To Tell the Days of our Lives Truth: Did Jack Deveraux Handle Gwen Wrong?

Jack and Gwen have always had a complicated relationship on Days of our Lives. He didn’t know she existed. She didn’t know that he didn’t know she existed. So she wanted to punish him for not knowing that she existed. Gwen hurt Jack’s other daughter, Abigail. Gwen hurt Jack’s wife, Jennifer. Jack got angry.

But then he forgave Gwen (Emily O’Brien). He felt guilty for not knowing she existed. But now Abigail is dead. Jennifer is in rehab. Jack (Matthew Ashford) is alone. And he just found out Gwen would rather protect Xander (Paul Telfer) than do what Jack thinks is the right thing. So Jack cut Gwen out of his life. Did he go too far?
