Why He Would Kill Leo: Craig put it all on the line for his would-be husband, only to find out that everything anyone had ever said about him was true. At least, all the bad stuff. Why He Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Despite it all, Craig loves Leo. Not enough to try and work things out, but probably enough to let bygones be bygones.
Nancy Wesley

Why She Would Kill Leo: To be clear, Nancy has definitely moved on (with an assist from gal pal Bonnie and new beau Clyde). But Leo seems unable to stop pushing all her buttons, even going so far as to rip her wig off in public! Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Like we said, Nancy has moved on. The last thing she needs is to get caught up in is the murder of her ex-husband’s ex-lover.
Abigail DiMera

Why She Would Kill Leo: When not lusting after her husband, Leo’s done everything in his power to discredit Chad… including doing interviews about their non-existent affair. Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Abigail has bigger fish to fry, including his blast-from-the-past bestie, Gwen. (Plus, there are those nasty rumors that she’ll soon be too dead to kill anyone!)
Chad DiMera

Why He Would Kill Leo: Given everything Leo’s done since first they crossed paths, Chad might just eliminate the troublemaker for fun. But should Leo do anything to harm so much as a hair on Abigail’s head, he’ll find out why it’s a bad idea to mess with a DiMera. Why He Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Frankly, the only reason Chad wouldn’t do the deed is if someone beat him to the punch!
Will Horton

Why He Would Kill Leo: Since first arriving in Salem, the schemer has made Will’s life hell. Now, that Leo is up to his old tricks, it might be time for the writer to craft a murder mystery with himself as the killer! Why He Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Will has fought too long and too hard to carve out a happy life for himself, his husband and their daughter. He wouldn’t risk losing it all.
Vivian Alamain

Why She Would Kill Leo: Lest anyone forget, it was she who brought Leo to town and paid him to seduce Sonny. Surely the woman who buried Carly alive would happily put Leo in the ground, for realsies, to keep any other secrets he might know from coming out. Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Doing so might reveal to everyone the fact that her latest death, like so many in Salem, was of the fake variety, which would land her behind bars for the crimes she skipped town to avoid paying for.
Why He Would Kill Leo: What’s the point of being rich, powerful and ruthless if not to eliminate the people who hurt those you love? And Leo has brought pain to just about everyone Victor knows! Why He Woulnd’t Kill Leo: Um, because he’s rich, powerful and ruthless. Those kind of folks don’t kill people. They have other people do that. People like…
Xander Kiriakis

Why He Would Kill Leo: These days, Xander has been doing his darndest to stay on the straight and narrow. But he really, really likes money, so were Uncle Victor to make him an offer he definitely should refuse, there’s no saying he’d actually do so. Why He Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Only one thing really stands between Xander and the person he once was, and that’s Sarah. There’s no way he’d risk losing the woman he loves. Unless, of course, Leo were to put her in harm’s way…
Gwen Rizczech

Why She Would Kill Leo: These two knew each other long before either arrived in Salem, which means they know all one another’s deepest, darkest secrets. And you know what they say: Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead. Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: It ain’t like Gwen has a lot of people who would have her back. Would she really do away with the one person who has more enemies in town than she does?
Jackie Cox

Why She Would Kill Leo: If Rupaul’s Drag Race has taught us one thing, it’s that hell hath no fury like a drag queen scorned. Perhaps Jackie — aka Darius — wasn’t quite as over Leo as she claimed to be! Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Girl, Jackie already got the best revenge possible when she prevented Leo from marrying a rich doctor. Why kill a person you’ve already slayed?
Diana Colville

Why She Would Kill Leo: There’s no love lost between Diana and the son who once called her “the most evil person in the history of the world.” (And that’s coming from Leo!) Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Honestly, it seems more likely that he’d do away with her. Your honor, we submit into evidence the photo above…
Kate Roberts

Why She Would Kill Leo: Leo’s been messing with Kate’s grandson for years. Perhaps Kate might finally put to use those skills she learned on that trawler years ago by gutting Leo like a fish. Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Kate’s never really been the murdery type. Sure, she tried to poison Chloe but we all see how well that worked. She’s far more likely to come along after a crime’s been committed and try to cover it up… right, Lucas?
Chloe Lane

Why She Would Kill Leo: Chloe was instrumental in helping to open dad Craig’s eyes to the wicked ways of his weasly beau. Now, Leo’s looking for ways to make her pay… which could bring out her dark side! Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: The erstwhile Ghoul Girl just isn’t the type, given how often she’s been haunted by her rare forays into the types of mischief so easily made by other Salemites.
Brady Black

Why He Would Kill Leo: Brady was more than willing to help Chloe come between Craig and Leo, and the schemer would love nothing more than to return the favor. But Brady’s fought too long and hard to re-win Chloe’s heart to let Leo torpedo them! Why He Wouldn’t Kill Leo: Brady’s watched ex Kristen — herself a one-woman crime wave — be forced to abandon their daughter, Rachel, too often to put himself in a situation where both her parents are on the run.
Jan Spears

Why She Would Kill Leo: Frankly, we have no clue, but it just felt wrong to put together a list of suspects and not include Jan. After all, she murdered Charlie — whom she barely kenw — just to frame Belle! Why She Wouldn’t Kill Leo: People, it’s Jan. There’s absolutely no reason that she wouldn’t do it… including just for fun!
