'Days of our Lives' Preview: How did Aiden Survive?

This week on Days of our Lives, Hope (Kristian Alfonso) is stunned when she sees her presumed dead husband, Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove). How did Aiden survive?

Daniel Cosgrove tells Soap Opera Digest, "He has a lot of explaining to do and he wants an opportunity to do that. He's taken to the police station and doesn't want to talk to anybody but Hope. Aiden wants to connect with Hope as soon as he can and explain everything. She saw Aiden zipped up and put into a body bag, so he understands that there is a lot of craziness associated with his return."

The May 9 episode of DAYS, focuses solely on what happened the night Bo (Peter Reckell) supposedly killed Aiden. Aiden recalls that on his wedding night, he couldn't go through with killing Hope. When Aiden tried to leave Hope's house, he came face to face with his double. As Aiden tried to process what was happening, Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) arrived on the scene and ordered the impostor to murder Hope. Aiden was knocked out and later awakened to find himself in a cage.

At the police station, Aiden gets a chance tell his story to Hope. Aiden insists that it was an impostor who tried to murder her while he was held captive in a cell by Stefano and Andre. Aiden also reveals that prior to being kidnapped, he had been secretly working with Stefano.

"Aiden wants to come clean with Hope and be completely honest," says Cosgrove. "He tries to clarify anything that confuses Hope. Aiden's biggest wish is that he wakes up from this nightmare and gets back to where he was with Hope."

However, it may not be that easy. Hope still believes he is an impostor, and things get even stranger. Roman (Josh Taylor) and Rafe (Galen Gering) are told that Aiden's fingerprints have vanished from the file and therefore cannot be compared to the man claiming to be Aiden.

Warning: Spoilers ahead...

Thaao Penghlis Book "Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives" Out July 15

General Hospital and Days of our Lives star Thaao Penghlis has penned a memoir and travel diary, "Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives."

The book, which releases on July 15, weaves his deep Greek and Australian heritage with Hollywood escapades and captivating journeys to places few visit. Penghlis, born and raised in Sydney, Australia to Greek parents, moved to New York City after high school, where he began studying with the great acting coach, Milton Katselas. He pursued a career as an actor to fund his unyielding desire for spiritual and exotic travel and became one of daytime television’s most enduring characters on “Days of Our Lives.”

The Los Angeles Greek consul hailed the book, saying, "Thaao Penghlis combines the best of 3 worlds: His Greek origin gave him the spirit of Ulysses and the wisdom to enjoy the journey. His Australian upbringing graced him with a deep and philosophical sense of humor, and his life and work as an actor in [the] United States and especially in Los Angeles led him to a brilliant career and a better knowledge of himself and the demanding art of acting. His book is as exciting as his life and leaves us with a positive feeling of how many things we can achieve when we dare to follow our dreams."

Penghlis will be holding book readings and signings, including one at the Diesel store in Santa Monica on July 20.

The actor is best known for his daytime soap opera roles as Tony DiMera on Days of our Lives and Victor Cassadine in General Hospital.
