Where Are They Now? Days of Our Lives’ Molly Burnett

Remember when “Days of Our Lives” introduced us to bad girl Melanie Jonas (Molly Burnett)? Yes, Saint Melanie Jonas was a a con artist when we first met her. She lived in Europe while scamming men for money.

Melanie Jonas caused a lot of chaos and heartbreak when she followed Max back from France. When she learned that she was actually Dr. Daniel Jonas’ (Shawn Christian) daughter, she changed her evil ways and became a good girl with a heart of gold. While Melanie went from bad to good, there was always a little twinkle in her eye that said she was up to something.

Burnett was born in Littleton, CO on April 23, 1988, and knew she wanted to be an entertainer when she was just three years old. Burnett was active in the Denver Theater community.After graduating high school, Burnett moved to New York City and attended Wagner College on Staten Island for two years.

She made her DAYS debut on July 31, 2008, and stayed until September 27, 2012. She returned to Salem again November 21, 2014, but her stay was brief. Since leaving DAYS, Burnett has been busy with guest spots on prime time television.

Not only is Burnett an accomplished actor, she is also an extremely talented singer. Her character Amanda James on HBO’s “True Blood” sang “Jesus Asked Me Out Today.” The actress also performed at countless DAYS fan events.

If you want to see Burnett on soaps again, tune into “General Hospital” in the coming weeks and catch her as Maxie Jones. Burnett will bring this lively character to life while actress Kirsten Storms is on personal leave.
