Hi all it's just the last one but I can see why

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

Thanks in advance

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.

It may be one character in you, Dave, but its four characters in me.

That's an argument in itself, innit?

The clue says A lead character which I took as being one of the letters of 'lead'.
