They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but we wonder what good is a picture when you can’t recognize the subject? Above is a snapshot of a future star of soaps, but can you guess who this talented young flutist grew up to be?
Star Of The Soaps
Obviously this young woman (now all grown up) is either currently starring in, or is an alum of, one of the four remaining daytime dramas – The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless – but that’s probably not enough of a hint.
So try these on for size. She is a talented singer. She is fluent in English, Swedish, and Farsi and is also well versed in French Italian and Russian. She starred in a reality TV series. She appeared in a music video starring Ricky Martin. And she dated a fellow daytime performer.
But just who can she be? Is this a photograph of Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester, BB), Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe Lane, DAYS), Lindsay Hartley (Sam McCall, GH), or Emily O’Brien (ex-Jana Hawkes Fisher, YR)?
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood
Apart from her acting, Wood is a singer (and occasional disc jockey) and music video star. But said videos have always been for her own singles and never for a Ricky Martin hit. So Wood is automatically out of the running as a potential answer to our identity query.
Lindsay Hartley
Hartley has a number of accolades and honors for her vocal abilities and she was one of the six stars of the reality series Queens of Drama. She also dated – and married – Justin Hartley, whom she acted opposite in the daytime soap opera Passions. But she isn’t today’s featured star.
Emily O’Brien
And neither is O’Brien. Though she is a singer and a speaker of multiple languages, including Farsi, O’Brien hasn’t appeared on a reality TV series.
Nadia Bjorlin
She’s most known for her role as chanteuse Chloe Lane on DAYS but Bjorlin has also starred in Dirty Soap (a reality TV series which featured, among other cast members, Bjorlin’s then-boyfriend Brandon Beemer) and Ricky Martin’s Shake Your Bon-Bon music video.
So, if you guessed that the future star of soaps seen in the image above was Nadia Bjorlin – a talented linguist and recipient of honors such as the grand prize at the Metro Lyric Opera Competition – then you were absolutely correct!
