'Porto Leone': Big twists and emotion in tonight's finale

The popular Greek television series "Porto Leone: In the Neighborhood with the Red Lights" is set to conclude tonight with a finale packed with tension, plot twists, and strong emotional moments. Ahead of the final episode, lead actors Marina Aslanoglou and Alekos Syssovititis appeared on the show "Super Katerina" to discuss their characters and hint at the gripping developments awaiting viewers.

Marina Aslanoglou, who portrays the controversial character Alexandra, admitted that her character has become someone viewers "loved to hate." Aslanoglou explained that the murder of her son, Stratos, profoundly impacted Alexandra, driving her towards an irreversible path of revenge. "Alexandra never got over Stratos's murder. Her hatred clouded her judgment and she would stop at nothing, not even her own child," the actress stated, highlighting her character's descent into darkness.

Alekos Syssovititis, playing Ilias Kapetanakos, emphasized that the series' characters should not be judged by contemporary standards, as they inhabit a different era and social reality. "We are not the court of public opinion. We are called to portray these people, not to judge them so harshly," he remarked. Syssovititis also teased that Andreas's stance towards his family in the final episode will be particularly impactful.

The actors also touched upon the complex relationship between Ilias and Alexandra, describing their love as deep despite the conflicts and secrets that divided them. They acknowledged that both characters were aware of each other's true nature from the outset, adding a unique dimension to their bond. Syssovititis noted Ilias's significant transformation following Stratos's death, leading to a new perspective on life, further influenced by the appearance of his daughter, Liana.

Aslanoglou hinted at Alexandra's fate, suggesting the character will receive "the ending she deserves," which may not align with absolute justice but fits her journey. She also revealed a particularly moving scene between Alexandra and Stelaras, a character she deeply loved. The finale is expected to provide answers to all the story's open questions.
