Found this on soapcentral.com. No idea who the actor is or who Aiden will be.

via from CBS Soaps In Depth website:

Soap-hopper Daniel Cosgrove (Chris, AS THE WORLD TURNS; Bill, GUIDING LIGHT; Scott, ALL MY CHILDREN) is settling into a new daytime address, this time in Salem! Beginning in late January, the actor will be portraying DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Aiden, which will actually be the first time he'll be creating an original character from scratch instead of stepping into another performer's shoes as a recast

He used to come out on 90210 on the last couple of seasons. He was Matt, Kelly's boyfriend.

I couldn't stand him on 90210.

Wonder who his character will be involved with. Thanks for the info wendylou.

He's quite cute. Thanks for the info wendylou and the photo Minako98. Bet he has something to do with Jordan.

[wendylou]

Thanks for posting the pic Minako98. I have seen him before. I agree that he's probably going to be associated with Jordan. I saw somewhere else that he will begin appearing in January. When I first saw this I thought maybe he was starting to shoot in Jan. which would mean he wouldn't show up for several months.

He's ok looking, not my type though... hope his role is interesting.

Three-soap vet Daniel Cosgrove is adding another show to his résumé. The two-time Daytime Emmy nominee has joined the cast of NBC's Days of our Lives in a newly created role. Cosgrove previously appeared on All My Children, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light.
Two-time Daytime Emmy nominee Daniel Cosgrove has joined the cast of Days of our Lives in the newly created role of Aiden. Though Cosgrove is a multi-soap vet, his role on DAYS will be a first for him.


"This is the first time that I've ever played a daytime character that wasn't played by someone else," Cosgrove told Soap Opera Digest.


Cosgrove first appeared on All My Children in 1996 in the role of Scott Chandler. Two years later, the actor left Pine Valley for a more prestigious zip code -- 90210. Cosgrove's stint on the FOX primetime soap Beverly Hills, 90210 also lasted two years.


From there, Cosgrove took a trip through two daytime drama series, the now-cancelled Guiding Light and As the World Turns. On Guiding Light, Cosgrove earned two Daytime Emmy nominations for his work as Bill Lewis. Shortly after Guiding Light's cancellation, Cosgrove took on the role of Christopher Hughes on ATWT. Cosgrove remained with As the World Turns through its final episode in September 2010.


Later that same year, Cosgrove rejoined All My Children. Like his stints on ATWT and GL, Cosgrove's time on AMC ended when the show aired its final episode in September 2011.


Hoping to put an end to his streak of unlucky Septembers, Cosgrove actually started work on Days of our Lives way back in September. As fans may know by now, Days of our Lives tapes episodes several months in advance of the show's airdate. That means that Cosgrove will first air in January 2014.

I know his work well watched him on 90210, AMC, ATWT. Apparently he was best on GL...I never watched that one though.

He's "old" now.

What is up with Days hiring all these 40 something guys? Do they realize that EJ is the only straight man in town in the 20s-30s age bracket?

Where is mikey to comment on this??? Is your prophecy coming true?

LOL! I actually did a blog post about this because I'm worried it's the death knell for Days, what with Cosgrove having been on GL, ATWT, and AMC all when they were cancelled! I like him, though. He plays wry and funny well -- I hope they don't make him another Daniel/Liam/Rafe/Eric. Maybe he's the guy Jordan is on the run from and can be a real bad guy.

That is my fear as well, that he will be assimilated into the Days machine and be another of their stock good guys.

[fluffysmom]

Maybe he's a short term character.
