Prue and Zankou? I like the idea!
I don't think of Andy and Piper as a couple,I think they are two people who want the same things form the life:to help people but also to come back to a peaceful home, to play with their children, to live with a beloved partner
Andy, Piper, Leo, are people with a clear idea of the life they wish, a life in which to save the innocent is an important part, but only a part
The funny thing, Esmeralda, is that Piper wished a life with the monster of the week, better the monster of the month: she doesn't be a demon hunter, but a good witch with the time to be a good mom, a good wife, a good chef, a good friend, the same life mentioned by Andy

I was always under the impression that Ted wanted more airtime, he wanted the same as the girls and since he didn't get that he wanted to leave or something like that.

I don't mind the idea of Leo being a magical character who is also a romantic interest for Piper. But I never saw the need for whitelighters. And what's wrong with the idea of the sisters learning how to create a teleportation spell or potion? At least this would give them the chance to expand their knowledge of magic.

This still doesn't make sense to me. The Halliwells can be front and center whether their love interests are magical or not. It's all up to the writers. Why put the writing for this show in a straight jacket?

I thought Ted King wanted more money and screen time?

I'ld prefer for all the sisters, normal men
I love Piper and Leo and I love their sons but I can't like at all the idea of excess magical beings on a show, if they all have powers, it gets boring

interesting because I remember hearing that T.W. King wanted more of a starring role rather than supporting and that's why he left or was let go.

I think he did Timecop the tv series after he left Charmed correct? Unless I'm mistaken that is. I thought I saw T.W King on it a couple of times actually.

His last episode on TimeCop was in July 1998. " Dejavu all Over Again" was in May 1999. He was in 1 episode of JAG in 2000 and in single episodes on a number of shows over the upcoming years. I do remember seeing him on a commercial and on a Daytime Soap (I believe "One Life to Live") |

Ah right I thought he might've done Timecop after Charmed actually but I wasn't sure if that was true then.
I know Ted appeared in General Hospital some years later obviously.

What's wrong with them receiving help or information from others? They were not experienced magic practitioners. And even if they were, they would still need help or information from others. No one is invincible.

That just doesn't seem to ring true, to be honest. You don't usually create an important supporting character like Andy without having some kind of idea what to do with him in subsequent seasons. And I have to agree with other posters that according to her own logic, Darryl and Leo should've been dropped as well. I believe the rumours of the actor wanting more screentime are true. And Andy not sharing a romantic plotline with Prue in the second season may actually have led to less screentime for him.

No one is invincible. It just makes it too easy. For me, the appeal of the first season was that the sisters felt like real women who had to figure out the magical world on their own. Now, there's nothing wrong with them going out to find a particular person to help them out in a specific episode, but falling back on Leo every episode just felt lazy and boring. |

Now, there's nothing wrong with them going out to find a particular person to help them out in a specific episode, but falling back on Leo every episode just felt lazy and boring. I'm with you 100%. The fun of S1, was how well they worked on their own. Phoebe always looking in the book for answers and I loved how well she spoke telling her sisters what she found, and or doing her own research on her laptop or going out into town to read books. How boring was it, when Leo was the one telling them what they needed to know, or the books at Magic School. It also made Phoebe getting a premonition less and less important, when she didn't need to use that to help them figure out their innocents or demons. The Book of Shadows was made useless later on, and that should have been its own character and always important. I'm fine with them not finding all the answers in the book, and using other means. But when Leo just tells them every episode, that just got so boring. I found it more exciting when they researched, because Phoebe was just so passionate and a good researcher and I had fun finding out the answers through the sisters NOT Leo when they figured it out. Leo being a walking demon encyclopedia knowing all the answers, just killed the fun out of so many episodes. If Leo didn't have all the answers, it just would have made the show more sisterly-centric and exciting for me, if they had to figure it out, so we the viewers can find out the same time they do. That's just as bad, as Leo being able to orb the whole family and be a magical taxi driver and if they stuck to when he could only orb one person and they had side effects with the orbing from one location to another like in S2. It kills the suspense all the time, as we know they'll all be orbed to safety. I wished they put more limits on Leo's powers and what he knows to make the show a little more exciting and less predictable. The first season benefited so much from having less Leo. |

I'm not sure it even makes sense for Leo to know so much. Originally, he was just supposed to watch over newbie witches (and protect future whitelighters?) and he operated in a more subtle way. I did want to see Piper and Leo get together, but the focus of the character should've been more on his non-magical aspects. Maybe he should've turned mortal after season 2. |

Don't I wish he was like that just for new witches, and gone after S1. Again, don't I wish he had clipped his wings and turned mortal after S2, so Piper could have the normal life she always wanted, and also given Leo his own identity in the process. It would certainly be better. Especially if say Leo became a doctor and opened up his own clinic or worked at a hospital, or something. Him being able to heal their wounds fighting demons without healing powers, but doing it the natural way would be more fun. |

I'm wondering how Leo would be able to become a doctor and open a clinic when he's supposed to be dead. But it would be a interesting angle to pursue to see Leo trying to build up his life again as a mortal. |

Ah yeah, if we go back to the very beginning of season 2, I can see a scenario where the Elders are willing to reward Leo with a new mortal identity. And I can definitely see him work in one of those free clinics. It could even be a place for him to come in contact with innocents who need help from the Charmed Ones. I think a lot of us can agree that we'd prefer Leo as a mortal! |
