It's difficult to celebrate gay actors playing gay characters when those characters exist solely to prop up the eternal flop that is Leo. As shown with the trashing of Craig.

Chandler Massey fans are actually lucky he's barely on as Leo/Will would be inevitable.

I enjoy Leo. He’s saucy and has personality (things which are in short supply on this show). He’s a more accurate representation of gay men than Will “Wears a Condom for a Bl*w Job” Horton.

Well

Spoiler

Judith Chapman filmed at Days recently and Greg Rikkart was on set. Guess it will air June 2024 so maybe she's Diana again & Peter could be back as Dimitri

Anything's possible with Ron, so maybe? More info on that spoiler here:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Chandler has been great as Will & he totally got regenerized with Zach Tinker as Sonny

 

Hopfully Sonny & Will visit Salem soon

Why would Judith being back mean Peter is back?

We also don’t know which character she is playing yet. She could be back as Anjelica for Alex especially now that Justin is married to Bonnie.

As a gay woman with innumerable gay men friends over many years, I can honestly say that Leo Stark is the worst representation of a gay man that I have ever seen. He is not like anyone I have ever known. And from a fan perspective, it is common for people to remark on how bad he is for the soap that's supposed to be the diversity soap! I'm not saying you're not entitled to your opinion, cause everyone gets to have their own opinion.

I am not surprised he is gone.  Megan is no longer on the show and that was his only real connection.  It seemed like he was floating around not knowing where to fit in with the DiMeria clan and with Carly Manning and Frankie Brady ( the real Von Leschnurs) no longer on the screen their wasn't alot for him to do.

They could’ve rebooted him by making him Jarlena’s ‘86 baby.

Actually we should be more grateful Zach Tinker left. Ron was totally going to pair up Sonny and Leo, what would have been even worse.

I mentioned Massey as he'd been talked about more in the thread. Sorry.

Anyone Leo goes near ends up paying for it.

Worse for who?

As someone who doesn’t mind Leo, I don’t need him in a romantic relationship. I would like to see him used as the Ivan to Theresa’s Vivian.

I hate this but it’s for the best.

Peter Porte was completely wasted. Wasted even worse than Zach Tinker, which I didn’t think was possible. All because Ron Carlivati is too hard for Leo and too small minded to have a gay actor play anything but a gay character.

SMH

I wouldn’t even be surprised if he was angry when Peter Porte was first cast in Beyond Salem. 

This storyline and this pairing were total garbage. How do you get this talented, charismatic, and absolutely gorgeous actor, who can be a villain, can do comedy and can have good romantic chemistry with both men and women and then approve such an awful, mean spirited and nonsensical storyline for him? And pair him with the worst character on the show?

They didn’t just drop the ball with this storyline and character. They dropped it, ran it over with a friggin 18-wheeler and then set what was left on fire. 

I’m sure we’ll see him again. I just hope that Leo is dead or gone when we do. There’s still an obvious storyline there with Megan. And also with the ISA connection #Dandrew

In the meantime, I’m sure Peter Porte will land roles that are actually good enough for him. I may not miss his character all that much but I’ll definitely miss him 😍😍😊

EDIT: My apologies, for the rant lol

Agree - Peter Porte is a good, talented, actor and was wasted in the role and by the writing. Ron is a problem and his propping of useless Leo is an issue.

How is Ron a problem? He’s the best head writer this show has had since JER in 2006.

Pacing, use of personnel, persisting with characters that are not popular, odd sense of humor, poor taste, possibly burned out comparing years before & the past 2 years, his real love is GH, no passion for DAYS, extreme favoritism, part of the mechanism that enabled the monster, ... I can go on.

Definitely.

With that, we didn’t just dodge a bullet, we dodged a friggin missile

Can’t forget the biphobia and the misogyny either
