DAYS OF OUR LIVES Gwen And Alex Kiss!

After getting rejected by Xander, Gwen finds a new friend in Alex, who has troubles of his own. “Gwen has been trying to find her place in the world,” notes Head Writer Ron Carlivati.

“She has been a little bit adrift; she helped Xander and now he’s made it clear that he’s not sure if he wants to be with her or can be with her. At the same time Alex lost Stephanie and he ends up clashing with Maggie at Titan, so these two people who are in kind of a rocky place meet up and it’s going to be interesting to see what happens between Alex and Gwen. It’s sort of an unlikely pair, but if you really kind of look at the two characters, it’s really not as unlikely as it might seem at first blush.”

The two wind up in a kiss, and where it goes from here, Carlivati teases, “Is this a potential couple who could be potentially dangerous together? We know Alex is a bit of a player and a wild card, so it’s going to be fun to see the two of them together.”

BOSTON BOUND

Jack gives Gwen and Leo the keys to The Spectator, then informs his daughter that he and Jennifer are going back to Boston, noting that while he loves his daughter, he thinks they are better off not being in each other’s lives.

Julie is aghast to learn of Gwen and Xander’s blackmail and vows to take action against Gwen. Jennifer calms her down, and later, Jack and Jennifer once again say good-bye to Salem.

TAKING THE LEAD

Alex is stunned when Maggie announces that she will be the new CEO of Titan. Alex protests and offers reasons why Maggie may not be the best choice. But Maggie insists she’s up to the task and finally convinces Alex to get on board. Later, Justin learns of the unexpected development.
