On the August 20 episode of Days of our Lives, Gwen told Kayla she still intends to buy the hospital from EJ. EJ sounds just as confident that he’ll keep his property. Could this be his plan to come out on top?
Key Takeaways
- EJ is determined to keep Salem University Hospital despite Gwen’s plans to buy it.
- Gwen may have enough leverage over EJ to force him into making a deal.
- EJ and Gwen’s mutual secrets could give them an unexpected reason to join forces.
EJ Isn’t Ready to Give Up the Hospital
Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) wanted to know if Gwen (Emily O’Brien) still wants to buy Salem University Hospital from EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). To do that, Gwen needs to get EJ on board. He’s already told Rita (Maggie Carney) he plans to hold onto the place where he and Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) developed a cure for the little malady known as death. Just imagine what else he could do!
Gwen May Have the Key to Dealing with EJ
Gwen figures that with what she knows about EJ’s underhanded dealings, it will be a cinch to get him to sign over the hospital. And yet, when offered the chance to testify against her one-time brother-in-law to Rafe (Galen Gering) and Jada (Elia Cantu), Gwen kept mum. Which suggests she has a plan of her own. We suspect there will be blackmail in EJ’s future.
Could EJ and Gwen Make a Deal That Benefits Them Both?
But EJ is pretty good at blackmail himself. He’s got secrets Gwen doesn’t want revealed, either. Not that he’s eager to share them with the police. So they’re at a stalemate. And an opportunity to collaborate. They’re in a state of mutual assured destruction.
But also mutual potential benefit. What if EJ and Gwen team up? And what better way to make it official than to… get married. Purely business, of course. Gwen will be eligible for even more DiMera money, then, and EJ will have shut up his biggest detractor. And who knows what might happen next….?
