During an interview with Pink Magazine, Bell discussed how she feels about the characters she has played over the years. She told the publication she brings a bit of herself to each role.

I think there is always a little bit of you in the parts that you play, because that is how you choose to play that role. But I’m certainly not anything like Denise Sherwood. [The roles I’ve played] are all so different; I really like all of them. The Good Witch is actually the most like my personality than any of the characters I’ve played–more playful and light.
