Charmed : An Eye For An Eye
After having read many interviews in which Shannen Doherty gave the reasons for her departure from Charmed, WB network officials felt insulted. Shannen didn’t hesitate to say that she felt she was wasting her talent working on a show watched only by children. Following those declarations, a WB official retorted by giving an interview about the "truth" to a reporter. In this interview he declared, "We read that Shannen thought she gave the best of herself in Charmed but that no one noticed it because the show is watched by twelve-year-olds. In our opinion that idea started to grow in her mind when she went to prison for drunk driving. At that moment, when her co-prisoners didn’t recognize her, she must’ve told herself that Charmed wasn’t a show watch by adults. By the way, when Shannen was convicted to community work, I was surprised. I thought she’d ask the judge to change her penalty in days in prison. After all she’s used to the prison now?
Charmed : New Start
The new season of Charmed will start this fall with a two-hour episode. If the producers chose to make an episode twice as long as usual, it’s to be able to introduce to the viewer’s Phoebe and Piper’s new sister, Paige Halliwell, played by Rose McGowan. In this first episode of the fourth season, entitled Charmed Again, Leo consults the Elders and discovers the existence of a person capable of restoring the Power of Three. It’s Paige. She appears in their crystal ball dancing in P3 with her boyfriend Shane. Later Paige mysteriously finds herself at Prue’s funeral. She stays back and doesn’t want to get noticed. Piper and Phoebe will finally discover that Paige is their sister by seeing she possesses a blanket with a P embroidered on it, meaning that they have the same mother. At first, the relationship between Piper, Phoebe and their new sister will be tense. Paige has difficulty using her powers for other things than personal gain and can’t correctly follow the Wiccan rules. She will have to learn to be a good witch. At the same time, Piper and Phoebe’s powers will grow.
