On Days of our Lives, Gwen is back in Salem and once again living in the kind of chaos that seems to follow her like perfume. Her fortune disappeared the moment Dimitri regained control of it, Melinda refused to handle her divorce case, and her latest project involves Dr. Rolf bringing people (and rats) back to life. Amid all that chaos is Leo, someone Gwen insists she wants nothing to do with anymore. Dimitri destroyed their friendship, and Gwen essentially erased Leo from her life. The twist is that Leo might be the only one left who can actually help her.
Key Takeaways
- Leo currently has leverage over Dimitri because he remains one of the few people still willing to help him.
- Leo could use that leverage to demand that Gwen receive a share of Dimitri’s fortune.
- A deal like that could help repair Gwen and Leo’s broken friendship.
- Gwen and Leo previously worked well together as chaotic allies in Salem.
- Reuniting them could give both characters a much-needed partner again.
Leo Holds the Leverage
Right now, Leo (Greg Rikaart) is caught up in Dimitri’s (Peter Porte) latest overseas disaster, in Alamania. This is exactly where things could change for him. Dimitri might still have money, but his list of allies keeps shrinking every day.
Gwen (Emily O’Brien) wants revenge, Salem would gladly see Dimitri disappear again, and Leo remains one of the few people willing to stand in the same room with him. That alone gives Leo something he rarely has in these situations: leverage.
If Leo decided to use it, the deal could be straightforward. Dimitri gets Leo’s help with proving his innocence in the kidnapping of The DiMeras, but only if Gwen receives a large share of Dimitri’s fortune. Dimitri has always been driven by survival first and pride second, which means he might actually consider it if the alternative is facing his problems alone.
Gwen and Leo Were Better Together
Before Dimitri ruined their friendship, Gwen and Leo were some of the most entertaining besties Salem ever had. Their unique brand of chaos worked because they understood each other’s instincts. And their equally sharp wits made for some truly entertaining banter. Both of them usually preferred mischief over moral purity, making them unpredictably unpredictable in the best possible way.
If Leo managed to force Dimitri to share the money, it could help mend the rift between them. Gwen would finally regain some stability, and Leo would prove he hadn’t completely abandoned her when things got tough.
More importantly, it would give both of them something they currently lack: a partner. Salem tends to work best when the schemers team up, and Gwen and Leo together are far more entertaining than either of them flailing alone.
