 after nearly 30 years of playing Bo, took to Twitter to clear up rumors about his reasons for going: "4 those of u who r concerned or have been led astray by rumors,let me clarify things. My reasons for leaving r the same as David Letterman’s … He left his show of many years to spend time with his family. If you spent an hour with my daughter [Loden] you'd see why I would rather be with her… Our time with our children is so very short ,I want to spend as much time as I can with my family. I missed a lot, and I had to change that."
