I cannot think that the writers'ld be able to predict Holly's pregnancy
And since - as Shannen said - they never knew of the risk of arrest for Shannen during the third season, I think it's fair to assume that Sperling not had the slightest intention to brainstorming his decision
So Kern and friends had to rig up shoddily the planned seasons
I think the fan'ld accept more episodes with Phoebe Queen of Underworld and the consequent crisis of Piper
As we discussed in another thread, it's evident that the sister angry with herself that declares ready to use potions against Phoebe, had to be Prue, and not Piper, and that the sister ready to see positive signs everywhere was Piper, and not Paige who was a little more than an extraneous!

I just had a "aha!" moment. The writers really were filling in the gaps! I can see why they struggled with ideas in Season 5.

We read that most of season 4 was ready around June- Shannen's interview in which she said she was fascinate and happy for what Kern wrote about Prue's character - and someone told that Long Live the Queen was planned as season four finale
I'm wondering if it's really true that Phoebe was destined to become Queen of the Underworld
And if it was Prue?
If the love triangle had destroyed Cole and Phoebe love story?

I loved An Ling in Enter the Demon. I would of liked if they brought her back, maybe even changing the episode focused on 12 Angry Zen to fit her in somehow.
She was my favourite innocent/ally of the week from season 4.
Agreed Rose was great at it. Although I have my issues with the plot in later half, I do love Paige in Bite Me.
I wished they did stick to what they originally planned. The Cole/Source story being season 5A, when Long Live the Queen for the 100th episode. Most likely The Seer as the villain for the second half of Season 5, and in place of the Crone. Could have Phoebe and her baby being a major part of season 5, so Piper's pregnancy is moved to 6, when Holly is really pregnant. How I'd have loved this. It would of flowed so much better.
But we all know they thought they may be cancelled. Still its worth the risk.
Now here's an interesting one, they could of ended season 4 with Phoebe joining Cole to be his Queen, now that's another big cliffhanger. So the first half of season 5 is all about Evil Phoebe/Cole/baby. Okay that only leaves us with 3 additional episodes to be put somewhere earlier in the season for Paige's introduction, maybe not enough. But still just a possible idea I thought. Maybe the other one was better.
Am I the only one thinking The Importance of Being Phoebe could of been a Evil Phoebe/Cole episode with them trying to get the Nexus. It could of easily been, if you cut out the demon posing as Phoebe and have it truly being evil Queen. Yes, definitely, which would've placed the S4 cliffhanger at the end of 'We're Off to See the Wizard'. This would be a very interesting set-up for yoru 5A idea of introducing Paige, because Phoebe was kind of "miss out" on this (being too busy playing Queen Evil) and when she returns to "Good" she would find that so much as changed. The only nitpick is that maybe most fans would've want Phoebe to be Evil for half a season (until Cole's death in the 100th episode) but if it was done right, why not? Like you, I think it was worth the risk too. I understand why they crammed so much into S4, but it was too neatly wrapped up. And I LOVE your idea of having the Seer being the Big Bad for the rest of Season 5. Brilliant! Yes I think 'Importance of Being Phoebe' and 'Centennial Charmed' could've been reworked into the Rulers of the Underworld plot. As for your S5-6 suggestions, how cool! Imagine if Phobe kept her baby and then Piper found out she was pregnant at the end of Season 5? If they made Chris more dark and shady in Season 6, they could've left us guessing if he was the Phoetus or Wyatt. And then when it turns out that the Phoetus is "the Good one" and Wyatt "the Evil one" how much would that blow your mind! It would indeed have been interesting and something that hasn't been done in fanfiction is I recall. Unless it has. Definitely could of been used for those episodes for the rulers of the underworld plot, and I actually like them better. The Importance of Being Phoebe would of been a brilliant episode with evil phoebe and cole. I never thought about it with making us guess if Chris was the Phoetus or Wyatt. I never thought of that.

I quote from another user:
Hall Hath No Fury would have been written for Prue (instead of Piper) when Phoebe was taken away to be in the underworld as her anger was getting terribly out of control toward to the last half of Season 3.
Enter the Demon and Size Matters were already pre-written filler episodes or 'ideas' from Season 3 and adjusted for Paige to incorporate her into the story line. The body swapping would have been Prue and Phoebe.
Also, the original script was to have Cole cheat on Phoebe with Paige. But I wonder if this was supposed to be Prue since there was obviously some sort of chemistry between Prue and Cole in Season 3 - The G, The B and The C and Death Takes a Halliwell.
Could A Knight to Remember have been written for Phoebe? Could she have been the evil enchantress in another past life, just like Pardon My Past?
Paige From the Past - I think this was actually written for Paige BUT i think they did want it to be a family Xmas episode perhaps.
Charmed and Dangerous seemed like too good of an episode not to have been though off beforehand. It would have been easy to substitute Paige in for Prue in this episode.
I definitely think that the Arc from Charmed and Dangerous to the Finale was already conceived before Season 4 started and that Paige's mistrust and Cole's torture of her in the 5th Halliwell was meant to be for Prue.
It makes me think what the focus of Piper would have been in Season 4 if Prue would have stayed around. I wander what the writers had planned for her and Leo or was she supposed to be the 'filler' sister.
I guess without the issues of losing a sister - Piper would have been focused on working through how to make things work with Leo.
Interesting to see 'what would have been'.
