In interviews, Bernard expressed gratitude for the opportunity to showcase her singing talents on the show and acknowledged how the series incorporated her gospel singing background into her character's storyline.

“I was bitter about all the pressure that had been put upon me,” she said of her strict religious upbringing in a 1985 interview with Boca Raton News. “So I walked to the other side. I have to admit it didn’t do much for my grades. So after a couple of semesters, I quit and went to Nashville.”
