I just figured out that its exactly 20 years since I became disenfranchised by Charmed, or sort of at least losing hope around mid 2003/Season 5 that the show would get out of its decline. (My opinion. I know others love the later years).
I loved the first half of Season 4 and did enjoy the Cole Source storyline just because of the drama and performances but having to deal with Prue's absence, the change in birth order, then Julian's character torn apart, Julian's departure, Phoebe and Paige becoming unrecognisable, Wyatt over Melinda and finally fairytales - which was the final nail in the coffin for me... I felt that I was really just watching out of loyalty and for Holly Marie Comb's acting and to see where the character of Piper would end up.
My faith was restored a little in Season 7 but my preferred ending would have been Prewitched in Season 3 for the Prue years OR Brain Drain/ A Paige from the Past in Season 4 - perhaps even in Charmed and Dangerous when the toast to Prue.
However, I am happy to have Long Live the Queen as the series finale, leaving the storyline open and the sisters avenging the Source and Prue's death.
But 20 years is a long time I suppose to still love a series, that ending up being mediocre in the long run for me starting in 2003

Phoebe and Paige becoming unrecognisable My Phoebe and Paige heart! ๐ญ I understand the Phoebe complaints, I used to be there, but I always felt like Paige only got better as the seasons continued.

Forever Charmed the series finale had some problems Grams looked a lot older than some of the earlier episodes when the Charmed ones were kids or when they were younger adults did anybody notice this?

Well, Alyssa was also not their first choice to play Phoebe But the actress Lori Rom quit right after the pilot due to personal reasons, so in order to get people to watch Charmed, they hired Alyssa instead to be Phoebe, obviously because of her good looks and her own fans that she could bring along to the show. Because seriously, in the beginning of Charmed she was not that good as Phoebe, that followed later as Phoebe developed into a bit more responsible adult and thus also Alyssa. This is a wild thing to say.

The amount of people (regular humans, not even demons/etc) who died in or around the manor was nuts. In reality the sisters would have been on 24/7 surveillance and probably a FBI watchlist ๐

Paige helped Leo to heal Cole and I don't think she loved him But in the scene, it's actually Leo who is using his healing powers actively and Paige is just there to boost his healing. Leo is channelling his whitelighter healing and Paige's dormant whitelighter healing, so it's not so much about if Paige wants to save Cole or not.
