I don’t think Gwen’s wealth is setting her up for a villain turn. I think it’s meant to position her for redemption; specifically by helping return the hospital to the Hortons. That’s the beat that gets her back in Jack’s good graces and lets Jennifer begin to soften toward her. It also aligns nicely with the 60th anniversary: if the hospital’s opening a free clinic named after Tom (as the preview video suggests), Gwen helping make that happen gives her a clean narrative pivot.

It’s sure to be controversial, because it’ll feel like Gwen getting rewarded while Abby stays dead. But from a story perspective? (Unpopular opinion) Gwen’s the better long-term asset. Not nicer, not better than Abby—but a more flexible, more fun character who could thrive if given a little grace.
