When I went to the audition, I just really felt it and I think it came off in the audition. I really enjoy working with the cast. They are such great actors which I don’t think a lot of people realize. The whole experience has been just great".[5] In December 2012, after two years on recurring, Conwell was placed on contract by Bell's successor, Jill Farren Phelps[6][7] however, was dropped back to recurring in August 2014.
