It’s clear that Holly Marie Combs (the original Piper, and only one as far as we’re concerned) isn’t too happy with the reboot of the show that launched her career, Charmed. And for good reason.
The reboot is nothing like the original (they aren’t even P’s for God’s sake!), though The CW insists for fans to give it a shot.
This week, Holly responded to a Yahoo article that seemingly misrepresented her comments on the forthcoming series. “Let me say first that I appreciate the jobs and opportunities the Charmed reboot has created. 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,” she continued. “Reboots fair better when they honor the original as opposed to taking shots at the original. Reboots also do better when they listen to a still passionate fan base which is what it’s all about, isn’t it? That’s why we do reboots. The fans are why we all get to do what we do. So we wish them well and hope for success.”
