I always liked Leon.  Not sure why GH or Y&R hated her.

I mean, is she my favourite? No. But do I dislike her? No. At Y&R, I think she entered into a no-win situation replacing fan favourite Lyndsy Fonseca. I did not mind her. Was it different? Yes. But I just think she wasn't going to win.

As for GH, IIRC, she chose to leave GH in 2005/2006, but I could be wrong. As for the 2011 exit, I can't recall if that was her choice or if the serial just wrote her out. Shame, even though her story then was a mess. From seducing Dante (via Carly's request) to her dalliance with Nikolas.

I think the show just wrote her out in 2011?  She lingered on with Nik for awhile, but I think Tyler's real life problems might have derailed the story? Her and Liz would spar sometimes.  

She was at Sonny and Brenda's wedding if that gives you a vague timeline, but I remember her being around a bit longer.

It took Willow losing her kids for Drew to finally ask himself if he was the problem 🤦🏽‍♂️

According to Soaps In Depth, her exit had nothing to do with Tyler Christopher's then-impending exit.

It's like the show had no idea what to with her so I assumed it correlated.  She was being paid by Nik to be his date for functions so the story clearly ran out lol.

That's exactly what it was; they brought her in for the Carly/Dante/Lulu storyline, decided to keep her around, and then just... gave up. And her exit came around the ending months of Robert Guza Jnr's tenure, so I guess he was burnt out.

But she was very clear she never hooked up with Dante and they were just friends and never anything more.

And here we are lol

So I guess will just call that entire narrative a loss

Vanessa returned so I was high key on alert in watching

Brook Lynn was trying to steal a pretzel from a random vendor and Carly offered her money to seduce Dante.  I do like a toasted pretzel, but this girl was an heiress out of money?  She stated Dante doesn't like her like that and it's going to be a difficult task.  I don't think she even got the money because she literally drugged Dante and Lulu bitched slapped her.

It was a mess of a time; felt like Guza was throwing out sticky bombs in the hopes some would stick, and they just did not. He was burnt out by that point.

Not burnt out enough to try to make a Dante/Brenda baby a thing...............................

They want Dante to have all these babies; I get it, because he's yummy, but damn.

Her last line to Brook Lynn today had me cursing her out 😂

I was cheering! The last thing we need is a Lulu/BLQ peace treaty. AS/AH have become good sparring partners. Contrast that with the Chase/Dante spat, which was completely forced.

Drew - did not expect that. CM plays smarmy Drew so well, it's impossible to tell if it was sincere or another manipulation. 

Side note: Tracy mentioned it was 'Thursday' on today's show. Was there a national pre-emption in the last few weeks - (not Memorial Day)? Or did they insert a new episode somewhere? I know the latter has happened before.

Yeah... somebody really needs to punch Lulu in the face

Brooklyn should beat the brakes off comatose trick. Knock that ass right back into that coma for good. Woo Woo is one of those types of people who needs to be laid tf out to get the message of what repeatedly playing god with other people's lives for her own selfish purpose & pathetic 2 week I'm a journalist career gets you. She hasn't learned a damn thing yet despite repeatedly being warned & dragged over the decades for the same reckless self asbored me me me behavior.

Every time I see her face, I get ill she's beyond repulsive. AH plays her as a one-note, hard, sanctimonious, smug shrieking, shrill, sour puss harpy, who lacks likeability, warmth & depth. She's soooooo nonchalant after being a selfish, hypocritical, destructive, chaotic agent over a petty childish one-sided fued while being besties with the architect of the very thing she hates Brooklyn for. A whole bird I'm going to need Sam to rise from the dead and snatch her liver back Between her, Willow, Nutjob stina & Joss I don't know who is worse. There are so many unlikable twits, so little time.

I feel like we're going back to the guza days when no one was allowed to knock her slap happy arse dead in her ish until the scabs came along. I'm THE Luke Spencer daughter, hear me roar, as I exhibit the worst characteristic of my equally loathsome father & equally shrew cousin in one. None of this is occ since this has been pretty much been the standard behavior & characteristics of Lulu since she was aged. Always been her father's daughter with equal parts cousin Carly, except for part of when ER played her in the beginning she was softer, more like Laura & less insufferable than JMB version but it didn't last long. This is what the majority of Lulu fans, Lante fans & some Laura wanted back the OG version on steroids.
