Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Gwen Rizczech Teams Up with EJ DiMera Against Steve Johnson

GWEN’S BACK WITH A VENGEANCE: EJ’S NEW SECRET WEAPON TARGETS STEVE JOHNSON

Salem’s Most Dangerous Schemer Returns July 7 – And She’s Not Playing Nice

Just when Salem thought it was safe, Gwen Rizczech is storming back into town with revenge on her mind and the DiMera empire at her back! Mark your calendars for July 7, 2025, because this isn’t just any return – Gwen has aligned herself with none other than EJ DiMera, and their first target is already in the crosshairs.

The Alliance That Changes Everything

Here’s what we know: EJ DiMera is facing threats from every direction. His empire is under siege, his enemies are closing in, and he needs someone ruthless enough to do his dirty work. Enter Gwen Rizczech – the woman who once faked a miscarriage to destroy her own sister’s life.

She’s perfect for the job.

Sources confirm that Gwen will be doing EJ‘s bidding, gathering intel and neutralizing threats to the DiMera legacy. But this isn’t just about business. Gwen has always craved acceptance from powerful families, and after acquiring substantial wealth from her ex Dimitri von Leuschner, she’s returning to Salem as a force to be reckoned with. The girl who once schemed from the shadows now has the resources to play with the big boys.

Steve Johnson in the Crosshairs

Steve Johnson should be watching his back. The private investigator has been a thorn in the DiMeras’ side for decades, and now he’s got a new enemy who plays even dirtier than Stefano ever did. Gwen‘s mission? Sabotage Steve‘s investigations and stop him from uncovering whatever secrets EJ is desperately trying to hide.

But here’s where it gets really twisted. Gwen isn’t just going to confront Steve head-on. She’s smarter than that. She knows the best way to destroy someone is from the inside out – and she has the perfect weapon at her disposal.

Using the Past as a Weapon

Remember Gwen and Xander Kiriakis? Their romance was passionate, toxic, and completely destructive. They lied for each other, schemed together, and shared the kind of connection that never really goes away. Now Xander is happily married to Sarah Horton, raising their daughter Victoria, and trying to be a better man.

Too bad Gwen doesn’t believe in redemption stories.

The buzz around Salem suggests Gwen will use their romantic history to manipulate Xander. She knows exactly which buttons to push, which memories to resurrect, and which weaknesses to exploit. Will she try to seduce him? Blackmail him with their shared secrets? Or maybe she’ll go after what he loves most – his family with Sarah.

The DiMera-Kiriakis Feud Explodes

This isn’t just about Gwen settling old scores. By targeting Xander, she’s escalating the decades-old war between the DiMera and Kiriakis families. EJ knows exactly what he’s doing by sending Gwen after his rivals. It’s a calculated move that could destroy multiple lives in one devastating blow.

Think about it: If Gwen succeeds in manipulating Xander, she doesn’t just hurt him. She destroys Sarah‘s happiness, potentially breaks up their family, and gives the DiMeras leverage over the entire Kiriakis empire. It’s brilliant. It’s ruthless.

It’s exactly what we’d expect from EJ DiMera.

What This Means for Salem

The ripple effects of this alliance are going to be massive. Gwen‘s friendship with Leo Stark could bring him into the fold – imagine those two scheming together with DiMera resources behind them! Jack Deveraux and JJ Deveraux will have to face their problematic family member once again. And what happens when Gwen crosses paths with her other ex, Chad DiMera?

The possibilities are endless, and they’re all explosive.

Fans are already taking sides. Some believe Gwen‘s alliance with EJ will finally give her the power and recognition she’s always craved. Others think this partnership is doomed from the start – after all, loyalty has never been Gwen‘s strong suit. How long before she turns on EJ and makes a play for the DiMera fortune herself?

The Storm That’s Coming

One thing’s certain: Salem will never be the same after July 7. Gwen Rizczech is returning with a vengeance, armed with wealth, backed by EJ DiMera, and ready to destroy anyone who gets in her way. Steve Johnson is first on her hit list, but he won’t be the last. And when she sets her sights on Xander, using their complicated past as ammunition?

Sarah better be ready for the fight of her life. Because Gwen doesn’t just want to win – she wants to annihilate everything in her path. The question isn’t whether she’ll succeed.

The question is: who will be left standing when the dust settles?
