ASK PHOEBE
Have a question about the show? Ask away by filling in the form at the bottom and 'Phoebe' will find the answer!
(NOTE: This is for questions on the show only - not the site. Also, I am NOT a Charmed producer and I certainly am NOT PHOEBE!!!!)
:: New questions are at the top
:: What are the names of Paige and Henry's twin girls?
It is never stated in the finale what their names are, but according to one of the Charmed novels, one of the girls is called Pandora.
:: What episode did Billie first appear in?
Episode 8.01 - Still Charmed & Kicking
:: Was there a different cast member as one of the Sisters in the pilot?
Yes, Lori Rom played the part of Phoebe Halliwell but left to pursue other projects, so Alyssa Milano was brought in - Thank God, eh? You can download the pilot in four parts here.
:: Is the Charmed theme song ("How Soon Is Now?" By Love Spit Love) the one that is heard in the 1996 movie, 'The Craft'?
I have never seen it, but according to IMDB.com - Yes!
:: Why does everyone presume the girl in finale is Piper's daughter Melinda? Isn't it possible that it's one of Phoebe's daughter's friends or something?
Well, yes, I suppose it is, but I think it's safe to say that the first idea is even more possible as we know from the Sister's trip to the future (Episode 2.02 - Morality Bites) that Piper does in fact have a daughter called Melinda.
:: Is there anyway of getting Charmed producers to make a spinoff?
Possibly! Head over to The Charmed Sons to join their crusade for a spin off with Chris and Wyatt Halliwell.
:: How come the Charmed DVDs don't have any special features on them?
When filming seasons 1-7, there was never any talk of releasing Charmed box sets, so no extra features were made. This changed during the filming of season 8, however, so this box set does include extras.
:: Why was the character of Cole taken out? Did Julian want to leave the show?
The demise of the character cole was a mutual decision between Julian McMahon (who played Cole) and Aaron Spelling, the shows creator. Executive producer Brad Kern said this about the McMahon's departure:

"It was a mutual decision for Julian, as well as Aaron [Spelling], Duke [Vincent], myself and the network. When we first cast Julian [as Cole] and created the character, we only imagined the character lasting a year. We had no idea that the audience response would be so great, that Julian would be so terrific and that he and Alyssa would develop so much onscreen chemistry. I feel personally that we're starting to stretch the character too much. Based on the way we created the character, there are only so many ways you can go, and we've found every nook and cranny. It felt creatively like it was time to free up Alyssa's character, and Julian had expressed interested in exploring other opportunities. I'm going to miss him terribly--personally and professionally."

Julian McMahon said he felt frustrated with his character and wanted to move on to new projects:

"I was sitting at home during the summertime, and I knew I needed to push my boundaries creatively. I called Brad and asked if I could get off the show. He has been wonderful in regards to everything, the exit and demise of my character. It's a good time for me to leave. When you've done something for four or five years, it's not as easy to be passionate about it, and it's good to do something else. I'll miss all the people here. I've had a lot of fun. It has been fun to walk on set every day. It stems from the fact that I'm enjoying my work. The girls and Brian and Dorian have been extremely liberal in their ability to put up with whatever I throw at them, and I tip my hat to them and thank them for it."
:: What episode did Paige come in?
Episode 4.01 - Charmed Again
:: What season did Chris first appear in?
Season 5 in the very last episode, 'Oh My Goddess.' He was then in season six until the very last episode and has appeared in season 7 and 8.
:: Where can I get Season 8 on DVD?
See this page for your answer!
:: Did T.W. King (Andy) want to leave Charmed?
Not necessarily, I think he just wanted to widen his career and pursue other projects!
:: What were Wyatt and Chris's warren gifts?
I don't recall them having any... Anybody is free to correct me if I'm wrong!
:: How come in the Season 3 episode 'Primrose Empath' Prue suddenly knows martial arts? She even levitated to do a high kick! I thought this was Phoebe's thing...?
Another very good question! We can just assume that Prue acquired so much energy and ferociousness through having the empath power that she was able to 'kick ass', in her words. As for the levitation, I think they were paying tribute to matrix or something! This is another unexplained thing, I think.
:: Which episode is Prue's funeral in?
Episode 4.01 - Charmed Again (Part 1)
:: Who did the Charmed Ones marry and when?
Piper and Leo got married in episode 3.15 (Just Harried) after a failed attempt in 3.02 (Magic Hour), where the Elders intercepted. Phoebe got married to Cole in a dark ceremony in episode 4.15 (Marry-Go-Round). She then got married to Dex in episode 8.05 (Rewitched) after a spell cast by Bille goes awry. In episode 8.22, the series finale (Forever Charmed), it is revealed that in the future she marries Coop, and is finally happy! Paige got married to Henry in episode 8.16 (Engaged and Confused).
How does time travel work?
That's a rather epic question; very complicated! While I try figure it out myself, check out this link for a very in depth explaination!
When did Phoebe get her powers back?
After losing her powers in episode 6.19 ('Crimes and Witch Demeanors') for using them selfishly, she regained them in episode 7.05 ('Styx feet Under'), although it seems she only regained premonitions, not levitation or empathy.
Why in the 8th season did the theme tune change?
Apparently it had something to do with copyright laws and rights, etc, etc. Another reason I think is because they wanted to update it a bit, which I personally don't agree with, because 'How Soon Is Now?' (the original theme) is so muhc better!
Do you know if they are going to make a Charmed Sims game?
There is no word of it, but you can download Charmed items for your Sims 2 game HERE.
Does Piper have any girls?
Yes. We find out in the series finale, 'Forever Charmed', that Piper and Leo have a girl who they call Melinda.
When and how does Prue die? I've seen the episode of her and Piper getting healed by Leo after being attacked by Shax. Confusing. The episode of Prue dying is never aired on TV.
You are correct, the episode of Prue dying doesn't exist, which was the point! The end of season 3 was left as a cliffhanger so viewers would not know if it was Prue or Piper, or anybody at all, that died. It was a good way of raking in more viewers for the next season. Prue and Piper are healed earlier on in the episode by Leo after being hurt by Shax, but when it happens again at the end, Leo is in the Underworld and can not sense what has happened to get to them in time.
Where can I find photos of Phoebe and Cole?
Check out our extensive gallery of screencaps. Try Seasons 3, 4 and 5!
:: Did Paige ever meet Prue?
No, never, which is a shame! The lack of Shannen Doherty (who played Prue) probably contributed towards this!
:: Why could the Charmed Ones Astral Project in season 7 when that was one of Prue's powers? Why could they use magic in their astral forms when Prue couldn't?
Hmm, tricky one. It could be conisdered a plot hole, but we'll just have to go along with what they say... they learnt it from Leo! I suppose a reason for them being able to use magic in astral form is because magic has advanced since Prue used it!
:: What season does Prue die in?
She dies in Season 3, episode 22 - 'All Hell Breaks Loose'
:: Did Billie ever make her own Book Of Shadows?
She didn't, but the sister's allowed her to add to their Book Of Shadows, I believe.
:: In what episode of what season does Chris (from the future) die?
He dies, sadly, in episode 6.23 - 'It's a Bad, Bad, Bad World - Part 2'.
:: Did Shannen Doherty really do all her fighting stunts?
I believe she did most of them - quite the action woman, isn't she!
:: Has a Charmed movie ever or will ever be considered?
Not as far as I know! Although Charmed was, and still is, loved by many, I don't think it's popular enough to carry a successful movie. I doubt a TV movie will be considered because 8 seasons is enough, but it would be great!
:: What are the names of Phoebe and Coop's Daughters?
Phoebe and Coop have two daughers but we never find out their names!
:: In the one before the last episode of season 4, Piper said that she couldn't get pregnant. So how come that in the last episode she becomes pregnant?
In the next to last episode of the season, the doctor said it would be difficult for Piper to concieve, not impossible, so it seems she got lucky! It was also her and Leo's destiny to have a child.
:: How did Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Prue get there names?
Prue got her name from her ancestry - Prudence Warren, the daughter of the first powerful witch in the Halliwell line, Melinda Warren. Wanting to keep with the theme of P's, also like Penelope (Grams) and Patty; Piper, Phoebe and Paige seemed like the perfect names!
:: Why was there never an episode made to show Prue's death? It seems to skip from a cliff hanger to the funeral episode - very confusing!
The cliffhanger was put there deliberately so more people would tune into watch season 4 to see if Prue or Piper died after they were attacked by Shax. It just leaves viewers wanting more - good tactic!
:: I was just wondering, in the episode "Freaky Phoebe" (Season 7) after Phoebes soul has been swapped, how is it that Phoebe is still able to touch the book of shadows despite the soul occupying her body being evil? Also, wouldn't Paige sense the fact that it wasn't Phoebe?
Well, we could say that Phoebe's body still had some good inside of her, or we could say that it's something that the writer's got wrong. Take your pick! Also, the sister's have never been good at noticing when each other are possessed - seems to be one of their weaknesses!
:: Why didn't Cole and Prue appear in the series 8 finale?
Julian McMahon (Cole) wasn't invited back because Brad Kern had to beg him to come back for the 150th episode and didn't feel it was right to do it again. Shannen Doherty (Prue) was asked, but she wasn't interested.
:: In most of the seasons of Charmed, Phoebe has short hair, so why does she have long hair when we see her in the future?
.... Hair grows over time....
:: What happened to Darryl?
There were budget cuts in Season 8, so to make way for more guests to star in Charmed, his character was cut. However, he is mentioned in one episode to have been transferred to the East Coast.
:: At the end of 'All Hell Breaks Loose' wasn't Phoebe supposed to stay bound to the Underworld?
Yes, however, this was only if the Source would allow Cole to warn the Sisters about Shax attack after time was reset. The Source didn't keep his promise, so Phoebe was allowed to return.
:: How many years were Patty and Victor married, and which years?
It has never been specified what years they were married, but their marriage only lasted approx. 6 years after Patty had an affiar with her whitelighter, Sam.
:: What episode did Andy Trudeau die in and how did he die?
Andy was killed with a firebolt thrown by Rodriguez in episode 1.22 - Deja Vu All Over Again.
:: Will there be a season 9 of Charmed?
No. Season 8 was definitely the last season!
:: At the end of the last episode, was it meant to show that all of the episodes were a story being told by Piper to her granddaughter?
No. The older Piper was just reading the message that her and her sisters had left, in the Book of Shadows, about their lives as witches.
:: Did Leo ever cheat on Piper?
No, I don't think it is in Leo's character to do that!
:: In the season finale, do the sisters have a final scene all together?
Yes, when they are writing their messages in the Book of Shadows. Watch the episode to see!
:: Will Piper and Leo get back together? And will we see adult Chris again?
Piper and Leo reconcile at the end of episode 8.21 - 'Kill Billie: Vol 2'. We see adult Chris and Wyatt in the last ever episode, 'Forever Charmed'
:: How come the Triad only took Christy and not Billie when they were younger?
They kidnapped Christy and brainwashed her into thinking the Charmed ones were bad, and they then wanted her to convince Billie - I guess that was just their plan!
:: Do their kids grow up to become the infamous Charmed ones like their Mothers?
Well, they probably wouldn't be called 'Charmed Ones' - but they must be a powerful force as there are 8 of them!
:: In the season 8 finale, who is the little girl Piper hands lunch to? I thought Wyatt and Chris were her only children as it's their pictures on the wall...?
It is her daughter Melinda. Her picture wouldn't have been on the wall as we haven't seen an adult version of Melinda!
:: Who does Prue marry?
Nobody! She dies at the end of season 3 without a husband.
:: When the old Piper and Leo walked up the stairs in the finale, why do we not see Prue's photo?
If her photo was used in that episode they would have had to pay her a full episode fee, meaning they would not have been able to afford another actor or actress!
:: Is there anyway to visit the charmed set or will they have got rid of it now?
Most of the Charmed set was torn down after filming they filmed the last episode! The house used for the exterior of the manor will still be there though.
:: Will there be a complete DVD set including all seasons and when?
Yes, there is! Go HERE for details!
:: Does Billie become a Charmed one ?
No, she's just mentored by them. there's no room for another Charmed one!
:: In the opening credits of Charmed, why did Holly Marie Combs get "As Piper" but her name when nobody else had their character shown?
When Shannen Doherty was in the show, she was seen as the star of the show so was first. When she left, Holly's 'people' wanted something extra for her as a compromise for being credited 3rd, so this was done - apparently.
:: How old are the characters in the show?
Prue was born in 1972 and was 29 when she died in 2001. Piper was born in 1973 so in season 8 she was 33. Phoebe was born in 1975, so she was 31 in season 8, and Paige was born in 1979, so she was 29 in season 8.
:: What are the names of all Phoebe's boyfriend's?
The most significant ones were Cole (seasons 3-5), Jason (seasons 5-6), Lesley (season 7), Drake (love interest, not boyfriend - season 7), Dex (season 8) and Coop (season 8).
:: Where is Charmed Set?
San Francisco. However, the house used for the exterior shots of the Manor is located at 1329 Carroll Ave. in the Echo Park Section of Los Angeles. Also, at the start of season 7, the Charmed set moved from its previously smaller Canoga Park, California studio to the more grand scale Paramount Studios.
:: Will Phoebe ever receive her empath power back? Seems like it will be needed for the last battle!
Nope, I'm afraid not - for unknown reasons...
:: Will Charmed magazine still run now that Charmed has come to an end?
Yes! In issue #11, the editor, Kate, left a note saying "It'll be around for a good while yet!"
:: Is there going to be a Spin off for the Charmed Sons?
There is an online petition group for a Charmed Sons spin off which is backed by Wes Ramsey (who plays older Wyatt in Charmed). So we will just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed!
:: Is Charmed still going to be aired even after sesaon 8 ends on Living TV?
Yes, there will be repeats! If anything changes I'll let you know!
:: Did Wyatt take Leo's last name to be Wyatt Wyatt or did Wyatt take the last name of Halliwell?
He took Piper's last name of Halliwell as it is a strong, powerful, well-known name and evil fears it.
:: Why was Prue suddenly able to use her hands instead of her eyes when she used her powers?
Simply because as the witches grow, mature and become more confident, their powers grow with them. So Prue's powers progressed from her being able to use her eyes to activate her telekinisis to being able to use her hands.
:: Even though Prue could use her powers from her hands, why could she still use her eyes to move things?
Because their powers progress, not change. For example, when Piper's power progressed from molecular inhibition (freezing) to molecular combustion (blowing up), she could still freeze objects.
:: In which episode does Phoebe have a premonition about seeing her unborn child in the future?
We see Phoebe pick up her daughter from daycare in episode 7.10 (Witchness Protection) when she sees a vision of Utopia through The Seer.
That scene is also revisited again in episode 8.09 (Hulkus Pocus) when Phoebe finally has a premonition after losing faith in them.
:: Who is it Phoebe will get married to in the very last episode of Charmed?
I believe it will be Coop. Although she hasn't been dating him that long, sources say that we will see the Charmed Ones future in the last episode, so they may get married then.
:: Is Charmed going to have extras on series 7 and 8?
I am afraid that season 8 will be the only Charmed DVD to include extras!
:: Why did Shannon really leave charmed? Is she coming back for the series 8 finale?
She apparently left because of arguments on set, but this is just a rumour, and no, she will definitely not be back for the season 8 finale.
:: How come Elise is Phoebe's boss and in season 1 she plays another witches aunt?
I guess after her great portryal of Aviva's Aunt Jackie in season 1, the producers thought she was a great choice to play Elise. It's one of those glitches that you have to look over.
:: Why did Piper have a boy, Wyatt, when in the future she had a girl, Melinda?
Events that occured between her glimpse into the future and the birth of her child can change the outcome.
:: Prue died out of nowhere, it was very unexpected! Why? She also had less injuries than Piper in the episode 'All Hell Breaks Loose.' This episode ends both with Piper and Prue unconscious, so why does Prue die?
Simply because Shannon wanted to leave Charmed, so they had to write her out of the show!
:: Is Paige going to stay with Henry until the season finale?
Seeing as though they both got married near the end of Season 8, all signs point to yes!
