Mmm Yes very true. I think I could have tolerated it in Season 4 and then for her to have a fresh start in Season 5 where she still continues to be the mediator between an independent Paige and a more conservative Piper. I could have still seen Phoebe work at the Bay Mirror in Season 5, but it be less celebrity focused. And having her single again, focusing on the craft, recovering from guilt/depression would have been great Phoebe really needed a personality reset in season 5. I think it would be best if she quit the Mirror and focused more on witchcraft, mourning Cole and their child, and coming to terms with her role of being evil those past few months. But I also wouldn't have minded if she had stuck with the paper to an extent. I don't want her to be a celebrity at all, or even give advice. But I would have just wanted it to be some part-time job there where it wasn't about her personally, just to give her a way to make a little money and have something else to focus on. Phoebe needed a job where the focus was on others and not herself. I think she would have made a great social worker if she hadn't turned selfish. That would've been absolutely perfect - giving us a chance to get our Phoebs back. ESPECIALLY if this meant that Paige remained at SBSS! |

I miss her in earlier seasons, when she was caring and excited about witchcraft. |

I do like some of the later seasons. I don't think they're as bad as some (not all) people claim them to be. I think (for the most part) is just holding onto grudges and being angry that Prue is no longer around, or the series is no longer as "dark" as it used to be in like S1-S4 were. I didn't mind the "fluff" turn the show took in S5. What I hated was trying to antagonize Cole, in order to get there, but I digress. Some of the "fluff" episodes were really fun to watch. And, I appreciate popping in an episode without having to worry about if anybody saw the episodes prior or not because it isn't relevant. I think that's the problem I have with most shows, today is they have these overreaching arcs, that take up the whole show. I miss having more episodic type of episodes, where you can come in and watch one episode and be fine (the way S5-S8 Charmed did). That being said, I like Billie (despite being in the overwhelming minority, of that position LOL)
EDIT: To actually answer the OP's question - Andy working with Prue & Phoebe in the Power of Two episode, is one of my favorite moments. Another favorite moment of mine is Billie telling Phoebe "no, it's not OK", when Phoebe tried to stop her in trying to protect innocents. I enjoyed the moments of Phoebe & Cole back, when she was actually in love with him. I enjoy S3 Prue, as being the superwitch. I enjoyed Piper & Leo getting married. I enjoyed Paige still trying to save her innocent despite her sisters (Piper & Phoebe) being against her in Soul Survivor. Some of the moments, I can actually think of, right now, at the top of my head.
EDIT 2: My conversations after making this post had me thinking of my favorite memories regarding Charmed (and, it's positive). I just love the overall female empowerment message it represents of female leads being heroes against evil. That's something that always resonates with me, with the show, and why I re-watch it, all of the time. They inspire me.

Honestly, after being a part of different Charmed communities, I've come to the realization, that I don't view this show the same way most (not all) Charmed fans do. I don't take this show that super seriously, as in every episode must have some meaningful and well written/consistent storyline, strung together, etc. This show has always been a "comfort" show, for me, where I just watch the show, shut off my brain and enjoy watching my preferred episodes and laugh at all of the stupid & silly stuff, going on. Would it be nice to have a flow of consistency throughout all 8 seasons? Sure. I (also) find myself enjoying C-List episodes more than most. The episodes that don't really have anything to do with the main storyline but the random "hole in the wall" episodes that nobody likes to watch but me, I guess LOL Don't get me wrong, there's still some C-List episodes that I don't like, I'm just giving a generalization. As I do find myself enjoying some (not all) of the "A & B List" episodes via S1E1 "Something Wicca This Way Comes", S2E2 "Morality Bites", S4E20 "Long Live the Queen", etc. For the most part, I don't quite enjoy most (not all) the more "popular" episodes, in either fandoms (here and/or Reddit). I'm like "the odd man out" which is fine. I enjoy watching this show, for the "comfort" value <3

I don't have the ability to make gifs. So I'll just list the memories and moments. With Mother's Day on Sunday, I thought sharing these moments felt appropriate: Patty saves Prue in the pool - From Fear to Eternity Prue in the attic when Patty's voice tells her "Thanks for letting them into your heart." - From Fear to Eternity Patty and Phoebe outside Buddy's - That 70s Episode Patty, Prue, Piper and Phoebe hugging - That 70s Episode Patty talking to Piper - Just Harried Patty standing before her daughters and hugging them - Just Harried
Piper holding her baby for the first time after birth - The Day the Magic Died
Piper embraces motherhood - Y Tu Mummy Tambien
Patty writing in the the baby book - A Witches Tail Part 2
Piper smiling watching her son on stage - Desperate Housewitches
There's obviously way more moments I'm sure I missed. But I'll stop here for now since I'm getting tired.
Feel free to share other moments I'm sure I missed here if anybody feels like it. |

I don't have the ability to make gifs. I'm happy to take requests in my GIF thread. With Mother's Day on Sunday, I thought sharing these moments felt appropriate What a wonderful idea! Feel free to share other moments I'm sure I missed here if anybody feels like it. I'd love to! For now (like you), I'll just list the memories and moments GIFs will be another time. Major Role MothersThroughout S1 only, Patty looking over her daughters, in S1 via the spirit board, "flipping the pages" of the BOS, protecting Prue from Barbas, in S1E13 "From Fear to Eternity", etc. I do NOT believe, for a moment, that it was Grams "flipping the pages of the book", like Kern retconned in S2E1 "Witch Trial". S1E13 "From Fear to Eternity" was BEFORE S2E1 "Witch Trial" and pretty much CONFIRMS Patty, rather than Grams, being the culprit, but I digress. That one repetitive Phoebe premonition of her and her daughter, seen in the following episodes: S7E10 "Witchness Protection", S7E11 "Ordinary Witch" and S8E9 "Hulkus Pocus". It may annoy people, but I like it (minus the avatar bit). S2E11 "Reckless Abandon" - The Charmed Ones having a hard time taking care of baby Matthew. As a new parent, especially in the beginning, I understand the struggle. In the same episode, when they're finally used to taking care of baby Matthew, I love them bathing and clothing baby Matthew. It's very precious. I may not have a GIF of this moment, but I do have a video of it. Keep in mind, this is the REPLACED version, which I prefer, over the original, but I digress. S4E2 "Charmed Again, Pt 2" - Patty and Paige hugging/reuniting, at the end, and Patty tells Paige "welcome home". Whether or not Kern is "manipulating" the audience (let's be honest, ALL writers do this, but I digress), it's a sweet moment regardless. S5E16 "Baby's First Demon" - Piper jumping across the foyer to stop the cradle from being magically taken through the window and breaking her bone, in the process. Also, Piper: I'm the mother (explodes demon). S5E20 "Sense & Sense Ability" - Piper struggling to understand Wyatt's cries/feeling inadequate/not feeling bonded with Wyatt. I've definitely been there. S6E3 "Forget Me, Not" - The lengths Piper is willing to go to get her son back. Also, I love the brief mother and son bond shared, in this episode, that Piper trusted Wyatt to ensure nothing bad would happen to her/her noticing Wyatt being entertained by the dragon. Small little growth compared to her S5E20 "Sense & Sense Ability" counterpart, struggling to bond with/understand her child. S6E12 "Prince Charmed" - Piper waking up from her sleep, hearing her son crying from the baby monitor and instantly getting up. Very relatable to all mothers. Along with the post-intro moment of Piper admiring her son. S6E16 "The Courtship of Wyatt's Father" - After Piper finds out Chris is her son and she just looks at him. S7E3 "Cheaper by the Coven" - Piper, when she first finds out Wyatt is being attacked and practically snaps at Grams, with a quiver in her throat (and shaken to the core, as she flips through the book) and says "I need to find out who the hell is after my son". An honorable mention to Patty, who stood firm in what she commanded of the girls via "NOW!" LOL S7E18 "Little Box of Horrors" - Piper attempting to train Wyatt to use his magic more responsibly. Along with giving him permission to use his magic to levitate his toys. S8E11 "Mr. & Mrs Witch" - Piper video recording Wyatt, as he gallops around the house. Honorable mention to Billie's mother, and the conversation she had with Billie, in her dorm room regarding Christy. S8E12 "Payback's a Witch" - Piper having a conversation with Wyatt about how it's not his fault, that Leo is away. Honorable Mention to Phoebe, despite being an aunt, at this time, conversing with Wyatt, too (with the teddy bear). S8E19 "The Jung & the Restless" - Phoebe interacting with her "daughter", in this dream state. Minor Role MothersS1E4 "Dead Man Dating" - Mark's mother, before Mark's dies, just wishing Mark a "happy birthday" and wanting to give him an amulet, for protection. Also, according to Mark, this may be "off-screen", but Mark "talking" to his mother (at his funeral) about all the "stories" she told him, preparing him, on what he needed to do, to save himself. Without her lessons, Mark wouldn't have known what he knew, and it's all because of his loving mother, and the way she impacted him. S1E14 "Secrets & Guys" - While Prue was never a mom and is a major role character, I decided to put her time with Max, in this category. My favorite parts are the following: a) when she first meets him, gets knocked out, wakes up, ignores the bad guys and is just focused on Max, b) begging to be wired instead of Max, c) encouraging Max to "hurry along", so they can "hurry back" to Max's father and d) encouraging Max to disarm the explosives by silently TKing his coat to open wider. S3E12 "Wrestling with Demons" - Tom's mother forgiving Tom for EVERYTHING (including trying to kill her). Tom's mother deserves a better son LOL S4E10 "A Paige from the Past" - The ONLY episode with Paige's adoptive mother, so any interaction, really. OFC, I like the hugging bits. S4E13 "Charmed & Dangerous" - Caroline doing everything she needs to do, to get her son back. S7E8 "Charmed Noir" - Eddie & Danny's mother NEVER believing that Eddie killed Danny along with still hoping Eddie will return home. S8E17 "Generation Hex" - Billie & Christy's mother finally reuniting (as a "complete" family), before their mother gets killed. All I got, for now. |

I saw in a post that on the HOH re-watch gram that The Finale ended 17 years ago.
I can't believe how much time has passed since then.
Social media was barely a thing back then and 25 years ago, Charmed was only accessible by TV, magazine and early online forums.
This show meant so much to me. It almost now exists in a completely different time and place (and space! lol).

It's more crazy because if Charmed was around or cane back today Wyatt would be 20 years old now and Chris 19. So both are out of high school. |

Drew Fuller could possibly do a come back to save the show from Wyatt/Kern turning evil? It will be interesting to see what happens with Charmed next. I feel like it has resurfaced again. |

Lots to work with.
I can see Drew Fuller coming back (perhaps an even older Chris from a far future or have him play the grandchild from the 2050s or 2060s. I don't think he can pull off playing early 20s like S6. He's 43 now. Although he could just dye the grey in his hair and make-up he could pull off early 30s easily.)
The cast all seem pleasant with the cons this year. And to my shock when asked if all four would ever be able to be in the same room together. Although they joked they could CGI one of them in. Rose was the only one who spoke and took the mic and said anything is possible with magic. I don't know if she's just being nice or if she's seriously willing to work with Alyssa.

I feel like Ben Feldman from Superstore was born in 1980 like Drew, playing someone born in 1988. They look a like. BUt it would be a stretch for Drew. If it was set in the 2030's, like 7-10 years from now, he could play mid 30s having a teenage daughter. with Bianca that he didn't know about. I kind of prefer Wyatt not having any children, at least not yet anyway. So he becomes the bad-witch-uncle. Then there is a new actress playing Drew's sister - Prudence Melinda. Holly Marie Combs and Brian Krause are regulars. Alyssa drops in from time to time. Rose and Shannen direct and produce. What would Chris's daughters(s) name be? I feel like that would be the central relationship, and did Drew's wife/partner separate or die or was she a doner (as Chris is probably gay by now) - hahaha - I love how I am developing his character. |

I like how S4 Phoebe's premonitions begins and ends with needing to rescuing Paige. Really shows their bond 💕
S4E1 "Charmed Again, Pt 1" - Phoebe gets a premonition about Paige being attacked by Shax.
S4E21 "Womb Raider" - Last premonition Phoebe gets, for this season, and Phoebe sees the Seer killing Paige, in the locked cage.

I'll come back with a list of some great memories (as I could've sworn I already did, but I don't see it!) but for now, this is an honorable mention  I just love moments like these LOL S8E15 "The Last Temptation of Christy" |

I just love moments like these LOL
