After Receiving Devastating News, Gwen Has a Dangerous Altercation With Abigail
Friday, April 30, 2021: Today on Days of Our Lives, Allie and Tripp can't hide their feelings, Gwen has a traumatic day, and "Kate's" done with Jake.

When Kristen, disguised as Kate, enters Brady’s Pub, Jake asks why she didn’t show up for their trip. “Kate” tells him they need to end things… right now. She goes along with it when Jake assumes it’s about him admitting he was jealous of Gabi and Philip. “Kate” won’t wait around to be dumped. She also says their age difference bothers her so she’s moving out of the mansion and resigning from DiMera. Jake won’t accept that and grabs her arm before she can leave. Roman walks over to diffuse the situation. Jake knows he’s not getting the whole story. He won’t stop until he finds out the rest.

At home, Chad tells Abigail how much it means to him that she’s willing to try and fix their marriage. She admits Gabi was the one who convinced her to focus on the good in her life.

However, Abigail will now pretend Gwen and the baby do not exist.
After talking with Jennifer, Jack enters the DiMera mansion. He tells Chad and a furious Abigail Gwen is moving in with him. Abigail doesn’t think he cares how she feels. So, he should just go ahead and do what he wants. She storms out. Chad is glad Jack convinced Gwen to stay in Salem and assures him, if nothing else, Gwen and the baby will be taken care of financially. Chad’s worried though. He doesn’t think it will take much more to push Abby over the edge.
