Across 7 seasons, Sabrina had the very same team throughout production. “We became a really close-knit group,” Melissa stated. Plus, dealing with her mother Paula made it a real household on set. “With the two of us at the helm, we sort of set the tone for a family-friendly, fun atmosphere,” Melissa kept in mind. “People that like to get the work done but who like to have fun.”
A bulk of the team had actually originated from Murder, She Wrote and brought a comfy familiarity to the Sabrina set. “They knew this was going to take them to retirement, so it was just a happy atmosphere all around,” Melissa continued. “We really just set a tone, like, ‘Life’s too short. We’re not going to let people come in here who will ruin our day. We’re just going to keep the egos light and get the work done.'”
Together, the cast and team took a trip the world, from Rome to Australia toFlorida “We even got to go to Vegas for a wrap party,” Melissa stated. “We traveled all the time together on weekends for hiatuses. We’d go snowboard together or go away on girl trips. Those are still some of my best friends. It was basically my college years, stretched out over seven years. We were really tight. It was definitely, definitely like a family.”
