The Days Of Our Lives Alien Storyline Explained

The "Days of Our Lives" alien storyline started in 2002 when teenagers Belle Back (Kirsten Storms) and Shawn Brady (Jason Cook) watched a meteor shower together (via Daytime Confidential). While outside gazing at the sky, the duo encountered a rounded object that landed nearby. Inside the vessel were two young people, who were later revealed to be twins Rex (Eric Winter) and Cassie (Alexis Thorpe). The two were dressed in skimpy, silver ensembles and couldn't speak English.

Belle and Shawn believed the two, later dubbed the Gemini Twins, to be aliens from another planet. The high school students tried to hide Rex and Cassie's existence, gave them clothes, and even taught them some English words, per Soaps.com. The storyline was proving to be one of the wildest in "DOOL" history. However, the news about the twins soon got out when the duo was found by the ISA, which is when the real drama started.
