For its last salvo this week, “Days Of Our Lives” (“DOOL”) centres on mystifying exits and anticipated comebacks. While Aiden (Daniel Cosgrove) is still holed up in a cabin with Hope (Kristian Alfonso), Rafe (Galen Gering) is busy digging up dirt about his rival.

Other “Days Of Our Lives” cast members who will figure prominently on the July 8 installment include Summer (Marie Wilson), Theresa (Jen Lilley), Brady (Eric Martsolf), Andre (Thaoo Penghlis), Chad (Billy Flynn) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer).
