Even longtime fans of daytime soap operas might not realize how integral Bell was in creating the modern crop of shows. In the 1950s and 1960s, Bell co-created and served as a co-head writer on Another World. He also wrote for As the World Turns, ultimately becoming co-head writer there. After that, Bell became head writer for Days of Our Lives in the late 1960s.
