When Kristen Vaganos stepped into the role of ADA Molly Lansing on , she faced the daunting task of following in the footsteps of multiple recasts in a short period. With Hayley Pullos’ controversial exit from the soap following her arrest, Vaganos had big shoes to fill. However, almost a year into her portrayal, fans and critics agree: she’s proven herself to be a perfect fit for the role, bringing a refreshing depth to the character during one of most emotional storylines.
Sibling Rivalry Intensified
One of the most gripping aspects of Vaganos’ Molly has been the fiery sibling rivalry with her half-sister, Kristina (played by Kate Mansi). Their relationship, always tinged with tension, escalated during the surrogacy storyline that saw the sisters pitted against one another. Molly, long portrayed as the responsible, driven daughter, now had to confront Kristina’s more chaotic, self-centered behavior.
“Kristina’s always been the mess, while Molly’s the one who held it together,” one fan commented.
“But with Vaganos in the role, you see more layers to Molly—her anger, her heartbreak.”
The actress truly shined during the graveside battle after Kristina lost the baby.
