Days of Our Lives Spoilers: EJ Betrays Gwen Rizczech as She Braces to Be Next
Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal Gwen Rizczech arming herself against EJ DiMera as his war on his own family turns dangerous and personal.
TL;DR: Gwen Rizczech saw EJ’s double cross coming and armed herself first. With Kristen in his sights, is Gwen the next to vanish, or the one enemy EJ cannot touch?
The Double Cross That Started The War
The latest Days of Our Lives spoilers put a target on one of Salem’s shrewdest schemers, and Gwen Rizczech is not the type to sit around and wait to become a victim. When EJ DiMera reneged on their fifty fifty deal over the resurrection serum that brought his sister Lexie back from the dead, Gwen did not waste time crying about it. She bid to buy Salem University Hospital right out from under him, then handed her oldest friend Leo Stark a sealed envelope stuffed with EJ’s dirtiest secrets, set to go public the second she turns up dead or missing.
That envelope is Gwen’s insurance policy, and it might be the smartest move anyone in this town has made all year. EJ has spent the whole summer turning on everyone who ever crossed him, and his enemies list keeps getting longer and uglier by the week. The man who once needed Gwen’s money now wants her gone, and Gwen knows it.
Fans who want the full map of where this feud is heading can dig into the running breakdown over at our friends at Daytime Soap Stop, because this one is moving fast. What we know for certain is that EJ is done playing nice, and the woman who bankrolled his miracle drug is now the woman trying to seize his hospital and expose every last one of his sins.

Kristen Is Squarely In EJ’s Crosshairs
The clearest sign of how far EJ will go is what he has lined up for his own sister, Kristen. EJ has ordered the Kristen DiMera problem solved the DiMera way, prepping the family’s private island so Kristen can be shipped off and live out her days far from Salem, and his dying sister Lexie overheard the entire cold blooded scheme. Lexie rushed to warn Kristen before EJ could strike, so the clock is now ticking loudly. For Gwen Rizczech, watching EJ move to erase a blood relative is all the proof she needs that nobody in this family is safe.
Then there is the ugly business with Xander Kiriakis. Gwen learned from a concussed Leo that Xander and Kristen had been sleeping together behind her back, and she stormed straight into a knock down fight with Kristen over it. Here is the twist that tells you everything about Gwen Rizczech: she saved her real fury for Kristen and let Xander walk, because he never once lied about what they were. That kind of cold calculation is exactly why Gwen keeps surviving while everyone around her burns.
Is Gwen Rizczech In Danger On Days of Our Lives?
The honest answer is that Gwen may be the safest enemy EJ has, precisely because she saw this coming and planned for it. While Kristen begged Xander for protection and now stares down banishment, Gwen quietly built a dead man’s switch with Leo and made herself far too dangerous to make disappear. Here is what other coverage keeps missing entirely: Gwen is not just another name on EJ’s hit list, she is the one rival who armed herself before the war even started, holding both his darkest secrets and a live bid for his hospital. That is leverage nobody else in Salem can put on the table.
Gwen’s Next Move Could Flip The Whole Board
Do not be surprised if Gwen turns the tables completely before this is over. She is still training in self defense with Tate Black, she has Leo guarding her explosive exposé, and she just cut a fresh alliance with Gabi that could hand her real muscle against the DiMera machine. If I know these writers, the person EJ should be losing sleep over is Gwen Rizczech, not the other way around. My gut says she walks out of this war owning a hospital and a stack of secrets that keep her untouchable for years.
So where do you land on all this? Sound off with your verdict on whether Gwen is EJ’s next target or the one who finally takes him down.

Gwen Rizczech Is Nobody’s Victim
Salem has spent years underestimating Gwen, and EJ is about to make the exact same mistake. The girl who blew into town as a con artist and a liar has quietly become the most prepared person in the room, and she pulled it off while everyone else was busy panicking about who vanishes next.
Our money is on Gwen flipping this entire thing around long before EJ ever gets the chance to grab her. Come argue it out with us on our Facebook page, because a fight this juicy deserves a full jury.
Q: Is Gwen leaving Days of Our Lives? A: There is no exit news for Gwen or Emily O’Brien. She has been front and center in the war with EJ all summer, buying his hospital and building a case against him. Every current sign points to her sticking around and escalating, not walking away from Salem.
Q: Why is EJ after Kristen on Days of Our Lives? A: EJ wants revenge because Kristen recruited Sophia in the plot that nearly killed his son Johnny. He ordered the DiMera island prepped to banish his own sister, and a dying Lexie overheard the plan and rushed to warn Kristen before he could strike.
