connection head Mark Pedowitzhopesfans will give this new pass a chance, but there are still some vocal skeptics.
At the very least, doubters will have a better idea of whats coming.
Original: Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) was always the problem child of the Halliwell sisters.
The CW
Youll notice in theCharmedtrailer how she punches a man in front of a bunch of Times Up signs.
Original: Piper (Holly Marie Combs) also had to endure a familial shift.
(As Pipers powers grew, so did their range.
The CW; Everett Collection
And there were some episodes that contradicted this Wiccan rule.)
Mel initially shuts her down, since she cant handle another shocker.
The change in last name suggests she has foster parents.
The CW; Everett Collection
With telekinesis as her gift, Macy also seems to be a conglomerate of Prue Halliwell and Paige Matthews.
As the eldest sister, she was also considered the most powerful.
Patty Halliwell, the sisters mother, had Paige with her Whitelighter, an angelic guide for witches.
The CW; Everett Collection
Because it was forbidden, she had to give Paige up for adoption.
He poses as the chair of the womens studies department at Hilltowne but is really the familys Whitelighter.
A Whitelighter is an angel assigned to a witch coven by the powers that be (a.k.a.
The CW; Everett Collection
the Elders) for guidance and also healing after supernatural attacks.
Though relationships between witches and Whitelighters were forbidden, he shacked up with Piper anyway.
The two later married and gave birth to half-Whitelighter children.

Marisol vs. Patty
Reboot: Marisol (Valerie Cruz) is the mother of the Charmed Ones.
A witch herself, she cast a spell to bind her daughters magic so they could live normal lives.
She was in the middle of unbinding their powers when she was attacked and killed by some supernatural force.
The CW; Everett Collection
After her death, her spell broke and awoke their abilities.
Patty (Finola Hughes), the girls mother, had already died years earlier in a demonic attack.
Both women would return throughout the series in ghost form to aid the Halliwells.
The CW; The WB
It appears from the trailer shes also looking into the death of Marisol.
Its a guide for them to protect the innocent and vanquish demons.
It just so happened that the Halliwells Book of Shadows was the most powerful.
The CW; The WB
It rested on the prison of the Shadow, which took the form of a living black cloud.
The attic
The attic too holds similarities to the original.
Bad taste in men
Demons are a real threat reboot or not.
The CW; The WB
When the Charmed Ones power is activated, it attracts evil.
Piper had been dating a guy named Jeremy, who turned out to be a warlock.
He only revealed himself when he confirmed their powers had awakened so he could then steal them.
The CW; The WB
Rhyming is so 2000-and-late
Whenever the Halliwell sisters rhymed, magic was bound to happen.
But the Veras are going for more of a Latin chant to vanquish demons.
The same seems to go for the evil haunting the Veras.
