“In order to put an end to this situation with the people who are after him, Jake has to track down his ex, the mischievous Gwen. I don’t want to give too much away. She is kind of the key to him resolving the issues with these bad people. It will also be interesting to see how Gabi [Hernandez DiMera, Camila Banus] reacts when she finds out that Jake has an ex-girlfriend.”
