Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Dimitri’s ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐r has been revealed, it wasn’t Gwen
In theย January 9 episode ofย Days of our Lives,ย Dimitri finally said the part out loud that Gwen clearly hoped would stay theoretical. He froze her access to his accounts while authorities investigate his kidnapping.
Gwenโs face did the maths in real time. Subtle panic first, then anger. Then the dawning realization that sheโd left a door unlocked that never should have existed. Her lapse in judgment feels wildly out of character for someone who prides herself on staying ahead of the mess.
Key Takeaways
-
Dimitri froze Gwen out financially pending the kidnapping investigation.
-
-
Gwen never severed her monetary ties to Dimitri.
-
Dimitriโs return was predictable, not a shock twist.
-
Gwenโs leverage evaporated the moment he walked back into Salem.
What Happened on DAYS
Dimitri (Peter Porte) calmly told Gwen (Emily OโBrien) that her access to his money was done. No drama or a raised voice.
Just a statement of fact and a reminder that the authorities would be taking a closer look at how he disappeared.
Gwen pushed back, blustered, tried to regain footing, but the ground had already shifted. He wasnโt pleading; he wasnโt explaining and reclaiming control of his vast fortune.
This all comesย on the heels of Dimitriโs return, his public accusations, and his very intentional disruption of Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Javiโs (Al Calderon) wedding. Gwen knew he wasnโt dead. She knew that โdisappearedโ in Salem comes with an expiration date. And yet, she behaved as if the clock had stopped.
Why It Matters
Gwenโs mistake wasnโt emotional. It was logistical. If Dimitri was alive, his money was always a temporary arrangement.
Keeping access tied to his accounts meant trusting a future where he never reappeared. That was never realistic.
The smarter play was obvious: she should have drained his accounts early. Move the money once. Then move it again. A clean break with no trail or shared access.
However, Gwen didnโt do that. She kept things as they were, and that single choice handed Dimitri the advantage he needed.
The Fallout
Now, Gwen isnโt scrambling because she kidnapped her husband. Sheโs scrambling because she left him with leverage. For someone who once prided herself on planning exits before others entered the room, this is amateur hour.
Dimitri didnโt need threats or allies. He just needed access to his own name. Gwen thought the danger was in his return. It wasnโt.
The danger was assuming she had time to take care of matters before they got out of her reach. (Find out how Leo can help Gwen take Dimitri down.)
