Kristian Alfonso and Daniel Cosgrove

Days of Our Lives' Kristian Alfonso recently spoke to about.com about the the popularity of Hope and Aiden, why fans were confused about the status of Bo, Hope moving on, working with Daniel Cosgrove, and exciting developments ahead for the couple known as Haiden.

When asked how she feels about the popularity of Hope and Aiden, Alfonso responds, "It makes me very happy. I so sincerely and with a full heart thank the fans for being so amazing and incredibly supportive. It really does mean the absolute world to me. I know it was difficult for them. They didn't know if Peter was coming back or if he wasn't coming back. I knew he wasn't coming back and everyone at the show knew he wasn't coming back, but then it was very confusing because he'd tweet something different out... Anyway, I know it's been difficult for the fans. I’m so thrilled that they are accepting Hope and Aiden as a possibility on their screens."

Alfonso responds, "Oh my God, yes. Absolutely I think Hope has been more than patient. It's not even as if she can hear Bo's voice. There's no communication whatsoever," when asked if it's time for Hope to move on.

Alfonso really enjoys working with Daniel Cosgrove. Alfonso says, "I am always happy to see him walk through the door. He comes in with a smile. He's excited. He wants to run lines. We're always talking, 'So what do you think? Do you think this is going to happen?' We're always trying to figure out what's going to happen [next]. He'll say, 'Have you heard anything?' I'll say, 'I haven't. Have you heard anything?' We're both on the same team. He's a great addition [to the show].

Says Kristian about the future of Hope and Aiden, "Let me put it this way, the way the writers are writing this, which I so adore is… I can't say, because then I’ll give stuff away. I can say how thrilled I am about the dialogue, the story... Everything. I'm just so incredibly pleased. I love the story so much. I love what Hope is discovering about herself. I love what's happening with Aiden and how his character is being written. I love the kids [inclusion] and how they're interacting... I'm thrilled to pieces that we've now taken another road."
