Leo’s redemption is in jeopardy.
Days of our Lives, Leo and Javi are set to get married on New Year’s Eve, giving Leo the happiness he’s longed for his entire life. However, as soap fans know, happiness doesn’t last very long, and Leo’s time is about up.
Key Takeaways
- Leo is a completely different person from when he first came to Salem.
- DAYS Javi and Leo deserve their happily ever after.
- Here’s why their wedding likely won’t happen.
Can’t Leo Just Be Happy On Days
There’s no question that Leo (Greg Rikaart) has come a long way since he arrived in Salem as a con artist looking out for number one. Thanks to the love of Javi (Al Calderon) and his enduring friendship with Marlena (Deidre Hall), Leo has become a decent guy.
Newly engaged Javi and Leo are wasting no time getting to the wedding of it all. After a little push from Leo, Javi agreed to a New Year’s Eve wedding, and fans are so here for their happiness.
Over on Reddit, a fan wrote, “I really, really love Javi and Leo. Javi is my favorite character right now. He’s down to earth and just so damn sweet. I feel like he balances Leo out and. I don’t know. I love a redemption. I love a wounded person rebuilding a better life.”
Another fan on the same thread declared, “I’m so glad that Leo found redemption and is now living his best life with the man he truly loves.”

A different Reddit thread had a fan saying, “I get a kick out of Leo and javi I love when Leo was like we getting married on New Year’s Eve and all Of yall are invited random town square people, Javi being like no dude and he like never mind.”
“Lol Gwen is totally going to do something to ruin the wedding though,” replied a fan to the above comment.
The fan isn’t wrong either. Gwen (Emily O’Brien) was lurking around as Leo announced his wedding date to Javi to all of Horton Town Square.
It’s no secret that Gwen wants Leo out of town so he will stop looking into what EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) is doing at the secret free clinic lab. Since Leo won’t leave Javi, Gwen will need to revert to plan B.
Thanks to the winter promo for DAYS, fans know that Dimitri (Peter Porte) resurfaces from wherever Gwen and EJ made him disappear to. Dimitri plants a kiss on Leo in the footage, which means trouble for Leo and Javi.
While we don’t know for sure when things will go awry for Javi and Leo, a wedding is the soap opera way of blowing up a relationship. If that is the case, Leo’s happiness is about to be destroyed soon.
What do you think about Leo now? Does he deserve happiness with Javi, or does he deserve to have it taken away? Sound off in the comments section below.
