- DAYS fans want more of Leo and Xander.
More of Xander and Leo on DAYS Please
On a recent episode of DAYS, Xander (Paul Telfer) and Leo (Greg Rikaart) drowned their sorrows together.
Leo was reeling from Dimitri’s (Peter Porte) return and the way it blew up his happy life with Javi (Al Calderon). Xander was sulking after firing Brady (Eric Martsolf), all because of his jealousy over Brady’s growing relationship with Sarah (Linsey Godfrey).
When they couldn’t find Marlena (Deidre Hall) in their time of need, they decided to drink together in misery. Their bonding was beyond hilarious, especially their advice, which consisted of a lot of egging each other on, and it was a joy to watch.
Leo and Xander have more in common than some fans may remember. Like the double wedding they had when Xander was set to marry Gwen (Emily O’Brien), and Leo was set to marry Craig (Kevin Spirtas), which blew up in both their faces.
It was such a refreshing change for these characters to see them bond, and DAYS fans want more.
“I enjoyed the Xander and the Leo scenes always get a kick out of Leo and his one liners,” wrote a fan on Reddit.
Another fan on the same Reddit thread added, “I had forgotten, there are (kind of) friends and their scene was the highlight of this episode.”
Some of the most entertaining friendships come from unlikely characters. Look at Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Lani (Sal Stowers) or Marlena and Leo, who have formed close bonds we love to see on-screen.
Here’s hoping DAYS gives us more of Xander and Leo bonding moments this year.
