Character Profile: Leslie Thomas on BeyondTheGates
Oh hell yes, party time indeed—Leslie Thomas just got crowned the undisputed Queen of Chaos by Soap Opera Digest, and we all know why. See? I have good taste.
Trisha Mann-Grant is straight-up Chicago-bred—born and raised on the south side, graduated high school there, and hit up Roosevelt University (where I served both my undergrad and graduate years). This phenomenal actress has been serving unhinged elegance all year as Dana “Leslie” Thomas on Beyond the Gates: the waitress with a smile sweet enough to rot teeth, a wig collection deeper than her grudges, and a talent for turning revenge into a damn art form. From running rivals off the road to fake rooftop meltdowns, she’s the villain we love to hate (and secretly root for).
Bow down to the new reigning monarch of messy—long may she scheme. 👑🖤
