'Days of Our Lives' spoilers for week of Oct. 24: Aiden moves on from Salem

A promotional still from "Days of Our Lives" featuring the character Aiden NBC

"Days of Our Lives" will see some big changes in its cast in this week. Fans will recall that in the Monday episode Aiden (Daniel Cosgrove) tried to force himself on Hope (Kristian Alfonso), blackmailing her to go out on a date with him. By the end of the week, this is going to backfire on him and fans will have to say goodbye to Aiden.

According to Soap She Knows, by the Tuesday episode, Hope and Aiden will indeed be going out, but things are not going to go according to Aiden's plans. He will be taking things too far, and it is revealed that Hope will confront him and tell him that he is just as pushy as Chase (Jonathon McClendon).

Taking this realization, he will decide to leave Hope alone. Spoiler reports suggest that Aiden is not just going to stop blackmailing Hope, but he is going to leave Salem entirely, opting to head out of town and go to Oregon. While he's there, he is stated to reunite with Rafe (Galen Gering). He won't be able to make it to the Halloween fundraiser on the Friday episode.

The report reveals that, while Aiden is leaving Salem, someone else is coming back. It is stated that Dr. Valerie Grant (Vanessa Williams) will be making a return as she sees visits Abe (James Reynolds). Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) then announces that Valerie came back to perform Abe's surgery.

With Valerie returning, old love flames are said to reignite, and those involved with Valerie in the past will have the chance to reconnect and catch up with her. Theo (Kyler Pettis) is the only one who does not approve of Valerie's return. While he acknowledges that his father needs treatment, he sees Valerie as a threat to his efforts to reconnect with his father because of their past relationship.
