Days Spoilers – Goodbye Gwen O’Brien, Hello Theresa Donovan!
O’Brien has played Gwen since June 2020. She first entered the land of Salem wrapped in mystery, although it was clear she had some bad blood for Abigail Deveraux (Marci Miller).
As her story went on, it was revealed that she was Jack Deveraux’s (Matthew Ashford) illegitimate daughter, thus being Abby’s half-sister.
More than just having sibling resentment, Gwen’s a complicated character, as she’s done some awful things in the past, but has desperately tried to change her ways.
She’s currently embroiled in an interesting storyline that involves a unique love triangle of sorts, as she was duped into marriage by Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte), with her BFF Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) in the know and having an affair with her hubby.
According to reports, it looks like Emily will enter the Theresa role at some point in the days or weeks ahead.
