After years of being estranged, former besties Gwen and Leo have made amends on Days of our Lives. They may not be fully back to best-friend mode, but they definitely have ulterior motives.
Key Takeaways
- Gwen and Leo’s reunion spells trouble, but for who?
- More than meets the eye with Leo and Gwen’s sudden reconnection.
- Why their friendship works.
Burying The Hatchet
DAYS fans were given a bit of a surprise when Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Gwen (Emily O’Brien) rekindled their friendship. Their living across the hall from each other at the Salem Inn gave the perfect opportunity to reunite these former pals.
Unfortunately, for the rest of Salem, these two are a scheming duo that tends to bring nothing but drama. Both Gwen and Leo are all about getting what they want and not letting anyone get in their way.
When they put their devious heads together, the schemes start flowing. The list of people who could feel their wrath is endless.
Although we must say that Gwen seems to be more vindictive right now than this new version of Leo. Javi (Al Calderon) certainly softened Leo, but something tells us Gwen might change that in him.
There’s also the possibility that the trouble the rekindled bonding between Gwen and Leo will bring will be to each other. After all, EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) freaking out that Gwen was living across the hall from Leo raised red flags.
EJ won’t let anyone come in the way of his latest project, bringing Lexie (Nikki Crawford) back from the dead. If Leo gets too close, he won’t hesitate to force Gwen to get rid of her pal. Leo could also find out the truth and simply blackmail Gwen, adding another layer to this reunion.
The Friendship DAYS Should Really Keep Going Strong
While we know that there has to be something else to Gwen and Leo’s sudden reconnection, we hope it’s the real deal. Before Leo ruined their bond by hooking up with Dimitri (Peter Porte) and falling in love with him, Gwen and Leo were thick as thieves.
They were both outsiders, so their having each other made their friendship special. DAYS has many strong friendships on the show, and Leo and Gwen used to be one of them.
Aside from that, let’s be honest, Rikaart and O’Brien are beyond entertaining to watch in any scenes. However, there’s something special about watching them bring out the vulnerable side to Gwen and Leo as only a true bestie can.
Whatever comes next, one thing is for sure. It will be fun to watch, especially if there’s more to this bestie reunion than meets the eye.
