Passions
Background: “When she started, she had never acted and came from the reality show ... she was always very serious about the work and worked really hard to learn her lines. A soap opera is like boot camp. Now, she makes it all seem very spontaneous, and she's right there for you. It's really been lovely to see her grow as an actress.” Passion co-star Juliet Mills (on Heidi Mueller) American actress Heidi Mueller is perhaps best known to soap opera fans for playing Kay on NBC's “Passions” from 2003 to 2008. She picked up a Soap Opera Digest nomination for the role. She made her big screen debut in 2011's “Vile.” Prior to “Passions,” Mueller appeared alongside her father Don Mueller and her siblings on the NBC reality TV series “Who Wants to Marry My Dad?” (2003-2004). Mueller was engaged to actor Matthew Lawrence from December 2004 to March 2006.

She has three older siblings, Joe, Carla and Chris. Heidi attended high school at Landmark Christian School in Cincinnati, Ohio. She went on to major in psychology at Liberty University in Virginia. Vile Career: Heidi Mueller originally auditioned for the reality television dating game show “The Bachelor,” which debuted on ABC in 2002, but she did not succeed.

The show ran from July 14, 2003 until August 2, 2004. Mueller's huge break came when she joined the cast of the NBC soap opera “Passions” in the mid 2003 in the role of Kay. In 2005, she received a Soap Opera Digest nomination for Outstanding Female Newcomer for her performance, but quit later in 2008. Mueller became the fourth actress to play Kay, after Taylor Anne Mountz (1999-2000), Gina Marie May (2000, temporary replacement) and Deanna Wright (2000-2003).
