Leo and Alex - Friday (Read 189 times)

[ProudTVJunkie]

Leo is sitting alone in the Horton Square, looking over some notes.

Leo: You better buckle up, Mom, because I have a lot to say to you, and you are going to sit there, and you are going to listen.

Leo recalls knocking over his mother’s mai tai at a honeymoon resort in the Poconos.

What kind of mother leaves their 8-year-old son alone in a heart-shaped jacuzzi with a pack of smokes and a flamingo pool float? She had no idea how pruning his little fingers got.

Leo plans to advocate for himself because he is not worthless. He is not unlovable…

That’s when a hot, sweaty, shirtless Alex interrupts his self-monologue, asking if Leo plans to finish his drink. Leo wonders if this is some kind of a trick and tells Alex and his sweaty abs to get lost. Alex insists that he’s thirsty. Leo says he is the second Adonis-like stud who’s asked him for water in the last 24 hours, although the last one was a doctor.

Leo mentions running into Theresa this morning and talking about Alex. He asked her...

Leo: Praytell, Theresa Donovan. How did you bed such an eligible bachelor? One with abs that you could use to grate parmesan cheese.

Alex confirms that sparks were flying between he and Theresa before she knew he was the Kiriakis heir. Leo agrees that Theresa seems legit.

Leo and Alex then bond when they realize they are both in therapy with Dr. Evans.

Alex sees what Leo is reading and asks if he’s auditioning for something.

Leo: Well, I suppose you could say that I’ve been auditioning for my mother’s affection my entire life. And now I’m going to see her in lockup to give voice to every complaint and grievance. All the anger that adorable, fair-haired little Leo, that frightened little cherub who lives in here, has been holding for far too long. I wrote it all down so I don’t get flustered and go off-script.

Alex wishes him luck. Leo says his parents tried their best, as they say. Whatever that means. It’s not like Alex hit the parent scratch-off with Victor, no offense.

Alex says, none taken. Victor was a complicated man. Leo points out that Alex was very lucky since he was raised by Justin, Sonny’s dad.

Alex heads home.

Leo's memories of Diana make me sick and I was never a huge Diana fan. But now she's like Miss Hannigan from Annie? Abusive and neglectful? Clearly we are getting Leo is John's son part 2 given his sudden bond with Marlena.

Diana was sweet, supportive to John, fantastic with Carrie, and a kind person. I don't care what they have Leo say on screen that was not her character. Unless she had a traumatic head injury and became mean this makes no sense.

I have no time for Leo gawping at straight shirtless sweaty guys. Enough of that.

Leo as John's son. Good grief that sounds horrible.

I too can't take the lurid and uncouth comments from Leo about shirtless men begging for water. Once was bad enough. Twice was nauseating. The ugly flirt is a public menace.

These two clowns should be arrested for just seeing Dr. Evans, the Salem's own to quote a line from one of Cher's big hits, where Marlena kind of does this--- "sell a couple of bottles of Dr. Good."

[Kpatch]

Both Dr. Greene and Alex can afford to buy their own water. It's beyond stupid for them to try and mooch water off of another customer. Can't Days come up with another excuse for these people to engage Leo in conversation. It's cringy.

They did it so when Diana claimed Leo was John's son that he would believe it. They were having a lot of sex before she ran out of town and Leo was born within 9 months of that.

-I too hate what they did with Diana's character. She was played by Genie Francis and Diana and John had fantastic chemistry. The character had her secrets but she was a genuinely nice, kind person. The person they've turned her into has nothing to do with the Diana I watched in the '90s. I have to make Diana a different character in my head in order to enjoy this storyline.

-Personally, I have no problem with Leo ogling the handsome men of Salem. I usually find Leo's off the cuff remarks about them funny.

-And Leo and Alex are a sort of interesting pairing. Oddly enough, I think Leo has more depth to him than Alex!
