Of course, Gwen felt like an outsider when all she really wanted was a father and a family.

However, her scheming led to even more conflict between her and her newfound Salem family.

Gwen found out that she was pregnant with Chad DiMera’s child, although she eventually lost the pregnancy.

Fans were shocked, but Jack Deveraux stood by his newfound daughter.

Sadly, the more Gwen interacted with the Deveraux clan, the more she seemed to alienate herself.
