Lindsay Hartley, a talented actress, loving mom, beautiful singer and more is greatly missed on daytime soaps. Fans would remember her as Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane on Passions from 1999 – 2008 or as Arianna Hernandez on Days of Our Lives from 2009 – 2010 or even as Cara Castillo on All My Children from 2010 – 2011 and 2013. Hartley really left an impact on fans so much so that social media is often filled with memories of her different soap roles.
Soap Opera Digest spoke with the talented actress who has been writing her own movies and has 2 in the pipeline for Lifetime. On the topic of considering a soap return Hartley shared, “Of course, I would, 100 percent! I love the soaps. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for them. I mean, I met my husband (Justin Hartley) and even though we’re not together, we have a beautiful daughter. I’m grateful for working consistently, meeting new friends and creating a fun character who totally was the opposite of me. I’ll tell you the secret; I used to struggle. I feel like I’m more of a realist and my character was driven by fate. I used to go, ‘I don’t know how can I make this work. How do I make this real?’ It was a struggle, but I found out she had a really cool, different way of looking at life.“
So, fans – would you like to see her character Arianna resurrected on Days of Our Lives? What other soap would you like to see her do?
