Nicky Whelan, who quit her role in the soap as Pepper Steiger in 2007, was cast by Peter and Bobby Farrelly as a love interest in the new Owen Wilson comedy Hall Pass.
Peter told AAP: "I remember when she walked in I said to myself: 'Please be good. Please be a good actress.' We were so happy," while Bobby added: "She really came across very well. She had a sweetness and likeability."
Wilson said: "The Farrellys flipped over her. Nicky, aside from being easy on the eyes, was also very funny and great in the part."
Hall Pass opens on February 25 in the US and March 11 in the UK.
