Murphy shared how she believes Tabitha would be living her life in the modern day. The 61-year-old actress said she envisions her character as being free with her magical powers and finding great success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I think she would be very successful at whatever she did. I think she would not be afraid to use her magic because women of my generation and Tabitha\u2019s generation are free to be and do whatever they want. So, I think she wouldn\u2019t feel the need to hide in the closet. She would be out there living her best life,&#8221; said Murphy to ReMind magazine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The character, Tabitha, had her very own 1977 spinoff series titled <em>Tabitha<\/em> that ran for one season, as reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0075590\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:IMDb;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">IMDb<\/a>.

She said that she enjoyed filming more than her sister, so she eventually took over the role of Tabitha completely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Murphy also said while she doesn&#8217;t &#8220;remember the audition process because [she] was a baby,&#8221; she &#8220;remember[s] all of the show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Murphy made similar comments in the October 2025 ReMind Magazine interview.
