DAYS OF OUR LIVES SPOILERS HINT LEO STARK’S DREAM WEDDING IS ABOUT TO BECOME A NIGHTMARE
TL;DR: Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez are set to say “I Do” on Days of Our Lives this Friday, but with Gwen making threats and a mysterious wedding date in play, this ceremony is destined for disaster. Could Dimitri Von Leuschner crash the party?
Leo Stark Finally Gets His Happily Ever After… Or Does He?
After years of scheming, heartbreak, and being Salem’s most delightfully chaotic gossip columnist, Leo Stark is finally getting his fairy tale ending. The Days of Our Lives spoilers confirm that Leo and Javi Hernandez will be getting ready to say “I Do” on Friday, January 2nd, with the Hernandez family preparing for the upcoming nuptials all week long. Leo even turns to Marlena for an assist on Thursday, presumably to work through his pre-wedding jitters. It should be the happiest day of Leo Stark’s life.
Except this is Salem, and nothing ever goes according to plan for Leo.
The warning signs are everywhere, and fans who have been paying attention know that this wedding has “disaster” written all over it in giant, flashing neon letters. Between Gwen’s threats and one very suspicious phone call, Leo’s dream wedding might just become his worst nightmare.
Gwen Rizchech Is Out for Blood on Days of Our Lives
Let’s start with the most obvious threat to Leo’s happiness: his former bestie turned nemesis, Gwen Rizchech. The DAYS spoilers reveal that Gwen “becomes frustrated” on Friday, which is wedding day. But what’s really raising eyebrows is what happened earlier this month.
Gwen literally threatened Leo’s LIFE, warning him that if he doesn’t keep his mouth shut about her dealings with EJ, he’ll find himself as Salem’s next “great unsolved mystery.” She told him to stay away unless he wants to end up in the afterlife. This isn’t just a friendship falling apart; this is Gwen going full villain mode on the man who used to be her ride or die.
And then there’s that phone call. Right after bonding with Gabi over drinks on December 23rd, Gwen called someone to say she’d need a “New Year’s Eve date for a wedding.” A DATE. For LEO’S wedding. Who exactly is Gwen bringing to watch her former best friend marry someone else?
Could Dimitri Von Leuschner Crash Leo Stark’s Wedding?
Here’s where things get absolutely FERAL, and fans need to sit down for this one.
Peter Porte, who played Dimitri Von Leuschner, is reportedly returning to Days of Our Lives. For those who need a refresher, Dimitri was the love of Leo Stark’s life AND Gwen’s husband. Yes, you read that right. Leo and Gwen were both in love with the same man, and when Dimitri chose to run off with Leo instead of staying with Gwen, it absolutely destroyed her.
Leo was DEVASTATED when Dimitri eventually left him. That relationship was the closest Leo ever came to true love before Javi came along. And now, with Gwen making mysterious phone calls about wedding dates and Dimitri’s name being whispered around Salem again, the pieces are falling into terrifying place.
What if Gwen’s “date” to Leo’s wedding is Dimitri himself?
The Perfect Storm for Wedding Day Chaos on DAYS
Think about it. Gwen has every reason to want Leo’s wedding ruined. She’s furious with him for snooping into her business with EJ. She’s threatened his life multiple times. And she knows exactly which button to push to absolutely obliterate Leo emotionally: Dimitri Von Leuschner.
Imagine Leo standing at the altar, ready to commit his life to Javi, when the doors burst open and in walks the man who shattered his heart. Dimitri, probably looking devastatingly handsome because Peter Porte, with Gwen on his arm looking like the cat who ate the canary.
Would Leo be able to go through with the wedding? Would Javi understand that Dimitri was Leo’s great “what if”? Would Gwen finally get her revenge for Leo stealing her husband all those years ago?
The DAYS spoilers say Gwen becomes “frustrated” on Friday. Maybe that frustration comes from her plan not working the way she hoped. Or maybe it comes from watching Leo actually go through with the wedding despite Dimitri’s presence. Either way, this wedding is going to be MESSY.

Leo deserves happiness. If Dimitri comes back, arm in arm with Gwen, her feelings toward him are more deeper than we think. Leave Leo alone. Someone should escort both of them out. Leo found true love with Javi,
