Leo's mother

[Just Samantha]

The spoiler said we'd be surprised at the connection, so it's at least someone who was in Salem at one time, or someone connected to another Salemite.

I tend to lean towards Anjelica Devereaux. There were the initials AD on one of the doors in that warehouse in Nashville that Nicole saw. It might have been Anjelica since we were shown onscreen that she was revived after her death. She might have had Leo after she sent Alexander back to Justin and Adrienne. It might also explain some of Leo's envy towards the Kiriakis family and wealth.

This sounds exactly like something Days would do. And if it's true, Alexander probably won't be far behind since he would be brothers with both Leo and Sonny. We haven't seen Alexander since he was a toddler so he could be any age now. And the show really needs a next generation business savvy Kiriakis since they seem dead set against bringing Philip back.

And since the show has 2 Jacksons, a Jack Jr and a Thomas Jack, why not have an Alexander and an Alexandros (Xander) too?

That sounds interesting to me!

I mean sure.... why not Anjelica...... I mean so far everyone is buying Stefan being Vivian's son.....he was born around the same time as the off screen Quinn and the why in the heck is he still off screen Philip....... these boys are all what months apart in the magic of Salem aging.... I mean really who wouldn't want to continually pop out kids in Salem....where your pregnancy doesn't last that long and two days after giving birth you are walking around in your pre-pregnancy clothing..... heck I'd move there just for the walking around normally part.... in sweat pants.....

 

[Poirot]

Remains to be seen, but I read somewhere that Leo's mother is Diana Colville....No idea if that is the case, but guessing we will soon find out.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

I've heard that whisper, too, but it hardly seems like she's connected enough to Salem to matter. She dated John when he was Roman, and interacted with Jack. I don't think she mattered to anyone else??

 

[Mr. Continuity]

So I knew nothing about this time in Days history so I looked in YouTube. Diane Colville played by Genie Francis from GH. Would they actually give John another gay son? Here is a video

Currently Genie Francis is in the middle of a big story on GH but I guess that doesn't matter. Other articles from a year ago said the new writers should bring her back. Fun to speculate.

I don't remember this period. What was Victor's involvement/relationship?

 

[Heather4CU]

Remember a lot of these folks going around with the Diana Colville rumor also claimed that Chad was John and Marlena's love child from 1986. Grain of salt folks.

 

[Poirot]

I did read somewhere that Leo's mother will be played by an actress who is coming on board, and her name is Diana, but not Colville. As noted, grain of salt....time will tell. Rumors fly, speculation, and too often, the speculation is treated as fact. Let's not jump the gun.

There was another Diane in Salem years ago. Diane Parker was a character in the 80's. She was a hooker that Megan Hathaway paid to take her son. Megan told Bo it was their child, that she got pregnant in high school and her parents forced her to give up the baby. Bo bought the story and embraced Zach as his own, until he eventually uncovered the truth. He reunited Diane with her son, and he and the Horton and Brady families became close to them. He and Hope even had Zach as the ring bearer in their original wedding.

Not saying Leo is Zach (or perhaps another child of Diane's), just saying there was another character with that name (Diana/Diane) years ago. But her being in Salem wouldn't really cause any conflict with other characters. Plus, she was a good mother. She only gave Zach to Megan because Megan convinced her she'd give him a great life, one that Diane couldn't provide.

Here's Bo with Diane and Zach, and Carrie with Zach:

And here he is in Bo and Hope's wedding:

I remember Diana Colville and I think I liked them as a couple but I don’t remember what Victor had to do with it! Lol. Also going by that video- they used to glam it up back then!

 

[Just Samantha]

You can read about Diana's time in Salem within John Black's bio on Beth's Days of Our Live's site (no longer online):

Scroll down to the 13th paragraph.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

I hate to say it, but there was also a Diane Hunter. She was Susan's mother. LOL

 

[Just Samantha]

I'd say she was a little long in the tooth to be Leo's mother, but hey, it's Salem. Alice Horton and Caroline Brady could've given birth to newborns in their 80's.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

Perhaps she also used Salem's miracle egg facility? LOL

 

[WhizGidget]

Not saying Leo is Zach

OMG, if Leo turned out to somehow be Zack. Talk about turning Salem on its ear.
And, please, oh please, don't let that be true.

 

[Just Samantha]

Not Zack Brady, Bo and Hope's son. I was referring to Zach Parker, the little boy Megan Hathaway used to try and convince Bo she had secretly given birth to his son when they were in high school. Megan never had Bo's baby. Zack Brady and Zach Parker are two completely different children and are 100% unrelated to one another. They just have the same first name, although spelled differently.

 

[Poirot]

Leo's original name was Matthew Cooper, if I remember right. He was using an alias, inasmuch as he was in the "escort" business.......

 

[Just Samantha]

One of Jordan Ridgeway's aliases was Joan Cooper. Days really needs to keep track of the names they reuse.
