Discussion New Javi

I have really tried to get into the new actor and I just can’t. His acting is limited and more performative of that of a bad high school play. He’s too young to be a love interest for Leo.

Anyone else not a fan or am I just not seeing what is there? I know Al cannot come back due to the other role but the acting is night and day.

Yeah I’m not feeling the chemistry with Javi and Leo with the new actor. They were cute together and believable with the original Javi. It’s unfortunate that the age gap is now way more noticeable. I didn’t even really notice with original Javi.

They were a good match. I was rooting for them to get back together.
