Holly Marie Combs responds to Charmed reboot star's comments: 'That's some bulls---'

Sarah Jeffery called Combs and Rose McGowan "sad and pathetic" for their remarks about the new show.

Original Charmed star Holly Marie Combs has responded to comments from Sarah Jeffery, an actress on the CW's Charmed reboot who called Combs and her former costar Rose McGowan "sad and quite frankly pathetic" for their criticisms of the new show.
"That's some bulls---. And a lot of it. Clearly," Combs tweeted Tuesday. "People speaking, excuse me, typing, derogatory accusations of a person's character despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary because of a difference in opinions about a tv show is just plain wrong. And also personal gain honey."




Stars from the original Charmed previously spoke about their issues with the network rebooting the series with a younger cast. But on Monday night, Jeffery, who plays the youngest witchy sister, Maggie in the remake, responded to a video of Combs and McGowan addressing a fan question on social media about the original series leaving Netflix, while the new one remains on the platform.

"I think it means when you search for it they want you to find the new Charmed and not the old people," Combs said.

"But it sucks," McGowan chimed in. "I haven't seen it, I can't say that. I've never seen it… But I'm happy that people have jobs. But it can still suck."

In a tweet, Jeffery replied, "You know, I saw this earlier and I refrained from saying anything. I thought, better to just let them shout into the abyss. But I do want to say, I find it sad and quite frankly pathetic to see grown women behaving this way."

She then wrote in a second tweet, "I truly hope they find happiness elsewhere, and not in the form of putting down other [Women of Color]. I would be embarrassed to behave this way. Peace and love to y'all."



On Tuesday, Jeffery tweeted how her father met Shannen Doherty, who starred as Prue Halliwell on the original Charmed for the first three seasons, before being replaced by McGowan's character, Paige Matthews. "He approached her saying his daughter was a new Charmed one (pre-covid!)," Jeffery tweeted. "He told me she was so kind, thrilled for us, and excited to take a picture. She sent her love."



When the new Charmed was announced, the CW described it as a "fierce, funny, feminist reboot of the original series," which Doherty, Combs, McGowan, and Alyssa Milano took issue with, considering the original was also considered feminist.
"Let me say first that I appreciate the jobs and opportunities the Charmed reboot has created," Combs once tweeted. "But I will never understand what is fierce, funny, or feminist in creating a show that basically says the original actresses are too old to do a job they did 12 years ago. I hope the new show is far better than the marketing so the true legacy does remain."
"I wish that they would have come to us and we would have been involved since the beginning," Milano said during an interview. "But having said that, I do hope that it reaches the newer generation and impacts that generation the way ours was able to do for its generation."

It honestly wouldn't be Charmed without the actress playing the telekinetic older sister being written out of the show. In a major shocker for CW's new Charmed show that also serves as an unnerving mirror to the original, history is repeating itself.
Madeleine Mantock, who plays one of the three sister witches on the Charmed reboot, will be exiting the series after the season 3 finale. The actress called it a "difficult decision" in a statement released on Monday.

"Playing Macy on Charmed for the last three seasons has been an immense privilege and I have so enjoyed working with our fantastic producers, creatives, cast and crew," Mantock said. "I'm incredibly grateful to The CW and CBS Studios for my time on the show and for being a brilliant support in my difficult decision to leave. Huge thanks to our fans who can look forward to, what I know will be, a spectacular fourth season."

It's not only a big surprise given that Mantock is one of the lead stars of Charmed with Sarah Jeffery and Melonie Diaz, but this scenario happened once before with the original show, just under different circumstances.
Shannen Doherty played the telekinetic older witch sister on the original Charmed opposite Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano. The season 3 finale killed off Doherty's character, Prue, amid rumors of tension on set with Milano. Rose McGowan was then cast as a new secret half-sister Paige as a replacement in later seasons. Mantock, coincidentally, also plays the telekinetic older sister in the new Charmed.

Details about how Macy's absence moving forward are unknown, but showrunners Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro say "the door is always open for a return visit from Macy... one way or another."

"We can't thank Madeleine enough for her incredible and inspiring work on Charmed," they said in a joint statement. "We will miss her as much as the fans will, but we also respect her decision to move on. This is a difficult time in the world, and everyone has to follow their heart."
Charmed's season 3 finale will air this Friday on The CW at 8 p.m. ET.

Wait she is the reason I watched the show. I mean it was on in the background and when I heard her voice I paid attention. That sounds about right. Damn she is fine.
 

Charmed finds its new third witch after Madeleine Mantock's exit

Lucy Barrett will make her debut in season 4 as the new Charmed One.

The Power of Three has been restored.
Following Madeline Mantock's surprise exit as one of the three stars of the CW's Charmed, a move that had echoes of the original series, the show has found someone to take over as a third Charmed One.
Lucy Barrett, best known for her leading role on the Duplass Brothers' web series Co-Ed, has been cast as a brand-new witch to join Melonie Diaz and Sarah Jeffery, EW has confirmed.
Charmed's new showrunners — Jeffery Lieber, Nicki Renna, and Joey Falco — are keeping details about Barrett's character under wraps, including her name, backstory, powers, and connection to Mel (Diaz) and Maggie (Jeffery). "It's just more fun that way," they said in a statement.

"What we will say is… she's an artist, with a wild, unpredictable love for life and a one-of-a-kind view of the world that serves her well in her art, which is her life's passion," the showrunners continued. "She's fun, irreverent, impulsive, strong-willed, and will bring a brand-new energy to the Power of Three."

Mantock announced her exit from the series with season 3, having played Macy, the telekinetic older sister of the lead trio, since the show's inception. She didn't dive much into her reasons why, but noted it was a "difficult decision." Barrett will make her debut when the show returns for season 4.
The original Charmed starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, and Alyssa Milano as three sister witches known as the Charmed Ones. Doherty famously departed the series after season 3 and was replaced by Rose McGowan, who came aboard as the sisters' secret half-sister. Similar to Doherty's Prue, Mantock's Macy was killed off in the reboot's third season.
Season 4 of the current Charmed will now see Mel and Maggie dealing with the death of Macy, but the surprising arrival of a third Charmed One will give them a renewed opportunity to fulfill their destinies. Meanwhile, a mysterious new enemy is rising and instilling fear in every corner of the magical world.

Rupert Evans will also return as Harry, and Jordan Donica will return as Jordan.
 

Lucy Barrett talks the cyclical magic of being the new Charmed one

Barrett is introduced in the season 4 premiere as Kaela.

Charmed (2018 TV series)

WATCH IT NOW ON
Netflix, The CW, Google Play, and more options
Warning: This article contains spoilers about the season 4 premiere of Charmed.
Even when magic is involved, history has a way of repeating itself.
The original Charmed notably replaced one of its original Charmed ones, Shannen Doherty's Prue, with half-sister Paige (Rose McGowan) when Doherty exited the series at the end of season 3. Now, as the CW reboot of the witchy series enters its fourth season, it has a new Charmed one, too.
Replacing Madeleine Mantock's Macy, who met a tragic end in the season 3 finale, Lucy Barrett joins the series as Kaela, which is short for Michaela, maintaining the "M" theme in the same way the original series did with "P" names.

The strange parallel between the series isn't lost on Barrett. "It's really cool," she tells EW. "Everything is cyclical, and it is pretty full circle. There's definitely some magic going on."
Barrett's first episode, Friday's "Not That Girl," introduced us to Kaela, her powers of manifesting (turning her drawings and art into physical objects), and her shadowy past, which includes being left on the doorstep of a fire station as a baby and a bout with cancer.
We called up Barrett to get all the details on assuming the mantle of the new "Charmed" one, how exactly Michaela's powers work, and whether it'll be smooth sailing for her to become the newest member of this trio.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Can you tell us a bit more about Michaela and what kind of person she is and some of her background?

LUCY BARRETT:
Michaela is adopted. She has known that she's adopted since she was a baby. She was left at a fire station in Philadelphia. She's very, very close to her parents. But she's had a hard life. She survived leukemia, and that in and of itself has a really cool connection to the story and how she came to be a Charmed one. But with all that she's been through, she's a very talented artist and she has channeled her trauma and her experiences into her artwork. Her magic is through her artwork, she's able to conjure things. She can draw anything and manifest it. Whereas Macy was very together and really smart and academic, Kaela is the opposite of that. Kaela is artistic and messy and a little bit all over the place, but super lovable. Spontaneous. Full of energy. I think people are really going to enjoy her. I got to watch the first episode the other night. She just brings this tone to the show that's so fun and refreshing.
You mentioned that her power is this manifesting and bringing her art to life. So how will that come to be useful to her, and is it only applicable to things that she draws herself?
Yes, it is it is only applicable to things that she draws herself, but once she manages to get a hold on her power and figures out how to use it, as you can imagine, manifesting quite literally anything that you can draw would be useful to anyone at any time. Whether it's "I want a cheeseburger with pickles right now," she can do that, or [if] it's a life or death situation and she needs a weapon, she can conjure that. There's a lot of twists and turns that the Charmed ones find themselves running into and her ability to manifest anything on the spot definitely helps them time and time again.
If you had that power in real life, is there a particular work of art you would want to bring to life?
I would manifest a lifetime supply of oysters. Like the best oysters. That I could have at any point in time. I love them, they're my favorite food and would only eat them for the rest of my life if I had to choose one thing.
Being a Charmed one is a lot to process, and at the end of the first episode, it seems like she's leaving and rejecting that identity. Am I reading that correctly? Is that fair to say?
Yes. Absolutely. Her life changes completely. She's been through a lot. With most other people, there would probably be more resistance. I do admire the way she leans into it once she believes them. She's like, "Okay, this is what it is." She doesn't put them down, but it's very overwhelming for her. The weight of the world is on her shoulders now, and she needs space and time to decide what she really wants to do. She's been through enough, and having to take on this as well might just seem like a little bit too much for right now.
CREDIT: COLIN BENTLEY/THE CW
How much of her reconsidering will come from any convincing that Maggie (Sarah Jeffery), Mel (Melonie Diaz) or Harry (Rupert Evans) might try to do?
It is actually more within herself. You have to watch episode 2 to find out. But it's realizing that being given this opportunity is allowing her to make a change in the world, and it's realizing that she is able to fight for the people that she loves and keep them safe. It's more from within herself and wanting to make change in the world and keep the people that she loves safe.
Will we learn more about what's been causing her headaches?
Yes. You'll definitely learn more. You will learn more and it is related to the magical world. That's all I can say now because it plays out throughout the series.
Part of being a Charmed one would also be figuring out what her relationship is to Mel and Maggie and and how the three of them work best together. How smooth a journey will that be for Kaela, but also, has it been similar for you being the new one on set?
For Kaela, because of her family history, there's a little bit of reservation there. She's close with her adoptive parents but there's always going to be that underlying question of "Why did my biological parents let me go and surrender me at a fire station?" She's carried that with her into making new connections. She needs to really know that people are going to be there and show up before she lets them in. So, it takes her a little while to really trust Mel and Maggie, but they show up time and time again for her and they really prove themselves to be there. Maggie is a little bit reserved. Everyone's still heartbroken about Macy. Maggie is not ready to have another sister just yet. But they figure it out. They manage to create a really special bond. They get past that. For me personally, joining the show has just been amazing. It was an instant bond between Sarah, Mel, Rupert, Jordan, and I. It feels like family. The new showrunners have fostered a really beautiful space for us, everyone cast and crew, to grow and learn and create. Props to the people who are running the show and fostering a really safe space for us to be kind to each other and love each other.
But have you found being the newbie on set has helped you channel that into Kaela?
With any character, there's going to be some parallels or similarities. But I don't know. Her character is so fun and fresh to the show and being fun and fresh to the show in real life, that amplifies what comes through on the show. There's a new energy in real life.
Can you hint at all about her past or what her tie to the Vera sisters might be?
I can't say, but I can tell you that it is really special. I don't think the fans will be disappointed. I will say that Macy's legacy definitely lives on throughout the season. And maybe through Kaela a little bit. But let's just see.
In the end of episode 1, we get the reveal of what I can only assume will be a major villain this season, the Tallyman, so how might he come to factor into her life?
I mean, this is just part of being a witch now, right? This is part of what she has to do as a Charmed one. It's fighting evil to help good. It's just a ride that she has to go on with her sisters, fighting the Tallyman. It's a part of it. It's all mixed in.
If you had to pick three words to describe Kaela and her journey this season, what would you say?
Thrilling would be one. Erratic. And it's just a season of huge growth for her, so growth.
