Ugh why DOOL?? Why??? Out of all the actors and characters that you could bring back why waste time and space??? Why isn’t Eve and Will still on the canvas???? How much more can this fan take???

Whew ! LOL

I was waiting for this thread!

I was at the grocery store…. and lo and behold… !!!! brain teaser mind blown stunner

this has to be for the long term…. duration of ALL that’s GOOD in Salem

He’s the quintessential – ideal – dreamy leading man

Good! Now bring back Kassie DePaiva since it is her who needs to be on FT!

Honestly, I don’t care who Daniel Cosgrove plays, as long as they keep him around this time. He’s a great actor and brought real layers and complexity to the role of Aiden. He and Hope were awesome together, and I hated how the writers completely turned his character around and made him a scapegoat and attempted murderer.

If he’s a new character, here’s hoping he’ll play Peter Blake, Frankie Brady or Andrew Donovan.

for all the good news… and it’s revelatory still… DAYS continues to remain right up their with the 4 serial

until Kassie DePaiva WINS that best leading actress in a drama serial

ON THE LATEST ISSUE of Soap Opera Digest

picture of : Kristian Alfonso – Daniel Cosgrove – Kassie DePaiva

the byline under Kassie DePaiva : hopefully i’m recalling this correctly… but it’s close

“I was schocked… I Cried ” her exclamation at being fired

what gall and disrespect to the best of the best . Period !

for all the superlatives netted this outstanding woman…. she is always commended for her dedication to Daytime…. so… defining Kassie DePaiva as gracious, PLUS … is putting it mildly

OK.. i’m smarting from this…

I just think its a let down for all the resurgence going on in Salem….

Salute to Days of OUR Lives !

Aidens twin Caiden…real Aiden couldn’t kill Hope so Andre used mind control on Caiden to make him think he is Aiden and had him attempt to kill hope while Aiden was kept a prisoner but now Andre is using mind control on Aiden who thinks he is Caiden to make ghostly visits as Aiden to torment Hope but soon Aiden as Caiden will remember he is really Aiden but is caught by Rafe…Aiden tries to convince Rafe it was Caiden who pretended to be Aiden who attempted to kill Hope under Andres mind control and then Andre used Aiden as Caiden pretending to be Aiden to torment Hope but memories flooded back and he remembers he is Aiden not Caiden who pretended to be Aiden…Rafe remembers when he once had a double and is convinced now it was Caiden not Aiden who attempted to kill Hope as Aiden and that Aiden under mind control thinking he was Caiden pretending to be ghostly Aiden tormenting Hope when it was really Aiden not Caiden because Caiden died while pretending to be Aiden….lol

I’d love to see him back but I don’t think we’ll get that lucky. I bet it’s for a few dreams, maybe for Chase, or some flashbacks when it’s explained why he did what he did.

I like Danial C. Hope he is the Aiden twin. the son could use some family. Right now he is in trouble. Not law trouble but feeling terrible. He needs some family. Of course Andre will be doing something. to get Hope.. I would rather Hope be with Danial C than Rafe. I like Rafe fine , but just not with Hope.The show is awful right now. Wash rinse and repoeart. patch made to screw that pig. At least kayla has been saved but we know Sammi the second. no thanks. I never liked EJ for this before , and now I was just hoping Patch would have waterboarded that pig., to find out where she had kayla. She is something. Hits her in the hotel, and finds a place to put her where no one sees it, or hears her screaming. ? She is strong enough to carry her away also. ?.

This is great news. Daniel Cosgrove is a terrific actor who did a wonderful job with all the layers of Aiden. I was so disappointed that Aiden was killed. How I wish TPTB would find a new part for Daniel and bring him and the fantastic Kassie DePaiva back full time.

I really like Daniel Cosgrove and am sol glad he will be back. He was great on ATWT and Days! This should be an interesting turn of events no matter what character he plays!

Why….why… All of these returns? From death, far off places, cmon…its hella OLD I am ready for Andre to go.. He’ll bring back EJ if anyone.

Awwww, C’mon!!!! Seriously?

I love this news! I just hope it is not in the form of a ghost and permanent. I hope he is not paired with KA as she will be forever cursed by Bope fans. They will never accept her with anyone but Bo even though PR made it clear he does not want to come back. Give DC a new younger love interest. Rope can continue on with their 3 fans. Lol

Aiden is boring and I hope his return is short! Hopefully, a ghost!

I wondered if he would since they have featured chase so munc.

Days needs to do something to excite the show. Don’t know if this is it, but we’ll see. So tired of the boring teen stories. These teens ARE NOT Shawn, Belle, Philip, Chloe, Mimi–the actors who played these characters could actually act. This new crew is horrible–nuCiara especially. She ruins every scene she’s in. I know that’s harsh, but I am just so tired of her and having her on the show. RECAST STAT!

Bringing back characters, or at least actors, when we were told it wouldn’t be happening…. gives me hope that the death of Will Horton will be reversed, and that he will be coming back with either Guy Wilson or someone new.

Glad he is coming back. Liked him and I can’t wait to see the storyline. I liked him with Hope, better than Rafe….Good actor…

So happy for this news. I was sad to see him go and look forward to his return. Hopefully it is for good!! Love him!

GREAT NEWS….GREAT ACTOR……

Well if Aiden, Will, Serena, Paige, Bo and Daniel all end up alive on some island of Stefano’s that be fine by me. I also would like Stefano to be alive too– he can meet his maker in some way later, it just never sat right with me that Hope murdered him even under distress. Personally I always thought Stefano who cheated death a million times over the years should die in some simple way, like choking on a grape — to me that would have been poetic justice for the Phoenix– done in by a piece of fruit.

Maybe it’s either to play Aiden’s evil Twin brother (that no one ever knew about) or it’s just to do some nightmare dream sequence – who knows – it’s all speculation on our parts I suppose. At any rate, he is a good actor, have liked him since his days on All My Children so if he returns it’s a-ok with me.
Will be interesting to see what develops.

For months I would only tune into “Days” to hear Mac Carey and hopefully see a scene with Daniel Cosgrove or James Read. This is very good news and I hope it is a long term role.

I liked Aiden and hate that his character was killed.

thank you days for listening to the fans!!!! daniel made it impossible not to root for aiden in his final DAYS! Daniel is so charming and lovable, him and hope had amazing chemistry.
i hope his stay is permanent..

Hopefully he’s playing a new character, and please not a ghost.

On a random side note here, Victor’s brother shows up claiming something about Victor’s fiancee and 30 years ago. In REAL soap time, Victor K showed up on the Salem canvas 31 years ago, in 1985. So there’s that. Second, the son of Victor K, Phillip, was rapidly aged, and graduated high school in 2002, which was 14 years ago, which would logistically make the character of Phillip 32. However, with the rapid aging of Claire, Phillip is closer to 40 now. So…..at what point 30 years ago did this mystical fiancee of Victor’s exist? 30 years ago, Victor would have been married to Kate. Or fending Vivian off. Victor has been in Salem for approximately 40 years, storyline time wise. So this brother thing just rings completely false. Maybe if it was 50 years ago, but who would care? I wish writers would have as much memory, reverence, and knowledge of the backstories of characters as we the fans have. It’s always great to hire another Emmy winner, but to saddle him with a character that makes NO sense right out of the starting gate is just unfair handicapping. cough cough Michelle Stafford cough Roger Howarth.

Just as the chemistry between Hope and Aiden was blossoming they killed him off. That was too bad, but I thought may be they did it to bring Bo back, but then they killed him off. Perhaps, they wanted to bring Hope and Rafe together to tighten up and tie together some lead actors/characters. I think Rafe and Hope may be fine and even good together- I can even see them together in the sense that they are both on the police force, etc., but I was disappointed how they dealt with Aiden as I said just when the chemistry with Hope was blooming. Days tends to do this they either abruptly end things or drag things out too long – there needs to be a balance. With that said, you start to invest in a relationship or character, and then they are gone, so it takes awhile for something else to build, and my tendency is to tune out and stop watching for awhile until something else peaks my interest. I understand that Days wants to keep shaking things up, making changes in relationships, etc. because they may be concerned that the relationships get boring, people lose interest, and they want to keep it fresh, etc., but often the timing to end something is off. I understand that some of it may be because of contractual issues, or other behind the scene logistics, but they need to have a better sense of the pulse and ‘read’ the situation, so they do not destroy something just as it is getting good or better. If you are engrossed in a relationship, don’t cut it off at the knees. I am all for trying new things, moving things around, making changes, introducing new characters, keeping it exciting to see what will happen next, so the show does not get stale, but again don’t cut it off just as you are getting invested. That would be like reading a novel, and just as the plot or a relationship starts to develop, and you want to see more of where it will go, the book is taken away from you. Then it disorients you, and takes awhile to get back in the saddle because you have to start a new. So Days let’s have some stability with plot and character growth and development with a core group of characters and storylines, and then add in some new characters, and make some nuances of change to keep all interesting, but don’t keep reinventing the wheel, or throw the baby out with the bath water. It is exhausting, frustrating, and disappointing at times. Let things sizzle to keep whetting our appetites.

I loved him! So glad to hear he is coming back; hopefully for a long time.

I hope he doesn’t stay long. Never liked his character.

Sorry, but Days was great in the Fall. The writers have gotten awful this winter and adding so many characters spells the same old same old with Days decline, ruining long standing loved characters to prop up a bunch of unknowns.

Right now I find this Jan – Feb on Days its worst in 6 months.

What happened? Where is Corday’s promise of a return to caring about the characters and integrity? What happened to all that talk of great writing.

This Jan, this Feb so far is really bad writing.

…… And THIS is why I quit Days again. I knew I’d only last a short while @ Bo’s death. The show is horrible. Hate the recasts, teen stories and everything else. Not even Stephen & MaryBeth can keep me watching anymore. I quit for 7 years and I’m quitting again.

Excuse me, but didn’t Ken Corday practically guarantee that anyone killed from the point of the 50th anniversary on would remain dead? In my mind NOTHING has been worse for soaps than the trend of killing off characters and then bringing them back. Just, lame.

BUT, maybe Hope will simply be hallucinating. At least that wouldn’t be as bad. (And I totally appreciated Haiden, JUST cannot stand the idea of the back from the dead when the character was killed onscreen!)

I thought it was said once an actor was dead, they were going to not bring them back. So what’s up with this, I don’t get it.

I am glad to hear this news.I think Daniel Cosgrove is a great actor.I really liked Aiden and Hope together until they had him turn into a nutcase.I was really hoping for a longterm relationship between Aiden and Hope.It is going to be interesting to see what happens when Daniel Cosgrove returns… who will his character be?
