David S Lee portrayed Gil Carter on Days of Our Lives

Gil came and went with the wind on Days of Our Lives

"Who was that masked man" or rather who was that villain is what some viewers of Peacock's one and only soap opera are asking. "Gil" came and went in Salem so fast that some viewers may not have paid attention. He was a bad guy who had a short run on Days of Our Lives and was recently murdered by Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) when he tried to rape her. Gil was supposed to oversee the drug operation that was taking place at Ava's restaurant and she was forced to allow Gil to do business in her back room but Mr. Carter went too far.

Several soap spoilers simply referred to the character as Gil without a last name and did not mention the actor's real name. His face seemed familiar but when I tried looking up Gil from DOOL in the search engines I got nothing-absolutely nothing. That's how insignificant this character was. I had to read a number of spoilers before I found out his last name was Carter and his portrayer was David S Lee.

Salem in the aftermath of Gil

The character Gil was sleazy and he conducted himself in a manner that fans suspected he might try to assault Ava. There just did not seem to be any good in this man and Gill is now dead. he was working for Clyde Weston (James Read) who is forcing Ava and Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash to do his bidding). Gil constantly reminded Ava that her son Tripp Johnson's ( Lucas Adams) life was in danger and now Stefan is being threatened that Gabby Hernandez (Camillas Banus) could die in prison.

Stefan and Ava working together to take down Clyde shoudl be fun to watch as they both can be pretty devious. Stay tuned to Days of Our Lives to find out how Ava and Stefan will get themselves out of this mess because it will no doubt be hilarious.
