While Daniel Cosgrove will be wrapping up his second run as Aiden Jennings on Days of our Lives shortly, the actor is about to star in a new TV series entitled Project Dad executive produced by none other than former soap star, Ricky Paull Goldin (Ex-AW, GL, AMC, and B&B).

Project Dad, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Original follows three celebrity dads as they step out of the spotlight and into the role of “mom” for 48 hours.  The series premieres on Discovery Life on November 1 at 7:00 p.m.

The Dad’s Donnell Rawlings (comedian, Chappelle’s Show), Daniel Cosgrove (actor, Days of Our Lives), and DJ Skribble (world-ranked disc jockey, MTV’s TRL) are left alone with their kids while their partners leave home for a few days. The series turns the camera on these three busy celebrity dads as they try to put their careers to the side and get to know their children. The dads struggle to balance caring for a home, parenting and pursuing a full-time career — on their own.

Project Dad will have viewers laughing, crying and relishing in the real life moments these dads have with their children,” said William J. Rouhana, Jr., executive chairman of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment. “The show adds to our library of inspirational and entertaining content, and we expect the show to resonate with all audiences. This is our second television series to air on a cable network in just two years, and we expect more to follow.

The concept of the series is based on the hit international series Return of Superman that was originally broadcast and owned by Korean Broadcasting System.  The hit series in South Korea has won more than 13 awards.

Ricky Paull Goldin along with Derek Britt of DB Goldline, William J. Rouhana, Jr. of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, and EunHui Jong of Critical Density Media, LLC are the series Executive Producers. Populus Brands manages the network agreement with Discovery Communications and oversees partnerships, media sponsorships, and trade out sales for the series.   The series will also air next year on TLC on January 5 at 5 p.m.

I dont have that channel so i wont see it…Aiden’s return was an epic fail-originally an Aiden and Hope pairing had possibilities until they darkened his character and killed him off only to bring him back in the tiresome double plotline that was meant as a filler to drag out getting Hope and Rafe together…my problem with this Rope pairing is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt!!!

Exactly, Jimmy. He might as well go away. I have developed such an antipathy for Aiden, I FF him.
I will catch a few minutes of Project Dad to get the gist of it. And, I love Ricky….haven’t seen him in a while.

Celia…A-M-E-N!!!!! Hey…I have nothing against May/December romances, but Rafe and Hope…No Thank You. And, at this point, Hope BORES ME TO TEARS!!!!! As for Dario, ‘YUCK’ IS RIGHT!!!!! More and more, there’s something about that Dario dude that TOTALLY ANNOYS me!!!!! Truly lame.

Later, my friend.

@jaybird369.
Hi, jayjay,
You bet. Hope brings Rafe down. I don’t see it. It’s not even the age difference so much. She’s just not a happy camper. She is a downer; a depressing, Eeyore-type perdon (Pooh’s friend?)…. it only rains on her. That dark cloud follows her everywhere. What a life!!
Rafe could have such a free-spirit-kind of life without all the darkness and complications Hope brings with her.
Her son left, again, jay….she didn’t even budge because she chose to involve herself with all the intrigue. She knew how evil Stefano was! Why not stay away….then she cries to Rafe and involves him.
She should have packed-it-in long ago. This spy-gallivanting thing is way past her ‘bedtime’. I think those crazy pills she took, a few years ago, are still in her system. LOL. she’s not 20 anymore and Rafe is not Bo. Can’t turn him into her ex.
Ciao, my friend.

you hit all the points

I just knew he was being written out…

oy… I need to let go already… when it’s clear DAYS is the Hope and Rafe show

as is GH… the Sonny and Carly show

couldn’t be any worse

anyway… Rafe needs to meet someone younger to bear his children… and be shown having fun

Right? I can’t stand the idea of Hope and Rafe as a couple.
I have said that Rafe needs children of his own for months now.
I remember him telling Sami how much he wanted kids ….I loved him with Sami.
I enjoyed watching all their scenes together….not EJ.
It’s sad to me how TPTB cannot find the perfect niche for Rafe. I thought he had a go with Blanca. But, she, too, comes with baggage . And of course, it’s Dario to the rescue. Yuck!!!! Why is he on the show, again?
Hope is such a ‘drag’? That’s what my Gran says, LOL. That’s a 60’s expression, yes? LOL.

I love hope and rafe together she dosnt look older than him never even drawd on me about the age different

what channel is it going too on

Will definitely be tuning in for this. Daniel Cosgrove is a fantastic actor. Glad he will be off Days soon. The writing for him was horrible. He was only used to prop Rope which is a failure as a couple. The backlash for this couple is worse than Daniel/Jennifer. They have very few fans and are hated by the majority. Days has lost 429k viewers since this time last year. I’m one of them.

I wish him luck. The subject of this new project holds no interest for me. I think Daniel Cosgrove is a very fine actor. I really enjoyed Aiden the first go round. I’m enjoying his work this time; but, the change in the character Aiden is sickening. Aiden and Hope were very cute together. I saw many story line possibilities for the relationship between the police detective and the defense attorney. Unfortunately, TPTB didn’t share my vision. Aiden has now turn into this disgusting, twisted, near delusional freak. I will be very glad to see Aiden and his rapist son Chase gone.

I love Daniel Cosgrove! Can’t wait!

I’m looking forward to the show as the concept is good though done before just not on a regular series with celeb dads…men usually appreciate their wives more after doing double duty which is an everyday thing for millions of moms…not to mention single moms in the world! As for Aiden, he’s too dark for my taste and now he seems more deranged and creepy…can’t wait for Hope to do him in!

great that Ricky produced a new show, I know he’s been doing them for a while and I hope he can keep adding his soap buddies to his shows. I wish he would put Beth Ehlers (Harley from Guiding Light) in one of his projects, they were amazing together.

Sounds OK if that’s of interest to you. Not for me tho. Not a Days fan, so no spill over interest for me to view this. Good luck to DC, tho.

I intend on watching and being supportive of these two very talented men , Daniel and Ricky Paul. I have worked with then both and know they will give 100 percent to this project. Can’t Wait!!

thank god he going to be off day of our live now hope and rafe and finley be happy was the best new if herd all day

They are the two most boring people on that show. Aiden was too good for her.

I love rafe and hope together aiden was so boring it would but you to sleep

Whatever…as long as he leaves DOOL this time…FOR GOOD!!!!! SAYONARA!!!!!

Wish Daniel great success. Days did a lousy job with Aiden’s return story. They should have reunited Haiden & used Rafe for angst, not the reverse. Haiden had undeniable chemistry and it is not something you can manufacture. Days made a huge mistake not keeping Cosgrove. This was the last straw for me. Anyway, Cosgrove is a fantastic actor & I wish him much success.

Kim… “thank you”

“…Haiden had undeniable chemistry and it is not something you can manufacture”

when production value goes by the wayside… and they PROP ??? favored actors and not the history of the show… especially what worked

Hope had magic, WITH Aiden… AFTER Bo… Peter Reckell… MADE Kristian Alfonso.. famous

she’s riding this out till death do us part

she’s a favored pet

so … Ken Corday… sit their and tell the audience that she’s your best pet

it’s written that Dena Higley is hotted out for Rafe

quality begets ratings and audience stir

agreed!!
rope looks good on paper but the true chemistry was haiden!! daniel and kristian had real connection … rope is forced.
after daniels last departure the audience cried foul and begged for his return…. and we get aiden just used again to force a rafe hope pairing…poor daniel… the fans got duped

The way Daniel Cosgrove was used and discarded by Days symbolizes the show’s problems. The Haiden romance had fans, and it was hatcheted so Dena could pair Hope up with her pet Rafe. Then, when she was on leave, the show tried to fix her mistake and bring Aiden back because many fans didn’t like the cheap, mean rewrite that made Hope look stupid.

Greg Meng had courted angry Haiden fans during the renewal negotiations with the promise of an Aiden return and they were happy and advocated for the show’s renewal. Then, Dena came back and the show treated Cosgrove and his fans like suckers. Eric and Greg Vaughn fans need to pay careful attention to the way that the show preyed on Cosgrove fans.

Cosgrove deserves much better than Days, and I’m glad he’s still working. Days deserves to be canceled for the way it treats its fans and actors who work hard and win those fans but don’t happen to play Dena Higley’s pets.

I like Danial a lot. Rafe bores me to death. To bring Aiden back to just demonize him even more turned me off the show. Hope and Rafe are boring . TIIC think fans want them together. Not me. I will see if I have this channel and try to remember to watch it.

Totally agree. Get rid of Hope and Rafe and keep Aiden!

Doesn’t interest me.

They ruined the Aiden character upon his return. Don’t really know why they brought him back.

I never did like Aiden the name is boring I remember when Ricky Paul was on Another Word he would be good on days of our lives I have missed him

Rafe was married to Hope’s niece! I think they’re an odd couple, along with Lucas and Adrienne.

Days Of Our Lives

Stephen Schnetzer Talks On His Return to Days of our Lives and Working with Susan Seaforth Hayes In Emotional Episodes

Who says you can’t go home again? In the case of Another World favorite, Stephen Schnetzer (ex-Cass Winthrop), he has proven that it is true, and you can go back to your soap roots and where it all started for you.

Last week on April 11th, Schnetzer, along with several other key returns were on set at Days of our Lives taping all-new episodes of the Peacock streaming soap opera, centering on the funeral of Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes), and as part of the iconic soap opera’s 15,000th episode.

Stephen is reprising his first daytime role as Steve Olson, the brother of Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes). The last time Schnetzer appeared on a DAYS set was during his one and only run on the show from 1978 to 1980. Clearly, viewers will be in for some very emotional scenes when Steve returns to Salem to be there for his sister, Julie in her time of need. In real-life, Susan has been going through her own grief, having just lost Bill back on January 12th at the age of 98.

Michael Fairman TV caught up with Stephen during the 15K episode celebration ceremony, and during a break from taping the gut-wrenching funeral scenes, to get his thoughts on being part of these highly-anticipated moments that will air later this year in December. Here’s what he shared with us below.

What has this been like for you to work with Susan Seaforth Hayes after all of these years?

STEPHEN: She’s a dream and she’s so bright. We ran lines yesterday and we ended up just visiting for about 45 minutes and just catching up and telling tales about each other’s career. She even dropped off the autobiography that she and Bill did. And being back here at DAYS, every time I turn a corner, there’s another familiar face. When I was on the show 40 more years ago, a bunch of the guys, played softball on a team together. This is really a trip down memory lane as I knew it would be.

Photo: JPI

Taping Doug’s funeral must be a hard day for Susan. Are you checking in with her to help hold her up through this?

STEPHEN: I am and I’m checking in with Amy Shaughnessy (Susan’s assistant), and she’s holding her up more than anybody. We’re there for each other.

There will obviously be some major hankie-inducing moments when Steve comes back to Salem to console his sister.

STEPHEN: Oh, wait till you see it in December. It’s going to be great.

Were you surprised you got this call to come back to the show decades later?

STEPHEN: It was out of the blue! I was completely surprised. They should have called me decades ago! That’s what surprised me. When Another World went down, I thought I’d land somewhere else and it never happened. That was more of a surprise.

Photo: JPI

Cass is such an identifiable character for you. As well, you and Linda Dano (ex-Felicia Gallant) are so synonymous together as best friends Cass and Felicia from Another World. When fans heard you were reprising your role as Steve Olson on DAYS, they are now hoping there will be more of you on the show to come.

STEPHEN: Steven Olson is a real “Cassian “character. I cut my teeth on Steve Olson and that’s how Cass was introduced. He was kind of a roguish charmer. And then when the character stuck for Another World, they rehabilitated me, and turned me into one of the shows heroes. And that’s what would’ve happened if I stayed as Steve Olson probably. So, Steve is the ‘pre-Cass’, Cass.

Photo: JPI

As the story goes, you originally decided to leave Days of our Lives?

STEPHEN: I was never on contract. I was doing a day and a half a week and I got a Broadway play directed by Franco Zeffirelli starring Joan Plowright and Frank Finlay. I was able to it as I didn’t have to break a contract or anything. I cut loose and went back to New York for that.

How well did you get to know Bill Hayes during your first time around on DAYS?

STEPHEN: My first episode was with Bill and Susan, as her long lost brother coming into Salem. They were so good to me. They were so kind. I had been doing eight years of classical repertory theater, never been in front of a camera. I tell everybody, it took me longer than any other actor I’ve ever seen to get comfortable in front of a camera. And they were very supportive at that time in my career. Coming back to honor Bill now in 2024, and to be see Susan, I am just so happy to be here.

Looking forward to seeing the scenes between Stephen and Susan Seaforth Hayes come December and Doug’s funeral and surrounding episodes? Do you hope that DAYS might bring the character of Steve Olson back for a longer stay? Comment below.
