Hope's mom, Addie Horton Williams, was killed by a speeding car as she pushed Hope's carriage out of its lethal path. Hope was raised by her dad, Doug, a local cabaret owner and performer, and her half-sister, Julie, who became her step-mom when Julie married Doug. As a teenager, Hope attended boarding school. When she came back to Salem in 1983, she was a young adult with a stubborn streak surpassed only by her need for adventure.
The following year, the duo joined ISA cohorts to chase down The Dragon who was knocking off the monarchy. As a reward for capturing the bloke, Bo and Hope were given a grand wedding fit for a king and queen. Even their friends and family were flown to England. In 1987, after many crime-fighting adventures and the birth of their son Shawn-Douglas, Bo and Hope decided to go on a private adventure. They bought a boat and the threesome sailed away. Later, Hope was presumed dead in a fiery explosion in 1990, but she returned to Salem (with amnesia) in 1994 as "Gina."
She met her match in Bo Brady. The two fell in love but it has always been a bumpy road. On her 18th birthday, when her dad found her about to make love to Bo, Doug had a heart attack. Later that year, to protect Bo from harm, she was forced to marry corrupt D.A. Larry Welch, but the union wasn't consummated. While caught up in the crime adventure surrounding the powerfull prisms, Bo and Hope made love for the first time in the Oak Alley plantation house after sharing their own personal "wedding of the hearts."
