Several reports claimed that Combs was not happy because the reboot will add a lesbian main character in the story. However, Combs clarified that she has no issues with a gay character in the reboot. She claimed that she was just not happy when the network used it as a "twist" in the story.
The lesbian character in the "Charmed" reboot will be named Mel Pruitt. She is described as a tough mid 20s feminist who has the tendency to be controlling at times. She will reportedly have the power of freezing time.
Mel will have a younger sister named Madison, an athletic college student who wants to fit in. She will be terrified when she found out that she is a witch, and her secret power is her ability to hear people's thoughts.
The Pruitts will also meet Macy, a funny science nerd who reportedly has reasons to believe that she is Mel and Madison's elder sister. She also has a power of telekinesis.
The CW has yet to announce more details about the planned "Charmed" reboot.
