Melissa Joan Hart is playing A GRANDMA on TV and we are unwell

Everyone’s favorite TEENAGE witch and tween Clarissa has come back to our televisions—as a grandma in a Lifetime movie. Yes, 47-year-old Melissa Joan Hart plays a grandma in the Lifetime original movie “Would You Kill for Me? The Mary Bailey Story.” 

I will pause here for a moment so you can pick up your jaw off the ground.

We all loved her in the ‘90s as Clarissa—and wanted to be her, to be honest—and of course as Sabrina on TGIF for the first four seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. But now she’s all grown up, as are we apparently, and playing characters on Lifetime movies…grandma characters. Not only does Hart not look like a grandmother, but I feel like in this day and age, 47 year olds are becoming new mothers, not GRANDMOTHERS.

And I am not alone in my thinking. A post on X, formerly Twitter, went viral featuring a clip of Hart acting in the movie, where she plays Ella, the grandmother.” MISERY LOVES COMPANY,” Virginia Brasch posted. “I present Melissa Joan Hart as granny! The responses were pure gold, and completely relatable at least. We’re all in pain together.

“Everyone check in on your elder Millennials, we are not OK @shannonsita responded as a reply to the tweet. Brasch responded to her, “Our ankles hurt and now our pride, too!” And she’s 100 percent correct. 

“Pardon me while I walk quietly into the sea,” Heather Carter responded. Brasher said, “Save me a wave.”

The movie actually looks watchable, though. According to IMDB, “It tells the story of an abusive man who was shot at home from three perspectives: the mother, her 11-year-old daughter and her grandmother who lived with them.” And it’s a true story, too, according to PEOPLE. Eleven-year-old Mary Bailey was coerced into shooting and killing her abusive step-father by her mother. And she did it.

After Mary watched her step-father slap her grandmother so hard she went deaf, and he held a butcher knife to her mom’s throat, Mary’s mom told her to grab the gun and shoot him.

After watching Melissa Joan Hart be a grandmother, you should totally pick up Mary’s memoir about her experience, titled, My Mother’s Soldier.

Now excuse me as I prepare my urn.
