VIDEO PICK: Bye Bye Sally


Sally has had a rough life. First of all, she hasn’t yet recognized she looks like Malin Akerman. Second of all, she’s suffered a string of abuse, neglect, and taunting. So she’s got a little death wish. After a Suicide Hotline directs her to a therapist, Sally, played by Malin Akerman, learns of his plan to use her to commit murders. This well-produced and well-acted short is the result of the combined efforts of several soap alumni — Paul Leyden (ATWT, YR), who wrote and directed (based on the short story “Everybody Wins” by Lisa Mannetti); Martha Byrne (ATWT, GH), who executive produced; and Paolo Seganti (ATWT), who co-stars.

After a few years on the festival circuit, you can now watch the film on YouTube.
