Leslie Gets Some Backlash
The snarky comments began when Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree) posted some clips from CBS about some of the footage from the show. It showed something about The Articulettes reunion tour.
In her caption on Instagram, the BTG actress wrote, “Dramatic notes indeed!” Adding, “Is everyone caught up..?” Her hashtags included, “#beyondthegates #cbs #paramountplus”
Well, the clips revealed that the narrator said, “A musical celebration, hits some dramatic notes.” In the footage, fans saw that Dana Leslie Thomas arrived, and other cast members were talking about it.
“What the hell is she thinking coming here?” asked Dani (Karla Mosley) of Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix). Vernon (Clifton Davis) wasn’t happy at all, saying, “If you dare ruin this night for my wife…” and Ted (Keith D. Robinson) staring up said, “Stay away from my wife.”
And, the backlash from fans started straight away.

Some Fans Are Tired Of Trisha’s Character
In the comments section, a critic wrote, “Love this soap but so over Leslie.” Notably, they were not alone in expressing their irritation. Another person said in the replies, “me too.”
Meanwhile, someone else with similar sentiments gave Dana Leslie Thomas a back-handed sort of compliment, opining, “I hate to say it but I am too. She is needed on the show & she’s doing a great job but I’m over her.”
Another fan of BTG noted, “No telling what Cray cray Leslie did!

Drew Cain 2.0?
One fan who didn’t seem to hate the character that Trisha Mann-Grant plays, mentioned that she’s hated because she does such a good job acting her role. Well, that sounds rather similar to the problems that Cameron Mathison faces.
Sometimes, his acting as Drew Cain is so good that GH viewers have trouble separating the actor from the real person. He’s got a lot of hate mail from viewers of the show, and he spoke about it publicly during various interviews on social media.
There are valid reasons why viewers might dislike Dana Leslie Thomas. For instance, recent spoilers about the show suggest that Leslie will fake or exaggerate an injury. And it might have something to do with a clash between her and Nicole Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix).
Other people have complained that her character seems to be vicious and villainous despite her bringing plenty of talking points to the show. She was responsible for nearly killing off Laura, Nicole’s assistant. Plus, her manipulative personality has not gone unnoticed.
Hopefully, the hate for her character doesn’t manifest into extreme responses like hate mail and confrontation when she’s seen in public. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below, and come back here often for all your Beyond The Gates cast news and updates.
