Leanna - The Young and the Restless

Her return for a storyline would be epic! I remember back in the day she kept up so much mess! Exactly what the show needs some REAL drama. I imagine her exposing the Ashland cover up. Would be real juicy. I miss the old Y&R
Too much commentary now. Too bad they don’t listen to their fans. I have a feeling the Gala will be soooo boring

I wasn’t a Leanna fan but I agree the show is in dire need of a huge vitamin B12 shot or 2.

The short answer is she married Victor years ago late 80s I believe

her entire back story if you google Leanne on Y&R there is a lot there

I think her latest occupation is gossip columnist

Didn’t she pen a book called “Ruthless” about Victor?

Here is from Soap Central … about that
she got involved with Jack Abbott, who arranged for her to write a sensational tell-all biography, under the pseudonym of Nora Randall called “Ruthless: The Victor Newman Story,” which would expose and destroy Victor. Ironically, Victor also hired her to write an authorized biography of his life. Without Jack’s consent, or knowledge, Leanna added an extra chapter to “Ruthless” that chronicled Ashley’s ill-fated affair with Victor, including details about her abortion and nervous breakdown. Victor was outraged, assumed his estranged wife Nikki had been behind the exposé, and divorced her. In his anger, and still unaware that Leanna had written “Ruthless”, Victor took Leanna with him in his private jet telling the pilot to ‘head west’, and later returned to Genoa City married to Leanna. Victor decided to stay with her, even after he found out their marriage wasn’t legal because his divorce from Nikki was not final.
On her own, Leanna used her wiles to land a job as an advice columnist for the lovelorn at a publication owned by Victor using the pen name “Leanna Love”. Because Leanna felt guilty about “Ruthless”, and had come to genuinely care for Victor, she wrote another book called “Victor Newman - Man and Myth”, using her real name, Leanna Randolph. When Victor learned that Leanna and Jack Abbott had been lovers, he realized Leanna had written “Ruthless”. Victor publically fired her from his company and sold the publication, then divorced Leanna, and remarried Nikki. Victor devised a plan to punish Jack by orchestrating a takeover of Jabot, displaced Jack, and made Brad Carlton his superior.

I really wish that Miguel would have been invited back…He was such an integral part of the Newman home and kept those snotty Newman’s bearable to watch

Unless many more prior cast members show up, than who had been listed. …i think they left too many off the invited

That is the worst slap in the face to a prior legacy character

I totally agree with that but maybe he was invited and declined the offer. I get the feeling he’s not real happy with the powers that be. Idk but maybe he was

Doink! There we go. Thank you, I remember the book Ruthless, and Leanna Love, I forgot about just plain Leanna. Thanks again!

In spoilers that can be read on this site Leanna will be in GC on Friday this week (US show)…guess in Canada it’ll be Thurs’ show…

Barbara Crampton was fabulous as Leanna Love, looking forward to her appearance at the gala.
