If you notice that quite a few episode stills are missing from the gallery in the next few days, fear not - I'm just replacing low-quality watermarked images for extremely high quality, non-water marked, larger images. After that I will then add photoshoots of all your favourite Charmed stars!
I have also added another general season 8 spoiler, which suggests that there might be a spin off series about Kaley Cuoco's new witch. Hhmmm...

More pictures! I have added just under 200 cast pictures, from film premiere to award show photos. Be sure to check it out!
I have also added another caption game entry and I have done the M page of The Book Of Shadows, and updated pages D,E & G. Once I have completed The Book Of Shadows, I will create the option to browse demons by episode and alphabet to make it easier. I am also trying to make it as detailed as possible, which is why it is taking a while.
I have also been recieving many entries for the fan of the month contest, which is fantastic, but absolutely no entries for the fanart challenge. I'm gonna close it next month - unless there is a sudden turn around! *hint-hint*

11th August 2005 // New Layout!
3 new season 8 episode title have been released! They are, in order: Desperate Housewitch, Rewitched & Kill Billie: Volume 1. All sound very intruiging!
Also, sadly, it turns out that Dorian Gregory (Darryl Morris) has been cut from the show completely and Brian Krause' (Leo Wyatt) appearances have been cut, due to a lower budget. It's a shame.

So yes! New layout! I've made it to look a bit less cluttered, although the color scheme and style is basically the same, but I like it, so it will stay for the time being! Don't forget to tell me what you think! And I am still fixing a few pages to look good with the new layout, so bare with me :)

A new layout is coming your way soon, it's basically the same style, but slightly different. You'll see what I mean by the end of this week, max. In the meantime, Ive put a new layout up at the guestbook. Be sure to sign it!!
