"Description:
In this night and at this hour,
I call upon the Ancient Power.
Bring your powers to we sisters three.
We want the power. Give us the power!
Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell didn't think reading a magical incantation would really work. But it did. Now Prue can move things with her mind. Piper can freeze time, and Phoebe can see the future. They are the Charmed Ones—the most powerful of witches. But being enchanted has a price. There's a warlock who wants to steal their powers.
And he'll do it any way he can—even if it means killing them!"
"Based on a real-life Southern lawyer and pageant coach Bill Alverson, the pilot takes a closer look at Bob (The Walking Dead's Dallas Roberts) a “disgraced, dissatisfied civil lawyer” who becomes a beauty pageant coach.
Milano will play his wife, Coralee, who is reportedly a bit of a social climber. Sounds like a role that Milano can have a little fun with and it seems she will since it's all set to be a recurring one.
This is Milano's first series since leaving Mistresses in 2014 but as that sexy series taught us the actress we first met as a kid playing Samantha Micelli on Who's The Boss? has a lot of range. She can be funny one minute and totally the nail the dramatic the next, which is why you should be prepared to see Milano slay it on this new series.
Also, be prepared for her to be playing a fierce female character. As Milano told Paste last year, "Television has always created great, strong female characters even when the film world didn't and doesn't — because it's still that way. If you look at these factors, years, and years, and years ago, even when you look at shows like Cagney and Lacey — those were two really strong women. Even Who's The Boss? Look at Angela. She was a divorced, single mom that ran her own business, who hired a dude to take care of the kids and house."
Basically, don't expect Milano's Coralee to stand back and let her husband have all the fun. Especially since that is so not what Milano, who has taken on President Donald Trump and those who think she can't breastfeed in public, would do in real life.
The CW won't be the only play you'll see Milano in 2017. Deadline reported that she will appear in Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later when it premieres later this year."
"My journey with mental illnesses began with my journey into motherhood,” she wrote, explaining that she had a “dream” pregnancy that ended with a complicated labor that included throwing out most of her birth plan and undergoing a cesarean section.
“That first night, after we returned from the hospital, I suffered my first anxiety attack,” she wrote. “I felt like I had already disappointed my child. I felt like I failed as a mother since I was not able to give birth vaginally or nourish him with the breast milk that had not come in yet. My heart raced. My stomach seized up. I felt like I was dying.”
Milano recovered but said her anxiety returned a few months later when her son got very sick. Then, when she had to go back to work, her illness worsened.
“I began to develop irrational and obsessive fears,” she wrote. “Like many working moms, I was overwhelmed by guilt for leaving my son during work hours, and like many others who suffer from anxiety, my pain was not taken seriously.”
She said the anxiety that built up during 16-hour days on set culminated in debilitating anxiety attacks at night.
“Finally, I hit a wall. One early morning, I went to the emergency room at 2:00 AM, asked for a psychiatrist and got help,” she said"
"Milano said she found comfort in the fact that she was not alone. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, nearly 44 million Americans experience mental illness in a given year. She also pointed out that under the latest Trump tax plan passed on December, 13 million Americans could lose health insurance.
"So to me, I think we have to rededicate ourselves to really making mental illness a priority," Milano said.
Milano called on the Trump administration to fix the problem, especially because the president has cited mental health as a cause for the prevalence of mass shootings in our country.
In February, President Trump tweeted that the accused Parkland High School shooter showed signs of being "mentally disturbed" and after the deadly 2017 church shooting in Texas, Trump said, "Mental health is your problem here. ... This isn't a guns situation."
"We see this administration blaming these mass shootings on mental illness. ... If that's what you are going to blame it on, you have got to step up to the plate and do something," Milano said. "Get them the care that they need."
She also said that if the White House refused to make progress on mental health care, "I think the NRA should stand up there and help us fund mental health programs throughout the country."
According to the American Psychiatric Association, mass shootings by people with serious mental illness represent 1 percent of all gun homicides each year.
"We're more likely to hurt ourselves than we are other people," Milano said."
"“It’s a fresh take,” Charmed star Madeleine Mantock told PEOPLE at The CW’s upfronts presentation in New York City on Thursday. “The main similarities are there are three sisters. There are a few nods to the original in the pilot.”
Mantock plays Macy, Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie’s (Sarah Jeffery) older sister who turns up on their doorstep after the suspicious death of their mother. As they were getting to know one another, each girl discovers they have magic powers: Mel can freeze time, Maggie can read minds and Macy has telekinesis.
Though Mel initially isn’t welcoming to her long-lost sister, off-screen Mantock said the leading ladies already feel like family. “We have a really good bond already,” the 28-year-old gushed. “I feel really grateful, and I love working with these two.”
Diaz, Jeffery, and Mantock haven’t let the backlash that followed the news of the reboot worry them. (Combs tweeted in January that the remake wouldn’t “fool” fans of the ’90s drama. While Doherty was generally supportive of the project, she criticized the new installment for billing itself as feminist, since she considered the original series as such.)
“We want the fans to like it, but at the same time I feel like the expectation is not exactly the healthiest,” Ro alum Diaz, 34, said. “We just want to make a good show.”
Shades of Blue actress Jeffery, 22, added, “We definitely respect the foundation that has been made but there are of course new themes. We’re in a totally different time.”
Mantock said that despite the tension, the new cast would be “very welcoming” to input or appearances from the original stars. “We’re open to it,” the Into the Badlands alum said, adding that she hopes longtime fans will introduce the new series to their kids. “I think it could be a cool generational thing to share.”"
"In 2011, two years after suffering a miscarriage, I learned that I was pregnant with my first son, Milo — and it was a dream. My miscarriage was heartbreaking, but this pregnancy was beautiful: I did not experience morning sickness; I went to prenatal yoga five times a week; I walked two miles a day, and I took naps in the afternoon.
Following this idyllic image of motherhood, I wrote a strict birth plan: no induction of labor, no pain medication, and no c-sections. I equated a natural birth to my value as a woman and as a mother — and I was determined not to stray from that course.
But life does not always go according to plan.
On August 31, 2011, ten days before my due date, I began to have complications. Despite my plan, the doctors had to try to induce labor. I was forced to take an epidural, and I eventually delivered my beautiful son (after 18 hours of labor and three and a half hours of pushing) via C-section. And then, with my darling son in my hands, I was in excruciating pain not only from my C-section but also, from my milk coming in.
That first night, after we returned from the hospital, I suffered my first anxiety attack. I felt like I had already disappointed my child. I felt like I failed as a mother since I was not able to give birth vaginally or nourish him with the breast milk that had not come in yet. My heart raced. My stomach seized up. I felt like I was dying.
I recovered. But a few months later, Milo spiked a very high fever and had a febrile seizure in my arms, and my paralyzing anxiety reared its head again.
No, no, no, I thought to myself. This can’t be happening again. I don’t have time for this. This was still 2011, and I was supposed to start work on a television show the following week."
"Description:
By the powers above
And by all things good,
Bring me a love
Who will always be true.
Although Paige's latest boyfriend—encountered when vanquishing a demon that was about to kill him and his date—appears perfect, Phoebe tells Piper about the misgivings she has and when she discovers that he is actually the mortal identity of the demon Vandalus, who traps Paige in his garden and sets out to seduce her so that he can break the curse he is under and unlock his full power.
Thanks to a last-ditch effort to penetrate the shield Vandalus had erected to block access by using Cole to bypass the shield—it had been erected to prevent good from penetrating, but Cole's powers coming from evil gave the Charmed Ones an unexpected loophole—Vandalus's influence over Paige is broken and he is vanquished."
"Insatiable, inspired by a real-life story, tells the tale of a disgraced, dissatisfied civil lawyer-turned-beauty pageant coach who takes on a bullied teenager as his client. According to Deadline, Netflix is about to save the day by ordering a 13-episode series.
Former Disney star Debby Ryan leads Insatiable's cast as the bullied teen, while Dallas Roberts, formerly of The Walking Dead and The Good Wife, takes on the role of attorney Bob. Alyssa Milano is also part of the cast.
The dark comedy was piloted by The CW to good reviews, but in the facts of stiff competition from other pilots including DC Comics series Black Lightning and the upcoming Dynasty reboot, The CW dropped the show and decided not to take it up to series.
The streaming service is thought to be finalizing a deal with CBS TV Studios over the rights to the show, with hopes of making it a Netflix Original series.
Netflix has declined to make the official comment on the reports.
This isn't the first time that a CBS TV Studios pilot which missed out on a network pickup has been saved by a streaming service.
Back in 2015, Amazon landed the rights to make Bryan Cranston drama Sneaky Pete an Amazon Original after the show failed to find a home on network TV in the US – and it isn't doing badly."
""That time the boss Alyssa Milano came to the mall when I was 15 and I lost my damn mind. I was obsessed," Mendes captioned the shot. "❤️#tbt @milano_alyssa," Milano commented on the post with a kissy face and hug emoji.
ET caught up with Who's the Boss? star Judith Light last month, when she opened up about the possibility of the sitcom getting the reboot treatment.
“I don't know,” she admitted. “Nobody's really talked about it, and I don't know that that would... I mean, we're all working. Tony [Danza]'s got a show on Netflix, Alyssa's working, Danny [Pintauro]'s working, and you know, Katherine [Helmond]'s working, I'm not sure we'd be able to put it together. Nobody's really talked about it, so I don't know.”"
"The day after the Parkland shooting, Milano emailed her activist, artist, and celebrity friends, looking for something they could do to help. Since then, they’ve worked together onNoRA (No Rifle Association) with the goal of highlighting the NRA’s spending in American politics.
The group, which includes a number of other celebrity and activists members, including Tarana Burke, David Hogg, Minnie Driver, Amy Schumer, and Jimmy Kimmel, first launched in late April, on the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting. They wrote an open letter to NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, which read, "Your time signing checks in our blood is up."
“We call ourselves a culture hack,” Milano told ELLE.com over the phone, days before the convention. “And we’re using art, in particular, to drive our message because I feel like there is no better conversation instigator than art, and I also feel like art is something that bridges the divide.”
But, she clarifies, they’re not anti-Second Amendment. In fact, they want to stress the difference between the NRA members and the gun lobbyists. Milano says they believe in responsible gun ownership, they just don’t believe in the stronghold the gun lobby has over the country’s political system."
