Could Gwen be...? (Read 362 times)

Not sure if this is speculation or spoiler.

There have been rumors swirling that Gwen is Jack's daughter. If that's true, I've been trying to think who Gwen's mother could be, and now with Jaime Lyn Bauer returning as Laura Spencer Horton (Laura is Jennifer's mother who Jack had an affair with while they were both in a sanitarium, not knowing she was Jennifer's mother), it makes me think that Gwen is Laura's daughter who she likely gave up for adoption.

Thoughts?

My thoughts can summed up thusly:

[doolfan4life]

I hate the idea that she’s a blood relative of anyone on the show but it sure looks this way
My biggest hate here is the actress
I find her kinda gross the way she’s chewing on her nails all the time and she’s annoying and not in the love to hate kind of way
If they go this route I’d personally vote a recast

[sportsgirl]

But why would she hate so much on Abigail? She always stated it was Abigail need mostly needed to destroy. Abigail wouldn't have known she even existed. I can see the hate spewed on Laura & maybe Jack. But it does make sense to this whole story line.

[doolfan4life]

Maybe her mother spent so much time with Abby during her DID episode and she was adopted blah blah and now she resents her because of that
Just a guess
I still have little care in the matter as it was so silly in the way this was all written that the interest has just been lacking

I can't stand Gwen or the actress who plays her. She makes my skin crawl.

I will say, though, that if it turns out that Laura is the mother, I could live with that. I hate "pop up" children. Another overused device. But when I heard Jack might be Gwen's father, I was wracking my brain to try and think who could he have had an affair or fling with and determined it's going to end up being some random person we never heard of.

But if it's Laura, at least that affair was on-screen and occurred while Jack and Laura were both in a sanitarium, so it's not some newly made-up nonsense. I could see Laura deciding to give the baby up for adoption rather than complicating her daughter's life/marriage. That is an acceptable rationale, in my opinion.

Gwen is probably jealous and resentful of Abigail because Abby was raised by Jack, and Jack (when he was around) doted on her. Like that's Abigail's fault. Geez.

And ditto for a recast.

[wendylou]

So if this is the case, we’ve got two long-lost siblings coming to Salem, resentful of the favored child, and making their lives hell. And I do think that that is Gwen’s issue. She’s resentful of Abby and the love she got from Jack. Of course it’s not Abby’s fault but I guess if Gwen grew up in a bad situation and then found out that she missed out on something she sees as better it could cause some bitterness.

Remember how JJ went overboard about how hot he thought Gwen was? Just imagine when he finds out she’s his sister-aunt. Ew!

[tghca]

If Gwen is Jack and Laura's daughter that makes Gwen Jennifer and Mike's half sister but also makes her Abby and JJ's half sister too...this is too gross to even wrap my mind around because not only is she their sister she's their aunt too

Well, Jack did leave Jennifer a few times. Once when he found out Abigail had aplasic anemia. Once when he went on a walkabout/undercover for a story, once when Jack/Jenn went to Africa (and Jenn wound up in Ireland), once when he thought he was dying and pushed Frankie/Jennifer together...

He had plenty of opportunities to leave and start a new life.

Wow, you have a great memory!
