Days of Our Lives star Robert Kelker-Kelly has died at 62, according to reports.
Kelker-Kelly died October 3 in Missouri. A cause of death has not been revealed. TMZ was first to report the news.
The actor was best known for playing Bo Brady on the hit soap opera. He took over the role from Peter Reckell in 1992 and starred opposite Kristian Alfonso and Lisa Rinna. Reckell then resumed the role in 1995.
Kelker-Kelly also starred on General Hospital, appearing in 42 episodes of that daytime soap opera as Stavros Cassadine between 2001 and 2014.
Aside from soaps, Kelker-Kelly appeared in over 400 episodes of the TV series Another World between 1987 and 1998, playing different characters including Sam Fowler, Bobby Reno and Shane Roberts.
Kelker-Kelly took home two Soap Opera Digest Awards in his career; one in 1994 for Outstanding Lead Actor and the other in 1995 for Hottest Soap Couple, shared with Rinna.
The off-screen relationship between Kelker-Kelly and Rinna was highlighted earlier this year upon the release of her memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It. Kelker-Kelly did not respond to the allegations made in the book.
While Rinna has not yet spoken out about the death of her former co-star, several fans have offered tributes and condolences.
“Shocked to hear Robert Kelker-Kelly died. Nobody could ever replace Peter Reckel on Days Of Our Lives but he sure did a good job. RIP #Days,” one fan wrote on X.
“Not Stavros Cassadine, he was too young. RIP,” someone else wrote as another chimed in, “Omg!! Another great actor gone to soon and young at heart. So devastating ... Prayers for his family, friends and all fans. May he rest in peace.”
“omg.......I was in love with him in my younger years!! So sad,” another chimed in.
“RIP Robert-Kelker Kelly ... Only 62. Did an excellent job taking over the Bo Brady role on DOOL in the early 90s. A fantastic actor and a good dude. He will be missed,” someone else wrote.
Another chimed in: “I'm so sorry to hear that. He was such a handsome guy and a great actor; he really made the role of Bo Brady his own. He was also great as Stavros Cassadine. He didn't get enough credit while he was around. May he rest in peace.”
