Days of Our Lives’ Molly Burnett on True Blood. (Updated)
If it sometimes feels as though Molly Burnett (Melanie Layton, Days of Our Lives) is acting on a different show from everyone else, guess what? She is.
The talented young actress has landed a Primetime gig on the sexy vampire series “True Blood.” Burnett will by playing Amanda, a young Christian girl playing the lead singer of an all-female Christian band. She will be handing out “honesty rings” at the Rising Sun Leadership Conference and the band will be performing a song about abstinence that gives the boys in the audience the wrong idea. Molly has two lines and two scenes, but this role may be recurring.
You can see her in the upcoming episode of the second season, “Keep This Party Going.” The episode should be airing this summer.

I don’t know where the idea of “talented actress” came from…hopefully, she’ll be sucessful somewhere other than Days where her time on screen has been too long for most of us.

Molly Burnett/Melanie is a very talented actress. I love watching her because she has classic comedic timing that is absolutely histerical at times. She plays the part of screwy Melanie Layton to the hilt. Mark my words, DOOLs will not be able to keep this girl too much longer. With her comedic timing, Molly Burnett has bigger things in store. Obviously, I’m a fan of hers!

I hope Melanie gets out of Salem. Her time on days has been way to l o n g. Time to exit and keep right on going.

if people think about it she is very good because one min she was playing the girl that was rude disrespectful and now she is getting some heart and helpping people and starting to care for people and if she can play both parts like that then I think she is a good actress…
