Ever since his wife died 4 years ago many women tried to get a way to his heart or to his wallet either, and he swears to himself he can’t be deceived, but then he finds himself one day getting attracted to Anastacia.
Here in Charmed: The Donovan Legacy, we have a male lead who’s scared of diving into love, and a female lead who’s a virgin and has a lot of things that hold her back too. I like the sort of conflict created in the characters. So, the question here is whether one of them, Anastacia or Boone would have the courage enough to pursue and to be real with what they really feel.
Jessie
In Charmed: The Donovan Legacy, Jessie is the 6 years old daughter of Boone. She was a sweet kid, and she has a dog.
Her allure gets way to Anastacia, and so they become close at first. Many women prior to Anastacia, tended to use her to get to her dad, but none of them was as sincere as Anastacia. Jessie’s character here in Charmed: The Donovan Legacy is the typical adorable girl of a single dad, whom the female lead usually gets enchanted with.
