WATCH: GL's Hayden Panettiere recalls her soapiest moments

Guiding Light alum Hayden Panettiere (ex-Lizzie Spaulding) takes a trip down soap opera memory lane and recalls her craziest soap storylines.

Hayden Panettiere might play some pretty out-there stuff on her hit show Nashville, but she says the wackadoodle stories she had thrown at her while she played Guiding Light's Lizzie Spaulding in the late 90's "take the cake."

The actress recently visited Stephen Colbert on The Late Show and took a trip down Springfield memory lane, listing some her craziest soap stories.

"They threw me down a well... I got leukemia, not once but twice. I was kidnapped...I shot my mom's boyfriend," she lists with a laugh.

While many actors would cringe at the thought of making all of the above realistic, Panettiere says she tackled all of that and her stories as One Life to Live's Sarah Roberts with the unabashed confidence of childhood.

"Your confidence is through the roof... You could be in your birthday suit and you could be the most confident person in the room at 7 years old," she jokes, before adding, "That's gone flying out the window!"

The video, which you can watch below, also shows Panettiere speaking about motherhood, the fear she feels being married to a professional boxer, and more.
