In the GENESIS TV series, Leah has faced significant hardship, often being despised by those around her. However, the narrative shifts dramatically on social media. The sweet and loving character, portrayed by Michelle Batista in the sixth phase/season of Record TV’s acclaimed production, has become one of the most beloved figures among fans.

Highly active online, the actress stated in an interview with the official website that she has been following the reactions: “I have received so much affection! I always knew that a biblical TV series could be different, but I didn’t anticipate the extent of the impact it’s having now. Many people are talking about Leah, expressing how much she inspires them and how beautiful her journey is. This brings a tremendous responsibility for me, but I am truly happy with the public’s support.”

For Michelle Batista, Leah’s story—the mother of seven of Jacob’s (Miguel Coelho) 13 children—won over fans for her positive attitude towards life despite all the family conflicts: “She’s a wonderful character because she is kind and sweet but not naive. She’s strong, and I think that’s what sets Leah apart. While everyone may perceive her as weak, she is actually very strong and resilient. She pursues the things she wants, which is truly beautiful.”

The actress also shared that she misses Leah: “I feel pure gratitude for this work and all the reactions to the series. It was a fantastic opportunity to play this sweet, captivating woman. I was very happy with the experience.”
