I really am sad that we never got many episodes once Andy knew the secret. I wished he found out much earlier and we got more time. But I would of been more happy had he not died and stayed on. Even if Prue still died, Andy still has a purpose with his job (like Darryl) and his connection to the sisters still, as a childhood friend. However even then, he would most likely still leave in a similar way to Darryl. Am I right? I think they could have kept him on the show for another year at least. I believe he was the love of Prue's life and I would have liked to see more of that unfold. Very true ShadowCat. Even though I am a fan of Piper/Leo - I did enjoy what Andy brought to the table. |

ShadowCat, your point about too much of a good thing is very true. When I first watched the show, I just wanted more and more magic. It's funny now because I watch the show again, and I want less and less. In my dream version of Charmed, Andy survives and both he and Daryl know the girls' secret and help them out. That creates a better balance because we see the sisters fighting evil magic and the cops fighting evil mortals. And as skilled as both sets are at what they do, the sisters aren't detectives and the men aren't witches. They need each other and can benefit from working together. You and I are in the same boat. Though I didn't see it in the beginning, after a while all that magic was like a sugar rush and you start bouncing off the walls. Having magical sisters working with mortal police detectives creates a good blend of both worlds. I think it would have also opened more doors for the girls to bring to justice some nasty human criminals. It's not as if they are in short supply. Another show that pulled this off was "Forever Knight", which was on from 92-96. There we had a vampire cop working with mortals in the police department and a doctor in the coroner's office, who knew who he was. Here is a crazy long shot. Andy survives the attack at the end of season 1. In the opener of season 2 they get married, and at the close of it Prue has a daughter. Andy looses his life in season 3's final. (Since I believe it was said some place that Shannen still had another year on her contract, and as Es pointed out you could never tell from the shows that SD and AM were at odds with each other, let her finish off her written obligation and depart at the end of season 4.) If that will be the case they can find a way for her to exit on a better note. During this time period Prue is composing a junior Book of Shadows for her child, realizing that anyone one of them could come to an early end, and so she does at the close of that year. When season 5 opens we have moved into the future about 5 years. This would make Prue's daughter around 7. She has received her mothers powers but was being trained all this time and not allowed to use than until this birthday. With Prue gone all this time they are for the most part off the radar. still helping innocents but not dealing with the major big bads of the underworld. This does not mean they are not studying them and taking notes. Since I have to call Prue's child something I'll name her Peyton. Now at 7 she is too young to fight battles, but with all the training she has had she is better prepared at this age than the girls ever were. She does understand who she is and takes it very seriously. She lives at the manor and Grams and Patty look after her when her aunts are busy. When she comes into her powers she also has a visit from her late father. He shows up every now and then to advise and councill. He tells her about her mother and explains that she is now a white-lighter but she cannot come here until her 21 birthday. He doesn't tell her way. With the girls off the radar they have been generally safe the past five years, and doing the best they can not being The Charmed Ones any more. They except this as they alone know that it will not always be the case. Peyton is now able to work with them on certain levels. She like her mother can astral project, so when they need the power of three she can get there and when the spell is finished she just vanishes. With the viewers knowning that at some point the power of three will become full blown again, I think it would keep them tuning in. With this set up a half sister would never be needed, and bringing white-lighter powers to the girls would never have happened. I didn't much cared for the elders, but I think they got it right when they were opposed to witches getting together with that supernatural sector. Yes, I know everyone loved Piper/Leo and at times Phoebe/Cole ..... but relationships are hard enough to manage in the world we live in. With all the girls had on their plate, adding this to it would have killed me sooner. Sorry, SC, I can't say I like this idea. It's just replacing Wyatt with Peyton without Peyton being twice-blessed, but still letting the show ending up being all about one of their kids and not about the sisters. Particularly if Peyton helped them become Charmed, that's as bad as Kern thinking that Penny, Patty and Piper could cast a Power of Three spell. Although I've never liked the idea of a half-sister becoming Charmed, I like this less. But as always, to each their own. |

If Andy had accepted Prue as a witch after some time, it would not have been Andy Andy is a man who knows what he wants, the life that intends to have I believe he'ld always love and help Prue but never he'ld build a life with her, he'ld never come back I both agree and disagree with this. Andy was a man that knew what he wanted, but since he had been keeping tabs on her, we know what he wanted. I think that after a while the girls taking out human monsters would have been just fine with him. it's the underworld I suspect would have given him cause for pause. I like to think that eventually the storyline we saw in S8 with Paige and Henry eventually would've been Prue's and Andy's, even if for me, Andy will always just be the boy next door - Prue's first love, but not her true love, the way Glen was for Paige. I would've preferred Andy finding someone else and perhaps having a child of his own, with Prue having to go through the pain of wondering what might have been, and then with Prue eventually finding happiness (not necessarily marriage...) with Bane Jessup once he got out of jail - someone who, like Henry, would've loved and accepted Prue as a witch - and a Charmed One, something I don't think Andy ever would - not when his life and Prue's are so similar and they wouldn't both be able to leave their work behind when they got home. |

Now that you mention it Es, I could totally see Prue with Bane Jessup. I think it would have been an interesting rocky balance if that makes any sense.

Particularly if Peyton helped them become Charmed, that's as bad as Kern thinking that Penny, Patty and Piper could cast a Power of Three spell. Although I've never liked the idea of a half-sister becoming Charmed, I like this less. But as always, to each their own. Upon closer inspection I have to agree with you especially about Peyton being Charmed. I can see how the triquetra can be used to form other trios, but with what Melinda said about sisters that should never be tampered with. So, after doing some homework; remember I am not in the savvy group here on the board; I put together something that might be cause for thought. First I did want to try and find a way of removing the need for a missing illegitimate half white-lighter sister, and perhaps closing out the show a few seasons earlier as it is somewhat doubtful we would see Peyton when she turns 21. I now see the show coming almost to an end after season 4 with the death of Prue, and using the last year as a look into a possible future. I welcome tweaking. I'm no longer in tune with Peyton reconstituting The Charmed Ones as it doesn't fit. I now pondering more of creating a different Power of Three that might at some point bring about another set of Charmed Ones. Throughout the series we see a number of three's coming together. Interestingly enough most of the time they are on the side of evil. The following list is what I could find. With the exception of Aunt Gail and her friends, who simply wanted to be young again, but foolish enough not to realize the damage they could cause, all of these threesomes were playing on the dark side. "Thank You For Not Morphing" A trio of Shapeshifters "The Power of Three Blondes" The Stillman Sisters, low level dump witches, who did manage to trick the BOS "How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans" Basically good witches who's desire for personal gain was their undoing.. "When Bad Warlocks Go Good" Three brothers with an evil blood line. Another example of why a half-breed could throw a monkey wrench into future plans. "Oh My Goddess!" Parts 1 and 2 "Repo Manor" An evil set of 3P's I had to look up "Repo Manor" since it's the season I pay little attention to and ran into something interesting. It said regarding Patra, Pilar and Phoenix that although they acquired the individual powers of each sister, they were never able to display the Power of Three, the bond and strength unique to the three Charmed Ones. So to me being a power of three does not necessarily mean being Charmed. That must be something unique to the Warren line of witches that only they could tap into. Peyton (might) have helped to maintain the bloodline until it could truly be Charmed Again. What might have been fun was to watch how she grew up and what her aunts focused on. They could have instructed her in the historical ways of the magical world. Since she wasn't Charmed there would be less attacks and we could see them dealing with the human element more often. So I guess I would take a pass on her becoming Charmed at 21, since you are right that doesn't really work, but perhaps we see into the future how she is the one that gives birth to the next Charmed One. |

I doubt it. Piper's aversion to the supernatural was obvious since the first season.

And I like it
It'ld be unrealistic that all three sisters embraced with enthusiasm their new life of witches
Not everyone likes the changes, or dreams adventures

I hated Prue in season 1 for not telling Andy. Andy should of found out much sooner. Completely do not like how long they took to reveal it to him. He was a childhood friend, this isn't some random boyfriend or someone they only meet in high school. Sorry to Prue fans, but she was so wrong.

I get what your saying. If Prue truly loved Andy she would've told him straight away same with Jason and Phoebe plus Piper and Dan which tells me neither women loved any of there guys completely then.

I wish they hadn't killed off Andy. I would've loved to have seen the next season with him in it. It would've been great if they had ended up getting together, with them knowing each other since they were little. Although, the idea that Esmeralda had with Prue getting with Bane Jessup is intriguing! I always liked them together, so that would have been also interesting to see, and I wouldn't have minded that either.
If Andy had lived, I would've liked to have seen Darryl and him working together to keep the secret and help the sisters. It may could have opened up more storylines, with two people on the police force knowing.

Now Prue and Bane would of made a great pairing, I rewatched that episode earlier this month and I really can see chemistry between them. Now dear, had Prue not died, maybe Bane could of been released from prison in say seaason 5 or 6 and got together with Prue in the end. |

I wish they had done that! I absolutely loved Prue and Bane's chemistry. I do wish they could have had him come back later and Shannen Doherty had not been killed off, so they could have ended up together or we could have seen more of the two of them together. (I would imagine that Andy's view on wanting a normal life would have won out and they would have eventually broken up if they did get together.) If she had not died, and Bane had come back in season 5-6, they could have had him on occasionally until the final season, where they got together and we saw him more. |

Yes, I am not so sure Andy would of ended up with Prue. Now he still could of stayed on, because he was a childhood friend of all three sisters. Maybe Andy could of gotten at least one more season and killed him off at the end of season 2. Just felt dear he deserved more than a one season arc. However Andy being paired with Piper might have been better from the begining, especially because of Piper always wanting a normal life. I just feel both of them fitted better than Andy and Prue. I know quite a few people here have felt Andy would of been better suited with Piper or Phoebe. I would of loved that too dear with Bane. |

Piper and Andy would've been interesting. Not so much Phoebe and Andy, though. I think because Phoebe always said she loved being a witch. I could definitely see Piper and Andy getting together, with Piper always stating how she wanted a normal life. Although their Grandmother always stated they weren't "normal", so I don't know if it would have worked. Maybe they could have showed a secret kiss or something between Andy and Piper when they were younger, which would lead up to them together after Andy and Prue were done. Now that the idea is in my mind, I do like it. Maybe Andy and Piper could have made their lives as normal as possible or something. |

I often wonder if him always be around them even at kids only added to him being suspicious of Prue and her sisters throughout season 1 of hiding something and it maybe not being natural. After all, he seemed to take an interest in the subject of witchcraft and knew stuff dear in the first episode. I am guessing, wondering and truly having all his doubts being made true when Prue finally told him. Was a huge hit to him. This is why I always felt Andy *should* of found out sooner. *sigh* |

I just liked Andy because he gave a human or non magical POV into the charmed world. And why a combination of Andy/Darryl just would of appealed to me so much more. As we discussed in the shoutbox, one person made a point about Andy as the viewers eyes to the show. So we lost all the balance that Andy and Darryl in season 1 brought to the table. But what destroyed it was when they made elders and whitelighters more important and took the mystery out of the show for the WORST. When Paige's Charmed Life became less important than her Whitelighter life, that is when I hated that the show was no longer Charmed to me.
I have a hunch that had Leo stayed gone, we might not have gone down the road we did had he stayed and we got more importance with whitelighters and then seeing the elders in the flesh. Paige never would of been a half whitelighter, and we never would of gotten hybrids. Piper's child would of just been a witch, with different witch powers than her mother. But had Leo gone, I wonder if she would of even had children.
I hope, I haven't upset anyone with this opinion.

This is why I always felt Andy *should* of found out sooner. *sigh* They could've brought Sheila more into the picture somehow, making her Darryl's soundboard, so to speak. I think it is why he was suspicious of them, having grown up with them. Remember one of the sisters even said something about it, in That 70's episode, when little Piper freezes little Andy so he can't follow them. "Maybe that's why Andy's so suspicious of us." Although, having typed that out, I remember their Grandmother unfreezing him and saying, "You won't remember a thing." Though we don't know if somehow, someway, he remembered, like a dream that you just can't recall, but it's right on the tip of your thoughts or something. I also wish Andy had found out sooner, too! Ruth Marie, you make a valid point! I never thought about that! Come to think of it, I enjoyed seeing more of the Charmed life, and wished some mystery had remained. Though it may have driven me nuts if I had never found out..lol..plus, one of my favorite episodes is Blinded by the Whitelighter, and that deals with witches and Whitelighters. Though I am glad Brian Krause came back, it would have been interesting to know what they would've done if he hadn't. Would Piper have had kids? What would their powers be? So much to wonder! |

No you haven't. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion which I can see where your coming from here. Yes, Ruth, please quit apologizing for stating your opinion.

I do think Andy and Darryl both knowing the secret would only add to the show. Darryl never had anybody on the show dear to talk to about all he went through, he had his wife, but they barely did much with that. I would of liked to have seen this taken further. I would of liked to have known more about Andy growing up with them. I often wonder if him always be around them even at kids only added to him being suspicious of Prue and her sisters throughout season 1 of hiding something and it maybe not being natural. After all, he seemed to take an interest in the subject of witchcraft and knew stuff dear in the first episode. I am guessing, wondering and truly having all his doubts being made true when Prue finally told him. Was a huge hit to him. This is why I always felt Andy *should* of found out sooner. *sigh* They could've brought Sheila more into the picture somehow, making her Darryl's soundboard, so to speak. I think it is why he was suspicious of them, having grown up with them. Remember one of the sisters even said something about it, in That 70's episode, when little Piper freezes little Andy so he can't follow them. "Maybe that's why Andy's so suspicious of us." Although, having typed that out, I remember their Grandmother unfreezing him and saying, "You won't remember a thing." Though we don't know if somehow, someway, he remembered, like a dream that you just can't recall, but it's right on the tip of your thoughts or something. I also wish Andy had found out sooner, too! Ruth Marie, you make a valid point! I never thought about that! Come to think of it, I enjoyed seeing more of the Charmed life, and wished some mystery had remained. Though it may have driven me nuts if I had never found out..lol..plus, one of my favorite episodes is Blinded by the Whitelighter, and that deals with witches and Whitelighters. Though I am glad Brian Krause came back, it would have been interesting to know what they would've done if he hadn't. Would Piper have had kids? What would their powers be? So much to wonder! Bringing in Sheila earlier might have been good. Yeah it wouldn't surprise me at all if Andy did feel something like that. Exactly, so many different paths the show could have taken. I actually liked Natalie in Blinded by the Whitelighter and wished Leo had stayed gone for a couple of episodes than back in the episode after. Just them being assigned a new whitelighter for 2 episodes, than giving back Leo an episode after he was taken away in Magic Hour. Kinda killed the shock of the situation for me. I can see what you mean, sometimes it would drive you crazy not knowing. But I guess if we never knew, and were left wondering. What we thought they really were and looked like, wouldn't be anything like what we ended up seeing. But yes, What ifs can be so much fun to think about. No you haven't. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion which I can see where your coming from here. Yes, Ruth, please quit apologizing for stating your opinion. Threads get very short when everyone agrees. This board works at its best when people can disagree about their opinions while still remaining on good terms with fellow members. Those who can't do that don't stick around for long. So as long as you allow others their opinions (which you do), feel absolutely safe in stating your opinion. Thank you for understanding and this place is so much fun. I don't want to suffer the same fate I did at some forums where I felt like I needed to defend everything I said and do, and so glad this place is so good. Having been online and explored different communities, each one is so different from the other., and if you have heard of fan forum, you will understand. That place is much as you said yourself where people just agree and threads can get short, or rather everyone agrees. I always felt like one who had to agree and it got so boring.
Now I can move on.  |
