The Biggest Behind-The-Scenes Scandals To Hit Teen Dramas

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Wednesday, May 8, 2024

The 2018 "Charmed" reboot followed the same roadmap as the original series, but follows three new witchy sisters, Macy Vaughn (Madeleine Mantock), and Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie Vera (Sarah Jeffery). And, despite taking many elements from the original series, the original cast felt slighted by the way it was marketed — as a feminist version of "Charmed."  This was further compounded in a TikTok video where Holly Marie Combs and Rose McGowan slated the reboot, despite admitting they hadn't watched it.

However, reboot star Sarah Jeffrey took to Twitter to call them out for their comments. "I truly hope they find happiness elsewhere, and not in the form of putting down other WOC. I would be embarrassed to behave this way," she wrote on Twitter. The original cast eventually retracted some of their criticism of the reboot, with Combs saying they were happy it provided jobs and continued the "Charmed" legacy, but wanted to call out the poor marketing.

These comments temporarily drew a line in the sand under the feud between "Charmed" shows, but the reboot's finale stirred up drama once again. In the last scene, Mel, Maggie, and Kayla (Lucy Barrett) find themselves on the front steps of the Halliwell Manor, leaving the ending up to viewer's imaginations. But, Curtis Kheel, a writer for the original series stirred up the feud again, tweeting, "I can tell u what happened next: Piper, Phoebe & Paige vanquished the 3 imposters right after they invaded Halliwell Manor."
