She is perhaps most widely known for her portrayal of Harley Cooper in the long-running CBS soap-opera Guiding Light. Originally, her character appeared through 1987 to 1993 but her performance was so overwhelmingly positive that she returned to the show in 1997 and was made into one of the central characters with an overarching character arc. She went on to appear in a total of 430 episodes by the time she left in June 2008.
For her performance, she was nominated for five Daytime Emmy Awards, winning a joint Special Fan Award for Irresistable Combination shared with co-star Ricky Paull Goldin.
Another role of note was her portrayal of Taylor Thompson in the ABC soap opera All My Children that she took on in June 2008 after leaving Guiding Light. She went on to appear in 104 episodes in total.
She was also a lead character in two short-lived drama series; first, she played Mia Braithwaite in the 1986 NBC drama series The Best Times and later, she starred as Coryn Foster in the 2012 drama webseries River Ridge -- both of which were canceled after one season.
On the big screens, Ehlers has made appearances as Alice Cavender in the 1983 erotic thriller The Hunger, which also starred David Bowie and Susan Sarandon; and as Chloe in the romantic comedy-drama film Hiding Out starring Jon Cryer and Keith Coogan.
Most recently, she voiced the character Melanie Walters in the audio drama/podcast soap opera Forever and a Day.
