Well done dear. You have been very busy crafting Season 2.
I actually dont mind Pheebs version with having Bridget the one to get Andrea ill. But whatever the group decides, I'll support.
I love Summer that you the coven each take down the Warrens jobs or lives.
Maybe the coven could have Holly Marie Combs plays one of the members. A way to bring her on. Of course that means she's in multiple episodes. Unless she's part of some of the flashbacks and plays a younger Prudence.

And here's Summer Reading and Pheebs latest press releases currently in development dears. First was Pheebs ideas: I was playing around with some ideas and came up with these, and got inspiration from suggestions in the thread. What do you all think? I've also added a previous press release, that is sorta the beginning of the arc, or just to get a picture of where the story carries over. As always, feel free to re-edit, comment or ask questions. If you want to re-edit this whole arc completely, go for it. If you have other ideas, let us all know here? For now, I've put these as part of our First Season, but should it be held off and left for Season Two? What do you all think, especially since it's a story that carries a few episodes, and the way I've been working this story, It seems to have taken a life of its own that it could definitely be an arc now? I also am not sure a story like this fits our First Season? And here's Summer's edits following Pheebs: Here are my edits of Pheebs ideas for her press releases, and taking onboard all the requests by members here. As always, feel free to edit, ask questions or change it back to the original ideas. As always, feel free to re-edit, comment or ask questions. If you want to re-edit this whole arc completely, go for it. If you have other ideas, let us all know here? For now, I've put these as part of our Second Season. Just because of all the requests and ideas on possibly having it being as part of an arc. Again, anyone is free to change it, or revert back to the original ideas Pheebs came up with? I'm not as satisfied with this as I originally hoped. What do you all think?

If any magical creatures are added, Definitely hope we consider in terms of Classic Charmed canon of S1-3. Also make them part of the standalones and that's it. I really think not too many really. Not to the extent S5-8 was. Pheebs I liked that you had them invisible to all even witches but that Patience's earth element meant she was the only one who could communicate. I really will hate them not being invisible or a little less mysterious and unseen. Using the earth element to communicate with them. I absolutely love. Me too. I think it's a great idea and makes sense she can.

Wow great work. Season 2 is coming along nicely.
I did like how Pheebs had the two stories come together with the coven. While both sets of Warrens were in different locations. But I loved that they became warlocks in the end and set out to destroy the Warrens by using the law.

But I loved that they became warlocks in the end and set out to destroy the Warrens by using the law. I do, too. I'm totally amazed by how well you guys have worked together to come up with this. Here's my edits. First to admit I did a lot more editing than just proof-reading this time around so if anyone doesn’t like it and wants to return to Summer Reading’s and Pheebs’ version, speak up! So? What do you guys think? I'm so excited that we're this close to being done with Season Two, even as I wonder if this should be saved for Season Three. In fact, in some ways I like this better than our Season Five, despite wanting Peyton to be part of our last season. But it's going to be very hard to find something as dramatic as this for our other seasons - our current Season Five certainly isn't. Bridget makes a better Big Bad than Peyton! Unless...is this how Peyton becomes an adult rather than an 8-year-old? Could she be the one who is possessing Prudence's best friend, Bridget? And if that's the case, should this actually be Season Four rather than Season Two? Remember, if the only thing stopping us from doing that is the ages, we can certainly change that.

Peyton taking possession of Bridget is a great idea Es! We might even be able to make this part of our S4 and S5.
Especially with an idea suggested with someone disguised as a friend. Peyton using Bridget and her coven and being Bridget as a way to learn about their good qualities and what makes them vulnerable.
None of the Warren's would suspect she's been possessed by Peyton.
And with the S2 finale plot with the coven using the law against the Warrens that could play into one of them ending up behind bars like we saw with Piper.
But maybe the Peyton story is pushed earlier in the series instead.

Thanks Granny for copying them over and Es with your edits and suggestions. Maybe Bridget could be the big bad in S4 and S5. But I hope we can find a way to at least salvage our S5 and pull it forward to say S3. I'd hate to lose that arc.
I'm fine with adjusting plots and switching seasons around. If they can work.

Oh, I definitely don't want to lose our current S5 arc - I'm just thinking that this could lead into that one, with Peyton still possessing Bridget in S5.

I do think the Bridget stories really make a great final season dears. Especially since I find it *way* better than Classic Charmed with Billie and Christy.
We could even slightly change the episodes, so the cruise episode *is* Piper's welcome home celebrations instead. Maybe setting the cliffhanger up for the S4 finale, where the Warren's learn Peyton is possessing Bridget, or even ending the season with Piper's trial about to take place, and S5 opens up with it. Lot's of ideas.

Thanks. I'm so proud of Team Charmed Cafe for all the hard work and collaboration we had putting it together, taking on board suggestions. That's fine. If anyone wants to return to our version's, speak up now as Es said! I like that you let Bridget just be the one who pretended to befriend them to steal the spell, and not someone else masking as a friend for a while. Since I am still inspired to craft some other story with a Warlock posing as a friend (It was in a Charmed Novel- and I do like the idea), but then it might turn out to be too similar to this one. But would make a good arc for S1 or S2, with somebody maybe a boss or someone who entered the lives of the Warren masking as a friend. I really loved that novel and the story they did. But because we're having Bridget and her coven, I think it would really be too similar now, to have that done again sorta. I actually even like the idea of a Witch Hunter being the seasonal big bad, someone who is actually human. Not sure what others here will feel about that? Actually looking over, maybe our first season doesn't even need a big bad - especially since the story with Mary Ann and Jenna carrying over the S1 finale and S2 premiere is enough for a big story. Classic Charmed Season 2 had none, we don't necessarily need to have one for every season. We can certainly change the ages.

I actually do think to turning the Cruise episode into the welcome home episode for Piper sounds great, and we wouldn't need to have it being Piper's birthday anymore for an excuse for the Warren's to celebrate. With all the drama that went down before, and Peyton/Bridget getting the heck out of dodge for a while, the perfect time for a much-needed break. I also think the Warren's learning about Peyton possessing Bridget makes the perfect cliffhanger of Season 4, right at the point Piper's trial is about to occur. S5's opener would be a great way to set-up the final season arc, with learning about Peyton, Piper's Trial verdict revealed and the final guest appearances by Mary Ann and Jenna (with Shannen and Alyssa returning for the final time to kick-start our last season). Then we can slot all the standalone's like the Cruise, trapped in the manor and the other ones after this, and then bring back Bridget around episode 7 or 8.

I really do think that combining both of these arcs into the last half of Season Four (with the season finale being the 88th episode if we have 22 in each season) and the final 12 episodes to end our series with Episode #100.

Love these ideas everyone. What a great second half of S4 and S5 we now have. Will the stories divided between Philadelphia and Salem be part of S4 too, or will they be in an earlier season so we have a one off earlier appearance by Bridget before she was possessed later. Especially since the story sending them to Philadelphia was Andrea's debut appearance. Of course they can be adjusted.

We could have those few being in S2 or just have Andrea's first episode being the one she comes to Founders Day instead during S3. Unless we want to meet her for the first time in S1 or S2. I think saving any additional family members until S2 would be better. But we can have them all mentioned.

So excited that we have it sorted and planned. Well, not totally - we still have to figure out how to combine the two seasons together, but we definitely have it started. Love these ideas everyone.

I think saving any additional family members until S2 would be better. But we can have them all mentioned. [/quote]I agree that S1 should just concentrate on the Elemental Witches - it would be nice if the first time we have guest stars from Classic Charmed (even Neil Roberts and Leigh-Allyn Baker) that it would be Shannen and Alyssa in the season finale. As you said, mentioning the others during Season 1 would be a great way to introduce them, but actually introducing them could be held off for later seasons. Although if we're going to have Bridget start out as Prudence's best friend and change when she's possessed by Peyton - we have to figure out how she's able to come back - will it be similar to 'How to Make A Quilt Out of Americans' where the coven (and I like the idea of it *not* being the "former" coven but one that's still continuing in Philadelphia, but that Prudence decided to leave when she moved home to Salem after Allen's death) calls her up in hopes of becoming young again, but leaving out the idea of the demon and the skin falling off - just having Peyton possess Bridget. Although I just came up with another idea, an idea that would let one of the other Classic Charmed actors costar in the final episode along with Julian (an idea I admit I don't like - I prefer the Classic Charmed actors only being part of standalone episodes and not part of an arc, so they don't take away too much spotlight from the Elemental Charmed actors, especially during the last season. I like the idea of Shannen and Alyssa as Mary Ann and Jenna showing up once every season, the way Grams showed up once each season in Classic Charmed, while the others only show up for a single episode - but because this is a Team Charmed Cafe Project - not my project - I'm willing to go with the majority - but if Julian can costar in the final season, then I think this would also work) - rather than Bridget being possessed...could it be Andrea, played by Jennifer Rhodes? Or do we have Jennifer play Bridget rather than Andrea? I like the idea of Andrea being the one possessed just because although she's *not* a Warren, she is Patience and Paige's aunt and Phoebe and Piper's great-aunt and I just like the idea of them being the stars. Plus I like the idea of Peyton being able to come back from the dead because she can possess her great-aunt. But changing our series that much might be a bit too much hassle, so if others don't like that idea, we don't have to use it.
