The thing I love the most about Alastor is that we can't truly know what to think of him, if he is being truly manipulative or if there's a genuine undertone behind any of his words, and that allows people to interpret him differently from one person to another. Like "oh he's being so sweet and supportive", to "no actually he's just saying what people want to hear because he's an evil manipulator". Maybe some fans are being too trustful, just like Charlie, and falling into his lies. BUT maybe there's a true genuine undertone to everything he says, maybe he can be a sweetie behind his evil mask. And maybe he'll turn out redeemable. Or not at all. Who knows?
His character could go in two completely different directions in the next seasons and we have no way of telling how he'll turn out. It's still fully open because he showed he can be awful and evil and manipulative, but since there's been very few hints here and there that he could get attached to the hotel, that means he could be sweet despite all that. The mystery and uncertainty is keeping us thinking and hoping and I LOVE that. He's such a unique and amazingly written character.
On a personal note, I think the two different directions his character could take should coexist. Yes, he's going to be a main villain in the future seasons and betray Charlie and the hotel, yes he's an evil manipulator, BUT he could also get attached to them and show redeemable qualities at the same time. For me it would make the heartbreak even greater and his character even more satisfying.

eventual iasip plotline where mac and dennis decide to move out on their own - they’re in their late 40s, they’ve been living together for over two decades, they both blame each other for how little progress they’ve made toward their life goals (or maybe mac just put a red sock in the wash with dennis’ white shirts, and that’s the final straw). whatever the case, they both want out.
they need to find two suckers to take over their lease, but how? it’s impossible to find a good realtor in south philly…
enter vic vinegar and hugh honey.
each time mac and dennis show the apartment, something goes wrong, something breaks - a light fixture falls from the ceiling, mac’s room is completely made up of inflatable furniture (turns out he never got rid of it all from the “inflates”scheme), dennis’ spooky escape room mechanism goes off. vic and hugh try to make up for the chaos by being charming; holding hands, telling personal anecdotes, trying to woo prospective buyers with their rich gay lore.
and in the process, somehow, impossibly, dennis falls back in love with spending time with mac; playing pretend with him; scheming with him. and mac, who has all but given up on his pursuit of dennis, is clueless.
until the final scene of the episode when, in a last ditch desperate effort to lock in some new tenants, dennis grabs mac by the cheeks and kisses him so hard he nearly breaks his nose.
partners in real estate, and as of season 17, partners in life.
