How would Prue react to The Angel of Destiny?

[thecharmedones]

Let's say Prue was still alive in season 4 and they defeated The Source and the Angel of Destiny came and gave them the same proposition he gave them with Paige.

What would her reaction be? Do you think she would've had the same stance as Paige and still want to be a witch or lean towards becoming mortal like Piper & Phoebe?

And would Piper and Phoebe have the same reaction to his offer had Prue not died? I think Piper was considering becoming mortal because of Prue's death.
What do you guys think?

[Melinda Halliwell]

I think Prue would've refused the Angel's offer as would Piper and Phoebe still because she was alive but that's me of course.

I think it would be exactly the same to be honest. Other than Paige from the Past, I think Paige's character was basically just inserted for Prue's character during Season 4.

I think Paige's character was basically just inserted for Prue's character during Season 4.

That's partially true.

In the first half of the season Paige had original lines and dialogue. 

It was when the Dark Phoebe and Cole/Source storyline began, that Paige began to parrot Prue.  The reason, as I have said, is that storyline was already in development when S3 ended and was suppose to open S4.  However, when Shannen got fired, they had to push it back to the latter half of the season and devote the first half to bringing Paige in. 

Notice Paige's sudden distrust of Cole once the Source takes him over, it sounds more like what Prue would say.  Well, that's because they just took the pre-existing scripts and gave all of Prue's lines to Paige.

I always wondered, because I did know that it was in development, how the actual story line would have played out if all went to form. Would the Source's possession of Cole been more akin to Shane's? As in, he's a demon with the power of possession or would it have been more like the vapor that is the Source of All Evil leaves the red demon with wings and infests Cole instead?

Alas, we'll never know.

The ironic part is that Shannen had only one more season left on her contract.  Kern could have had his storyline play out as he originally planned it, if he could have just toughed it out with Shannen for one more year.

Just my opinion but I think Prue would have been the first one to show him the door. Considering how she felt about the protection of the innocent she would not have given up. To her that might have been like quitting. I didn't see that in her. Piper might have said a few times she hated being a witch but as Phoebe stated in the first episode, she was always there for those who needed her. Phoebe got the ball rolling from the beginning and liked being a witch, so no .... she is not jumping ship. If at this point they were the power of four ... Paige had a family she was connected with, she wasn't going anywhere.

How can he be trusted dear. Like they have been fooled before - A demon in disguise. Indeed Prue would be the first to show him the door.

But seeing this storyline play out with Prue is a very interesting topic. Especially how the original power of three handle it. Oh Prue would not be so quick to accept it.

Hello Granny Charmed. I don't know you but many missed you while you were gone, so welcome back.

I hadn't thought in the direction of not trusting him, and you are so right. He could have been anybody or anything ... so either way, he would have been dismissed and we know by who.

This has gotten me wondering if perhaps looking at the show after Prue was gone what would she have done if she was still with us. Not a re-watch but more of an addition to. (?)

I think Prue would've refused the Angel's offer as would Piper and Phoebe still because she was alive 

Prue's death is the motivation behind the fatigue of being witches in Piper and Phoebe, a strong and understandable motivation

I think they'ld say no without doubt, even Piper

Totally LOVE this idea, Shadow Cat! It could make for interesting discussions - what would've happened during certain episodes if Prue had not died - how would she have reacted - and just as important and possibly just as interesting - how would Piper and/or Phoebe react if Prue hadn't died....

Hello ShadowCat. A pleasure to meet you dear. I am so pleased that my dear Cafe missed me. It is like i never left.

You inspired me to create a new thread on Prue reacting to events in our later seasons. So thank you for that dear.

[Elle Em]

I'd love to speculate on what later seasons would be like with Prue. Sounds like fun!

As for the Angel of Destiny, Prue would probably say no way at first, but I can see her consider it throughout the episode. I think Piper, no matter what, would want out, but would be pressured by Prue and Phoebe to stay, and especially Phoebe. I think the main two reasons Phoebe wanted out in the actual show were Prue's death and the issues with Cole. If Prue lived, then that's one problem solved right there, but also the Cole storyline would be way different too. So Phoebe, I think, would still want to be a witch.

I can see Piper trying to persuade Prue throughout the episode, especially if she's still convinced at this point that she can't become pregnant. I think Prue would be on the fence until she helps save their innocent, and by that point, even Piper would agree that they shouldn't be selfish.

[Charmed by Piper]

Oh man! How do you guys come up with such amazing topics.

I can't help but wonder how Prue's presence would of changed how Piper handles the decision. I still feel the sisters would be on the fence until they save their innocent. Let's not forget that Prue being alive changes everything. Phoebe would not be so quick to take the offer and perhaps Cole's arc ends very differently and she would feel differently. Oh Man! Now I want to see this storyline play out in season 4.

[erikamarie]

If Prue was still alive, Phoebe's reaction should be different
I can't think that Prue'ld trust an Angel of Destiny.
The sisters, Prue above all, were starting to wonder how was working that presumed upper level world of good magic
Was it the Good, in other words all that is right and beautiful in a life , or simply part of a field?

[cyma]

If all the original sisters had been alive and defeated the Source, then they would've happily refused the Angel of Destiny's offer with big smiles on their faces.

Now if Prue had been alive, but suffered the loss of a sister, then I definitely see her wanting to accept Angel of Destiny's offer. When Andy died she was ready to just give up. We've already seen how she reacted to Piper's fatal shooting and finally death. Not to mention she still carries childhood trauma of seeing her mother dead, which was caused by a demon. So continuing a life like that and risk losing more family members just wouldn't sound appealing. No matter how much Paige stresses the good and everything. Prue holds herself responsible for her sisters' well-being. What could be the best way to ensure their safety then by saying yes to the Angel?

[charmedforlife28]

It seemed like Piper wanted to get out of being a witch as soon as it happened, even when Prue was still alive. If Prue suffered the loss of Andy and Piper also wanted to quit I wonder if Phoebe would have given in.

[Esmeralda]

I'm sure Phoebe would fight as hard as she could, but the way Piper eventually gave in to Phoebe and Paige, I think Phoebe would've eventually given in to Prue and Piper - but just like Piper, not happily. She'd be the one who would become the new Ms. Whinelot.

[Chrisaholic]

With all the losses the family had to endure, I'd have wondered if they had accepted the offer of the Angel of Destiny. I mean, losing their Mom, Grams, Andy and many following, I'd have accepted but here the drama plays a big role and so they only needed a 2/3 majority to not accept it. Besides, I think at this point, the sisters loved already being witches.

[charmedforlife28]

I know why the show decided to make it majority vote but lets put the show aside, I wonder why they wouldn't each have gotten the opportunity to stay a witch or become mortal instead of majority rules and what would happen to the sister/s that didnt choose to stay a witch?
