So, maybe Leo's not the same selfish POS that he's always been. The damage has already been done though.
As tempting as Dimitri/Peter Porte is lol I appreciate that Leo didn't give in to Dimitri. The last thing we needed was for him to discard Javi the same way that he discarded Gwen. As dull as Days has been lately, the fact that some characters are not regressing for no reason other than that they're awful is one thing I can attribute to Paula/Jeanne, as opposed to Ron. The storyline is being taken more seriously and is more dramatic instead of being the cruel, toxic, poorly written joke that it was in 2023. The biggest problem with all of this is Leo. This would all be so much better and more watchable if it involved any character other than him. Regardless of him, a Dimera grandson should be involved with an Evans-Black grandson, or a Brady grandson, just to play up that whole Stefano and John/Marlena/Roman dynamic. But if we're stuck with Leo, I'd rather he be like this instead of how he was.
And Peter Porte killed it again. Once again, he makes it worth watching. You really can feel Dimitri's heartbreak. And I'm interested in seeing what happens now that he and Javi have had a one on one showdown.
Speaking of Javi, Sarah comforting him was a nice surprise. I wouldn't mind the two of them forming a friendship and commiserating about their messy lives lol Javi often gets stuck in a bubble with Leo or the Hernandez's so seeing interact with more people on the canvas is a good idea. Plus, Sarah might need someone to talk to sooner or later, especially now that Maggie tipped her off about Xander firing Brady. I do think that their showdown should have gone a little longer before Maggie interrupted them. But I did like how Sarah comforted Brady over his firing and let him know that there were other ways for him to carry on John's legacy.
Xander could have had a better person to commiserate with though 😂
As for Stephanie and Alex, they were boring again and so was their plan to set a trap for the stalker lol but I do like the way they wrote Stephanie today. I agree with Steve that she almost seemed like Kayla. I still think that not having Jeremy have a bigger part in this storyline is a mistake. As much as I've enjoyed his scenes with Julie, he needs a lot more to do. I really hope that their suspicions of Jeremy haven't been dropped. That could be the one thing that makes this storyline more watchable.
