Alexander and the boat

Does anyone feel so bad for Alexander? He has gone through the same experience as Anna so is obviously not going to be lighthearted, he too must be shaken up. Then as soon as he was uncovered everyone was clearly disappointed it was not Leon so must have upset by that. Then they start interrogating him getting him to explain the exact story and get suspicious as soon as he misses out the smallest detail. We must be missing some screen time because Leon seems very well liked by the group but to me he just seems like one of the background characters with really no personality. Also Joe saying “i better be pulling Leon back” irritated me!
