Trisha Mann-Grant has won soap fans over with her performance as Leslie on Beyond The Gates. While Leslie has pulled many villainous stunts, there was one moment that took the actress by surprise.
Key Takeaways
- Mann-Grant made her debut as Leslie on BTG’s debut episode.
- Leslie has become Fairmont Crest’s top villain, causing trouble for The Duprees.
- While Leslie has her soft moments, most of her actions are on the heinous side.
Truly Diabolical
Mann-Grant has become a household name thanks to her BTG role. Her performance as the wicked, yet sometimes vulnerable Leslie has soap fans buzzing.
Leslie’s quest for a better life for herself and her daughter, Eva (Ambyr Michelle), has caused pain for others, especially the Duprees. Leslie has become Fairmont Crest’s biggest villain, and she’s always plotting her next scheme.
Not only have Leslie’s actions taken Fairmont Crest by surprise, but also Mann-Grant. During a recent interview on BTG’s Instagram, the actress opened up about her character. “Leslie. I remember really finding that character and knowing that she was definitely diabolical.”
One of Leslie’s diabolical moments was revealing Eva’s paternity at Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Nicole’s (Daphnee Duplaix) anniversary party. But one particular scene with Nicole had Mann-Grant realizing her character was truly a villain.
“That conversation was something else, but it was in my-it was in her mind. And, that let me know that, okay, this lady is going to be doing a lot of tricky things.”
Mann-Grant then recalled that the scene had many emotions, along with sincere and manipulative moments from Leslie. “But that anniversary scene where I realized this character, she’s something else,” the actress explained.
More Trickery For Leslie?
Mann-Grant has excelled as Leslie, making her a character fans love to hate. Leslie has not only succeeded in breaking up Ted and Nicole, but now she’s causing trouble for the other Duprees. As the daughter of the late Articulettes member Barbara, Leslie got a windfall thanks to the trust Anita (Tamara Tunie) set up.
Leslie is enjoying her new wealth while also engaging in her number one hobby, troublemaking. While Leslie thinks she’s untouchable, BTG fans believe she’s headed for a downfall.
Her latest dealings with Joey (Jon Lindstrom) has started speculation that Leslie is about to lose her money. Joey has proven he can be just as manipulative as Leslie. And since he has a previous alliance with the Duprees, odds are he won’t turn against them.
Leslie might get a taste of her own medicine by partnering with Joey for the clinic. The casino owner will find a way to swindle Leslie, putting her wealth, status, and possibly freedom at risk.
With Leslie heading towards a possible downfall, there’s no doubt Mann-Grant will knock it out of the park. As for Leslie, she’s proven she’s not someone who goes down without a fight.
