DAYS: SHOCKING DEATH ROCKS SALEM

Jack urges Gwen and Xander to try to get along, which proves to be useful advice when Xander comes upon Gwen in an argument with Dr. Snyder. “As soon as Xander starts to realize that Gwen is up to some nefarious shenanigans, he can’t help but stick his nose in, primarily to help Jack but also because of the person he is — he can’t stay out of things,” observes Paul Telfer (Xander). “He thinks he’s smart, especially when it comes to anything criminal, but very often, just by engaging with those things, he makes it worse.”
