Melonie Diaz from 'Charmed' reboot wants peace with the original cast, says: "I hope they can be part of our show"

The original cast isn’t involved and the new show doesn’t have their blessing, it seems, but the 'Charmed' reboot is set to premiere this Sunday.

Earlier this year in January when CW’s 'Charmed' reboot was announced it caused a lot of controversy because the original cast wasn't included in the new show, and hence they didn't approve of it. 

“I know the show is a big part of their identity, I’m not exactly sure why some of them are not happy,” Melonie Diaz, 34, who stars in the reboot as middle sister Mel Vera told New York Post. When it was announced that the reboot will have a feminist angle, Holly Marie Combs, who starred in the original WB series as Piper Halliwell, took to Twitter and said, “Guess we forgot to do that the first go around. Hmph.” Shannen Doherty tweeted an almost similar message.
