Xander and Gwen might be facing some challenges on Days of Our Lives. Although their reunion has fans worried, unresolved issues and past emotions could hinder their joy. As tensions subtly rise in Salem, audiences are left questioning if this revived romance can endure or if it will fall apart sooner than anticipated.
Paul Telfer says Xander is ‘not open to romance with anyone’ in Days of Our Lives
In a recent chat with Soaps.com, Paul Telfer, who portrays Xander Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives, expressed some candid thoughts about his character. He remarked, “I would say that he’s not open to romance with anyone, really, only because he knows that now is the time to work internally. To work on himself.” Telfer put it by sharing that “he just needs time to be himself before getting all confused and chasing after some other beautiful girl.”
Being aware of the show’s history, it seems Xander is taking his therapy and personal development more seriously and trying to work on himself, indicating a change in his typical cycle of fleeting self-improvement.
For once, he genuinely appears committed to making enduring changes instead of just offering vapid reassurance. Up to this point, he has managed to stay focused, demonstrating signs of growth and responsibility.
Nevertheless, his advancement doesn’t imply he has entirely abandoned his old habits. Xander could easily find himself tempted to stir up jealousy as well. A possible rekindling with Gwen, for example, would be an ideal way to provoke Sarah, illustrating that while he’s progressing, he’s still not without his flaws.
Paul also clarified, saying, “If some beautiful lady were to swan into Salem, it might turn Xander’s head.” The actor added, “But I think he’s aware enough at this point to know that now is not a good time, even if the door to Sarah feels like it’s nailed shut and he’ll never get her back.”
