Days Of Our Lives
Daniel Cosgrove Exiting Days of our Lives?

Over the weekend at a fan event in Montreal, Quebec Canada, Days of our Lives stars Daniel Cosgrove (Aiden) along with Eric Martsolf (Brady) made a personal appearance at the Fino Restaurant Gourmand benefiting the Amal Foundation.
Apparently, numerous DAYS fans who attended the event related on social media that Cosgrove revealed that he was leaving DAYS at the end of his contract, and some were saying he was let-go by the NBC soap opera.
Cosgrove had been in a love story with Kristian Alfonso’s Hope, but now with the return of Peter Reckell as Bo, it looks like the days of Aiden Jennings could actually be numbered!
Daniel joined Days of our Lives back in 2o13, and since DAYS tapes six months ahead did not make his Salem debut till January of 2014. As of Monday morning, there has been no official word from Days of our Lives as to the actual status of Cosgrove.
So, what do you think if it proves true that Cosgrove is leaving DAYS? Would you be upset that there is no more Haiden? Are you hoping for a Bo and Hope love reunion? Is there going to be a new man in Hooe’s life? Share your thoughts below!

While I am sure everyone would love to see Bo and Hope reconcile, I would miss the character of Aidan and Mr. Cosgrove. Is there an endgame to reuniting Bo and Hope? By that I mean is there an on-contract storyline for the supercouple post 50th anniversary hoopla?
Yeah it seems to me- based on Reckell’s past exit– that this would not be a long term return for him. So why reunite them to break them up yet again. We’re kind of sick of it.
Is Peter staying around…anyway, i didnt mind Hope and Aiden as a couple in the beginning but lately that spark between them has fizzled out so it doesnt matter to me if he stays or goes…they can always pair Rafe with Hope unless Peter stays as Bo and they can write an interesting story for him and Hope ill be fine with that!!!
I would like to see Hope and Rafer together as a couple and also I want him back on the police force.
If Peter Reckell isn’t signing a contract, no need to fire Cosgrove. That would be a waste. I would like Hope to be paired with Rafe, to me Aiden/Hope were lukewarm at best.
Eh.
This is very upsetting news. I really like Daniel Cosgrove. Aiden and Hope are so cute together. I do wish their relationship had moved along faster. I will definitely miss Aiden. All the best to Daniel Cosgrove.
I will miss him, too. I am so over Bo and Hope. I loved them in the early 80’s but not anymore. I loved Aiden and Hope together and kept waiting for Days to write a good storyline for them. I will definitely miss Daniel. I hope he lands a great part on another soap or show. I would watch. BTW I find Days so boring right now. I think they should stop filming so far in advance. We viewers end up stuck with horrible storylines for months. I have watched Days from the very first airing, but I am… Read more »
I’ve only watched Days a little over a year. Do have any idea why they tape so far in advance? Has it always been that way?
If this is true, I’m shocked, I really enjoy Daniel Cosgrove as Aidan, he is such a great actor, and his chemistry with Kristian Alfonso is so fresh and exciting. I want more of Aidan and Hope. Maybe, he’s leaving while the Bo story plays out? I sure hope Daniel remains with DAYS. He is a gem!!!
Couldn’t agree more!
soapcentral.com is also reporting that , another one of our faves has excited with little fanfare…. : “… Brendan Michael Coughlin (Tad Stevens) is the latest casualty of Days of our Lives’ cast cuts. ” June 17, 2015 what a drag! the big mystery seems to be , well two things. 1. are Peter Reckell and Stephen Nichols both on contract ? 2. also… what is the longevity of this show past, Sept, 2016? if neither Bo or Patch are contracted ? why get rid of Aiden? I just read a blip that Aiden and Clyde are both being let… Read more »
@ Patrick, As much as I love BMC as Tad Stevens, DAYS unfortunately doesn’t utilize this fun-loving actor. He’s really likeable and, if reports are true, it’s not as big of a loss as Daniel Cosgrove. Aidan is very much in story with Hope. We see T once in a blue moon working at TBD. I understand budget cuts are being made to make room for the veterans returning, etc., however, if Daniel was let go, that wasn’t a smart move for DAYS. I’ve loved watching Aidan and Hope’s loving and playful relationship blossom, and it would be unfortunate if… Read more »
Jeremy-
Perhaps Daniel will show up in another soap 🙂
Hi lovely, su0000,
IF Daniel Cosgrove is indeed exiting DAYS… I think GH should snatch him up as a Ned recast. As much as the role is Wally Kurth’s, I would love to see Daniel Cosgrove as a Q. We need Ned in story, Olivia will return and, I really would love to see Daniel Cosgrove as new-Ned. He can keep the role warm while Wally is on-contract at DAYS. Hopefully, GH will read my suggestion and nab Daniel as Ned Quartermaine recast.
*Ned Ashton
I love Aidin he is a great actor
I’m sorry he’s leaving…..However, I think there are many things in his past that haven’t come out, maybe they will before he leaves (maybe that’s why he’s leaving). Question – why are they aging his son if he’s leaving??? We’ll see what the writers do. I hope Hope doesn’t go back to Bo, she needs someone better, maybe Rafe??
His character is just rather bland. I’ve always found Hope to be annoying so I’d be quite happy for her character to have much less air time.
You have my vote, Cat.
I like Daniel Cosgrove but I didn’t care for him with Hope so this is good news, they can make room for another vet..
I also read on DC that Shawn that plays Dr. Daniel Jonas might be leaving soon.
Who would be the new “Salem Hero” if Dr. Dan left? Hahaha
lol true. The man who can do no wrong!
I so hope… that Shawn Christian is let go… he just sucks the life out of every character… except for his scenes with his young son… Parker
don’t like aiden, should go, bo and hope belong together, if bo dosen’t stay, then hope should be with rafe.
I agree with you Rita, Hope needs Rafe or Bo Brady. Days needs to bring back Leann Hunley as Anna Dimera. Aiden was boring and put me a sleep lol.
I meant put me to sleep. lol
I don’t think Hope is the only character on canvas that Aidan could have been paired with. But… let’s be honest. If they are bringing all these vets back we know someone is going to get cut. It’s a budget thing.
I love Aiden. Daniel is a very cordial individual and I hate seeing him being treated this way. Don’t get me wrong I like Peter but his character, Bo, has blown his right to be with Hope. Bad move as far as I am concerned. There certainly are a lot of other characters that could leave the canvas and would not be missed by me.
At our recent Days event here in Montreal at Fino Restaurant there was rumour about @DanielCosgrove leaving #days. Please note nothing was confirmed directly by him at the event
Thank you! CH Elegant Entertainment.
I hope this, “rumour” is just that
if they need to clean up shop …. bye bye Clyde, Ben, Daniel…. to start
Please note that the people at CH Elegant Entertainment are just trying to do damage control. Daniel Cosgrove spent much private time with fans away from the listening ears of those running the event. He was indeed clear about his departure with more than one fan in attendance. This in not a rumour. Daniel was very specific that he had already finished taping. Eric Martsolf also made mention of Daniel’s exit.
There is no reason for the people at CH Elegant to do damage control for something that was never said! As much as Daniel had time to spend with his fans he also had much time to spend with the organizers. Unfortunately things that he said were taken out of context and should not have been spread all over the Internet! These issues are for Daniel Cosgrove to speak about publicly not the fans nor the organizers of any event….as far as we know he has not done that as of yet! All the rumours that have been going on… Read more »
Sorry you feel that way Kathy but Daniel did not mince any words about his departure. He was very clear and very honest with his fans about what was going on, which was greatly appreciated. If by official you mean standing in front of everyone and making an announcement, then no he did not do that. However, he did speak about his exit from Days on both Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon with more than one person attending the event. There was no mistaking what was said and certainly no room for it to be taken out of context, especially… Read more »
First of all I was at the event and think that the fans had ample time to spend with both Daniel and Eric… Your comment about the organizers taking time away from the fan time is false! I’m not sure how u can blame the organizers, considering one of them was ready to drive us over the border should Daniel not have been able to make it. They had no control about the incident with the passport and still offered to do anything possible to rectify the situation! The only time during the evening that they took him away from… Read more »
Oh and one more thing! I didn’t have tickets to the bowling the next day and although they did not have to, the organizers generously offered us to come to the bowling for free to make up for the time lost due to Daniels tardiness! I’m sorry but that is very generous on their part and if any fan has anything negative to say about them then they need to get their heads checked! On that note good night!!!!
I haven’t a clue what you are speaking of in regards to “chilling” with Daniel and Eric, nor do I care. In regards to information being circulated on social media, this again goes back to private conversations that took place. I will not go into that any further. What I will repeat is that no one from CH Elegant was present during these conversations. Regardless of how many times they claim to have been, it doesn’t make it so. Furthermore, those in show business and the soap opera world in particular are experienced enough to know that should they not… Read more »
Kathy, it’s very interesting that bowling is being brought into this discussion, given that that event also started an hour later than advertised and seemed to take even longer than that to actually get underway. Fans were told this was due to interviews taking place which were delayed due to organizer socializing the night before. In addition to that, the karaoke event was also very late in getting started due to poor planning re: noise allowances. It was unfortunate that one DJ hired for the event was left to carry each piece of sound equipment down to a dark basement… Read more »
I was at this event and unfortunately I have to agree with Matt. Eric and Daniel were awesome but the organization, venues, food and everything else was subpar in my opinion. Daniel did mention leaving Days and there were a lot of people that heard it and asked him questions about it. He answered honestly. In this day everything goes viral sadly but I don’t think either side is to blame entirely. I blame Days for making this horrible decision to begin with. Daniel is a great actor and he did an amazing job with what he was given. I… Read more »
I heard the same things at this appearance from Daniel. It is a terrible shame but it is true that Aiden is leaving. I really love the character and don’t wish to see him leave. I think Days has one thing on its mind and that’s vets. As much as I love these older characters, I really think there should be a mixutre of old and new for all fans to enjoy. My fave part of going to this event was meeting Daniel and Eric. Both great guys. My 2nd fave part was playing with the dog that was running… Read more »
i feel the same way mary!
Mary, I agree with you! What I do not understand…. Peter is back for a very short period of time….. it is not a long term gig…he has been very vocal about that. So what happens when he leaves yet again? Bad decision DAYS!
How can you say Peter has been very vocal about his return not being long term? Please point me to the confirmation that I must have missed. Or are you speaking about his statements BEFORE he reached a deal with DAYS? Just because he said he would never be long term again, does not mean he wouldn’t change his mind. He could have signed on for 3, 6 or even 12 months and already agreed to extend his stay. We don’t know, do we? Now, I’ve challenged you to prove me wrong. If you can prove it’s short term, then… Read more »
I think you are experiencing “Wishful Thinking” Ive heard that Peter IS on Contract.. I mean thin k about it.. hat is there to “Tie up” after a couple years away Only to leave again? Coming home to die?? Walking away from Hope then leaving again? Peter would not waste His time.. Or upset his fans that way.. He knows that to come back then leave again right away would only open up a wound. Im not saying his path back to Hope will be easy.. Much will depend on the back story of his absence… But Im sure it… Read more »
Matt! Your blubbering and going off on the organizers is just proof that u have no class and no idea what you’re talking about! Firstly, I am a huge Daniel and Eric fan and didn’t know anyone from that organization before this event…therefor u stating so is false and before u accuse people of things u should really check your info out first! Secondly, I did get to speak to the organizers of the event in the evening a few times and found them to be very nice and thoughtful! U stating that u would not attend anymore of their… Read more »
Enjoyed this pairing of Hope and Aiden and have been very upset of late that they have been on the back back burner. If this rumor proves true, now they are firing him for lack of interest when they have not written a plot for them to have interest in! Very unhappy about this….
To be honest, I was always a huge Bo/Hope fan….right from the beginning. But it’s out of character for Bo to leave his family this way….and I believe the writers are the ones who dropped to ball on this. For whatever reason, Peter left his BO character behind. IMHO…he should not have been invited back for the 50th. We all know he’s not coming back permanently, so he’s coming back to put an end to his ‘story’??? Aiden’s son is supposedly being aged along with Ciara’s character. I’m not getting this whole thing. I’m sorry about Daniel Cosgrove. From having… Read more »
I like the actor, sincerely I do but the character is a little on the uninteresting side. I think it would have been more enthralling to have him be a real psychopath as I thought the direction for his character was turning. Instead, he’s Mr Nice Guy, I mean Salem has enough of those. They needed to do something inventive with his character, not just help at School functions. Maybe he needed an evil twin brother from Scranton to pop up and confuse Hope – I’m kidding to a certain degree but really they needed to make his character more… Read more »
This isn’t surprising, seeing as DAYS is returning to its roots and legacy characters for its upcoming 50th anniversary. And with the recent and upcoming departures of newer characters like Jordan, Serena, and Xander, it wouldn’t be surprising if Aiden was the next to go. And after him I could see the show getting rid of Clyde (hopefully) and Ben. Needless characters who are pretty boring do not a good soap make. Plus, with Bo returning, I assume that reuniting him with Hope is the endgame, though if Peter Reckell isn’t staying on-contract, I don’t see the point of axing… Read more »
Not an Aiden fan with Hope.. .would like someone else ..maybe Patch… aka Stephen…. hmm a good love triangle between the three.. forget Bo….now that I write this.. Bo needs to be with Hope.. too much history.. Bo and Hope forever!!
I hope not. Daniel Cosgrove has been great, and his Aiden character is practically the only actual grown-up maile on the show. And he and KA are so good together.
I loved Bo and Hope together for a long time, but I’d rather see her with Aiden these days. And I think Days benefits a LOT from having Cosgrove in the mix.
Lets wait and see what really happens.
I think he is so handsome but this was a waste of talent. They didnt really know what to do with him and it was bland.
Why not keep Aiden and send Clyde and his boring son on the next wagon back to the hills. Aiden can be with Paige’s screwed up mother. I cannot think of her name at the moment. Oh! Oh! Oh! , If Zander is leaving the show why not let him take care of Clyde for Victor then maybe Victor will let Zander stay, I think he is great!!!! And please put me out my misery with the dumb face look that Will gives when he is busted.
Well I thought it was fishy that Days had no money that they asked PR to take a pay cut and he decided to leave instead and now suddenly the money fairy has shown up and there is cash to get all these big names back– I suspect another serial killer might hit Salem come fall in order to get rid of some characters to afford all these returns– perhaps Aiden could be the killer –he does seem like he has some deep dark side to him–LOL Seriously, if he decided to leave on his own then I respect his… Read more »
TeamBope Always
fdirst I like adian and hope so sad to see him leave if it is true but i donot think hope and bo will be a couple cause we do not know how long he is staying o n d ays nad i think hope and rafe are oing to hit it offa nd as for luas and adrienne and justin not sure how that will happen do like adrineea nad justin but he idd cheat first and has beofre i would not mind htem getting back i would just feel sorry for lucas as for erica and nicole it… Read more »
I want Hope with Rafe. I think they deserve a year or 2 while Bo kisses Hopes ass for a loooonger ass time
I don’t like it when we get used to seeing a couple In love with great chemistry together then out of the blue they break them apart it’s not fair I love Aiden with hope and besides Bo won’t be staying he’s just making a guest appearance for the 50th anniversary Aiden is a better man for hope my new favorite couple and he’s younger and better looking sexy man .
Wouldn’t totally surprise me. After the mystery of his wife’s death was solved, Aiden hasn’t been too interesting or had much to do.
Before making a judgment, I would like to know exactly what Daniel said, word for word. Sometimes what a person says can be misunderstood or misconstrued. So as far as I am concerned, there is not enough information given here to draw a conclusion one way or the other.
YES BOPE ALL THE WAY I HAVE BEEN A 32 ADVOCATE FOR BO & HOPE!! SO MAGICAL WITH PETER AND KRISTIAN TOGETHER!! I AM SORRY IF DC WAS LET GO…
I will really miss Daniel / Aiden and Haiden. They were a spectacular couple with real chemistry. It is sad and I will not be watching Days anymore because this is just wrong.
Is this DOOL’s message that Peter Reckell has decided to stay on as Bo long term?
This is so very sad. Aiden and hope finally clicked. Hope’s passion for life – after years of dismal behavior and a lifelong fan (me) despising her — then along came Aiden.
This choice sickens me. Why bother to have given Hope ANYONE if they are just going to trash them…?
In addition, I don’t even want Bo back. Their story is long in history – who the heck cares about him anymore?
Is it true that the young actress that plays Ciara is being let go? She is so good – We’ve watch her grow up. I suppose they are doing the sudden age thing, but why not let her grow into the teen handful she is destine to be.
I hate to answer this like this, but I honestly couldn’t stabd Ciara until just recently. For years- and I’m taking in I consideration she was young and inexperienced- but it seemed she over-acted and felt like she was almost reading or being told what to say. The same – but FAR worse – goes for Chase. But. I do admit, Ciara did grow on me. I don’t know why bringing back Bo would bounce Ciara – um.. That’s their child 🙂 DUH? But Bo had his choice. Hope had finally stopped her brooding and whining about him being gone,… Read more »
I like Aiden and will miss the character, but am really happy to see Bo and Hope, and are pulling for their reunion. They are my favorite all time super couple!!!!
I will miss Aiden. Daniel and Kristian had wonderful chemistry.
They always get rid of the good ones.
I like hope and aiden together and Daniel cosgrove is a good actor.They alredy got rid of james scott and they seem to be getting rid of all the good people on days.
Please return sparks to relationships BO/HOPE.
Resign Peter R to at least 1-2? Years ..
Aden/hope dry romance!!
Well, I don’t want Aiden to stay if he is going to kill Hope and as I see it right now that’s his plan in order to get out of debt with Stefano. I want Bo and Hope back together at least for a while. If Peter is not staying I agree with other fans. Hope and Rafe would make a wonderful couple, but with the exit of James Scott (EJ) and Sami the Soap needs a power couple and Bo and Hope are just that couple. The writers need to take heed to the fans and write a story… Read more »

Photo: JPI
After getting a copy of the latest Soap Opera Digest on newsstand now, which features, “Who Killed Charlie?” on the cover, Manning shared in a post on Friday: Everybody has a motive to want this guy dead.” 😂 Not exactly how I pictured my first soap magazine cover, but at least we’re having a good time with it. It’s been fun Salem. I’ll love you all forever. ✌🏼💙. Thank you to NBC, to everyone involved, and most of all to the fans that were along for the ride w/ this crazy character. You’re amazing. I’ll always be grateful for you. Excited to share what’s next as soon as I can. Arrivederci. -Charlie/Mike”
So place your bets on who will turn out to be the murderer via the comment section below and let us know what you thoughts on Mike’s run on DAYS!
