I've done my own editing to a couple of episodes, taking into account suggestions and also my own ideas for one. As usual, feel free, to revert it back to the original, edit it yourself, or make suggestions?



Now I'm sure I'll already get people hating the near thought of a mention of Nymphs. But I added them to the story because I just felt it added a really good story base for my edit with the warlock trying to get her mother back because she endangered the forests. No Warren becomes a Nymphs, and nobody will see them. Only Patience can communicate due to her Earth power. 

If people dislike this idea, feel free to edit it back to the original. If someone else has other ideas, go for it!

Getting through reading. But I wanted to comment on this one in particular. I like how you have handled magical creatures and the use of the earth element as a way they can hear voices but still cant see them to communicate.

Is this how you'll always do them. That a particular Warren can communicate through an element only. But I'd hope you do it so they always remain unseen.

I loved how Pheebs came up with the elements for communication. I'd hope they will ALWAYS stay that way with the unseen and mystery.

Also, I hope they stay minor, and only part of one standalone episode. I don't want magical creatures taking up all the episodes and stories. So if it happens again, we will keep them as part of the standalone stories we tell.

I see. Thanks. I don't think it's necessary. Part of one off episodes is fine. But I'm not sure what you all have in mind.

Just wasn't sure. When I'm done reading all the pages. I might quote one of your recaps and make my comments and suggestions.

I've been thumbing through this thread. I have really missed out on what has been going on at the Cafe as of late.

I'm not even done reading the pages yet - I have spent a long time trying to get through 6 pages. But some very interesting stuff everyone from what I have read.

With my job, I do lots of traveling to different states. So if you need some help with Philadelphia for some background, I'm at your service. I haven't had business trips to Salem, but have been here.

Welcome back, Sasha.

I'm very glad that you guys like that idea, and I really hope we figure out a way to do it.

I had another idea to throw into the mix. Not quite sure which season this would fit into, but before we talked about doing our versions of 'That Seventies Episode' and 'Pardon My Past'. I'm wondering if we could have a full story arc where the Warrens end up going into the past, but actually having to stay there for more than just one episode. I'm thinking about going back and seeing Prudence and Allen and Andrea and the coven, including Bridget, but also going back and seeing what happened between Paige and Sam, and between Sam and Peyton. Both of these could work as nice backstories for what we want to do to end our series. I'm thinking that maybe Patience and Paige could end up going back and seeing what happened to their mother while Piper and Phoebe go back and see what happened to their Aunt Paige and cousin Peyton...In the meantime Prudence would remain in the current time period, having to cope with whatever changes happen in the present thanks to what the time travelers do in the past.

Along with all of this, we might even be able to go back to the Witch Trials with Mary Ann and Jenna.

What do you guys think of that?

Maybe they want to channel some witch from the past or calling on the spirits for something (maybe just a harmless spell to summon one coven members loved one to see them) that backfires and summons Peyton instead who then possess Bridget or now possibly Andrea. 

Maybe Andrea so happen to end up with an object that belonged to Peyton that perhaps she left behind  when she stayed one time over as a child one time. Andrea thought it belonged to another Warren or as time passed forgot and assumes belonged to a coven members daughter or son instead. 

Just coming up with an idea. Anyone have other ideas?

OOOO! I really like those ideas! Maybe Andrea wants to call up her brother on *their* 70th birthday, but the way the spell is worded, it calls up Peyton instead, and since Andrea's the one who casts the spell, and Andrea is Peyton's great-aunt, that's why she possesses Andrea.

How's that?

Those sound like great ideas. I'd love to see that done. Especially the time travel season of secrets. That would mean we'd have our third season with a general direction now.

So are we playing it that Allen is a little younger than Prudence. If this happens in S4, or a tad age decrease for Prudence as well so she is 70 in S3. Nothing says Allen couldn't fall in love with someone 3-4 years older.

And it really would divide the Warrens. That Paige becoming a warlock after her family thinks she framed Piper and killed Bridget when it was really Andrea possessed by Peyton. Wow!

It really adds another layer of intensity to have Bridget the innocent that Piper is framed for killing and not any random innocent.

I agree with this dear, It *really* does add more to the story and conflict, with Bridget being the that dies and Piper is framed for killing. That when the Warren family learn that it is Andrea being possessed by Peyton in the season 4 finale, I honestly think we have a brilliant final cliffhanger leading into S5. So much drama. 

That's what you want from a season leading into a final season. Edge of your seat.

Yup, and that is what we want our show to do dear. And another for it not to get boring and run much longer than it should. 

I still can't believe dear how far we have come since I started the reboot ideas thread only 3 weeks ago. I'm overjoyed to see it led to this amazing project with EC.

I really *love* the idea of doing a season based around secrets and time travel. It will be so much fun, especially since half the time on Classic Charmed, most of the wonderful time travel episodes should have been two-parters. Yet we got stuck with a majority of two-parters, I didn't like at all. 

As for the ages, nothing says dears that Prudence and Andrea were not friends for a while even before Prudence meet and got with Allen, and that Andrea is the one who introduced Prudence to her twin brother and that's how they meet and eventually married. It depends how long Prudence has been in the coven, it might be much longer and before her marriage to Allen.

"Elemental Charmed"

BACKSTORY:

Prudence Warren, a witch born from a long matriarchal line of witches who have always lived in Warren Manor in Salem, MA, always said everything happens for a reason, but nothing comes without a price.

She has known that she has the Elemental power of Spirit when she started having premonitions as a teenager. While studying to become a doctor, she married fellow witch, Allen Halliwell, and gave birth twice (with Allen agreeing to let their daughters carry the family name of Warren if any son carried his family name of Halliwell). When they grew older, Prudence discovered that her older daughter, Patience, had the Elemental power of Earth, while her younger daughter, Paige, had the Elemental power of Air. When Prudence's premonitions revealed that her two future granddaughters would have the other two Elemental powers of Water and Fire, she realized that her family was destined to become the powerful Elemental Witches. She began training her daughters in the Craft in order to prepare them for what would eventually happen to them and their own daughters, especially after a warlock murdered Allen.

While still a teenager, Paige fell in love with an older man, Sam Wilder. Although Prudence warned her against him so Paige eventually broke up with him, a couple months later she discovered she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter, Peyton. When Prudence, Patience, and Paige discovered that Peyton had the Elemental power of Water, and when a couple years later Patience married non-magical Victor Bennett and had their daughter Piper, who had the Elemental power of Fire, the Warren family was certain that those five would become the Elemental Witches with each of Prudence's daughters having one child, who were cousins.

This changed when Sam came back and began influencing his eight-year-old daughter. When Peyton used her firepower to kill a classmate who was teasing her, she became a warlock like her father. Under his influence, Peyton turned on her family and much as it hurt the family, especially Patience, they ended up having to vanquish Peyton, and they were sure all was lost.

But this changed five years later, when Piper was ten and Patience gave birth to Phoebe, who had the same Elemental power as Peyton - Water. After Phoebe was born, Patience and her mother and sister decided to try to protect her daughters from what had happened to Peyton. The three older witches placed a cloaking spell on Victor and the girls before the three of them relocated to the other side of the country in San Francisco. This way the girls could be raised by their father and be protected while also having a normal childhood, something no other Warren witch had ever had.

In order to continue to protect them, Victor raised Piper and Phoebe so they didn't know that they were witches or destined to become one of the Elemental Witches – they were always just his little girls. They’ve visited their grandmother, mother (who they believed divorced their father, but agreed to let him have custody so that she could live her own life as a photographer for the Salem Police Department) during summer vacations and they always go back to Warren Manor for Christmas.

But as our series begins, Prudence has a premonition showing that Sam is back, going after Piper and Phoebe, so the two are in danger. Paige uses her Elemental power of Air to transport herself, her mother and her sister to her nieces. They're too late to prevent Sam from murdering Victor, but thanks to Prudence's premonition, Patience uses her Elemental power of Earth to throw Sam into a wall before he can harm her daughters. Then Prudence, Patience and Paige use a potion and a spell to vanquish Sam. Patience reveals to her daughters that they are witches and lets them decide if they want her to unbind their powers. After seeing what happened to their father, that idea frightens the girls and they decide against this.

Piper and Phoebe try to forget what their mother told them as they help their family prepare their father’s wake and funeral, even as the younger set of sisters consider moving to Salem. During the funeral, the whole Warren family remember and mourn Victor through numerous flashbacks.

But when Piper and Phoebe see how their powers can help people, they finally agreed to embrace their destiny, and their powers are unbound. They agree to join their mother and aunt, who along with their grandmother who uses her premonitions and knowledge to guide her daughters and granddaughters. The five Warren women are now the Elemental Witches, setting out to protect those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic.

THE MAIN CHARACTERS:

Prudence Warren: Aged 70. Much the same as the Grams we know and shake our head at, she's the strict, fiery matriarch of the Warren family. She's very much like Prue Halliwell, initially strict but because she will have suffered fewer losses than the "real Grams" she becomes more mellow and softer. She has the Elemental power of Spirit which gives her premonitions. She was a doctor but is now retired, although now she uses her skills along with potions to heal her family’s injuries.

Patience Warren: Prudence's older daughter, aged 50. Pretty much the Patty we know and love, although even more kind and caring. She functions as the "balance" of the family as Piper was in the original series, but unlike Piper Halliwell, she is the most selfless person of all and always has time to help those in need, although that often gets her in trouble. Like Prue Halliwell, she's a photographer, but unlike Prue, she works with the Salem police. She has the Elemental power of Earth which allows her to throw anything..

Paige Warren: Prudence's younger daughter, aged 40. Again, she is basically the same as her namesake, except she is Patty's sister, not Piper and Phoebe's. She's sometimes irresponsible and impulsive and not always in touch with reality. Much in the same way Prue would lecture Phoebe at being irresponsible in the original series, Prudence would be the same with this "Paige". Like Paige Matthews, she's a social worker. Paige has the Elemental power of Air, which allows her to use the wind to move herself and anyone else to wherever she wants to go.

Piper Warren: Patience's older daughter, aged 30. Again much like Piper Halliwell, but rather than being shy, she's very fiery, like later-season Piper without constantly feeling sorry for herself (although she does miss her normal life..,), and because there are no whitelighters, she never falls for one. Like Piper Halliwell, she owns her own restaurant and is a very good cook, so she's the one who makes most of the potions. She has the Elemental power of Fire, which allows her to form and throw fireballs, but like Piper Warren herself, the power isn't evil.

Phoebe Warren: Patience's younger daughter, aged 20. Also much like Phoebs Halliwell (and never like PhoeME Halliwell), but like her grandmother, mother, aunt and sister, the fact that she was born in Warren Manor has nothing to do with whether she can easily turn evil - all five have free will and can decide if they want to do good or evil. Phoebe is still in college and works on the school paper. She has always loved to write and is the one who comes up with most of the original spells. Phoebe has the Elemental power of Water which allows her to freeze molecules.

PRESS RELEASES FOR “ELEMENTAL CHARMED” FROM THE CW AND CBS-TV

All of you guys really have created something special here. I really enjoyed following how this all came together.

The backstory with Paige and Peyton is very impressive. I especially like that you have Piper & Phoebe in San Francisco and then moving to Salem and where the series is set-up.

Prudence being a doctor is an idea I actually think really fits. Because it means Prudence may not have active powers, but with Premonitions and her skills as a doctor, she is actually an asset to the family.

I really want to say a big thank-you for the efforts. I really enjoyed reading how this came together. Since I barely have kept up with the Charmed reboot at The CW, I actually have been so out of the loop, the only thing I've seen is a couple of promos, and I'm not impressed. This reboot looks more promising.

"Simply Charmed Again"

Reboot From Original Creator Gets CW Pilot Orders

For a second consecutive year, the CW has handed out its first two pilot orders to a high-profile reboot of a long-running series from CBS TV Studios and another project from one of Warner Bros. TV’s top producers.

This time the network has greenlighted a new “Charmed” from the show's original creator, Constance M. Burge. The project will reunite Burge with three of her fellow writing staff: Sheryl. J Anderson and the popular team of Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin. Also joining the project is Paul Ruditis, known for his work on the popular Charmed comic series and author of several Charmed novels. Burge will act as executive producer while the others will write all of the episodes.

The CW originally tried to bring back “Charmed”, one of the signature dramas of predecessor The WB, last season, when it ordered a reimagining of the original Aaron Spelling series from the same creative auspices. It was to be set in 1976 and feature a new trio of witches. The project was rolled over to this development season.

The new “Charmed” script, penned by Anderson and Ruditis and based on a story by Burge, is set in present time. Per The CW, whose brass greenlighted the pilot shortly after getting the script, “this new dark, dramatic ‘Charmed’ reboot" of the original series centers on five women, not three, and unlike the original classic series, this new take will be incorporating the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit).

Season 1, Episode 1: 'House of the Rising Warrens'

NEW SERIES PREMIERE — It isn't every day you wake up and discover that you're a witch from a long matriarchal line of witches, and sisters Piper and Phoebe Bennett will soon discover that their somewhat ordinary life of being raised in Salem, MA, by their father, Victor, is about to become anything but ordinary.

When their grandmother, Prudence Warren, who has been living on the other side of the country in San Francisco, has a premonition that a warlock who she had presumed was dead is back, and is going after Piper and Phoebe, she rushes to their rescue. With her are her older daughter, Piper and Phoebe's mother Patience Warren, and her younger daughter, their aunt Paige Warren. They three are too late to prevent the warlock from murdering Victor. Patience reveals to her daughters that their true last name is Warren just like hers, her mothers and her sisters, but the girls grew up with the last name of Bennett to hide the fact that they are witches with bound powers. Their mother gives them the choice to have her unbind their powers. After seeing what happened to their father, that idea frightens the girls and they decide against this.

Piper and Phoebe try to forget what their mother told them as they help their family prepare their father’s wake and funeral, even as the younger set of sisters consider moving to Salem. During the funeral, the whole Warren family remember and mourn Victor through numerous flashbacks.

Season 1, Episode 2: 'Back Home Again’

THE WARRENS ARE REUNITED IN SALEM. While still mourning the death of their father and getting used to the idea that they are part of a family of witches with powers, Piper and Phoebe move to their family’s ancestral home in Salem, MA. Piper has sold her restaurant in San Francisco and is now looking for a new restaurant in Salem. Paige thinks she should name it ‘Piper’s Brew’ but Piper doesn’t think that’s funny. In the meantime, Phoebe registers for classes at Salem College, happy that her credits have all transferred.

But not everything goes as well. Piper is used to living in her own apartment and Phoebe has lived in the dorms since she started college. Finding out that they are going to have to share a room, something they’ve never had to do, does not make either happy. But when both run into a warlock and they need their grandmother’s, mother’s and aunt’s help to vanquish her, they realize why Patience and Paige have always lived with their mother.

With help from Prudence and Piper, Patience decides to turn their Halloween party into a combined surprise birthday party for the two.

Well, I'm glad Piper learns a lesson. I like how you get the Warren's both included, Patience's job meaning she gets involved in something at Phoebe's campus, is how I like the stories crossing over with each other.

This one is interesting. I'm glad it isn't a warlock every single episode. A nice change of pace, but glad you are making warlocks the most important and not demons, which I find are minimal.

I like this one, and like the way you are coming up with interesting villains, and again I'm so very VERY impressed how you are able to find a way to bring all Warren's occupations and find a way to include them with the villain of the week with the innocents. I'm really starting to enjoy this series so very much.

Keep up the very fantastically written and plotted press releases guys.


I'd read on, but I don't want to be late for work.

So I better get ready. But thank-you for making my morning. I'll be thinking about this all day at work now, which isn't a bad thing.


EDIT: By the way, do you all mind if I keep on commenting on stuff in this thread (don't want to clog up this thread with several posts at a time), or should I make my own review thread for myself, so I can keep on giving my thoughts. 

[Esmeralda]

As long as we're on a new page, I'm going to post our update. Since we're still deciding how to combine our S2 with our S5 and whether we should have Classic Charmed actors in our series, I'm going to keep them the way we have them right now. If we change our mind later on, I'll post these current castings in our casting thread in case anyone wants to do a fantasy version.

"Elemental Charmed"

BACKSTORY:

Prudence Warren, a witch born from a long matriarchal line of witches who have always lived in Warren Manor in Salem, MA, always said everything happens for a reason, but nothing comes without a price.

She has known that she has the Elemental power of Spirit when she started having premonitions as a teenager. While studying to become a doctor, she married fellow witch, Allen Halliwell, and gave birth twice (with Allen agreeing to let their daughters carry the family name of Warren if any son carried his family name of Halliwell). When they grew older, Prudence discovered that her older daughter, Patience, had the Elemental power of Earth, while her younger daughter, Paige, had the Elemental power of Air. When Prudence's premonitions revealed that her two future granddaughters would have the other two Elemental powers of Water and Fire, she realized that her family was destined to become the powerful Elemental Witches. She began training her daughters in the Craft in order to prepare them for what would eventually happen to them and their own daughters, especially after a warlock murdered Allen.

While still a teenager, Paige fell in love with an older man, Sam Wilder. Although Prudence warned her against him so Paige eventually broke up with him, a couple months later she discovered she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter, Peyton. When Prudence, Patience, and Paige discovered that Peyton had the Elemental power of Water, and when a couple years later Patience married non-magical Victor Bennett and had their daughter Piper, who had the Elemental power of Fire, the Warren family was certain that those five would become the Elemental Witches with each of Prudence's daughters having one child, who were cousins.

This changed when Sam came back and began influencing his eight-year-old daughter. When Peyton used her firepower to kill a classmate who was teasing her, she became a warlock like her father. Under his influence, Peyton turned on her family and much as it hurt the family, especially Patience, they ended up having to vanquish Peyton, and they were sure all was lost.

But this changed five years later, when Piper was ten and Patience gave birth to Phoebe, who had the same Elemental power as Peyton - Water. After Phoebe was born, Patience and her mother and sister decided to try to protect her daughters from what had happened to Peyton. The three older witches placed a cloaking spell on Victor and the girls before the three of them relocated to the other side of the country in San Francisco. This way the girls could be raised by their father and be protected while also having a normal childhood, something no other Warren witch had ever had.

In order to continue to protect them, Victor raised Piper and Phoebe so they didn't know that they were witches or destined to become one of the Elemental Witches – they were always just his little girls. They’ve visited their grandmother, mother (who they believed divorced their father, but agreed to let him have custody so that she could live her own life as a photographer for the Salem Police Department) during summer vacations and they always go back to Warren Manor for Christmas.

But as our series begins, Prudence has a premonition showing that Sam is back, going after Piper and Phoebe, so the two are in danger. Paige uses her Elemental power of Air to transport herself, her mother and her sister to her nieces. They're too late to prevent Sam from murdering Victor, but thanks to Prudence's premonition, Patience uses her Elemental power of Earth to throw Sam into a wall before he can harm her daughters. Then Prudence, Patience and Paige use a potion and a spell to vanquish Sam. Patience reveals to her daughters that they are witches and lets them decide if they want her to unbind their powers. After seeing what happened to their father, that idea frightens the girls and they decide against this.

Piper and Phoebe try to forget what their mother told them as they help their family prepare their father’s wake and funeral, even as the younger set of sisters consider moving to Salem. During the funeral, the whole Warren family remember and mourn Victor through numerous flashbacks.

But when Piper and Phoebe see how their powers can help people, they finally agreed to embrace their destiny, and their powers are unbound. They agree to join their mother and aunt, who along with their grandmother who uses her premonitions and knowledge to guide her daughters and granddaughters. The five Warren women are now the Elemental Witches, setting out to protect those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic.

THE MAIN CHARACTERS:

Prudence Warren: Aged 70. Much the same as the Grams we know and shake our head at, she's the strict, fiery matriarch of the Warren family. She's very much like Prue Halliwell, initially strict but because she will have suffered fewer losses than the "real Grams" she becomes more mellow and softer. She has the Elemental power of Spirit which gives her premonitions. She was a doctor but is now retired, although now she uses her skills along with potions to heal her family’s injuries.

Patience Warren: Prudence's older daughter, aged 50. Pretty much the Patty we know and love, although even more kind and caring. She functions as the "balance" of the family as Piper was in the original series, but unlike Piper Halliwell, she is the most selfless person of all and always has time to help those in need, although that often gets her in trouble. Like Prue Halliwell, she's a photographer, but unlike Prue, she works with the Salem police. She has the Elemental power of Earth which allows her to throw anything..

Paige Warren: Prudence's younger daughter, aged 40. Again, she is basically the same as her namesake, except she is Patty's sister, not Piper and Phoebe's. She's sometimes irresponsible and impulsive and not always in touch with reality. Much in the same way Prue would lecture Phoebe at being irresponsible in the original series, Prudence would be the same with this "Paige". Like Paige Matthews, she's a social worker. Paige has the Elemental power of Air, which allows her to use the wind to move herself and anyone else to wherever she wants to go.

Piper Warren: Patience's older daughter, aged 30. Again much like Piper Halliwell, but rather than being shy, she's very fiery, like later-season Piper without constantly feeling sorry for herself (although she does miss her normal life..,), and because there are no whitelighters, she never falls for one. Like Piper Halliwell, she owns her own restaurant and is a very good cook, so she's the one who makes most of the potions. She has the Elemental power of Fire, which allows her to form and throw fireballs, but like Piper Warren herself, the power isn't evil.

Phoebe Warren: Patience's younger daughter, aged 20. Also much like Phoebs Halliwell (and never like PhoeME Halliwell), but like her grandmother, mother, aunt and sister, the fact that she was born in Warren Manor has nothing to do with whether she can easily turn evil - all five have free will and can decide if they want to do good or evil. Phoebe is still in college and works on the school paper. She has always loved to write and is the one who comes up with most of the original spells. Phoebe has the Elemental power of Water which allows her to freeze molecules.

PRESS RELEASES FOR “ELEMENTAL CHARMED” FROM THE CW AND CBS-TV

"Simply Charmed Again"

Reboot From Original Creator Gets CW Pilot Orders

For a second consecutive year, the CW has handed out its first two pilot orders to a high-profile reboot of a long-running series from CBS TV Studios and another project from one of Warner Bros. TV’s top producers.

This time the network has greenlighted a new “Charmed” from the show's original creator, Constance M. Burge. The project will reunite Burge with three of her fellow writing staff: Sheryl. J Anderson and the popular team of Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin. Also joining the project is Paul Ruditis, known for his work on the popular Charmed comic series and author of several Charmed novels. Burge will act as executive producer while the others will write all of the episodes.

The CW originally tried to bring back “Charmed”, one of the signature dramas of predecessor The WB, last season, when it ordered a reimagining of the original Aaron Spelling series from the same creative auspices. It was to be set in 1976 and feature a new trio of witches. The project was rolled over to this development season.

The new “Charmed” script, penned by Anderson and Ruditis and based on a story by Burge, is set in present time. Per The CW, whose brass greenlighted the pilot shortly after getting the script, “this new dark, dramatic ‘Charmed’ reboot" of the original series centers on five women, not three, and unlike the original classic series, this new take will be incorporating the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit).

"Elemental Charmed" Renewed for Season Two, Moves To CBS-TV

CBS-TV has picked up its first new series for next season, and it is not that new. After weeks of speculation, "'Elemental Charmed" will move from cable channel The CW to its broadcast sister network CBS, which has renewed the fantasy drama for a second season.

The pickup, which comes hours after the most recent deadline for The CW to renew freshman series, will find its new home at CBS-TV, with the likes of other old properties which have in the past few years been rebooted and redeveloped for the CBS audience, especially for those whose cable systems do not include The CW.

An ''Elemental Charmed” move to CBS-TV had been rumored for a while, with talks becoming real the last few days. A CBS pickup was contingent on finding a way to produce a show of that scale and since CBS-TV also partners The CW network, the decision to move the series should make for a smooth transition.

CBS-TV had frequently been mentioned as a suitable home for 'Elemental Charmed' because the show’s audience tending to skew older than the ones who usually watch The CW, the CBS-TV president's public comments about regretting not going after the project when it was originally pitched, and the fact that CBS-TV is owned by CBS Studio, which also co-owns part of The CW.

This is the complete opposite of what happened a few years back, when "Supergirl" was rumored to be moving from CBS-TV to The CW; this time a series originally aired on The CW is making the move.

Despite the fact that its numbers were consistent for The CW and the series would have still been ordered for a second season, they found that most of their younger core audience wasn't responding to the series, which center around three generations of a family of witches.

Producer Connie Burge explained in an interview: "Although The CW was very supportive of our show, we didn't find it connected with the younger audience, and the network felt this would have meant the series would undergo a revamp in the second season, only featuring Emmalee Thompson and Meghan Corletto, who play Piper and Phoebe, the youngest members of the Warren family, something we didn't want to do."

TBC who plays Prudence, the matriarch of the Warren family, joked to interviewers: ”I was convinced that had the series stayed on The CW, I would be out of a job, because they would have killed me off."

But TBC turned serious as she added, "The move will allow the show to still remain the staple it was on The CW; we just found that the audience connected with us older women just as much as they connected with the younger ones. I am really pleased with the move, and look forward to our show telling more great stories about the Warren women."

Paul Ruditis, one of the chief writers, relieved panicking fans, announcing that "All the ladies are coming back for Season Two, the foundation and mythology we set up in our first season will progress in Season Two. We will continue to tell great stories for these Warren women."

Ruditis also hinted that the second season might go deeper into the family lives of the Warrens. We could possibly see some backstories forming from some of our ladies.

"Elemental Charmed" is produced by Constance M. Burge in association with CBS Studios.

Connie Burge, who created the classic series that starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan and is executive producer for the new series, had been considering bringing the former stars onto the show for some time. "I've been trying to find suitable roles for Shannen, Alyssa, Holly, and Rose. But I just couldn't find the right story. But after collaboration with Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin, who co-wrote the season finale, we think we’ve found the perfect roles for them."

Doherty revealed that she was called about appearing in "Elemental Charmed" and admits she was hesitant to take the offer. But after hearing what Burge had planned for her character, and then hearing that Burge had talked to Milano who would also be appearing. Doherty felt the timing was right, and that fans of the original classic series would really like what Burge has planned.

Milano told the press: "Just being approached was such an honor. I spent eight years of my life with 'Charmed', so this was almost like a high-school reunion, and when I heard Shannen was also going to be a part of it, I really wanted to do it. I haven't worked with Shannen in nearly 20 years, but the two of us have connected through social media for a while and I can't wait to see her again."

Burge mentioned that she hopes that other stars like Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Brian Krause and Julian McMahon could appear in the series further down the line. "I don't want to overcrowd this series with too many guest appearances, not when we already have five stars. But it's not out of the question."

Doherty and Milano will start filming their scenes for the season finale in April.

CONTINUAL TOUCH OF A FLOWER CAN KILL — It's springtime in Salem, and Prudence tends the Warren family garden of herbs by doing some much-needed spring planting. She asks Phoebe to go into town for some groceries and also stop at the local Wicca herbs and spices stores for more magical needs.

Phoebe finishes her list and is about to head for home when she notices a new flower shop has just opened across the street. Inside, a young woman raves about a certain 'Isaac Flower'. Seeing it, Phoebe is fascinated by it, but when she brings it home and sets it on her windowsill, she can't stop touching it and each time she does, she feels weaker. Little does she know, each time she touches it, it drains more of her energy.

The next morning, the store delivers free sample of the Isaac Flower to both Piper's restaurant and Salem Social Services and the flowers affect Piper and Paige the same way. But it’s not just them. Piper’s employees and customers and Paige’s fellow social workers and their clients are suffering the same effects.

Fortunately when Patience presents Prudence with one of the flowers, Prudence recognizes it and stops her daughter before she can touch it.

Checking their book of shadows, Prudence and Patience learn that the young woman selling the Isaac Flower is a warlock trying to use the energy trapped in the Isaac Flower to revive her mother, who was cursed a long time ago to remain in a slumber state and become one with the flowers. Doing some more research in other books, the two Warrens discover that a century ago, this warlock endangered the local forests of Salem by harming the wood nymphs.

Although the nymphs are invisible to all humans, including witches, thanks to her Elemental Power of Earth, although Patience can’t see the nymphs, she can hear and communicate with them.

But will the nymphs be willing to help when time is running for the citizens of Salem, including Paige, Piper and Phoebe who are affected by the Isaac Flowers? The warlock has put them all in trances, and summoned them to her garden. There they each present the warlock with their Isaac Flower. Even as the victim drops to the ground in a faint, the warlock transfers the energy in the flowers to her mother, hoping to break the curse by reviving her mother from her slumber.

The way the members in this thread have become press release reporters (haven't they just totally rocked it?), you and other members can become our reviewers! Others may end up wanting to do the same thing.

I absolutely love that as an arc. That might work well in our third season. We have one press release with them travelling into the past already that was inspired by Whispers From the Past. Unless we still want that one as a standalone for S2 and then the big arc one in S3, Or just one whole season devoted to an arc so it's a season of secrets, time travel and past visits.

Maybe Andrea is with Prudence in the present, just so Prudence has someone to bounce off with the changes. 

Maybe we can reorganize and edit that press release to expand it into an arc. I know Classic Charmed did the time travel to the past once a season. Maybe we do the opposite and have it apart of one season in an arc. Of course we still having actual flashbacks in the series just our time travel ones are part of a 3-5 part arc.

OOO, I really do love what you've done with this - the idea of our middle season just be a season (as you put it) of secrets, time travel and past visits sounds wonderful.

I also like the idea of Andrea being with Prudence in the present so she has someone to bounce off - perhaps at one point something happens so Allen doesn't end up meeting or marrying Prudence so in the present Andrea has no idea who Prudence is... Things like that.

Andrea is truly becoming a costar, so I'm wondering if rather than having her played by a Charmed character, we don't cast her at all until we're done. Right now, I'm thinking that for now we just have Mary Ann and Jenna appear once every season and just not cast any of the others at all, while still letting members cast the Warrens with non-Charmed actors. And if that's the case, if they want to cast Andrea as non-Charmed character, since she *has* become a costar think that should be okay.

What do you guys think of that? If enough people agree, the next time I update, I'll leave out all of the other casting. If we want to play casting in the Casting thread, we still could - purely for the fun of it, and something to think of when/if anyone decides to do a fantasy alternate universe story - there. If others like *that* idea, I can move our current casting over to that thread.

Remember, if anyone wants to use current stars to play Piper and Phoebe, I don't mind changing that.

I'm glad you like it. I'm also cool with the suggested castings.

Maybe they want to channel some witch from the past or calling on the spirits for something (maybe just a harmless spell to summon one coven members loved one to see them) that backfires and summons Peyton instead who then possess Bridget or now possibly Andrea. 

Maybe Andrea so happen to end up with an object that belonged to Peyton that perhaps she left behind  when she stayed one time over as a child one time. Andrea thought it belonged to another Warren or as time passed forgot and assumes belonged to a coven members daughter or son instead. 

Just coming up with an idea. Anyone have other ideas?

OOOO! I really like those ideas! Maybe Andrea wants to call up her brother on *their* 70th birthday, but the way the spell is worded, it calls up Peyton instead, and since Andrea's the one who casts the spell, and Andrea is Peyton's great-aunt, that's why she possesses Andrea.

How's that?

That sounds great. Definitely some reasons for how Peyton comes. Which works.

No worries Es! I'm going to set up a review thread now, and carry on my reviews, and copy and paste what I already posted here. 

They have totally rocked in the press release reporters role. I just can't get enough of them.

That's what you want from a season leading into a final season. Edge of your seat.

Yup, and that is what we want our show to do dear. And another for it not to get boring and run much longer than it should. 

I still can't believe dear how far we have come since I started the reboot ideas thread only 3 weeks ago. I'm overjoyed to see it led to this amazing project with EC. 

We're having too much fun. A reason to stick to 100 episodes and not be Classic Charmed and do eight.

Has it really only been 3 weeks. It doesn't feel like it. It feels like we've been at it for much longer. Just so much effort put into this. Everyone involved in some way has turned this into a great project.

I'm also cool with the casting suggestions. They are good and yes I can see The CW wanting casting people from those type of shows.

Exactly so. This is feeling more and more real - our own alternate universe! - as we go along!  So very glad that Sasha decided to start that thread!

I'm still trying to come up with ideas for our new S4/S5 and putting them together.

But for now, I put together another press release for a standalone. Looking at the calendar, I figured our own Friday the 13th was in order, so I've placed it during season 2. I'm not using Barbas but came up with my own villain and again making her a Demoness, not a Demon. 

ELEMENTAL WITCHES (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)

Season 2, Episode 13 'Welcome to My Nightmares'

NIGHTMARES HAUNT THE WARRENS ON FRIDAY THE 13TH — The Demoness of Nightmares has returned, for the first time in 100 years. Again the demoness sets out to start harming innocent children. But when Warren's attempt at rescuing the children ends up backfiring, they find it was really a trap for the five Warren's. The Demoness puts them into their own dreamscapes, where each of the Warren's must fight to escape their own dream passage and conqueror their own inner thoughts in their dreams, in addition to each rescuing their own innocent. 

But soon Prudence learns that her spirit element might be the key to helping them escape. When she is able to tap into her own Elemental Power and guide her family by entering other dreamscapes, that's if she can escape her own dream passage first.

But Phoebe and Prudence will soon find out this old lady is anything but kind and gentle, and might be harboring a dark side. 

At the same time, a new co-worker named Kathy joins the team at the Salem Social Services, and again she has the same impression that Margaret had, but isn't who she seems.

Eventually, Patience makes the scene of a murder and learns that people of similar last names are being killed. Turns out that the two women are working together to track down every family member for revenge, and are both really warlocks. Margaret isn't even an old lady, but using it as a disguise, and Kathy isn't even just a Social Services employee. 

Prudence and Phoebe soon learn that Margaret is really looking for an old lady in the senior center who witnessed an event that happened many decades ago. As Prudence and Phoebe work to save an innocent, Patience, Paige and Piper work to save the many family members the two warlocks are after, learning they are witches.

This reminds me of Loves a Witch but a feud between a warlock and witches family. Maybe their children got together. Much better making that a story for one episode than pairing a Warren with a Warlock. That could be a fun one to save an innocent falling for a warlock.

Also the senior center reminds me of Pardon My Past or just the old lady knowing or seeing something decades ago.

Good job Summer!
