Lindsay Hartley Previews Her New Lifetime Movie, 'Dying to be Loved'

Lindsay Hartley
Lindsay Hartley shot to daytime fame as Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald on Passions, a role she played from 1999-2008. In 2000, she was not only nominated for the Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Female Newcomer, she wrote the song "Kiss Me" for her character, which she performed that year on the show.

In 2009, Hartley joined the cast of another NBC soap opera, Days of our Lives, in the role of Arianna Hernandez. The following year, Hartley signed on to play the new character of Cara Castillo on ABC's All My Children. After landing her first lead in a movie entitled, Perfect on Paper, for Hallmark Channel, Hartley joined the cast of Pop TV's Queens of Drama. Most recently, Hartley starred in Nightmare Nurse, for Lifetime.

Her latest project is another Lifetime Movie, Dying to be Loved, which premieres Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. She plays Jill Yates, a successful lawyer, engaged to Connor (Dan Payne), a self-made business man. Jill’s 18-year-old daughter, Emily (Paloma Kwiatkowsk), is a freshman in college. Extremely introverted and suffering from bouts of depression, Jill is thrilled when Emily asks if she can invite a young man to dinner. But Gary proves to be more dangerous than anyone thought when he is involved in a road rage incident while out with Emily and he ends up killing a man. Emily is also charged with the crime because she handled the gun – even though she was trying to keep Gary from using it.

Gary is convicted of manslaughter but released into the custody of his brother, a policeman, before going to prison. He convinces Emily to run away with him. She leaves a note for her mother saying life is not worth living if they can’t be together.

When a video camera appears to show the two jumping to their deaths in a “double suicide,” Jill is devastated and guilty. However, she believes Gary killed her daughter and faked his own death. She uses all her resources to discover the truth – her daughter is indeed alive. Now both mother and daughter must find a way to save themselves.

Serial Scoop recently spoke with Hartley about her time on Passions, Days of our Lives and Queens of Drama, and got a preview of Dying to be Loved. Read our exclusive interview below.

It’s really current in how the world is looking at our food issues now, and really growing what you eat. You don’t have to be buying lemons from Peru or Kale from Brazil.

EXCLUSIVE: Greg Vaughan Leaving 'Days of our Lives'

Greg Vaughan at the Days of our Lives 50th anniversary party.
Throughout his career, Greg Vaughan has played memorable characters in film (Poison Ivy, The New Seduction, Children of the Corn V), primetime television (Charmed, Beverly Hills 90210) and daytime drama (General Hospital, The Young and the Restless). The busy actor has wracked up an impressive list of credits, including his latest starring role for Hallmark in last night's world premiere of The Christmas Note. In 2012, Vaughan joined the cast of NBC daytime drama Days of our Lives as photojournalist-turned-priest Eric Brady. He now reveals to Serial Scoop that Days has elected to write out his popular character.

The character of Eric Brady has led a very complicated life. He left Salem in 2000 (played then by Jensen Ackles) as a photographer and returned 12 years later as a priest (played by Vaughan).  In 2013, Eric dealt with the aftermath of being drugged and sexually assaulted by Kristen DiMera (played by Eileen Davidson), with Vaughan turning in one mesmerizing performance after another as the tortured character questioned his path in life. Since that time, Eric has been busy managing his longtime friendship/relationship with Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker).  He also welcomed his ex, Serena Mason (Melissa Archer), to town only to see her murdered months later. He has now returned to his photography roots, and to the bottle.

Vaughan revealed in August that he had renewed his contract with Days. It turns out it was just a short-term extension to wrap up the character's story.  It wasn't his decision to leave his popular character behind.

Vaughan spoke with Serial Scoop about his exit from Days, and what's ahead. Check back soon for our exclusive interview.

It's so much clearer...at the cop shop, you never knew who was a cop or who was in charge. And since the new writers have come in, we know who is in charge. We brought in JJ, which has been great.

And he’s guided this show all the way to 50 years. His mom and dad I know would be proud. So I’m especially happy for Kenny. He and I are good friends, and I’m just thrilled for him. But I’m also thrilled to be a part of it. To celebrate the 50th and the ratings are kicking ass … higher than they’ve been in two years. All of our work is being rewarded. All the writers work. All the directors’ work. Albert’s [Alarr, co-executive producer[ work. Josh’s [Griffith, co-head writer) work. Janet’s [Spellman-Drucker, producer] work. Dena’s [Higley, co-head writer) work.
