On this past week’s episodes of Days of our Lives, Gwen
Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) had emotional conversations with her family and Xander
at the police station. On numerous occasions,
O’Brien’s sunken eyes that showed emptiness displayed that Gwen was numb as she
feels like she lost everything. While
Gwen has done terrible things, all she ever wanted was love and to feel loved. She wanted a relationship with her father and
she feared she was going to lose her fiancé to his ex. O’Brien gives depth to Gwen and is able to
show her many layers and shows what motivates Gwen to do the things the does, however
greatly misguided. Although she has
given her loved ones every reason to doubt her, she is hurt to see that her
father and Xander (Paul Telfer) have lost all trust in her. Xander visits Gwen and asks her if she still
has the antidote that can save Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). When Gwen says she does, Xander asks what he
has to do to get it. O’Brien shows how
deeply that question hurts Gwen. In a last-ditch
effort, Gwen asks Xander to take her back in exchange for the antidote and O’Brien’s
quiver in her voice when Gwen asks, “Deal?” is heart breaking. Gwen does tell Xander where it is and she’s
processing how she’s continuing to lose him further. Later on, Abigail (Marci Miller) and Jennifer
(Melissa Reeves) demand answers in regard to how Jennifer’s mother died. Jack (Matthew Ashford) is floored to hear
that Gwen told Abigail that she murdered her grandmother. However, Gwen denies the claim and says she
only said it to hurt her sister since she felt betrayed. O’Brien’s brilliant performance makes the
fans (and characters) wonder: did Gwen really commit murder or not? Later on, Gwen asks Jack if he can ever
forgive her. When O’Brien reaches out
for Jack to take hold of Gwen’s hand as a sign that there is hope for them to
make amends and he doesn’t take her hand, O’Brien shows how shattered Gwen
feels in her eyes and facial expressions.
Bravo to O’Brien for her powerful performances this week!
