Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Gwen’s Millions Could STEAL Victoria From Sarah in Shocking Custody Twist!
Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal Sarah Horton holds the upper hand in her custody battle with Xander Kiriakis over Victoria. Will his violent assault on Philip destroy his chances? Plus, Gwen’s shocking return could change everything!

SALEM’S MOST EXPLOSIVE CUSTODY BATTLE: WHO GETS VICTORIA?
The Doctor vs The Criminal: A Fight That’s About to Get UGLY
The gloves are OFF in Salem! Sarah Horton and Xander Kiriakis are locked in what might be the most lopsided custody battle we’ve ever seen. On paper, this should be a slam dunk for Sarah. She’s a respected doctor. She comes from the legendary Horton family. She’s offering supervised visits like she’s doing Xander a favor.
And Xander? Well…
Let’s just say his resume includes “admitted hitman” and “recently arrested for violently assaulting his own cousin.”
Yeah. Not exactly father-of-the-year material.
Why Sarah Should Win (But This IS Salem, So…)
Look, in any normal town, this custody battle would be over before it started. Sarah Horton has EVERYTHING going for her. The woman is a doctor at Salem University Hospital. She’s Maggie Horton‘s daughter. The Hortons are basically Salem royalty – they’ve got that squeaky-clean reputation that judges eat up with a spoon.
Meanwhile, Xander just got arrested for beating the living daylights out of Philip Kiriakis.
The timing? Chef’s kiss levels of terrible.
Sarah‘s already flexing her control over the situation. Supervised visits only. No surprise drop-ins. Everything on HER terms. She’s building her case piece by piece, and every violent outburst from Xander is just more ammunition for her lawyers.
But wait. This is Salem we’re talking about. The same town where Kristen DiMera – a literal criminal mastermind – managed to keep custody of Rachel.
So maybe we shouldn’t count Xander out just yet?
The Kiriakis Card: Money Talks in Salem
Here’s where things get juicy. Xander might be a walking red flag, but he’s still a Kiriakis. And in Salem, that name carries WEIGHT. We’re talking about one of the most powerful families in town. The kind of family that has judges on speed dial.
One fan on Reddit nailed it: “Xander being a Kiriakis could always bribe or threaten the judge into giving him custody of his daughter.”
And they’re not wrong! This is the same town where people come back from the dead on a Tuesday and nobody bats an eye. Where secret twins pop up like daisies. Where a little thing like “extensive criminal history” can be swept under the rug with the right… incentive.
But Sarah‘s got something Kristen‘s enemies didn’t have – the full backing of the Horton family. That’s some serious moral high ground right there.
The Gwen Bombshell That Could Change EVERYTHING
Hold onto your remotes, because here comes the twist nobody ordered but we’re all secretly excited about.
Word on the street? Gwen Rizczech is coming back to Salem. And she’s not coming empty-handed.
According to spoilers, our favorite British troublemaker might be returning with Dimitri Von Leuschner‘s millions. MILLIONS. The kind of money that makes judges suddenly develop very flexible morals.
Think about it. Gwen‘s always had a soft spot for Xander. They’ve got history. Messy, complicated, “we probably shouldn’t but we did anyway” history. If she shows up with a briefcase full of cash ready to play fairy godmother to his custody case?
Game. Changer.
Sarah might have the law on her side, but in Salem, justice has a price tag. And Gwen might just be willing to pay it.
What Happens Next? The Million-Dollar Question
So where does this leave Victoria? Caught between a rock and a very violent place, that’s where.
On one side, you’ve got Sarah – stable, responsible, offering a safe environment. She’s playing by the rules, keeping everything above board. She’s got the moral high ground and she’s not afraid to use it.
On the other side? Xander – out on bail for assault, with a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt, but backed by Kiriakis money and potentially getting a massive assist from Gwen and her newfound fortune.
The fans are split right down the middle. Some are Team Sarah all the way, arguing that Xander‘s proven he’s too dangerous. Others point out Sarah‘s not exactly squeaky clean either – remember when she lied about Victoria‘s paternity for MONTHS?
As one particularly fired-up fan commented: “The hypocrisy is REAL!”
The Verdict? Expect the Unexpected
If this were real life, Sarah would win. Hands down. No contest. The woman’s a doctor from a respected family going up against a man who literally just got arrested for assault.
But this is Days of Our Lives. This is Salem. This is the place where anything can happen and usually does.
Will Sarah‘s stable life and spotless reputation secure Victoria‘s future? Will Xander‘s Kiriakis connections and potential help from Gwen turn the tables? Or will we get a classic Salem twist that nobody sees coming?
One thing’s for sure – this custody battle is far from over. And with Gwen potentially entering the ring with pockets full of cash?
Things are about to get VERY interesting.
Poor Victoria. Kid’s gonna need therapy before she can even walk.
