For years, Leanna proved to be a thorn in the side of manyGenoa Cityresidents, including Ashley Abbott.
She added, “When it first started, that role was only supposed to be for three months.
We’d like to keep your character for another year.'

So I said OK and I worked on it for a year.
Then they said, ‘You know, it’s really working.
We want to hire you on for another three years.’

Stephen was treating Ashley Abbott for amnesia after she ran away to New York.
However, Leanna believed she belonged with Stephen which led her to attempt to murder Ashley on numerous occasions.
Jack conspired with Leanna for her to write a tell-all book about Victor using the pseudonym of Nora Randall.

Unaware that Leanna was Nora Randall,Victor eloped with Leannato Las Vegas to get revenge on Nikki.
Soon after, she pursued John Abbott, but her television show was a national hit.
Although Leanna disappeared for years, she did return in 2006 to torment Ashley again.
Since then, Leanna has only returned once more, to report on the death of Carmen Mesta.
So, every once in awhile, she comes back.
She’s just not part of the regular landscape anymore.
I could be back on there.”
