Trisha Mann-Grant on Leslie's Sympathy: Beyond the Gates

0:00It's April 27th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered and star driven. Trisha Mangrant, who plays the breakout villain Leslie Dana Thomas on Beyond the Gates, is pushing back on how fans see her character. She insists Leslie deserves some sympathy as a victim herself, even after all the chaos she's caused. In a new interview, Mangrant dove into Leslie hiding her daughter Eva's true paternity from Ted Richardson her whole life. She argues Leslie isn't a full-blown narcissist, because those types never take blame, but her character shows glimmers of accountability. Fans have made Leslie the soaps drama queen since day one, with her plotting against Laura Peterson trying to take her out multiple times, steering. Her daughter's path into the Richardson family and sabotaging Ted's marriage. That hate keeps viewers glued. Mangrant kicked off her career in 2000 with the film Retiring Tatiana, hit TV with the parkers in 2003, and now juggles beyond.
