7d Long Story without a lead character (5) Y?A?N is it YEARN? I can see YARN as a story but why E?

I agree, the clue looks wrong.

Long - Yearn
Story - Yarn

So it should read without (around) 'e'

Very odd
Clumsy (IMO) clueing might be "Yarn" about one of the "characters" in "lead".

But me no like.
as in lEad
That would be poor I agree.
The E is a character in lEad.
sorry, too late.
It may be one character in you, Dave, but its four characters in me.

That's an argument in itself, innit?
...there's no "I" in team, but... etc.

Thank you all so much
The clue says A lead character which I took as being one of the letters of 'lead'.
