However, during the couples' nearly four-decade love story, there have been many ups and downs.

However, one of Hope’s most memorable relationships was with Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove).

The character appeared as the father of Chase Jennings, one of Ciara Brady’s childhood classmates.

Ciara had been bullying Chase though, so he and Ciara’s mother Hope discussed the situation.

Hope and Aiden didn’t get started in a positive way.

During the meeting, Aiden accused Hope of poor parenting, which upset her.

The two went their separate ways but continued to bump into each other and butt heads.

Eventually, Hope and Aiden’s feelings began to soften and the two became friends.

Finally, Hope mailed divorced papers and agreed to begin a romance with Aiden.

Hope later found a recording of Meredith claiming that Aiden had been trying to kill her.

In his desperation, Aiden then attempted to blackmail Hope into getting back together.

He also found out about Chase’s behavior.

Aiden certainly left fans feeling confused about his true intentions.
