Dimitri Von Leuschner is also related to other "Days of Our Lives" fan-favorites: Carly Manning (Crystal Chappell) and Frankie Brady (Billy Warlock). Dimitri is the cousin of Carly and her brother, Frankie. As a member of the Von Leuschner family, Dimitri believed he had a claim to the Alamain gems because they were supposed to be part of Carly's dowry when she married Lawrence Alamain. However, because Carly and Lawrence's first wedding never happened, the gems weren't passed over to the family. Although the pair did eventually tie the knot, the Alamains still didn't give up the jewels and reminded Dimitri that Carly eventually killed Lawrence.
For his part, Peter Porte — who is also known for his work on "The Young and the Restless" — was thrilled to reprise the role of Dimitri on the soap and revealed that he was surprised to have a lengthy storyline. "I thought that was the end," the actor told Soap Opera News. "That was fun. See you later and then suddenly I got that call in October of last year, and they said, 'Would you like to come back?' I thought, I'll come back and do a couple of episodes and then a week later I received a contract for an extended period of time."
Fans are now excited to see what lies ahead for both Kate and Dimitri as they navigate their dangerous adventure together.
