Career

Prior to "Passions", Mueller appeared alongside her father Don Mueller and her siblings on the NBC reality TV series "Who Wants to Marry My Dad?".

Renowned actress 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." ["Soap Opera Digest", Vol. 32, No. 31, 31 July 2007, page 63.] "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." ["Soap Opera Digest", Vol. 32, No. 31, 31 July 2007, page 63.]

Personal life

Formerly engaged to actor Matthew Lawrence, Mueller has also dated actors Josh Duhamel and Mario Lopez, the relationship with Lopez ending immediately prior to his 2006 stint on "Dancing with the Stars". She was also briefly involved with comedian Jamie Kennedy; the two made their first public appearance together at the 2007 Daytime Emmy Awards. It is also reported that she has been seen with "That 70's Show" actor Wilmer Valderama. Fact|date=December 2007
