Juliet Mills, Mueller's costar on Passions, said of Mueller in 2007, "When she started, she had never acted and came from the reality show ... she was always very serious about the work and worked really hard to learn her lines. A soap opera is like boot camp. Now, she makes it all seem very spontaneous, and she's right there for you. It's really been lovely to see her grow as an actress." Passions costar Ben Masters
added that Mueller "has the ability to make the words come out of her mouth so naturally; [dialogue] comes cascading out of her. I did a whole week with her where we had all these scenes, page after page after page; it was just wonderful. It's like she's got a perfect pitch as an actress."
