After spending seven years on General Hospital as Kiki, Hayley Erin’s big daytime comeback as Claire on The Young and the Restless has had her character in one of the soap’s most exciting storylines as of late. However, the CBS actress has something altogether different to be excited about and it’s going to take her to the big screen.
Erin took to Instagram to post the trailer for her upcoming thriller and stated, “New Life brought new meaning to blood, sweat and tears.” She went on to express just how proud she is of not only the film but of everyone involved and added, “Cannot wait to share it with you all.”
New Life follows a mysterious woman named Jessica (Erin) on the run and the resourceful fixer, Elsa, who’s hired to locate her and bring her in. Viewers will be taken on a rollercoaster of emotions as their two unique stories are linked — and the stakes of the pursuit explode to apocalyptic proportions.

We weren’t the only ones thrown on the edge of our seats by the trailer, some of Erin’s daytime friends came out to send their thoughts as well, including her best friend and General Hospital alum Chloe Lanier (ex-Nelle), who shouted, “Best actress in the world, love you.” Erin’s former onscreen mom, Maura West (Ava), stated, “I cannot wait. Congratulations!” and Rebecca Budig (Hayden) added, “I mean… Wow. Looks incredible and you are amazing!”
