I disagree without the Piper the show wouldn't survive, because there would be no more Leo and Piper. There would be no twiced blessed child. Or Chris for that matter. Also the power thing wouldn't work because Paige would still have to be half whitlighter because they met Sam before Prue died. The show would probably just focus on one of the other sister's love interest or couple. And another sister could have a twice blessed child, and Chris could have been another sister's child (although I really don't care about Chris). And Paige could still be a half whitelighter.

If Paige was half whitelighter then how would she be able to freeze time? Also they already started focusing on Piper and Leos love life in seasons 1-3. Also Chris was Leo's sun, Chris had to come back for Leo to be a elder, which was an important part of the show.

Also Chris was Leo's sun, Chris had to come back for Leo to be a elder, which was an important part of the show. Hey, I love Piper, too. However, all the original sisters were important to the show. If Piper had of left, then the show would have focused on the other sisters and their lives. Leo would just be the remaining sisters' good friend and whitelighter instead of a love interest. Also, Leo becoming an elder with Chris as his son was the storyline with Piper being on the show, but if Piper was not on the show the writers would have come up with another story idea that would have been important to the show as well, just like they had to come up with the story idea of a new sister (Paige) instead of the three sisters we already knew (Piper, Prue, and Phoebe). The writers would have come up with something, the same way they came up with something when Prue left. As long as two of the original Charmed Ones remain, the show could survive, just like it did with Prue. Of course, when Prue left, many fans stopped watching the show. The show would lose fans if Prue, Piper, or Phoebe left. It just wouldn't be the same, just like it wasn't the same without Prue, but it could still survive as long as two sisters remained. It just wouldn't have the same chemistry as the original sisters.

Yeah but I am saying no one would have had the power to freeze time so it wouldn't work. The power of three wouldn't be right because the powers are, telekinsis, freezing time, and preminitions and since Paige is half whiteligher she wouldnt be able to freeze time.

Paige is half whitelighter and she received Prue's telekinesis power. Therefore, if Piper died, Paige would receive Piper's freezing powers. The writers of the show would give the dead/deceased sister's powers to the new half whitelighter sister (Paige). It's up to the writers of the show. They would definitely come up with something.

It's not entirely true that Paige has Prue's power of telekinesis. Paige has a sort of telekinetic power, but it works much more different than Prue's. Paige tabs into her Whitelighter power, when ever she wants to move things. She literally orb the things from one place to another. Some people has figured out that this power should be called Telekinetic Orbing instead.

Well, it's similar to Prue's power, but my point was that if Piper died instead of Prue, the writers would come up with a way with Paige having Piper's powers as well. That's all I'm saying. The writers would write the new sister to make up for which ever sister that died, be it Piper, Prue or Phoebe.

They could had come up with a sort of way where Paige could tab into her Whitelighter side and make a orbital copy of herself, another version of astral projection.

I don't think that is a good reason why Piper is not expendable; and either Prue and Phoebe were.

The show couldve totally gone on with Piper. In fact it would probably be the most interesting dynamic to go with when it comes to killing one of the sisters. I see Piper as the one who held the family together and keep tension between Prue and Phoebe down. Take her out and Prue and Phoebe would probably go at each others throats a lot more and less incline to talk things through.
Piper just happens to have the most links in the show and she became the central charecter out of all the sisters.

I see what you are saying but Paige can't tap into her whitelighter powers to see the future or to freeze time. As for the Piper and Leo thing, that is a very good reason for why Piper needed to stay. Most of the charmed fans love Piper and Leo without them charmed just wouldn't be charmed. It might have worked if Phoebe left but not Piper. Also as for if it worked without Prue I don't really know because there are many ways to look at that. 1. Is Paige would never replace Prue. 2. The show lost a lot of vewiers when Prue left.

Well they might not have gone with Pipers powers if she had died considering that originally they were going to give Paige a brand new power like invisibility. But ofcourse then they thankfully remembered the whole prophecy thing and powers thing that make up the Charmed Ones.

Hmm, invisibility as a power, would have made it look to much like a super heroes show. People would immediately say that Charmed had turned into "The Fantastic Three". Piper: Mrs. Fantastic Phoebe: Premo Girl Paige: Invisible Girl
What would be next, them going to Metropolis and help Superman fight a magical creature from outer space that escaped from The Power Rangers ?

The writers have the power, afterall, to write things that would be convenient to them. True the fans love Piper and Leo, but many fans loved Prue and the original Charmed ones as well. So, if Piper died, the show would just shift to another sister’s romantic pairing, or maybe none of the sisters would have a longterm love interest, but it doesn’t mean the show wouldn’t survive without Piper. Of course, there are fans that wouldn’t consider the show as good. But then again, there are fans who don’t consider the show as good without Prue (myself included). And I agree that the show lost a lot of viewers when Prue left. I certainly lost interest after Prue left.

Um how is adding invisibility any different then having the 3 original powers? Its just as much super hero the first time around as it would be with the second time around. And the Fanastic Four had the abilities of: Elasticity (sp) Invisibility/Force Fields/Telekinesis Flight/Fire Streangth Compared to: Telekinesis Molecular Stasis Premintions

I realize that Piper had used Dan Gordon as rebound to get over break up from Leo around late S1/early S2. But I found it interesting that she was jealous of the date Dan was having with some woman at the restaurant she and Leo were at.

I always thought that she was upset because he wasn't sitting home pining away for her. She had told Prue she was upset seeing him come home alone again. Just before her date with Leo.
