Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) has apparently been misled. Gwen told quite a story about her mother, Tiffany Rizczech, who worked as a cocktail waitress in Chicago and got knocked up.
Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) doesn’t remember since it was over 30 years ago, but he’s adamant that he never knew Gwen existed and didn’t send the checks she talked about.
What’s fact and what’s fiction here? We’d say Gwen has a few things right and a few things wrong, though she clearly believes every word of what she’s saying. Tiffany was indeed working as a waitress in a cocktail bar – that much is true!
We can buy that Jack would be hazy on this random hookup after all this time, so it seems likely that Gwen really is Jack’s biological daughter.
However, we don’t buy that Jack would just throw meager checks at Gwen’s mom to get rid of her. Nor do we buy that Jack would just cut off payments the day Tiffany died.
It would be completely out of character for Jack to do all this and lie once Gwen confronted him with this information.
Jack seems to be telling the truth, so what does that mean? It tells us that someone else paid off Tiffany and led her to believe it was Jack’s doing.
Gwen mentioned that the payments were coming through Jack’s secretary, but that secretary may have been working on someone else’s orders. She may have been paid to keep her mouth shut.
Regardless, Gwen believes Jack sent the checks, but Jack almost certainly did not. That brings us to a crucial question: Who was paying off Gwen’s mom and why?
It would have to be someone connected to Jack in some way – perhaps someone with a motive to protect Jack and Jennifer Deveraux’s (Cady McClain) family.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Jennifer’s mom, Laura Horton (Jaime Lyn Bauer), is headed back to Salem during the week of February 1-5. Could Laura have been the one making these payments?
Laura has been known to do desperate things to protect members of the Deveraux clan – like when she was in the loop on Abigail’s faked death plot in 2016 and said nothing until Abby recovered from her mental illness.
It does seem rather cruel for Laura to cut off payments the day Tiffany died, but it was also cruel to leave everyone in the dark on Abigail being alive. Laura simply did what she thought was best for Abby.
We could buy that Laura paid Tiffany with somewhat good intentions for the Deveraux family and will perhaps regret how she handled it.
Since this Gwen story is a DOOL retcon anyway, we probably shouldn’t worry too much about the historical details.
Whatever the case, Days fans know Laura usually only returns to town if it’s important – and Jack not remembering making payments to a random “baby mama” is pretty important!
That’s particularly true since Gwen has spent all this time plotting Deveraux family destruction and has promised there’s more to come. As other Days news and updates roll in, we’ll keep you posted.
