It would be unseemly to complain about your show being cancelled after seven seasons, and I won’t. I’ve been very fortunate to have been on other long-running series, but Good Witch was special. The fans were so devoted to the show and I’m disappointed for them, but I hope they know how much the actors appreciated their vocal support. The cast was the nicest collection of wildly talented people I’ve ever been around. The producers treated us extremely well, and I’m happy to still have two movies to make with the network so I’m not saying goodbye to the Hallmark audience yet.
Denton shared her sentiment.

Reviews for "Catherine Bell on the Magic of Good Witch and Its Impact on Fans"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Catherine Bell's casting as the Good Witch. I found her performance to be quite bland and lacking charm. The character of the Good Witch is supposed to be enchanting, but Bell just didn't capture that essence. I also didn't feel any chemistry between her and the other characters, which made the romance feel forced. Overall, I think they could have chosen a better actress for the role.
2. Sarah - 3 stars - While Catherine Bell is a talented actress, I don't think she was the right fit for the role of the Good Witch. Her portrayal lacked the warmth and whimsy that I associate with the character. Additionally, I felt like her delivery of the dialogue was often flat and uninspiring. The Good Witch series has potential, but a different actress should have been chosen to bring the magic to life.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I had high expectations for the casting of the Good Witch, but Catherine Bell fell short for me. Her acting felt one-dimensional and didn't capture the essence of the magical character. I also found her portrayal to be quite cheesy at times, which made it difficult to take the show seriously. I believe the role required someone with more range and depth, and unfortunately, Bell just didn't deliver.
4. Emily - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to the Good Witch series, but Catherine Bell's casting left me disappointed. Her performance felt wooden and lacked the charisma that the character should have had. The chemistry with the other actors also seemed forced, making the relationships feel unconvincing. I think they missed the mark with Bell's casting, and it ultimately affected my enjoyment of the show.
5. David - 3 stars - While Catherine Bell is a talented actress, I don't think she was the best choice for the role of the Good Witch.
