ALYSSA MILANO SUPPORTS THE CHARMED REBOOT
Though Milano was initially opposed to the idea of a reboot (she tweeted in 2013 that it felt "too close"), she has since come around. "I do hope that it reaches the newer generation and impacts that generation the way ours was able to do for its generation," Milano recently told ET Online, adding, "I wish that they would have come to [the original cast] and we would have been involved since the beginning."

HOLLY MARIE COMBS DOES NOT SUPPORT THE CHARMED REBOOT
"Until you ask us to rewrite it like [executive producer] Brad Kern did weekly, don't even think of capitalizing on our hard work," Combs tweeted in January. "Charmed belongs to the four of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye."

ANTHONY STEWART HEAD SUPPORTS THE BUFFY REBOOT
The man formerly known as Giles fired off this supportive (and very cheeky) tweet after news of the reboot broke: "Whether a reboot or a spin-off, or Re-vamp (see what I did there) it is finally something that Joss will oversee, and it is his universe – he has developed extraordinary storylines in the comic book – and it will take the viewers way beyond anything they expect."
