The pairing accumulated significant acclaim and media attention during their reign, 1999 to 2002, including two nominations at the Daytime Emmy Awards for America's Favorite Couple.

Greenlee eventually moves on to attempting to seduce Ryan Lavery, but gives him up when it becomes obvious that he only loves Gillian Andrassy.

Woodruff agrees to drop off the money at the boathouse (a placed where Pine Valley residents go for peace) in order to win his granddaughter's freedom.

Woodruff visits Leo in his jail cell and tells him that he will drop the charges against him if he agrees to take the rest of the ransom money and fly to Europe — and never see Greenlee again.

Roger catches wind of the agreement and flies in a woman from Verona, Italy named Katerina di Courcey.

Just two days later, the pair marry in Laura's hospital room with Brooke, Bianca Montgomery, David Hayward (Leo's half-brother), and nurse Zora in attendance.

However, in spite of her happiness, Laura's health continues to deteriorate rapidly and the only possible way to save her life is with a heart transplant.

In the nick of time, Leo learns that Gillian has been shot in the head and manages to convince her grieving husband, Ryan, to donate her heart to Laura.

Greenlee seizes her opportunity and is tossed in jail after violating a restraining order to steer clear of the married couple.

As he gives her back his ring, Greenlee, who was trapped by Laura in an air duct, sets off the sprinkler system in an attempt to get help.

The entire wedding party ducks for cover except for Leo, who feels cleansed of Laura and is ready to win Greenlee back.

Leo begins to wonder about the drug money she has stashed away somewhere, seeing the cash as a way for him and Greenlee to eventually move to their favorite city, Paris.

Vanessa develops a split personality, is admitted to the hospital as a psych patient, and Leo is drawn into her needs in spite of his better judgment.

Greenlee's father, Roger Smythe, who continues to worm his way back into her life, even after disappointing her countless times, is shot by drug operatives.

A few hours before he dies, he accidentally lets it slip to Greenlee that he was sleeping with her bridesmaid and close friend, Simone Torres.

When they return to town, the couple becomes embroiled with Trey and Kendall Hart, both of whom Greenlee despises, in a quest to track down the missing Proteus drug money.

The paper trail ends in worthless stocks, and with Vanessa being shipped off to a federal location, Greenlee seizes the opportunity to convince Leo to move to Paris with her.

However, Vanessa goes into a coma, "dies" for a few seconds, and comes back to life as the calm, sweet mother Leo never had, calling herself Nessa.

Trey assumed his dead best friend's identity and dedicated his life to wreaking havoc on the mother who had abandoned him at birth.

Reaching her breaking point, Vanessa was forced to aim the gun at Leo's head while gasping for air, threatening him not to make her kill him.

[2][3] The couple were a top contender in NBC's 2002 Soap Chat Viewers Choice Awards Cyber-Ceremony,[6] and in 2003, the duo's part in a young Bianca Montgomery "coming out" as gay was documented in C. Lee Harrington's book Homosexuality on All My Children: transforming the daytime landscape.

That’s the case with wicked cynics Leo and Greenlee, pals who schemed to win Becca and Ryan before coming to their senses and the conclusion that they belong with each other.

Take the one where Greens crashed a Halloween bash dressed as a harem girl and flirted with Leo at the punch bowl: 'Could you pour a cup for me?

Rather than telling us that the pair is in love, AMC shows us with lots of scenes with playful romance like that bubble bath or the tender moment when Leo gave Greens a puppy.

Add undeniable heat between Rebecca Budig and Josh Duhamel, two of AMC’s most riveting performers, and you’ve got a winning team.

[4]In 2007, Soaps In Depth listed the pairing among the ten perfect couples for the magazine's tenth anniversary issue.

[9] She argued that tragic couples such as Leo and Greenlee are a better love story than if they had stayed together with a "boring" everyday life.
