Stefano & Victor were nasty villains, but were likable, as written..... and as portrayed by Joe Mascolo & John Aniston. The viewers liked them, tolerated their crimes, and were sorry when they no longer existed. (their portrayers died). Days really could use another villain of the same caliber, and Konstantin could have been that villain. Unfortunately he is not being written the same way.... smart, nasty but caring, polite, but evil. Instead he is creepy, sinister, a lowlife all the time. Am sure most of the public can't wait to see his demise.
