Casting and awards
Robert S. Woods created the character of Bo in November 1979. Woods originally screen tested for the recast of Richard Abbott, cousin of central heroine Victoria "Viki" Lord Riley (Erika Slezak). He was offered the newly created part of Bo instead by then-executive producer Joseph Stuart; after accepting, Woods telephoned Dallas star and personal friend Steve Kanaly to inform him that he would be playing the "Ray Krebbs of daytime." Woods went on to play Bo from the character's inception through 1986, and returned in 1988 to play him through the series finale on January 13, 2012. Woods reprised the role when new regular episodes of OLTL debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network April 29, 2013.
A 2008 time travel storyline transplants Bo and Rex Balsom (John-Paul Lavoisier) back to 1968, where Woods portrays his character's father Asa Buchanan, and Lavoisier plays a young Bo from July 21 through August 26, 2008. As Bo and Rex return to the present, Woods' real-life son Tanner plays young Bo on August 26, 2008 as he departs to serve in the Vietnam War.

This is a story 'bout a man from Talkum County
He had a dog named Bobby Shannon
You could here him chanting every day about sundown
Spending all his off time in the cremation ground
Oh no, no, no Bobby
I can't see you Bobby
Bobby Shannon
He had a picture in a Shrine of a Monkey
From an old story where he jumped over the sea
He could be big as a giant
Or as small as a flea
Old Bobby just laughed and winked at me
Oh no, no, no Bobby
I can't see you Bobby
Bobby Shannon
Now he's covered with ashes and covered with sweat
He looked like a man who had lost a bet
He glanced around once at the burning ground
