On Thursday, May 7, soap fans will see Pullos in a whole new light as she stars in the Lifetime movie The Dating App Nightmare. It marks her first role since her DUI car crash in April 2023, which led to her three-month stint in jail and loss of the gig on General Hospital.

In The Dating App Nightmare, Pullos plays Sarah, the daughter of a single mom, Kate (Nicky Whelan), who agrees to join a dating app with her daughter in hopes it will help them bond. However, things take a turn when Sarah suddenly goes missing after a date with someone she met on the app, forcing Kate to conduct her own investigation and search for her missing daughter.

Along with Pullos and Whelan, The Dating App Nightmare also stars Charisma Carpenter, Brennan Mejia, and Nikolas Elrifi.

Pullos teased her latest project in an Instagram post, writing, “catch me in a new lifetime movie thursday may 7th!! 🤭🤍.

In April 2023, Pullos was involved in a head-on collision after she was driving the wrong way on a Los Angeles freeway, with firefighters having to pull Pullos out of the car.

After being treated for her injuries at the hospital, Pullos was arrested for driving under the influence with her alcohol level three times the legal limit. Pullos was ultimately charged with one felony count of DUI causing injury, one felony count of driving with a .08 BAC causing injury, and one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run resulting in property damage.

The actress was sentenced in July 2024. In a statement to People magazine, Pullos’s lawyer, Dan Melnick, confirmed her sentencing.

“Haley was sentenced to probation with 90 days county jail with time served, a nine-month DUI program, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) program and continuing private counseling,” he expressed to the outlet.

General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
