'Charmed belongs to us!': Holly Marie Combs hits out at CW's plan to reboot the beloved TV series without the original stars

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5317863/Holly-Marie-Combs-hits-CWs-plan-reboot-Charmed.html


Not under the spell: Charmed star Holly Marie Combs, seen at an event in Hollywood in October, has hit out at The CW's plans to reboot the series about teen witches on Twitter  

It will not the same, different yes, but without any input from the old writers of the show or any of the ladies , then it is not Charmed and should not be even given that same title, as that sure is misrepresentation no matter which way you hack it. They have ignored the fans and I hope that this faux pas will never make it to the screen.

I have been watching some old Star Trek episodes - the ones with Q- John De lancie really made that omnipotent alien his with such gusto. He also appears as an Elder in Charmed.

I still will take this with a bit of salt but there is still hope that in 2018 or 2019 we will have a Charmed reboot of sorts .

"The previously shelved Charmed pilot from Jane the Virgin showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman may have just been given new life. After the show didn't pass muster for the 2018 season, fans were led to believe it would be reignited in 2019 with the same basic concept for a trio of witches, but set in 1976. It looks like plans are changing.



The revamped version is expected to connect with the original Charmed series in some way. While that is exciting news for longtime fans of the show, what would be even more rewarding to hear is that all of the Halliwell sisters are reprising their roles."

Alyssa Milano, calling Charmed fans the best ever, speculated that CBS Studios understands the importance of getting a reboot right, which is why the script went back into redevelopment after the first take.

"I’ll tell you everything I know: the last few years, CBS Studios—not the network, the studio—has been trying to reboot 'Charmed' without any of the old cast members. They just want to use the franchise. Because we have the best fans ever, they were up in arms over this and said you can’t do 'Charmed' without the original cast members. I think CBS Studios understands the importance of getting it right, so they came up with the idea last year that they were going to do a prequel to our story, but the script didn’t come in the way they wanted, and so it went back into redevelopment."

While rumours continue to swirl, Milano maintains that she is open to whatever scenario brings Charmed back to television screens.

The CW's Mark Pedowitz confirmed at the 2017 TV Critics' Association summer press tour that the series is in redevelopment, which offers hope that fan concerns are being taken into consideration.


It's nice to know the reboot/revamp isn't dead in the waters, and Milano's words bring hope to the millions of fans who want to make sure CBS Studios understands that without the Halliwell sisters, it can't actually be a Charmed reboot.

There are rumours flying around about a reboot of Charmed and that Holly Marie-Combs has denied that the gals are in talks with the network to see a reboot of the original cast members in a new show.The Daily Beast stated that as far as Holly is concerned “I’m sorry to say that all the reboot rumours are just that… rumours.”.

And as Milano tells it, the tabloid reports are mostly baloney.
“I’ll tell you everything I know: the last few years, CBS Studios—not the network, the studio—has been trying to reboot Charmed without any of the old cast members. They just want to use the franchise,” she says. “Because we have the best fans ever, they were up in arms over this and said you can’t do Charmed without the original cast members. I think CBS Studios understands the importance of getting it right, so they came up with the idea last year that they were going to do a prequel to our story but the script didn’t come in the way they wanted, and so it went back into redevelopment.”
The actress does maintain, however, that the cast is game for a reunion of some sort. “The other thing that I know is that Shannon, Holly, Rose and I have all said out loud that we are open to some sort of reboot, reunion or something,” Milano tells The Daily Beast. “The next thing I heard was that Netflix was doing it, but I heard that strictly from the media and not from my deal with CBS Studios or Netflix, where I have two shows right now.”

If the Charmed reboot were actually being set up at Netflix, Milano says, “I would think I would have heard what’s going on from my CBS Studios or Netflix contacts, but I haven’t heard anything. I’m as open as humanly possible to what the scenario is, but I don’t know the scenario, honestly.”

So, as fans,and myself included,we can only wait and hope.If they can reboot X Files why not Charmed?

This morning i watched some old episodes of Charmed again. If the ladies did get back together for a reboot , knowing now they are in their forties, teaching their kids the craft and so on.As for Prue, they make her a Whitelighter. Or ghost form like their Mother and Grandma. Rose McGowan had face surgery after she was in a car Wreck many years ago and looks very different now. Still attractive though.

Alternatively, they could make it a parallel dimension as if Prue never died. How their lives would have turned out had they never met Paige or maybe end up meeting her down the line with Prue still alive. But I'm guessing if this really does happen they'll either make her a ghost like their mother and grandmother or make her their whitelighter, or maybe with their children now grown up they have enough collective power to bring Prue back to life. Let's face it, in the world of Charmed anything is possible. So let's keep our fingers and toes crossed that this will actually happen.

From Metro

"Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty — once, sworn enemies — are banding together with one common cause: They want to go back to the prime of their lives. That’s right. They’re trying to bring “Charmed” back.

According to InTouch, Doherty and Milano are in talks to bring back the former WB show, with an insider confirming that they’re joining forces for a reboot. “They’re hoping the show get a second life on Netflix,” the source says. “They’d love to play moms with teenage witch daughters.” The actresses have reportedly already talked to Holly Marie Combs about reprising her role, too.

While filming, Doherty, 46, and Milano, 44, had some draaaaaama. “We were on the air with [Shannen] for three years, and there were definitely some rough days,” Milano told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.” “Holly and Shannen were best friends for like 10 years before the show started, so it was very much sort of like high school.”

But apparently, the bad blood has been put aside, after Doherty’s recent battle with breast cancer. “I tweeted, I [direct messaged] her and I told her my concern and how everyone was on her side, and we’re all supporting her,” Milano told Entertainment Tonight. “And she was very appreciative that I reached out, which was very sweet.”

So maybe “Charmed” will get a second shot. 'Tis the season of the reboot. Just one question though — aren’t we forgetting somebody? Somebody named… Rose McGowan?

I’ll be waiting here for her to chime in, and won’t believe a thing ‘til she does."

Here's hoping.

From the MoviePilot website -

In early January, news of a Charmed prequel series broke, and the announcement received mixed reviews. The producers seemed eager to forge ahead with a new version of the Power of Three, which isn't what longtime fans expected or wanted.

But the plans have now derailed...at least temporarily.

TV Line has reported that the new Charmed series is being delayed until 2018. Several reasons were given for the change, including the current crop of renewed series and the producers' schedules. However, fans are paying closer attention to the report from The Hollywood Reporter, which indicated the "draft didn't come in the way the network had hoped."

The network is hoping to recapture the success of the original series, but fans around the world are not seeing that as a possibility without the original actresses. And though CW President Mark Pedowitz stated the show would involve the Power of Three element, it wasn't enough for hardcore fans.

The CW is already taking a big risk by alienating a fan base that is millions strong. Ignoring the input of these dedicated viewers could risk the success of any future series, despite the network's determination to do its own thing.

With the news of the production delay, fans of the original Charmed took to social media to express their relief and to continue the push for a Charmed movie or show with the original actresses.

Charmed Reunion, a Facebook page with over 31,000 followers and almost 22,000 Twitter followers, has been very vocal about not liking the idea of a Charmed reboot without the ladies that made the show a success for eight seasons. I reached out to the site to get their take on the delay. Here's their response:

"Living in the social media era gives us fans a stronger voice and the network definitely picked up on that."

The site administrators added what they feel the fans are looking for and are hoping the network will listen.

"I hope they [the network] realize the cast of Charmed is unique and the network finds a different approach that will honor and be true to the original show. Fans always want more Charmed. The network just has to find a way to intertwine the old with the new and keep in mind that at its heart Charmed is all about the strong bond of family."

With the production on hold until 2018, there is plenty of time for the producers and the network to do some recon to determine what the fans would enjoy. Although reaching new fans is always possible, enticing viewers who have been longtime fans of Charmed would go a long way toward assuring the reboot's success

Thoughts on a Holiday

A month after the Jenkins crisis, and now that the dust settled down from the aftermath of Billy's Triad instigated outrage and final demise, Piper decides that she and Leo should have another vacation.
They deserve a holiday after all she thought.

Suddenly her thoughts are disturbed with Henry and Paige orbing in. Piper detects a wry smile on Paige's face.

"Why are you smiling?" asks Piper.
"Oh me and Henry are going on a trip"
"Yes",pipes in Henry,"I managed to get some overdue time off"
"Yes," Paige enthuses,"white sands, warm sunbeams, and general lazing about."
"Ha, well sis, have you just become a mind reader?" quips Piper.
"No, i am no psychic,ask Phoebe!"
"It's funny, i was thinking that me and Leo should have a holiday without the kids". Piper waits for a retort.
"I see what you are up to missy.." Paige exclaims,"you want me to babysit."
Piper squirms a bit, a wan smile streaks across her face.
"Er honey," Paige asks Henry, ".. i need to have a private chat with my elder sister."
"Okay hon".
Piper and Paige retire to the conservatory. Paige grabs Piper by her arm with a distinct decisiveness.
"Okay..i know you want a break, but so do i , especially Henry.He deserves it more with some of his recalcitrant paroles,Could you get dad to look after them".
Piper,slightly taken aback,feebly interjects,"I will buy you some roses"
"More like Jimmy Choos or a Prada bag i think"
Then a flash of inspiration comes over Paige.
"You know we could make it a foursome?"
Piper's mood perks up, "I hadn't thought about that"
She muses further.
"Okay,i shall ask dad and if we could summon our mum to help out as well then its on.Just don't tell phoebe about it."
"Cool,then we can orb anyway we like" interjects Paige.
They return to the main lounge where Henry has sat down reading a newspaper.
"Everything's ok?" he asks Paige.
"it is now hon".
The grandfather clock strikes twelve.
"Well time has flown.." ,rues,"Piper we got to go.I have a new charge to look after, another future whitelighter, and she does not knowit yet".
"Okay, we shall discuss where to go next time, quips Piper.
"Bye" both of them say as they orb out of the Manor.

A couple of more related Charmed vids found on You Tube.

The Book of Shadows



Apparently there is a full replica of the book that you can buy -



The books are released in limited quantities throughout the year. But apparently are now sold out.This has to be the absolute want for any fan of the show.
Measurements: 11x14 / Pages: 10.5x13 (True to the original prop!)

Now if you want the true background th Shannen;s dismissal from Charmed here is a link -

How dare they!!!!! Fuck the CW - the standalone Charmed reboot set in the seventies has nothing to do with the Charmed sisters.

http://tvline.com/2017/01/08/charmed-revival-prequel-the-cw-spoilers-cast/

None of the original cast will be in it and t the moment will be a standalone show. Set nearly four decades before the original series, the quasi-prequel revolves around three witches who are brought together to fight evil in a small New England town - not in San Francisco and the three "witches" are not even blood related.

This is fraudulent -how can they call it Charmed.
This is the unofficial description of the three impostors of this counterfeit show -

"Tina: African American. Whip-smart, Tina is one dissertation (and one dissertation advisor) away from a PhD. She can be reserved, even standoffish, in uncomfortable situations, but she picks up on
everything and she’s definitely making quick, accurate judgments about you.

Paige: Caucasian Cheerful, curvy, wholesome and as all-American as the apple pie she can’t wait to serve to the husband she has yet to marry. Paige’s main goal in life is to marry a rich doctor and be a wife and mother."
Not even the well known Paige Matthews as played by Rose McGowan.

"Annie: Caucasian. Intense, smart, and quick to anger. She dresses neutrally, though she could give two s–ts if you like her outfit, so stop wondering what “neutral” means. But under that tough façade, well… there is a fragility. A person desperate to be loved, and love."

Charmed’s biggest strength was the sister bond, so I’m a little confused where this reboot is coming from. I’ll probably watch regardless since I loved Charmed.. but i will not be happy until those idiots at this screwball US channel rethink their approach .. they have shitted upon the fans.

It will be a travesty!

Another great band - one that i discovered via The Wire magazine of all things modern and less than mainstream is the Flaming Lips. I would like to get their new album at some point.

Anyway the reason for mentioning them again is that they also appeared in an episode of Charmed. The song is "Do You Realize".
