It's so cool. This is comfy, right?

Sarah Jeffery

This is amazing.

Melonie Diaz

Yes.

Young Hollywood

I know, I'm like loving it. Exactly what needed to happen. So let's talk about the show. This is amazing. Female cast, amazing. So, did you guys watch the original series of Charmed?

Madeleine Mantock

I'd seen bits. Yeah. Before we started I wanted to watch the pilot to sort of I don't know, just check the tone and see what was going on and then yeah and then we just got into it. So I was definitely aware of it, yeah.

Young Hollywood

I love that. What about you?

Sarah Jeffery

Um, I was very familiar with it. I hadn't, you know, watched the full series, but my cousin is like a mega fan, so I was very aware of it. And then when I booked it, you know, I went and watched, naturally watched some episodes.

Melonie Diaz

Yeah, my sister is like three years older than me and like she would always have it on in the background, and so I have these like these memories of like seeing Charmed all around. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So, I love the idea of witches. Like I personally sometimes wish I could be a witch. I mean, obviously the all black I did that just for you guys. Yeah.

Melonie Diaz

Yes, girl.

Young Hollywood

So what kind of qualities do you think it takes to be like a badass witch? Like you ladies play them on TV so.

Madeleine Mantock

We're such different characters, but we're also like normal, normal young women. And I think hopefully, you know, for our viewership, we'll show them that, you know, in some way they could be like that too. Physically, pilates helps me in the long run.

Sarah Jeffery

I think you have to be empathetic.

Melonie Diaz

I think you have to be able to like exist in one coven. Yes. Collaborative as a witch. Yeah. I think it's important.

Young Hollywood

And all of you ladies have different powers on the show as well, right?

Melonie Diaz

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Okay, go down the line. I want to know what each one.

Sarah Jeffery

So I'm playing Maggie, and I can read minds.

Madeleine Mantock

Macy, and I have telekinesis.

Melonie Diaz

I play Melanie, or Mel. I'm Melanie. So confusing. Um, and I stop time. So freaking cool.

Young Hollywood

I love it so much. What's your favorite part about playing sisters? You guys seem so close and chill already, so.

Sarah Jeffery

Yeah, we get to like portray what it really means to be sisters and like the messy bits and the loving bits and loving each other through everything.

Madeleine Mantock

I love being a sibling in real life, so it feels really nice to be able to like come to set and have like, you know, new new faux siblings to to get to experience all that stuff with.

Sarah Jeffery

And we have a group chat too so we can kind of like keep in touch and because we've not started filming yet, so I've not I've not been in I don't live in LA. So that's really nice so we can kind of like

Young Hollywood

That's so fun. Yeah. What do you guys group chat about? Anything that you shouldn't tell?

Madeleine Mantock

Everything. Everything. What we're going to wear, have you seen this on Twitter? Have you got any scripts yet? Anything? Updates, updates, updates.

Sarah Jeffery

Yeah, when are you going to Vancouver? Just yeah.

Young Hollywood

It sounds fun. Can I be added to the group chat?

Melonie Diaz

Absolutely. Yes.

Sarah Jeffery

Yeah, girl.

Young Hollywood

I love it. Okay, if you ladies were witches in real life, you guys are probably going to get this question a ton of times, but what would your main spell be? What would it be for?

Sarah Jeffery

Oh, I think my spell would be to everybody should like find their person. Like everybody should like find a companion.

Young Hollywood

Like true love?

Sarah Jeffery

Yeah, true love everywhere.

Madeleine Mantock

I've thought one, um, I would love to be able to know all of the languages in the world. So that no matter where I went, even if it was like a remote place that I could speak to, you know, communicate with everyone.

Young Hollywood

I love that. That's a good one.

Melonie Diaz

Don't have a good answer because I want to do so many things.

Young Hollywood

Anything that comes to mind?

Melonie Diaz

To be a grand wizard. Yes, absolutely.

Young Hollywood

So, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I feel like spirituality is really kind of taken like a forefront like our generation.

Melonie Diaz

Oh my gosh, yeah.

Young Hollywood

The crystals, the sage, like all of the like witchy cool things. So like question, have you ladies ever experienced something spiritual or do you use crystals or something like that?

Sarah Jeffery

Oh, I'm all about crystals and Paulo Santo and sage and tarot cards and all of that stuff like.

Young Hollywood

Can you do tarot card readings?

Sarah Jeffery

No. I mean like me and my girlfriends will like drink wine and like pull cards and like that's like as far as it's gone, but

Young Hollywood

That's fun.

Sarah Jeffery

But I don't know. I just I love the idea that like there's magic out there and we can like we can be anything and I don't know, it's nice to feel that there's like something else out there.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I love that. What about you?

Madeleine Mantock

I have some crystals. I don't know if I'm doing it right though cause I I have cause I travel a lot. I have them and they kind of represent people that are important to me in my life, so I always have them with me.

Young Hollywood

Right. That's fine.

Madeleine Mantock

Yeah. I like them for that.

Melonie Diaz

Me too. I also have crystals. We like shiny things, okay?

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I can tell with your dress. I love it. I consider myself a very spiritual person. I've had experiences with spirits and I definitely believe in it and I accept it and I welcome it. Well, ladies, I think it's safe to say that they casted the three just most perfect ladies to play the charmed witches.
