Eh, I don't really see an issue with it. Regardless of Sami's hands-up with John, John and Marlena have been together all of Allie's life; he at the very least would consider her his granddaughter and it's not out of the question she might have grown up seeing him as one of her grandfathers.
The problem I actually have is the SORAS element and the fact that we have to speculate as to the nature of their relationship, since now there are literally decades worth of interaction between these two characters they've skipped over and retroactively forced to take place off screen. It's entirely plausible for John and Allie to have had a close relationship as she grew up, but the show couldn't be bothered to show it.

The other day when Steve and Kayla were talking about Tripp and Allie's situation, it was implied that Kayla believed Allie. And Steve's comment was "How can you believe Allie, someone you barely know, over your own stepson?" Which, in my option, effectively negated Kayla's blood relationship to Allie, and implied that Allie barely knew any of her relatives in Salem since she grew up in Italy.

Which, in my option, effectively negated Kayla's blood relationship to Allie, and implied that Allie barely knew any of her relatives in Salem since she grew up in Italy. I mean, somehow their daughter grew up barely knowing Max, Kayla's own adopted brother; who, if memory serves, was initially treated more like she could have become her adopted son back in the day. Apparently Kayla doesn't keep in touch with her family very well. Besides, I've got aunts and uncles I hardly see and cousins I barely know; and I have aunts and uncles I see often and cousins that I grew up with that are practically like siblings. One time, when a cousin on mother's side was getting married, my brother and I both assumed neither of us were invited. We were all adults by then, neither he nor I received an invitation, but our sister (who was living on her own) had received one, as well as our mom. My brother and I weren't all that put out by it, we both agreed we didn't know that cousin very well and assumed that was the reason we weren't invited; weddings are expensive and not everyone makes the cut, which we both thought was perfectly reasonable. I forget how it came about, but I eventually get a call from my uncle, who's like, "no, of course your invited! We sent an invitation to your mom (whom we didn't live with) we just assumed she'd tell you..." 🤷♂️ My brother ended up having a conflict, and I came down with a cold that weekend and couldn't go anyway. But just the same, I hardly see him or his kids. Admittedly I've seen them more now in recent years than at that time, but still not very often. I try to avoid most of their politically charged posts on social media, for want of avoiding a rage stroke.... Meanwhile, I'm much closer to most of the rest of his siblings/my mom's siblings, and even more so to their mom, my grandmother. The same can be said on my dad's side too. He has a lot of brothers and a sister that I don't see often, some even live in town (one of them is my godfather); and I guarantee what some of them know or think they know about me is at best on par with a passing acquaintance. I've done plays with people who know me better. And the same was true with my paternal grandmother before she passed; I was fairly close with her. And growing up, her husband was my dad's step-dad, whom she married after he was already an adult; he wasn't particularly close to him, but I still grew up thinking of him one of my grandpas.
