As published on TV Insider, Sarah feels she shares a lot of similar qualities with Maggie on “Charmed.” As she says Maggie is outgoing, friendly and charismatic but still has her insecurities and can be emotional. According to her, she is the more exaggerated version of Maggie. Nevertheless, with Maggie being a witch, Sarah found the role challenging but fun. She is adamant about her dislike for Audrey because the character is self-centered yet Sarah is kind and mindful of others.
5. She met a close friend on the set of “Wayward Pines.”

Therefore when she found she would play Daphne in the “Scooby-Doo” spinoff, the actress was excited.

Sarah began dancing at three years, thus feels it has always been in her blood thanks to her father being a performer as well. Her love for the craft saw her get into performing arts school.

8. Casting directors did not want to cast her for “Charmed” at first
The actress was determined to play Maggie; hence she went to audition despite still working on another show. That fact alone made the directors want her not to audition; they feared they would end up liking her for the part and then have to compete with the other shows as to who would have her first. However, they changed their mind and saw her potential, and by good luck, “Charmed” had her for the first position while “Shades of Blue” came in second. It was not a loss for Sarah because in the long run, “Shades of Blue” wrapped up after its 3rd season.
