I wonder though had that happened and Kern was still show runner season 4 time would Prue's character have gone downhill instead of Phoebe's then or as others have said already we would've gotten one more good year of Charmed at least. Well, I know a certain other poster here has said that Prue was starting to turn into an angry b!tch similar to later season Piper before she died, but on the other hand, I can't see Shannen wanting to stick around past Season 4 or 5, at the latest. |

That might be why Shannen got fired. She didn't like the direction her character was going in and told Kern as much. Kern's 1950's mindset was sure not going to tolerate a woman telling him to run his show, so Shannen had to go.

Kern's 1950's mindset was sure not going to tolerate a woman telling him to run his show, so Shannen had to go. Thats probably what happened. The push to fire her, could of also came about but how invested she was in directing the final, she admitted at conventions that directing the final she used alot of equipment that she knows isn't commonly done, and stuff. So maybe the crew were annoyed at her by this. Since the decision to fire her was after it was filmed, I'm assuming in May, when writers have whats called a pre-season meeting to discuss the next seasons stories. I cant imagine leaving a season wrapped from filming, and then being called while your on off-season that your services will no longer be needed for next season. How the crew and cast came back to filming the next season when one member is gone, without notice, I'd have been mad like Holly. Thats not how you do things. Even if they wanted Shannen to go, they could of come to a decision, and Shannen return for Charmed Again to film her exit, while passing the torch to Rose, also giving her some input in how she would like to be exited. But no, Kern did the wrong thing, and lost Shannen's respect to ever want to return to the show again. |

Yeah, that's how it should have been done. However, Kern waited until Shannen was thousands of miles away, before officially firing her. What a gutless coward, that man is.

If I had to be one hundred percent honest, I would have to say Piper, even though she became the strongest. It's just that Prue, Phoebe and Paige would of made a better trio, in my honest evaluation.
Paige was supposed to be half-whitelighter and Leo states that makes her half pacifist, so wouldn't freezing time be more reasonable?
Prue would of stopped Phoebe's wedding by not giving her blessing and the whole Cole/Phoebe storyline wouldn't have been so dragged out. I believe if Prue was teaching Paige magic it will be field practice allowing Paige to learn her new ability of freezing time. Prue and Phoebe worked greatly and we wouldn't have to sit through Piper's complaining about wanting a normal life. This would of worked perfectly. Prue could of made Paige a better witch than she was.
Could you imagine; Phoebe gets a vision, Prue goes to the book and questions Phoebe on what exactly she saw, Phoebe and Paige write a vanquishing spell, Paige grabs Prue and Phoebe's hand and orbs, reach their destination, Paige freezes time, and then all three of them say the spell. Ends with them orbing home?

But as Piper is my favorite, I wouldn't have watched it. |

Ends with them orbing home? I was just making a point in one of the your views before and now thread dears on how much Phoebe and Prue's relationship in season 1 was great. That I actually *do* find a combo of Prue, Phoebe and Paige very interesting. I must admit dear that if it *were* say Holly who left and Rose replaced her that the Cole/Phoebe story *could* have still happened immediately with Phoebe staying in the underworld and Piper not being healed and dies. Then you could have the Prue vs. Phoebe story. What's more is that it would appear that Piper's time was always suppose to be up and that reversing time didn't matter. Piper died in the hospital (in an amazing performance by Shannen and Holly) and she would die when Leo couldn't heal her. I actually would of *loved* if they found a way out of the exposure and we *could* have Piper dying this way shot by a human and having her last moments play out like they did before time was reset. Oh would this girl have loved that. Actually Leo would still stay on as their whitelighter but what if they wrote him out for good after season 5. With no Piper - no reason he *needs* to return if they kept him as an elder. I do think the combo of Prue, Piper and Paige is very interesting dears. Prue and Phoebe loosing Piper actually has the most interesting story potential. Especially because I found Prue and Phoebe had the most interesting relationship. Even if this girl found Prue and Piper's relationship the best. I just felt that Prue and Phoebe's conflicts made the show more fun to watch. BriannaWarren good idea and I like it.  I voted no Paige and keep the original power of three together. That is what this girl most prefers. Especially if our show ends after four good seasons. Even if I do see the appeal of the combo with Piper dead - I would read a story like that for sure. The show this girl would always wish and want is the original power of three for the whole series. |

I would find that interesting as well, Piper could be a restaurant owner and she would be able to have a normal life. These are some ideas that I am playing with in my mind. |

Oh I am so with you on Piper should of married Dan and been a restaurant owner and not P3. Which is what I *wished* happened after season 1 if Leo had stayed gone. Piper would of been a character this girl would of loved. I am curious how a story like this would of played out if Piper died and Leo did remain. If Piper did die - it would play up the idea that Death was always after her. That no matter if time reset - it was her time. Much like she almost died in Awakened. Perhaps dear we *could* of just jumped straight to a timeline like in Centennial Charmed - Prue (the Piper of the original episode) and Leo is helping her hunt for Piper's killer Shax. Phoebe accepted the deal to stay in the underworld with Cole. Now how to bring Paige into this - I am not sure. Perhaps the storyline would not introduce Paige just yet. But Centennial Charmed makes the perfect starting point story for season 4 if Prue or Piper died. I don't know why they didn't just stick it out with Phoebe accepting the deal she made at the end of season 3 *dears* even if she lost Prue. Having Piper and Leo trying to repair the mess and get Phoebe back. But we all know our writers had to have the power of three back in action as quickly as possible and move on from Prue as soon as possible. |

Just keep the originals (Prue/Piper/Phoebe) and never give us Paige.
But so many of you have made me see the appeal of it being Piper dying. Prue and Phoebe being forced to work out all the issues they had without Piper around. Now that is a darker series I would watch. Would Leo even have remained, or really became an elder more easily without Piper alive, and we been left with Chris killing Leo. Now would Chris have become Prue's future son or even Paige.

Keep the original power of three. But if any sister has to die, Well I vote Piper in a heartbeat.

I voted Paige. I like Rose, and enjoyed seeing her on the show, but I do wish the original three had stayed intact. I think it was so much better that way!

Paige, just keep what worked with Prue, Piper and Phoebe. I honestly would not take a gamble and change anything with the power of three dynamic. Because, we lost Prue, but at what cost to Piper and Phoebe's characters.

I'd say Paige to because when we lost Prue we lost Piper and Phoebe otherwise Phoebe if not Paige then.

If I were in charge, I would have killed off Phoebe -- maybe even been a little adventurous and started S4 off in the Morality Bites universe. A Prue-Phoebe-Paige Po3 would have been an interesting watch, though.

I voted to still kill off Prue, imagine Kern trying to write for her during seasons 6-8, he woud have destroyed her like he did Piper and Phoebe, no, better she die earlier to keep her character intact.
