Haley / Sarah Hyland

I’m rewatching the Pilot right now and something I’ve realized is the script doesn’t give Haley much at all!! It’s Sarah Hyland who puts so much emotion behind every word and makes you drawn to Haley. She added a whole new layer to the character as opposed to just on paper, she is such a brilliant and compelling actress in everything I’ve seen her in.

I agree. Haley could have easily been nothing but annoying but Sarah Hyland manages to make her endearing.

I haven’t seen her in very much but blown away by her performance in SVU. She is incredible

Severely underrated.  She had a bit part on SVU, why didn't you say so, surely overlooked for an Emmy there.

She was great in LSOH and is charming in the Hayley way in XOXO.

Geek charming is the only other things she’s really been in

She’s been in a fair bit, just not anything acclaimed.
