Salem is about to be shaken by a chilling new mystery that may leave one of its most infamous schemers struggling to survive. Just as Gwen Rizczech thought she had finally put herself in the perfect position to strike back at EJ DiMera and secure a powerful new future, a frightening new threat could be preparing to rip her plans apart.
For months, Gwen has been balancing on an extremely dangerous edge. Her connection to EJ was never based on loyalty or real trust, and nearly everyone in Salem understood that their arrangement was destined to explode sooner or later. When EJ DiMera is involved, loyalty usually lasts only until it stops serving his interests.
Sadly for Gwen, she has now discovered that truth in the cruelest possible way.
Days of our Lives Spoilers March 3: EJ and Gwen Go A-Grave Robbing
EJ recently walked away from the deal that had benefited both of them, leaving Gwen humiliated, enraged, and determined to hit back. Instead of quietly accepting that she has been pushed aside, she has chosen to wage war against him. Her goal is not just simple payback. Gwen wants to win completely.
According to the newest rumors, Gwen is now focused on seizing control of University Hospital once EJ’s power and influence are brought crashing down. Her bold plan would give her tremendous authority and allow her to watch EJ lose everything he has spent years trying to protect.
It may sound impossible, but Gwen has never been someone who doubts herself. She truly believes she can outmaneuver anyone, even the mighty DiMera family. With power, money, and status in her sights, she is willing to take dangerous chances to get exactly what she wants.
But Gwen also knows one very important thing about EJ: he becomes even more dangerous when he feels trapped.
Understanding that she could quickly become a target, Gwen has quietly prepared a backup strategy meant to protect her. If something happens to her—whether she suddenly dies or disappears without warning—her lawyer has instructions to release a highly damaging document.
And the person meant to receive that document is none other than Leo Stark.
The letter is said to contain explosive details about EJ’s secret dealings. Every suspicious agreement, every hidden operation, and every questionable experiment connected to his underground activity could be brought into the open. For Gwen, that document is the ultimate protection.
If EJ decides to get rid of her, Gwen wants to make sure his entire world collapses in return.

But there is one serious weakness in her plan.
Leo Stark is not exactly the most dependable person in Salem.
Even though Leo sees Gwen as one of his dearest friends, he has never been famous for choosing loyalty over self-interest. Lately, his attention has been almost completely consumed by his messy personal life, leaving very little room for Gwen’s endless games and dangerous plotting.
That creates a very unsettling question.
If Leo gets the letter, what will he actually do with it?
Some believe he would immediately take the evidence to the police. Others think he would expose every scandalous detail publicly and turn himself into the center of Salem’s biggest headline overnight.
But many suspect something else entirely.
Leo may view the information as a chance to make money.
With secrets powerful enough to destroy EJ in his hands, Leo could try to blackmail the DiMera heir and demand a fortune in exchange for his silence. That would certainly fit Leo’s personality, but it would also put him directly in the middle of a very dangerous situation.
If EJ learns that Leo has evidence capable of ruining him, the consequences could be brutal.
Still, while everyone may be watching EJ as the most obvious danger, new spoilers suggest something even more terrifying.
What if EJ is not the one coming after Gwen at all?
The latest developments hint that another enemy may be hiding in the shadows, preparing a shocking move that no one in Salem expects.
That enemy could be Dimitri von Leuschner.
Dimitri and Gwen have a complicated history filled with lies, betrayal, anger, and emotional damage. Their marriage was built on manipulation almost from the beginning, and their relationship eventually collapsed in a dramatic and unforgettable way.
Dimitri’s relationship with Leo only made everything worse.
Although Dimitri once imagined a future with Leo, those hopes have mostly fallen apart. Leo’s attention has moved in another direction, leaving Dimitri frustrated, hurt, and possibly furious enough to strike back at the people he believes caused his pain.
And unlike many people in Salem, Dimitri has both money and access to serious resources.
That makes him incredibly dangerous.
Sources suggest that Dimitri may not be willing to sit back and watch Gwen walk away with a victory. Instead, he could be secretly preparing revenge on a much larger scale than anyone realizes.
The most shocking possibility is kidnapping.
Rumors suggest that Gwen may soon vanish under mysterious circumstances, sending panic through Salem. At first, both her friends and enemies may assume EJ arranged the disappearance.
But as new clues begin to appear, suspicion could slowly start moving away from EJ and toward Dimitri.
If these theories are true, Gwen may be taken far away from Salem and held captive in a hidden location where no one can easily find her.
Some reports even suggest that she could be trapped somewhere in Alamainia.
Others believe she may end up on a notorious isolated island with a dark history.
Longtime viewers may remember the remote Greek island that once became a prison for Sarah Horton during one of Kristen DiMera’s twisted schemes. That place has become associated with imprisonment, deception, and desperate rescue attempts.
Imagine Gwen waking up there completely alone.
No friends.
No resources.
No one to manipulate.
No way to talk herself out of the situation.
For someone used to controlling people and circumstances through clever plans and sharp words, that kind of isolation would be pure torture.
While Gwen fights to survive and figure out who took her, events back in Salem could begin spinning wildly out of control.
Once her disappearance is officially confirmed, her attorney may carry out the emergency instructions she left behind.
That means Leo would finally receive the dangerous letter.
And once that letter lands in his hands, nothing will be the same.
EJ could suddenly face the most serious threat of his entire career. The secrets inside Gwen’s insurance plan could expose scandals that go far beyond a simple personal feud or business betrayal.
Lives could be destroyed.
Families could be torn apart.
Political futures could collapse.
Relationships could be pushed to the breaking point as shocking truths come out.
The damage would spread across Salem like fire.
Meanwhile, EJ would likely do everything possible to stop the information from becoming public. Whether he tries to bargain with Leo, threaten him, or silence him completely remains to be seen.
At the same time, another unpredictable player could enter the drama.
Xander Cook.
Although Xander’s recent connection to Gwen has often felt more practical than deeply romantic, her sudden disappearance could still draw his attention. At first, he may not understand that something is seriously wrong.
But once evidence begins suggesting foul play, Xander could become heavily involved in the search.
His hatred for Dimitri is already well known.
If Xander discovers that Dimitri may be behind Gwen’s disappearance, he could launch a personal rescue mission that takes him far outside Salem.
Such a storyline would bring together mystery, action, emotional tension, and dangerous twists, possibly creating one of the show’s most explosive adventures in years.
For Gwen, however, time may already be running out.
Her confidence has always been one of her greatest weapons, but it could also become the very thing that destroys her. By challenging EJ while failing to fully account for her other enemies, Gwen has placed herself in an extremely vulnerable position.
Now she may be facing consequences she never saw coming.
The biggest question is whether the safety net she carefully built will actually protect her.
Will Leo reveal EJ’s secrets?
Will Dimitri manage to keep Gwen hidden?
Can Xander reach her before it is too late?
And above all, will Gwen survive the dangerous game she set in motion?
One thing is clear: Salem is heading toward a huge confrontation filled with betrayal, stunning revelations, and surprising alliances. Gwen’s disappearance may become the spark that triggers a chain reaction touching almost every major character in town.
If the rumors prove true, viewers should get ready for a suspenseful storyline packed with danger, mystery, and high-stakes drama. Gwen may have believed she was the brilliant mastermind moving every piece on the board, but a new threat seems ready to show her that she may only be another pawn in a much bigger game.
And once the truth finally comes out, Salem may never be the same again.
