Caroline Rhea Comments on Absent Final Season Sabrina the Teenage Witch Role

Caroline Rhea, who portrayed Aunt Hilda on the 1990s sitcom 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch,' expressed that it felt 'weird' and 'messed up' to be absent from the show's final season because she left to host a talk show. Despite missing much of the seventh season, she maintains a close bond with co-stars Melissa Joan Hart and Beth Broderick, whom she considers family, and fondly recalls the show's impact. Hart acknowledged some past hurt feelings related to cast changes but emphasized the closeness of the cast today. Rhea has since reprised her role in the series finale and on other projects, and enjoys sharing the show with her daughter, appreciating how well it has aged. Both Rhea and Broderick were absent for most of the last season, which marked a significant cast change in the series. Although a reboot has not materialized, Rhea continues to cherish her time on the show and its legacy.
