That's why it makes no sense to me that Aiden had to become evil and be killed off to make the Bope reunion happen.
If we got the love triangle we expected, I bet Hope would have picked Bo over Aiden.
It's not an either/or situation of just those two options. I think that was just the story pitched and it had nothing to do with her eventual love interest.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I still find a cover story fairly impressive. Like I said, I could be wrong, but I still think there are several things indicating that this is more than just a ghost story or dream sequence. Guess we will know soon enough. If KA & DC are getting a second chance at Haiden I am thrilled for them, otherwise I will enjoy as much DC as I can get.
You might find it impressive and you also may be right. That doesn't change the fact that they often have misleading covers done exactly the way you're hoping they haven't done this time. It could be a bigger thing this time, but their covers are misleading probably 75% of the time.
Like I said, I will take what Aiden can get. Just as much reason to think I am right than I am wrong at this point.
There is. I'm more debating the sod thing than how they're going to use Aiden.

Aiden needed to be a threat to *Hope,* so Bo would have something to rescue her from.

If not him, then some other threat. But making it him did the double duty of clearing the field for Bo in the time allowed.

Aiden was killed off because the show neither wanted, nor had time, for a triangle. PR was back for only a very limited time. The show wanted to give Bo the hero moment, reunited Bo and Hope, and give them a goodbye. That could not have happened if Hope was with Aiden when Bo returned. There was no time to do a triangle that would have been anything more than Hope just telling Aiden goodbye when Bo returned. It would not have been a story, and would have made Hope look pretty shitty.

It's just not that complicated. If Dena wanted Rafe and Hope together, she would have just broken up Hope and Aiden over his gambling debts or something. She's done that crap a million times to other couples. Hell, Dena would have wanted a triangle with Rafe coming out on top.

This was done because of Bo, not Rafe.

It would be a cruel joke to his fans to put DC's return on the cover of the magazine if it's just as a guest stint as a ghost. But I imagine they don't care to upset fans as long as they buy the magazine.

I think it's possible Aiden is alive. I mean we all know the reason why Aiden was made a murderer and killed off, it's because of Higley. She wanted to pair her pet Rafe with the heroine. But Higley never returned from her LOA so that reason is gone.
We do not all know that.
Right, semantics. Let me reformulate: I am convinced Higley's desire to pair Rafe with Hope is the reason why Aiden was made a murderer and killed off. :)
It's not semantics. I flat out don't think that's true no matter how you word it lol.
I think the way I worded it was a problem. I shouldn't speak for everyone. But I believe what I believe, I might be wrong about that and other things but until I get new informations, I won't change my mind.

If it is more than a short-term thing and Aiden is alive, I don't want him with Hope. Haiden had potential- detective with a defense attorney, but they did nothing with that. All they did was have sex in the hotel room and talk at HTS. They were boring. I liked Aiden, but they should make him a gray character and not the good guy he was before the new writers took over ( Meredith mystery, notwithstanding).

There was time, we could have had Bo returning to Salem in September already. Higley and Griffith wasted the first 2 months of PR's stint, it seemed more important to them to spend those 2 months destroying Aiden's character.

I'd like to see him work for the DiMera's maybe. They could use another person in the fold there so Andre doesn't walk around talking to himself and random servants.

What was important to them was having the reunion/rescue on the actual 50th. Nothing to do with Aiden. Nothing to do with Rafe.

I wonder if we're getting a flashback with DC's stint. Maybe Meredith didn't die the way we were told or maybe she faked her death because she was afraid of him or someone else. It occurred to me that the writers may want to move Chase out of the Bope house. It may be a reveal about how Meredith really died or about Chase becoming unhinged. I wonder if Chase sets the fire in Hope's house. The bullying thing with Chase strikes me as the beginning of him melting down.

ETA: I just realized how unconnected those two ideas sound.

Let's hope she gets back to the core of who she is. I'm not liking this stepford wife version.
I miss the unredeemed version of Theresa, hoping for a return of her soon.
nothing wrong with character redemption....it's nice to see change....hoping more change for the better is coming.... but no Daniel's heart in Brady causing the change please

As lysie already said, the timing was about the 50th anniversary. They wanted Bo's big hero moment to occur on that date. I don't disagree that they misused PR's limited time by having him away for so long, but that's because they wanted to build up to the big moment on the 50th. That was the big thing, not finding a way to put Rafe with Hope. They absolutely didn't need to destroy Aiden for that to happen. But, it did need to happen for them to have the big return/rescue/reunion they wanted for Bo and Hope.

There was a commercial today on tv for the new Copyright Violation/Post will be removed mag. It showed that Daniel Cosgrove is coming back. It also had an article about Hope's house fire and about KDP's exit from DOOL. I didn't catch what the date was on the Copyright Violation/Post will be removed mag. But it has to be next weeks?.
EDIT Sorry I forgot that you can't mention the name of magazine. I apologize.
No need to apologize. That's mostly to keep people from starting threads. I know it's awkward and weird, but it's not actually a problem to mention them. That's just the only way I could find to solve the problem.
Uh, I am somewhat in the dark as to which mag she is referring to. I would like to know so I can be on the lookout and load it to my tablet.

Yeah. I wish they'd started his return later and kept him through Christmas. But I don't think that matched his schedule.

DC got so much airtime during his final weeks on the show, a lot more than PR. Why did the writers spend so much time assassinating this character? It was not necessary for the rescue to happen on the 50th.

We're missing something obvious here though. With the kick off of a Griffith story repeat from Y&R and the return of a character (I think there are some more returns coming too) we may finally be on our way out of Dena'a reign of terror. Dena's stuff kicked in around the time the fallout of Aiden and Bo and Ben should have started...so maybe we'll get to hit some of those kisses beats? Maybe?

The only way I see her reverting back to her old ways is if she has to do it to save Brady or Tate.
