If you were put in charge of writing season 8, but you have to commit to Leo being written off after 10 episodes and you had to use Billie for all 22 episodes as requested by WB. But You are able to write whatever you want for the season? You also have enough money that you can bring back Prue for the final episode, but you wouldn't be able to use Wyatt, Chris, Grams or Patty. So all your budget money will be used on her. But if you wish to not use her - you can bring back anyone else you wan't. A photo of Prue can happen regardless if you use her or not. How would you end the final season of Charmed? Oh man, this is going to be fun to see what we all come up with.  |

Lot to think about. The interesting things in season 8 I found was Paige trying out to be a cop and the Elders wanting to raise Wyatt and Chris. So if I can do anything I want with the season and still need to add Billie:
I would have Paige trying to get back to her social worker job. She would meet Henry that way and Billie too. Since Billie needs to be in all 22 episodes, I guess the only way to not make the whole season about her instead of the Charmed Ones is to make her Henry's little sister. She would still be a college student but who is an intern at Paige's workplace.
Instead of dealing with throwing playdates and parties for neighbors, Piper would be worried about the consequences of faking deaths on their children. While there are demons and Elders wanting to raise them, there would also be normal people concerned about the welfare of children, especially if someone discovers that the identities and alias of Piper and Leo are of dead people or those wanted for murder.
As for Phoebe, I absolutely don't want her to work at Ask Phoebe again. Or meet Dex or go on the whole quest for future baby's father. I guess she could try being a counselor at college. I'll have to think more about her.
But what I do know is that if Charmed Ones really want to live a normal life without anyone knowing they're alive, the last thing Phoebe and Piper should do is return to Bay Mirror or P3.
That's all I got for now.

I'm now thinking instead of Billie being Henry's sister, somehow she could be his daughter? 0.o Or daughter he never knew about until recently. When it comes to romantic relationships, we've never had the sisters meet or mingle with the relatives of the men.
But the more I think, the more the guy the sister is falling for having a daughter is much more suited to Phoebe since in season 7 that's what she was yearning for. So what if she gets a step daughter who is a young adult and overprotective of her father? Especially if she manages to learn Phoebe's history with guys, not to mention Phoebe is a witch. I think it would be really interesting than the same old romantic plots we got.

You bring up a good point dear - We never see relatives of the men the sisters dated before. |

If we're gonna have 22 episodes with Billie then something like a daughter of Phoebe's boyfriend makes more sense.
As for main magical plot, I'm gonna go with the season 9 comics plot with Neena the First Witch. Of course due to budget, some season 9 battle scenes can't happen. But the Charmed Ones going Up There in order to fight Neena and her army of demons and darklighters, that has to happen with a few restrictions ofcourse. No flying demons or flying Leo. Instead of clouds and pillars and intense bright light, Up There sets could resemble an eerie version of a combination of already existing sets like the Manor, Magic School, a street in San Francisco, Underworld, etc. The surroundings would reflect that evil took over and that is why Up There doesn't resemble what it originally did before.
And the final episode is where the sisters finally reunite with Prue who will assist them in defeating Neena. Grams and Patty's absence can be explained away with something like without Elders help and with evil taken over, they can't leave the afterlife. The only reason Prue manages to temporarily escape is with Cole's help.

As I said in my thread, thecharmedcafe.proboards.com/thread/11905/new-charmed-seasons, when I re-write things, I enjoy keeping it as close to the original idea as I possibly can. In this case, I don't think I will, but instead, I'll stay as close to the purpose of Billie as I can. As in, it's a set up for her new spinoff, while also serving as the final season of Charmed. How do I do that? Go to the future. Billie is now the only daughter of Paige and is the reincarnation of Prue, hence her telekinesis power. The sisters all live in San Francisco still, but not all of them are in the manor. Something devastating happened, the final battle, that allowed the sisters to leave the magical world and it is made reference, but it is not until the final episode, the finale, that you see it actually happen because Billie herself went back in time and played a part in it. The plot for the season is her learning her powers after they began manifesting on her eighteenth birthday when she moved into the manor along with Paige, having been bound by a spell at a young age. She and Paige moved into the manor in order to help Piper with the death of Leo, who died due to a heart attack or some other random human malady. As in, Piper got what she wanted: a normal life. Wyatt and Chris are off in college, and you only seem them once in a while. There's probably more to it than that, but since I'm writing this off the cuff, that's what I came up with right now. I may try to go into more depth later. |

This makes a whole lot of sense, but I don't think I'd watch it, since even if it was made clear that it's Prue, I've never been that interested in the next generation - especially something that stars Rose McGowan and someone played by Kaley Cuoco (who, like Rose, is great at comedy but not at drama) For the final season, for me, it *has* to be about all three Charmed Ones, following what happened in Season Seven, which is why I like Cyma's ideas, even though I'd still do it somewhat differently. |

I think it would be really interesting than the same old romantic plots we got. Oh, what a great idea, Charmed by Piper! And I love your ideas, Cyma! About the only thing I don’t like is using the S9 comics for the magical part of S8. That just wouldn’t fit after S7 very well and I don’t think they could do it properly trying to just stick with the Charmed Ones. For me, I’d prefer S9 being the basis of a Charmed made-for-TV movie after S8 is done where they could do it with all of the stars and all of the sets and all of the characters. But of all of your ideas, Cyma, I especially like the idea of Billie being Henry's daughter while also liking the idea of her becoming Phoebe’s stepdaughter, while like Lordumbrex, I’d want to keep in mind that the main reason why we got an S8 in the first place was because The WB wanted it to set up a spin-off for Billie – but unlike Lordumbrex, I wouldn’t take it to the future, especially not making Billie an 18-year-old. Charmed never did young people well- see Jenny Gordon, Kyle the Seventh Son, Chris, Wyatt, Billie and Christy... Include any of them, especially the ones who played them, and especially especially if the Charmed One we mainly saw was Paige as played by a very bored Rose McGowan, and you’d never get the spin-off. So for me, I'd make Billie a young girl, closer in age to Wyatt and end up matching Phoebe with Henry and keeping Coop as far away from this scenario as possible, so looking forward to the end, you end up with Piper as a widow with just her two boys (when Leo dies, he stays dead, so Melinda stays in the ‘Morality Bites’ universe where she belongs…), Phoebe with Henry and just Billie (she finds out that like Piper, she was damaged too much internally to have a child – her visionquest was what she wanted, not what would happen – only reason Piper had kids is that she was healed internally by Leo’s whitelighter seed, something Phoebe never experienced) and Paige too busy to worry about love right now (no flash-forwards for this girl!) with me trying to set up the two boys and Billie as the future spin-off - not as Charmed, since they're not related but as Chosen - chosen to protect innocents but unable to access the Power of Three since they're not Charmed. Of course, that would succeed as well as Billie the Teenaged Thuperwitch would've, but...it's what brings in Billie. And me, I'm the goofy one who would do the rest of it differently. Rather than using my extra budget for Prue (ending the series with Piper, Phoebe and Paige going up the stairs, Piper holding little Chris, Phoebe holding Billie and Paige holding Wyatt, looking at the pictures as they go, with the next-to-the-last-one the three of them and the last one the picture that Grams took of the original Charmed Ones the day she died would be more than enough for me) or use it for Cole or for Grams or for Patty or for Victor or for Second-Half Leo or for the Source or for the Triad or for the Angel of Destiny (hence why Leo stays dead) or any other previous character – again, I’d save all of that for the made-for-TV movie - I’d use it for new sets. Rather than going back to the Manor or Phoebe getting her job back at the Bay Mirror or Piper continuing to run P3 (which made absolutely no sense – why wouldn’t the Elders and the demons be able to see through those glamours when they’re still living their own lives? And I’d be sure they use the same glamours that they used at the end of Season 7 – which also means that Piper wouldn’t get to see her sons until the finale…Victor – who we’d never see until the finale - just like we’d never see the boys until then - but who Piper would phone to see how they’re doing – would indeed take care of the boys, the Manor and P3, just like what Piper wrote in that will), I’d let them have the normal life Piper wants so much and see how they like it! I’d have them stay in a hotel (thanks for that idea, Astral Vision!) and continued to be glamoured whenever they were outside of that room. But to make sure that the Elders and the demons wouldn't know what was going on, they'd cast a spell to bind all of their powers. And they’d have to go out and find real live jobs so they have money that they can live on. Louis (Leo) would hire himself out as a handyman (and Piper would *love* him in a toolbelt! She’d truly love him and mourn him when he dies, *so* unlike S8 when he was just her little errand boy), Jenny (Piper) would end up getting a job as a bartender at P3 (I don’t need *all* new sets…), Jo (Paige) would go back to doing temp jobs and Julie (Phoebe) would end up getting a job in the Bay Mirror’s mail room. And, of course, they couldn’t use magic except on the sly. First to admit I just started thinking of this and haven't done a good job of thinking it through. So I'm not sure how, but Julie (Phoebe) would somehow first meet Henry, but unlike her with Dex, once she starts falling for him, she brings him back to the hotel room where she glamours back to Phoebe. At first Henry is turned off but when he realizes that Julie *is* really Phoebe (and unlike S8 Phoebe, she's truly acted as herself the whole time), he understands, especially when he admits that his dead wife was a witch who was killed earlier. Only after they truly fall in love does he take her (as Phoebe) back to his own place and introduces her to his 5-year-old daughter, Billie, who would not want to share her Daddy with anyone – and who has magic that she can use on Phoebe! Only when Phoebe starts helping her with her magic (and ends up using her to help save innocents, the way Piper and Prue used Little Piper and Little Prue in ‘That Seventies Episode’) would she accept Phoebe and at the very end call her Mommy. That’s as much as I have right now - not quite sure what exactly to do with Paige (except I do not want her to have charges unless i'm forgetting and she already got them in S8 - if so, then change all that and turn little Billie into her charge and through her meet her dad, Henry, in which case I don't know what to do with Phoebe outside of making sure she doesn't fall in love with anyone) or Piper once Leo dies, but I'd somehow want them to admit that being Charmed and helping innocents, not vanquishing demons, is their true destiny, and take back their powers. If anyone likes these ideas and wants to do more with them, feel free to continue the story. |

Billie present in all the 22 episodes? You broke my heart!
So.. Victor is living in the Manor with the kids, it'ld be normal if he asked for help to his niece (Piper) and her husband, a couple without children
So Piper and Leo'ld live in the Manor, raise their sons and work in P3, splitting their tasks between work and children
But the Elders, very worried - they'ld be very worried, Victor alone with the only survivors of the Halliwell's!- send a whitelighter to watch the children, an old Leo's friend
It'ld be funny to see undecover Piper and a new whitelighter
Phoebe and Paige are living together
Phoebe works as a counselor for students in the college where Billie is studing
She has vision of Billie powers and tries to help her, understanding she is living their own experience, she is a young alone witch struggling with her powers
I hated Billie in Batgirl style, I prefer a confused Billie in want of a guide
No man for Phoebe, unless she met Alex, I'ld love them as a couple
He'ld be the perfect father for her Prudence Charlotte - Phoebe loved so much the night in which she was able to fly!
Paige is difficult, she never had clear mind about what to do of her life, but I'ld like if she found Prue's camera and discovered a new artistic passion
I love Paige and Henry as a couple, so I'ld include their love story
They are undercover but they help Billie in the search of her sister and, if Leo has to die, I'ld like that Leo was suspicious of Christy and she killed him
Christy is able to manipulate Billie mind to gain the power necessary to kill the sisters and I'ld like a big battle
The sisters win, Billie turns normal and understand that her sister took control of her mind, Christy runs away because if there has be a Jenkins spin off, it'ld be intriguing a sister against sister plot
If a flash forward is mandatory - I'ld like a lot if the last episode had stopped when Phoebe started to write in the Book -
Piper opens her restaurant, no little girl amd her sons star their lives in another city
Phoebe has a girl and work as psychologist, Prudence has her premonition power
Paige works as free lance photographer, marries Henry and they have the twins, the girls have only Piper's freeze power, no whitelihter powers
I'ld prefer that possible children by Wyatt and Chris didn't inherit whitelighter powers, so as to be returned to only Wwitelighters, witch powers are enough

Christy and Billie also being Warrens is the idea that I used in my Forever Charmed rewrite, "Charmed Forever" (which I wrote the summer after Charmed ended) - to me it's the only thing that made sense for them to be that powerful. I had them be the granddaughters of Grams' third husband with her having nothing to do with them when her daughter didn't have have any powers.
In her rewrite, GZV969 had them be the granddaughters of Grams' brother Gordon II who is shown on the family tree (so very obviously Grams lied about no males in her family when she had a brother - just like her maiden name is Johnson so she also lied when she said Halliwell women keep their maiden name - only Patty and Piper did and probably only because Grams insisted - oh, I hate Kern's Grams! No wonder Chris was such a little liar - took after his Great-Grams!).
But I totally love this as a backstory, Erikamarie, the way I totally love Sol's rewritten S8.

If Billie and Christy were from Warren's, I'ld be able to accept them, above all Christy, more similar to Past Phoebe

Its hard to come up with ideas since this was the worst season and nothing of substance was shown in production.
I'll try. Let see what I would do is the Triad are still loyal to the Source. The underworld is in shambles causing them to team up with the remaining brotherhood members to find the grimiore.
Meanwhile the sisters are in actual hiding based in a house away from the manor and a swat team are roaming the streets. The elders try to keep Victor and the boys safe from possible demon and warlock attacks.
This is my idea so far. I'll try to add to it once I get more ideas of where to take it.

I would try to keep true to the show and the Characters.
Within the first two episodes I would have the sisters questioning rather they made the right decision or not. For Paige she had Magic school and she fought so hard to keep it open that she don't know if she wants to give it up. She also thinks about her charges and the constant ringing in her head from current Charges and future ones. For Pheobe she worked so hard to build her column and had an amazing career she loved. Not to mention her loyal followers. For Piper it would have been the club.
Overall had them decide rather it was worth giving all that up just to live a demon free life. Eventually they would have wrote a spell reversing time and instead of faking their deaths simply continued to live. Dealing with ever came their way. Pheobe hiring a lawyer to deal with the whole police stuff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onward talks about the sisters as individuals.
Paige would have dealt with running Magic school. Having new charges and dealing with old ones. At the same time I would have had her create a better relationship with the Elders. Have Paige discover more about her whitelighter side. How the Witch side of her affects the Whitelighter side and vice Versa. Not to mention discovering her last two witch Abilities. Which would be the ability to Conjure the Elements and Telepathy. Relationship wise I would have paired her with a Darklighter/Demon. Just as Cole was immortal due to his demon half Paige would be immortal due to her Whitelighter half and thus would need someone immortal. Towards the end of the show revealed she was Pregnant.
Pheobe would deal with expanding her brand. She writes a relationship book that is a best seller. She is offered her own daytime tv show. However she would have to move to L.A which would cause tension between the sisters. She would have to decide rather she wants to follow her dream or once again be defeated by her Charmed One destiny. I would have also brought back Jason and rekindled their flame. Also would have shown her getting her powers back.
Piper would have to deal with the idea of selling her Club to follow her dream of being a chef for her own restaurant. Dealing with Wyatt and Chris's growing powers. Also deal with Leo being unemployed. Eventually I would have her sell and open her own restaurant. Have her deal with stress of that, while managing her household and Charmed One responsibilities.
Would have kept Billie Storyline the same. Her wanting to find Christy, Ultimate power, Blah, Blah, blah.
However I would change the battle between Billie/Christy and Charmed Ones. Instead would have been the Charmed Ones vs the Triad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would have ended it with the Sisters following their dreams. If they ever needed Pheobe she could always Astral Project to them. They find a way to make it work.

This is just a mess of ideas. Not necessarily in order.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In an effort to recapture the atmosphere of Something Wicca This Way Comes:
A new family is moving into the manor (which they could afford because it's a "murder house"). Billie Jenkins has taken on guardianship of her younger sister, Alaina, following the sudden death of their parents. Both sisters get a weird vibe from the house though Billie refuses to admit it. From the very first night, Billie is plagued by nightmares of herself being burned as a witch in 1692 Salem.
Social worker Jo Bennet is assigned to their case and makes visits to ensure Billie is a fit guardian.
Much of the house is damaged and in need of repair. Between this and the usual expenses, Billie has had to drop out of college to start working. She gets a job as a waitress in a restaurant, Jennifer's, which is owned by the head chef.
While Billie gets to work on the repairs, Alaina explores the attic. She finds numerous Wiccan items, including a spirit board with a strange inscription on the back. The pointer moves on its own and spells out an address.
Alaina grows increasingly (if perhaps morbidly) fascinated with the previous tenants, believing they were witches. She asks around the neighborhood and hears all kinds of stories about the Halliwell sisters. She visits the address the spirit board gave her: it's a magic shop owned by a woman called Julie.
Insert warlock attack, reveal the Jenkins' as witches, reveal the Halliwells, warlock vanquish. Fin.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Where are the Charmed Ones?
Paige is a social worker fighting her Whitelighter instincts
Piper owns a restaurant and lives in North Beach with Leo and their "adopted" sons, Wyatt and Chris (who were fostered by Victor until "Jo" was in a position to secure the adoption)
Phoebe soon found she missed magic and opened up a magic shop (with more than a little business advice from Piper)
NOTE: Piper and Phoebe lost their active powers when Zankou was vanquished with them in his possession. They can still perform magic and the three sisters together still have the Power of Three.
Who is the Ultimate Power?
Christy, Billie, and Alaina are descendants of Melinda Warren and (very) distant cousins to the Halliwell sisters. The Triad believed they were the ones from the prophecy and abducted Christy in order to turn her and her sisters evil.
Christy and Billie are twins with opposite gifts: pyrokinesis and cryokinesis (as seen in the Warren line previously, in the 1920s). Alaina has no active power.
Return of the Charmed Ones:
By episode 10, the Halliwells have been found out by the magical world. Each is punished for their deception. For Piper, it's the removal of Leo from her life until the Charmed Ones prove themselves in one final battle. If they succeed, their punishments will be reversed and they will be freed from their magical destiny once and for all.

I only came into the Season 8 board looking for answers! Now I'm down this rabbit hole of reimagining the whole season...
My questions:
How did Piper and Phoebe get their active powers back if Zankou had them when he died?
Why did the sisters return to the manor if the Nexus was no longer there? Sure, they might get nostalgic but it's super suspicious.

A very brief S8 idea....
Instead of Billie...I would've just brought back Aviva...or even Jenny. Someone who had already interacted with the sisters but was starting to come into their own and needed guidance. Either could've been easily manipulated to the dark side as they would be viewed as the Charmed Ones weak spot.
The Big Bad(s) would've been....the Rowe brothers!!! With the Source dead, someone has been trying to bring back the "evil" Power of 3 and we could've learned that one of the many times that time was tinkered with, they found a weak spot and was able to save them and unite them as one. They've been living a "glamor"ed life readying themselves to take down TCO.
As far having to get rid of Leo....I probably wouldn't change THAT much about it...probably have it that after the end of S7...the sisters have been living fairly normal lives but their lives as Charmed Ones has taken a hit and they attempt to leave their Charmed past...in the past. The Elders being who they are and knowing that something big is on the horizon have the AoD swoop Leo away in order to give TCO motivation to get back to basics.
Phoebe/Coop would be a thing since the beginning of the season with him revealing his "secret" probably mid way. He's a Cupid gone astray and using his powers as some kind of relationship expert or something. They would end the series engaged.
Wouldn't show all of those children. Piper ends having 3, Phoebe has 1, Paige has 1 or 2 if not none.
I'd try to set the season to somewhat mirror that of S1.

I think the storyline that wasn't necessary, in my opinion, was the Billie Jenkins story, so I'll rewrite that.
In my rewrite of that storyline, Billie is Phoebe's daughter from the future who has come to her mother to help her to have faith in her gift and that she does exist and will be there soon.
Drake is gifted to Phoebe from the Elders instead of Coop, he is also allowed to keep his powers as long as he continues to use them for good.
Her actual name is Prudence Brianna de Món, just like her ancestor, she has the gift of Telekensis and her fathers powers of Shimmering and Conjunction. All of Phoebe's daughters have the teleportation power of Shimmering, and a combination of both Phoebe Halliwell and Drake de Món powers.
She didn't lie to her mother, she told Phoebe and Drake about why she is there, which actually didn't mess up the future since she was supposed to be there to help guide her mother since the only person who could is the daughter that Phoebe is destined to have.
