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

Season 1, Episode 17: ‘A Warren in A Strange, Strange World’ (Part One???)

THE STRANGE DIMENSIONS — Strange things start occurring in Salem, as all the Warrens gather to celebrate Piper's big news when her restaurant ends up in magazines top 100 best restaurants. As the family begins to toast to Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends all the women set out to rescue an innocent against three warlocks, but no sooner, do Prudence, Patience, and Paige recognizes the warlocks as ones they previously vanquished two decades ago. 

When the women confront the warlocks, suddenly a vortex opens up and sends Piper, Paige, two warlocks and their innocent into the vortex. Fearing they may have never see their family again, or worse they have died, they immediately rush home. 

Elsewhere, in the other dimension, Piper and Paige are shocked to find themselves in a very strange but horrible universe, one where warlocks rule the world, and witches are near existent. Learning that in this universe, all previously vanquished warlocks in the real world are dead, but here they are very much alive. The Elemental Witches do not exist in this universe, because none of them were ever born, because Mary Ann and Jenna Warren never made it to America alive.

The remaining Warrens head straight to the manor and come to the conclusion through research that they may be in another dimension or universe. But neither of them know how to open the door to the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper are rescued by some fellow witches and take their innocent to a safe house. Eventually, the innocent reveals herself and changes back from a glamoured form to reveal herself to be Andrea Halliwell. The two Warren's look in shock, learning that in this universe, Prudence never married Allen, because the family line never existed but she and Allen are leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time. But the prophecy of the Elemental Witches has been an urban myth, and she has been looking to try and find a way into a universe that has them, enough just to help them out to vanquish some warlocks who are overruling Salem. 

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this universe, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Will Piper and Paige survive without their powers, will the other Warrens find a way to rescue their family? What do the other remaining warlocks still in the real universe want?

SASHA: So? What do you think? Again looking at my story, I actually think it shouldn't be included in this season. Especially because the story I did would continue into a part 2. And we want our first season to be standalone. But I placed it here to see what you all thought, and again with my story it might fit better somewhere else?

If you guys think it hasn't got enough to be in two parts, I'll leave in it in “Charmed” Season 1, or move to another season.

I must say, I did think I'd only do one or rarely do press releases. But one press release and you find yourself hooked.

ESMERALDA: Hehehehe! So very glad this is hooking you in, Sasha! I agree with you that we only want standalones in the first and second season except for the season finales/premiere - but those are also the *only* time we want Part 1 and Part Two - they don't work well during the season.

Personally I think it will work fine as a standalone. With you just including the question at the end, as we have for other episodes (personally I'm seriously considering doing that for ALL of our episodes to make it seem more like a real press release, as well as changing "original airdate" "To be aired:"

Of course if I *really* wanted to make it seem more real, we'd have to make all of them extra-short. After all, here's what the original The WB press releases for Classic Charmed's “Charmed” Season 1 looked like:

Although I think we might want to do something like this when we get our 100 episodes, I truly don’t think it’s how we want to do them now!  We've been having such fun, l think we should just keep doing it the way we're doing it, and if it's not quite realistic - who cares?  We're enjoying ourselves, right? Maybe someone's fantasy version will be a more realistic one - if so, go for it!  But as is...

In the meantime, here’s my edit of yours, Prudence:

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

Season 1, Episode 17:‘Two Warrens in a Strange, Strange Land’

WHAT IF MARY ANN AND JENNA'S PARENTS NEVER MADE IT TO AMERICA? — When Piper’s new restaurant makes a national magazine’s List of The Top 100 Best Restaurants, the Warrens gather to celebrate. But as the family toasts Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends them out to rescue an innocent going against three warlocks.

Suddenly a vortex opens up, grabbing Piper and Phoebe and their innocent and plopping them in the middle of a dimension where warlocks rule the dimension, and witches are near extinction. To top it off, all of the warlocks that the Warrens have vanquished throughout time are now very much alive. All of this is because Penelope Warren and her husband Joshua never made it to America alive, but were killed when some warlocks sunk their ship. This means that Mary Ann Warren was never born, which also means the Elemental Witches do not exist.

Back in the original dimension, Paige transports the remaining Warrens home and after some research in their family book of shadows, have come to the conclusion that Piper and Phoebe may be in another dimension. Unfortunately, there is nothing in their book that tells them how to reopen the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper and their innocent are rescued by some of the remaining witches. There they are surprised to when their innocent takes off her glamor to reveal herself as Andrea Halliwell! The two Warrens look at each other in shock.

Andrea explains that in this dimension, it’s her and her twin, Allen – neither of them who have ever married or had children who have been leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time.

She then tells them that in this dimension, the prophecy of the Elemental Witches is an urban myth, but one that she discovered isn’t a myth in a different dimension, so for years, she has been looking for a way into that dimension, so she could bring the Elemental Witches to her dimension, just long enough to help them vanquish the warlocks who have overtaken Salem. Unfortunately her vortex spell wasn’t strong enough to grab all five Warrens, but just two.

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this dimension, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Meanwhile, back in the Warrens’ original dimension, Paige has figured out a way to use her Air powers to transport them to the other dimension and they arrive right after Andrea is killed.

But what will happen when she and the other two find out that they no longer have powers?

ESMERALDA So? What do you think?

Sasha, you'll notice I didn't have any of the Warrens recognize the warlocks nor did I have the warlocks go with them. Those things just don't seem to fit your story. If I'm wrong and you want to change it, go ahead and edit mine and make it a big more clear.

[Esmeralda]

WOW! Now we’re at TWENTY-THREE pages! But this one won’t take me as long as the previous one did since I just have to add the new press releases. As always, if I missed anything, be sure to let me know!

Here we go!

Elemental Charmed

Created by Constance M. Burge

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 even use his last name, Bennett, as their own. 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 forensic 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. Seeing the shock in her daughters’ eyes, Patience reveals that she, her mother and her sister are witches with elemental powers – and so are Piper and Phoebe. She 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 to be with their family. 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 agree 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 classic 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 classic 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.

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 classic 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 classic series centers on five women, not three, and unlike the classic series, this new take will be incorporating the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit).

The CW Picks Up ‘Elemental Charmed’ Pilot To Series

The CW has made its new series orders. The network has ordered two reboots, including the new fantasy drama 'Elemental Charmed', from Constance M. Burge, the original series creator of the classic series 'Charmed' back in 1998 for the upcoming 2018–2019 season.

Penned by Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis and created by Burge, the “Charmed” reboot pilot centers around 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).

The show will star TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4, and TBC5.

Giving new meaning to “third time’s a charm,” this reboot has been attempted twice before — first for CBS in 2013, then again for The CW in 2017. That second attempt was to be set in the 1970s, centered around three women of no blood relation, an idea that was eventually tweaked to become the pilot that earned this series order.

The original Classic Charmed series ran for eight seasons (1998–2006) on The WB and starred the likes of Holly Marie Combs (Pretty Little Liars), Alyssa Milano (Mistresses), Rose McGowan (Citizen Rose) and Shannen Doherty (Beverly Hills, 90210).

Details of the new series are below:

”Elemental Charmed‘s” EP and Stars On Staying True To The Original and What’s To Come In Season One – Comic Con

The executive producer and cast of “Elemental Charmed”, The CW’s dark, dramatic 'Charmed' reboot, took the stage on Day 1 of San Diego Comic-Con following a screening of the pilot episode, written by Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis and based on a story by executive producer, Connie Burge. Present today were starring cast members TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4 and TBC5, along with Burge.

This new version is set in modern times in Salem, MA and follows two sisters who discover that they, along with their grandmother, mother, and aunt, are a family of witches who discover that between protecting those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic while maintaining familial bonds, a witch’s work is never done.

“The original was so much about female empowerment and sisterhood and strong women, and I feel like that’s what we need again right now. The writers agreed with me, and Sheryl and Paul did a fantastic job turning my story into a script. Fortunately The CW liked it, too,” said Burge about rebooting the 1998-2006 series she created.

The first episode wasted no time in expanding the concepts of different background experiences and ages, with each of the Warrens coming from a different generation, while featuring a few nods to the WB Network original "Charmed" series.

"We want to be like classic “Charmed” that lets our viewers check into our series, enter our fantasy world and allow all the troubles in the real world to go away for an hour each week." Burge revealed about what they hope the viewers will take away from the new series. "We believe that will allow our series to still be relevant and fun to watch 20 years from now, just like classic “Charmed”."

Burge assured that the series will stay true to its predecessor.

“So many people have told me that they loved the original,” she said. ”We thought a new series would be a great way to thank all of the fans who have remained so loyal throughout the years. Originally we wanted to just redo the series, but so many fans will only think of Shannen Doherty playing Prue Halliwell or Holly Marie Combs playing Piper Halliwell or Alyssa Milano playing Phoebe Halliwell along with all the rest, that we decided to change it to this. Thanks to these changes, although it's still deeply rooted in the original, this series will not just be rooted in sisterhood like the original, but also motherhood and family ties of women sticking together, juggling everyday life while also relying on each other to navigate the world we live in today."

Expressing the same sentiments, TBC2 said, “Since Connie created the original, of course we can’t help but be very respectful of the original, which TBC1, TBC3 and I all loved when we were young, but what Connie and the writers really wanted to do was allow other viewers who watched the classic series to be able to watch it with their own daughters and children now, and everyone can relate to one of these women at whatever stage of life they are in. It's a real family show rooted in fantasy.“

As to what’s in store for the Warren family, this season will focus on the bonds between these women and navigating mother-daughter, grandmother-grandchildren, niece-aunty and sister-sister relationships “Piper and Phoebe learning about their powers and gaining more control of their powers,” teased Burge. “The juggling of everyday problems, their jobs or schoolwork for Phoebe with the latest warlock or supernatural attack.”

Everything You Need To Know About The ‘Charmed’ Reboot “Elemental Charmed”

In our exclusive interview with Executive Producer Connie Burge, we dig deep and reveal five secrets from the “Elemental Charmed”.

'Charmed' is one of television’s most iconic series led by female stars, and it is the love for the series that prompted The CW to give it a reboot and specifically ask the original creator, Constance M. Burge, to take on the task of rebooting the series that was originally based on her and her sisters, hence why sisterhood was always so important to the series.

'Charmed' is returning in the fall of 2018, but it isn’t the same Power of Three that fans remember, and while some are adamantly against a reboot, saying that it's much too soon, others are open to it. The new 'Charmed' aims to bring the same female empowerment and entertainment to audiences now as the classic “Charmed” did during its eight-season run from 1998-2006 starring Shannen Doherty (seasons 1-3), Holly Marie Combs (seasons 1-8), Alyssa Milano (seasons 1-8), and Rose McGowan (seasons 4-8), but with a modern twist. Ahead of the new 'Charmed', here is everything you need to know about “Elemental Charmed”:

5. The Premise

In early 2018, after what seemed like years of rumors about the show coming back, The CW finally announced it had ordered a pilot for a 'Charmed' reboot, specifically asking the original creator of the series to write the story and choose the writers. The logline from the network for the series reads: "Set in Salem, MA, and follows two sisters who discover that they, along with their grandmother, mother, and aunt, are a family of witches who discover that between protecting those innocent of the knowledge of magic from the denizens of evil magic while maintaining familial bonds and outside jobs, a witch’s work is never done. Rather than Halliwell, their family name is Warren, honoring classic Charmed's Melinda Warren, the first Warren to be born in America. But unlike classic Charmed, these Warrens really have kept their maiden name...

4. Their Powers

Rather than a Power of Three, we have a unit of five based around the five elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. Each Warren will be able to tap into her own element, which will allow her to do things that the non-magical and other witches cannot. Their symbol isn't the triquetra but the pentagram.

3. Differences

There are several other distinct changes between the classic and the reboot. While the classic series was based in San Francisco, the new series is set in Salem so it can bring up the infamous witch trials. Also with two sets of sisters - one of one set the mother of the other set - the series will focus on not just sisters, but all types of relationship with mother-daughters, grandmother-grandchildren, and niece-aunt. Although the names will sound familiar: Prudence (never Prue!), Patience (never Patty!), Paige, Piper and Phoebe (never Phoebs), their last name is Warren and Prudence is the matriarch while Patience and Paige are her daughters and Piper and Phoebe are Patience's daughter. They're also each from a different generation: Prudence is 70; Patience is 50; Paige is 40; Piper is 30 and Phoebe is 20. This is quite different from most The CW projects and The CW is very curious to see how it all works out.

2. The Trailer

After announcing the reboot in early 2018, no one expected the series to be ready for the Fall 2018 TV season. But The CW went full steam ahead into development, and on May 17, 2018 the first trailer was released. Warren Manor is noticeably similar to Halliwell Manor, with some slight differences, including an obvious attic and painted grey rather than pink. It first gives us a glimpse of the lives of the three older Warrens before Patience's daughters' father is killed in San Francisco where the younger set lives, leading to the younger set discovering their own powers and their family's destiny as the Elemental Witches.

The trailer not only introduced the new Elemental Witches but also revealed that their own family book of shadows (not The Book of Shadows) still plays a major part, along with the matriarch's premonitions. Also back are warlocks, which will play a much larger part in this new take – in this series, witches who kill non-magicals (not mortals, since the Warrens and warlocks are also mortals) become warlocks and warlocks who save an innocent become witches - and in this series, innocents are non-magicals who are innocent of the existence of magic - and protecting innocents from all sorts of other supernatural evils, including the Demonesses of...

Yes, unlike the classic series, this one is truly female-centric.

1. Premiere Date

Following the release of the official trailer, everyone wanted to know when the series would finally hit the air, and The CW made an interesting decision. “Elemental Charmed” will premiere on Sunday, October 14, 2018, capitalizing off the theme of witches and the supernatural with the fall/Halloween season. Sunday night can be a dangerous choice for a new series, but the network slotted the premiere at 9 p.m. which is prime time, and also placed it after the hit series 'Superwoman', making Sunday nights the ultimate girl-power nights on the network.

”Charmed” Reboot “Elemental Charmed” Hits New York Comic Con and also teases the classic “Charmed”s‘ 20-year-anniversary special

EXCLUSIVE: Attendees at this year’s New York Comic Con are going to feel seriously Charmed with an early look at The CW reboot from classic “Charmed”s’ creator Connie Burge.

The new version of the late 1990s supernatural sibling WB series is set to debut on October 14th, but I’ve learned that NYCC fans will get to see the first full episode of “Elemental Charmed”, a week beforehand.

Already having previewed at San Diego Comic-Con in July, the slightly-redone Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis penned opener that’s screening at the Hammerstein Ballroom on October 7 at 1:30 PM ET has some added significance at NYCC, at least in terms of timing. The preview coincides with the 20th anniversary of classic “Charmed”, which first hit the air on October 7, 1998. Also scheduled is a panel with on-screen Warren family members TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4, and TBC5.

TBC1 who portrays Prudence, the matriarch of the family, has said, ”My first Comic-Con ever I was really nervous. But I'm glad that I have the support of my cast members. I never dreamed that at my age, I'd be a star at these events."

TBC5, who portrays Phoebe, the youngest Warren, was a little more star-struck being in the same room as other well-known names. "I've gone to these events as a fan, and now I'm being greeted by fans. It's so surreal."

Connie Burge has also teased that the upcoming tribute to the classic series set to air on October 7th is going to be wonderful, as in full of wonder. "Sheryl, Chris, Zack (note: the writers of the series who were also writers for classic “Charmed”.) and I all sat down and we each contributed some to it. But I'm so excited for fans to be able to see the real star power trio together who are the anchors for the hour-long tribute. We’re also happy that fans will get to see pieces of a few of the episode in HD for the first time."

"I haven’t seen them myself, but I've heard the remasters have come out very nicely,” Burge added, sounding very impressed that fans will get a chance to honor their original work that inspired the new series in true magical style.

Also like SDCC, the core cast of “Elemental Charmed” will be on hand at the screening as well as an autograph session at the sprawling Javits Center later that last day of NYCC 2018 at 3 PM ET.

Classic "Charmed’s" 'The Complete First Season's Blu-ray release to be celebrated with a two-day promotional launch!

As The CW mounts a reboot of the long-running fantasy dramedy "Charmed" with the dark fantasy drama, 'Elemental Charmed', CBS Home Entertainment is releasing the original series on Blu-ray for the first time.

The trailer above gives a breakdown of how the quality changed from the standard-definition releases that have been available in the past to the HD release coming soon.

"Charmed" aired for eight seasons on The WB starting in 1998, and starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano as sisters who happened to be witches.

With a brand-new remastered Blu-ray for classic "Charmed", a series reboot, and another high-profile rebooted witch series (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) all coming up soon, it seems there has never been a better time, strategically speaking, to make classic "Charmed" available again. 2018 really is the Season of the Witch!

The first season of the classic "Charmed" series will be having its HD release, appropriately enough, the day before Halloween on October 30.

And to celebrate the launch, fans in LA will be treated to a two-day promotional event on October 29th and 30th.

For the first time since the last episode of classic "Charmed" was filmed, the stars who played three sisters who happened to be witches - Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano - will be appearing onstage together. Despite past problems, all three got along well during the filming of the 20th anniversary special that will but that was in-studio filmed.

Brian Krause, Ted King, Dorian Gregory, Jennifer Rhodes, Finola Hughes, Tyler Layton, Neil Roberts, Leigh-Allyn Baker and Carlos Gomez will be among the other guests appearing at a yet-to-be disclosed location in LA for a launch party to help celebrate the release, with a special signing each day and a press event the day of the release.

Others might have attended, but since the celebration and launch party will only honor the cast and crew involved in the first season, only those were invited. This is especially true of fan favorites Rose McGowan, Julian McMahon and Drew Fuller, but all have shown full support for the upcoming "Elemental Charmed" series on their social media pages, with all three hoping for a chance to appear on the series.

CBS-TV decided on a two day events because some of the guests could only make it for a single day due to previous commitments. The actual schedule be released later, but CBS-TV assured fans that the three stars will be part of both days' events.

"Charmed: the Complete First Season" will be released as a 5-disc set in Blu-Ray on October 30th, 2018.

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching Classic "Charmed"?’

IN A TRIBUTE TO CLASSIC "CHARMED", PHOEBE TRIES A SMART SPELL WHILE A BANSHEE HAUNTS — Phoebe is struggling with one of her classes and has a project due the next day. If she doesn't finish it in time, she will probably fail the class and the semester and have to repeat the whole thing all over again. So she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help. She finds a smart spell in the family book of shadows, and happily casts it, totally forgetting what Prudence taught her - a spell cast to just help herself and not another is bound to backfire.

Meanwhile, it's also the Annual Foodie Event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets to sample new foods from all of the local restaurants. Prudence is in charge of the event this year and has talked Piper into introducing her new restaurant to Salem by hosting one of the booths. Prudence has also invited "Feed Salem's Hungry", one of the not-for-profit organizations where she volunteers, to sponsor the event, so the other members are helping out.

But during the big event, Prudence has a premonition showing a Banshee stalking a woman who has lost her husband. When she sees the woman's son trying to save his mother, she recognizes him as Matthew Tate, who is hosting one of the booths and who has brought his mother with him in hopes that helping him will help bring her out of her massive grief and make her want to live again. This is followed by a second premonition showing Prudence that the Banshee will be at the Foodie Event in disguise, not only stalking Matthew's mother, but also stalking Piper who has been so busy becoming an Elemental Witch, finding a manager to run her restaurant in San Francisco while starting up a new one in Salem that she's never actually grieved father, Victor's death.

After her mother tells Paige about her premonitions, Paige transports home in order to check the family book of shadows for information about Banshees. When she tells Phoebe, who is supposedly studying for her test, and Phoebe just shrugs. All they have to do is go back in the Banshee's history and figure out which unresolved grief issues turned the Banshee into one to begin with. She also tells her how to do this - a certain potion that Phoebe quickly comes up with. Throw it at the Banshee and she'll confess everything.

Knowing there's no way Phoebe could figure all of this on her own, Paige knows something is up. She gets Phoebe to admit to casting the spell, but that it will wear off in an hour and her project is due tomorrow. She then turns back to her project.

Paige reminds her as an Elemental Witch, innocents must come first. Phoebe insists not when it means flunking a class. Paige grabs her and transports them back to the Centre, telling her that if she helps them help the Banshee which won’t only help the Banshee, but also Matthew and his mother *and* Piper, she'll help her with her project.

But the potion requires so many ingredients that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time. Will the Warrens be able to save the Banshee and the Tates and Piper? Will they be able to help Piper take the time to properly mourn her father and will Phoebe learn a lesson about using spells to help herself when despite Paige helping her, Phoebe fails a different class and has to repeat the semester anyway?

A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS-THEMED EPISODE - Celebrating Christmas was always a big part of Piper and Phoebe's lives growing up. Although they always spent Christmas with their grandmother, mother and aunt in Warren Manor in Salem, their late father Victor would always throw on the Sunday before Christmas and although they'd never admit it to their Warren relatives, Victor's were always the best since it was always all about Piper and Phoebe, not the rest of the family. So this Sunday before Christmas - the first time they haven't celebrated Christmas with him - has both of them not wanting to celebrate Christmas at all this year and even have them wanting to ditch the traditional Warren Christmas Eve dinner.

But when the two are off at the mall deciding on gifts for their family, they find a father who has lost touch with his daughters and has one year left before he'll die of cancer. The sisters have to help this man. But when they cast a spell that Phoebe writes, it backfires, sending the two of them on a little journey through time, as they watch the life of this man with them popping in and out of various times of his life. It lets them appreciate Victor even more than they already did, but not just Victor, but also their grandmother, mother and aunt. They finally admit that it's just not right that they spoil Prudence's, Patience's and Paige's Christmas, especially when they know how much Patience is also missing Victor. They decide to throw themselves full-heartedly into Christmas.

Meanwhile Patience is going nuts wondering what happened to her daughter, so to try to keep her mind off of it, she goes back to frantically searching for the perfect gift for her daughters on this first Christmas when they're living in Salem.
She knows that somewhere in the attic, there's an old family video of the last-ever Christmas they spent together before Piper and Phoebe moved away to live with Victor across the country. She considers casting a lost and found spell, but Prudence stops her before she does, even as she presents Patience with the video - it's been in Prudence's rom all this time.

Even as they laugh over this, Paige comes running up, complaining about the spoiled little girl next door. She's been wrecking havoc on the whole neighborhood, trying to ruin Christmas for everyone since she wants her dad to be miserable for divorcing her mother and marrying another woman. This little girl hates her stepmother for the very simple reason that she's not her mother. This time the little girl set fire to the Warrens' backyard and the Warrens had to fight it the old-fashioned way since the witch who has power over the element of water - Piper - isn't around.

The three decide to use a spell to teach this girl the true meaning of Christmas. Even as they do, Piper and Phoebe come back. When they tell the others what they've learned, Patience decides to present the girls with the video and they spend the Sunday before Christmas - the day the girls celebrated Christmas with Victor - watching the video.

Now the Warrens are left struggling to master their new powers, while the two warlocks use their new powers to have one up on the Warrens, since the power of premonitions works in their favor, nearly killing Piper. Will they be able to cast another Power of the Elemental spell to fix this when they only have control of three of the Elements?

”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 TBC4 and TBC5, who play Piper and Phoebe, the youngest members of the Warren family, something we didn't want to do."

TBC1 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 TBC1 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."

Burge relieved panicking fans, announcing that "All of the Warrens 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." Burge 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 the Warrens.

Classic ‘Charmed’ stars Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano to guest star in undisclosed roles for the season finale of “Elemental Charmed”

The former stars of the classic series ‘Charmed’ have both booked guest-starring roles in the series' upcoming season finale set to air May 19th.

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 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 later in April.

Season 1, Episode 17: ‘Two Warrens in a Strange, Strange Land’

WHAT IF MARY ANN AND JENNA'S PARENTS NEVER MADE IT TO AMERICA? — When Piper’s new restaurant makes a national magazine’s List of The Top 100 Best Restaurants, the Warrens gather to celebrate. But as the family toasts Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends them out to rescue an innocent going against three warlocks.

Suddenly a vortex opens up, grabbing Piper and Phoebe and their innocent and plopping them in the middle of a dimension where warlocks rule the dimension, and witches are near extinction. To top it off, all of the warlocks that the Warrens have vanquished throughout time are now very much alive. All of this is because Penelope Warren and her husband Joshua never made it to America alive, but were killed when some warlocks sunk their ship. This means that Mary Ann Warren was never born, which also means the Elemental Witches do not exist.

Back in the original dimension, Paige transports the remaining Warrens home and after some research in their family book of shadows, have come to the conclusion that Piper and Phoebe may be in another dimension. Unfortunately, there is nothing in their book that tells them how to reopen the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper and their innocent are rescued by some of the remaining witches. There they are surprised to when their innocent takes off her glamor to reveal herself as Andrea Halliwell! The two Warrens look at each other in shock.

Andrea explains that in this dimension, it’s her and her twin, Allen – neither of them who have ever married or had children who have been leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time.

She then tells them that in this dimension, the prophecy of the Elemental Witches is an urban myth, but one that she discovered isn’t a myth in a different dimension, so for years, she has been looking for a way into that dimension, so she could bring the Elemental Witches to her dimension, just long enough to help them vanquish the warlocks who have overtaken Salem. Unfortunately her vortex spell wasn’t strong enough to grab all five Warrens, but just two.

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this dimension, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Meanwhile, back in the Warrens’ original dimension, Paige has figured out a way to use her Air powers to transport them to the other dimension and they arrive right after Andrea is killed.

But what will happen when she and the other two find out that they no longer have powers?

But when Patience tells her family about it, both Prudence and Paige laugh it off as nothing but a myth that someone used to make money in films and fiction books, especially because if this witch had truly killed children, the legend would be about a warlock, not a witch. But when Patience tells her family that people have been murdered at the same time in the same place every year, for the last 50 years, the laughter turns into curiosity. They decide to investigate and prove whether this legend is real or not.

To their surprise the Blair Witch isn't a witch or even a warlock at all, but the spirit of a wailing child. This young boy has been haunting the local camp at the same time every year for the past 50 years.

Patience's investigation takes her to a local cabin deep in the woods, where she crosses path with another suspicious female resident in the cabin who vanishes when she enters.

”Elemental Charmed” EP & Writers & Cast On What's to Come

The cast and executive producer of CBS's “Elemental Charmed” made their way to the Dolby Theater in Hollywood for PaleyFest 2020. Before they stepped onstage for a panel discussion led by Entertainment Weekly’s Samantha Highfill, the audience members were treated to a preview screening of the last episodes of the season. Audience members were given a highlights reel of various episodes with 3 minutes of footage, including the beginning of the season finale storyline, which left audience members gasping in surprise.

Sitting onstage were TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4 and TBC5, along with Exec Producer Connie Burge.

While there was no official word on the series' future, currently in its 2nd season, Burge hinted at a strong possibility that a Season Three renewal announcement was on the horizon. When asked about the introduction of story arcs in Season Three as compared to the standalone episodes used in Seasons One and Two , Burge responded, “That we will visit it next season if we get another season. We’re talking about expanding the show into more serialized stories and less episodic.” This made the crowd erupt in cheers, putting a smile on Burge's face.

Also suggesting more seasons to come, when Burge was asked about how she feels the show has done following its move to CBS from The CW last year, she said, “We knew it was a decision that would benefit everyone, and the response has been met with nothing but praise, and CBS is behind us all the way. Right now it's just the normal television procedures on waiting for a renewal, nothing new."

A Season Three renewal would come as no surprise as the series continues to be a sturdy ratings performer — linearly and digitally– for the network. CBS President Charles Smith has stated that the show will carry on as long as the actresses want to do it and this show has so much more to offer. Judging from the exchange of adoration and gratitude for each other and the show during today’s talk (“There are many reasons why I still truly enjoy doing this show. I mean we're only in our second year, the training wheels have come off and we're ready to grow,” said TBC2), it doesn’t seem like the cast is ready to hang up their book of shadows just yet.

Season Three aside, the stars offered some tidbits on what’s to come as the current season wraps production in exactly seven days.

"We have such an incredible storyline to end the season," teased TBC3. "My character Paige is involved in a storyline that really challenges me as an actress."

“Paige is okay,” Burge assured fans. “I think Paige has lots of issues she needs to work out. We have touched on her daughter, and bits and pieces of the backstory surrounding the Warrens and I'm so excited for our third season, of course, if we're picked up. Because if we are, next year would be very much a season of secrets and past revelations and we're hoping to dabble in a little time travel too."

“Fan favorite TBC6, who plays Prudence's sister-in-law Andrea Halliwell, will also be returning next year. With the stories we want to tell and because Andrea doesn't live in Salem, we have to be creative in how we use her. She won't be back for any more episodes this season, but we hope she appears at least once each season. We've had so much fun exploring Philadelphia this season, and it was really fun to do several episodes that included Warrens in Salem at the same time other Warrens were in Philadelphia. But I'm most excited to see more of her. But I'm most excited to see more of her, I just never want to make the mistake of overusing her. The story is always going to star the five Elemental Warrens. That is what will always be the most important part of our series.

Back on the show's upcoming season finale storyline, the preview reel showed what appears to be our usually very calm Patience becoming very aggressive over the smallest disagreement with her mother Prudence. Also in the reel was a very different Paige who was not her usual self. The reel then showed these two Warrens collapsing on the floor, with Prudence frantically flipping through their family book of shadows. There were various clips from other episodes, but these clips proved to be the most talked about.

Burge teased, "There is a very good reason for the way Paige and Patience are acting. Let's just say we're going to be introducing a new villain who will be a big part of the storyline and the Warrens are going to be mixing with warlocks like never before. Something we haven't done so far in the series. I'm really looking forward to it. Because it will be a life and death situation that won't just affect just the Warrens - it will bring all witches and warlocks together like never before".

“Elemental Charmed” airs Sundays on CBS.

CBS-TV Renews “Elemental Charmed” for Third Season

“Elemental Charmed” will be returning, proving that third time's a charm. The third season renewal will again be for an order of 22 episodes, just like the previous

The series renewal was considered a no-brainer. Having moved from The CW to CBS, many were very nervous. But CBS-TV President Charles Smith stated, "The show has done very well this year, and been a sturdy ratings performer — linearly and digitally – for the network. I'm thrilled that the cast and crew of “Elemental Charmed” will be back to tell more great stories and continuing the magic."

Burge said the announcement came as no surprise since CBS has supported them and backed up and believed in them. 'Although I was still was very much in that 1% of doubt, I knew it was just a normal television procedure. I'm very excited to get back into the writing room and for us to start plotting Season Three. Because I know Sheryl and Paul have been itching to write a particular storyline for some time. But we just didn't think earlier was the right time to do it."

Sheryl J. Anderson and Paul Ruditis wrote the original pilot, along with the Season One finale and Season Two premiere and are scheduled to write the Season Two finale, so they would be expected to write the Season Three premiere.

TBC5, who plays Phoebe, was very happy to hear about the renewal. "When I got the call, the first thing I did was tell my mother, who I know is a big fan, having watched every episode of the classic series while I was still much too young to watch until I saw her DVDs as a teen. But she's since followed this series and has always been my number one supporter. She's the one who encouraged me to audition for this series."

The news comes one week following the show's trip to PaleyFest 2020, which previewed a highlight reel with upcoming storylines, and teased a life-and-death situation could rock the Warrens forever.

“Elemental Charmed” airs Sundays on CBS and stars TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4, and TBC5 with Constance M. Burge as executive producer.

The second season finale is set to air on Sunday, May 17, 2020.

Season 2, Episode 16: 'The Isaac Flower'

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 family 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.

Season 2, Episode 21: ’Will their Powers Wither?'(Part One)'

THE START OF THE TWO-PART SEASON FINALE —It’s summer and, surprisingly, the Warrens have continue their lives without any supernatural interferences. Phoebe has been interning at a local Salem newspaper; Patience and Paige are on their annual summer leave from work and are spending a month together in Florida. Piper is in the process of hiring a new manager after her old one decided to start one of her own, and as usual, Prudence spends her time in her garden when she’s not at a number of not-for-profit organization.

But when Patience and Paige return from their vacation, something is very different about them – both are usually the most level-minded, gentle people you’d know, but now Patience, of all people, is having violent tendencies and Paige is being aggressive over the smallest disagreement. To top it off, when attempting to rescue an innocent from a warlock, both Patience and Paige act like they don't care, and when it’s time to use their powers, both of them can’t use them properly.

Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe wonder if they truly just don't care and are faking it, or something else happened on the vacation to cause the change. The three manage to save the innocent without being able to vanquish the warlock. But when they return home (and they have to walk since Paige can’t/won’t transport them), both Patience and Paige collapse on the floor.

Prudence rushes to treat them, but one look and she hurries to the family book of shadows and confirms her suspicions: Wither Pox. This very rare virus doesn’t affect non-magicals but weakens a witch’s or a warlock’s powers over time so that eventually the powers cease to exist. The book also explains that the more their powers weaken, the more they will show very violent or aggressive tendencies, which usually leads to them killing the people they love. The book adds that nobody has been able to figure out how Wither Pox is transmitted from one witch or warlock to another.

Later, the warlock they were trying to stop shows up at the Manor with two members of her warlock coven. The other members explain that she’s showing early signs of Wither Pox and when they found out that Patience’s and Paige’s powers didn’t work, they figured that they were the source, but won’t tell how or why they know. Now the warlock coven wants to make an alliance with the Warrens to find a potion that will stop Wither Pox from destroying all witches and warlocks forever. But in order to do that, both parties must agree to try to destroy the other.

Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe exchange glances. They know that they can’t trust a warlock, especially a coven of them, but the look that Prudence gives her granddaughter tells them that she knows of no way to save her daughters. So the three of them are left with a choice: Do they work with a coven of warlocks or do they vanquish them anyway and try to find another solution?

Season 2, Episode 22: ’Will their Powers Wither?' (Part Two)'

WILL THE WARRENS’ DECISION COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM? — Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe have decided to make a temporary alliance (although, of course, they will never totally trust them) with their warlock foes in the hopes that all sides can find a antivirus that will cure Wither Pox.

The first step is for the Warrens to find out how Patience and Paige were first infected while the warlock coven tries to find the source of the disease. Wanting to find out what her daughters know, Prudence has Piper make a potion that will numb Patience’s and Paige’s pain. Piper warns her grandmother and sister that it potion will only last so long before the effects take over, but Prudence says that’s okay, since they only need a little time.

After hearing how Patience and Paige tried to vanquish a demoness who was harming an innocent and then they started feeling strange, Prudence realizes their enemy is the Demoness of Destruction. Phoebe is all set to hurry off to Florida and force the Demoness of Destruction to reveal how to stop the virus, especially when the warlock coven arrives, announcing that they have discovered where the demoness is – on an island off of Florida – the Warrens never would’ve found her on their own.

But Prudence wants to stay behind so she can tend to her daughters by keeping them sedated so they won’t harm anyone, and Piper and Phoebe don’t want to leave her alone, especially because she’ll also be tending the sick warlock – part of the deal. So because Prudence needs Piper to continue to make the sedation potion, Phoebe agrees to accompany one of the warlocks to Florida.

This warlock has the power to transport, which is very similar to Paige’s, the reason he was chosen. He transports Phoebe and himself to an island near Florida that the warlocks have used their powers to track the Demoness, while Prudence and Piper and the other warlock stay behind to tend to Patience, Paige and the sick warlock.

Upon arriving in Florida, they find the Demoness of Destruction but that’s when Phoebe finds out she’s been double-crossed and this is a trap – the warlock coven previously made an alliance with the Demoness in hopes of just saving the warlock race while eliminating all witches forever. Now even if Prudence finds a way to save her daughters, Phoebe’s death would mean the demoness and the warlock wouldn’t have to worry about the Elemental Witches stopping them. When Phoebe points out that if Wither Pox destroys all witches, it will also destroy all warlocks, the Demoness starts laughing. She explains that when a witch becomes a warlock, the witch's DNA is changed, just like it's changed when a warlock becomes a witch, and Wither Pox affects the DNA. She has an antivirus that will cure warlock DNA but not witch's DNA, the reason why the Demoness concocted the Pox to begin with.

Meanwhile Prudence receives a premonition of Phoebe’s death, but when she tries to phone her granddaughter to warn her, she gets no answer.

Will Prudence and Piper find a cure so they can use Paige’s transportation power to go save Phoebe, or will the warlocks succeed in wiping out all witches forever?

”Elemental Charmed” Reveals First-Look Photos of classic Charmed Stars in Guest Star Roles.

Shannen Doherty (Jenna) and Alyssa Milano (Mary Ann) are shown in a heated argument in what appears to be the Salem Witch Trials, in newly-released photos from the Season 2 premiere (airing Sunday, Oct. 13 on CBS).

"Since the relationship between Mary Ann and Jenna Warren is a big part of the first episode of Season Two, we wasted no time exploring just what went down during the Witch Trials, and how Mary Ann died,” “Elemental Charmed” executive producer Constance M. Burge noted, adding that the first episode of the new season “really explore” what drove these two sisters to go from best friends to bitter enemies.

“You'll find out right away just who has taken possession of Prudence, and we waste no time resolving the cliffhanger,” Burge shared. “I really love how Sheryl and Paul tied in the past and the present. Sheryl did that so well with the episodes she wrote for classic Charmed - many are fan favorites, that I was thrilled when she suggested doing it again for our first cliffhanger and Season Two premiere.”

“It’s challenging to write episodes when you know you have such a star power duo like Shannen and Alyssa, because both were such a fundamental part of the classic “Charmed” series,” noted Paul Ruditis, who wrote both the two-part episode that ended Season One and concludes in Season Two's opening episode with Sheryl J. Anderson.


On getting to film alongside Doherty again, Milano replied, "Getting to work again with Shannen was such a wonderful experience, especially since I hadn't seen them since we filmed classic “Charmed” way back in 2001. When we filmed our parts for the season finale, we went right back into it as if nothing has changed. But we've both grown so much over the years, and it showed in our approach to acting. We've both gained new experiences and insights. Although this was our second episode together, it was right back to business as usual, without the formal re-introductions we had filming the season finale back in April."

Doherty remarked to the press on how much fun she had with her new character: “But it’s also exciting for Alyssa and me to have the opportunity to play around with these new characters. I really couldn't be happier with Jenna's character. She's exactly the type of character I love to play, but never really got to play as Prue Halliwell. I'm so excited that Connie let Alyssa and me be a part of “Elemental Charmed” for these two episodes."

TBC3, who grew up in the '80s and '90s watching shows that Milano and Doherty starred in, said she was so nervous when the two came onto the set back in April. "When they first came onto the set, I was speechless, unable to figure out what's the first thing I should say. I looked over at TBC2 and went, 'Can you believe who's on set?'

TBC2 laughed. 'I looked at her and was sure she was about to pass out. So I greeted them first and TBC3 actually called Shannen 'Prue' and we all laughed and that broke the ice and after that we were all fine."

Burge noted that she hasn't decided if they will reappear in any more episodes. "We just plotted these two episodes to close out Season One and open Season Two. I haven't closed the door completely. But I don't want them to steal the attention of our stars, and they made it clear that neither do they, remembering how that happened during classic “Charmed”. I don't see them returning any more than one or two times a season."

Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano will appear in the first episode of the second season to kickstart its move to CBS-TV from The CW on Sunday, Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019. The series will still air at 8-9 PM Eastern, just like it did on The CW, so fans who still want to watch 'Supergirl' on The CW can.

”Elemental Charmed” Exec Producer Breaks Down Finale Cliffhanger and Teases What's to Come

The following contains spoilers from the Season Two finale of CBS-TV's “Elemental Charmed”

A year ago we saw “Elemental Charmed” prepare to leave The CW for CBS-TV, and no one knew how that would work out. Come one year later, and the show has gained so much success and already has a third season in the works. But in the Season Two cliffhanger, three of the Warrens' lives hung in the balance, since they were infected with the Wither Pox virus, leaving Piper and Prudence suffering the worst of times. Fans everywhere wondered if this was a flashback to classic “Charmed's” Season Three finale which saw Prue and Piper Halliwell dying while Phoebe was trapped in the Underworld and led to the departure of Shannen Doherty. The fans worried that last season's cliffhanger would mean the departure of another beloved star, this time Phoebe Warren in “Charmed’s” reboot “Elemental Charmed”.

Here, “Elemental Charmed’s” executive producer, Connie Burge, talks about the how she and writers Sheryl J. Anderson, Paul Ruditis, Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin constructed what will be the show's first major story arc of the series and just how it went from being a standard two-part season finale/season premiere into one huge plotline that will carry into next season.


DEADLINE | First things first, talk about the decision to end the season of “Elemental Charmed” like that with the fate of Phoebe a mystery...

Look, my main job as executive producer is to keep people coming back. So when we planned our first season, we ended on a cliffhanger, and we hoped to do that again this season. Leaving the fate of Phoebe up in the air was the perfect way to do that, along with getting viewers to wonder if Patience and Paige will keep their powers or lose them to Wither Pox. It was just that the story Sheryl, Paul and I were telling went from being the Season Two finale to both the Season Two finale/Season Three premiere, and then Chris and Zach came up with a whole web of stories, so now we have a whole storyline going into Season Three.

We always talked about potentially turning the series from episodic to serialized starting with our third season, just like what happened on classic “Charmed”. The point of our first couple seasons was to introduce our five Warrens, let viewers get to know them and their powers and their jobs by doing all of our wonderful standalones with them, but then branch out and build on the mythology. This will let us do that.


DEADLINE | So you are saying you are ditching the episodic element for good.

No. No. No. I won't kill what obviously has worked so well for us. The episodic stories will still have a place on our show. We're just going to find a way to mold both together and expand on having more episodes that connect from one episode to the next.


DEADLINE | Let's move on to the Wither Pox virus that is affecting both witches and warlocks. Everyone wants to know how Patience and Paige caught the virus. Will we find out how it's transmitted from one person to another?

Yes. That is something you will definitely find out, but I warn that it's a question that won't be resolved until we return for Season Three. When Sheryl and Paul were plotting the two-parter, it was originally going to be revealed during the second half of our two-parter. But when Chris and Zach came up with the idea of extending it into a full story arc and they came up with all sorts of ideas of what we could do with it, we decided that if we're going to be turning this into a much bigger story arc that runs through multiple episodes, we wouldn't want to reveal everything so soon.


DEADLINE | What was it like watching Patience and Paige act so unlike the level-minded and gentle people we've all come to know and love?

We knew when we created the Wither Pox virus that it would have side effects, and I knew that it had to have consequences for our Elemental Witches. Patience having violent tendencies and Paige being aggressive over the smallest disagreement with her family, that they almost risk killing their innocent was the perfect way to do it. And TBC2 and TBC3 were simply amazing while having the times of their lives playing totally different characters. When I saw the dailies in the editing room, I couldn't be more happy with what they did with it.

DEADLINE | What can we expect to see when we return in Season Three? Can you give us three words to describe the first episode of Season Three?

Deadly! Horrifying! Unthinkable!


DEADLINE | Lastly, three bits of housekeeping: First and most important to a lot of fans: Are Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano returning?

(laughs) You guys will keep hounding me to bring them back. (becomes serious) We've talked about possibly finding a way to work them in once a season. We already had them in two episodes: the end of Season One and the start of Season Two. It will be a question we'll talk more about when breaking Season Three in the writer's room when we go back to work. But it isn't something we want to do just because it's Shannen and Alyssa; we want it to feel when the story is right for Mary Ann and Jenna Warren to appear.

DEADLINE | Second: Will there be a time jump when we return in Season Three? So many fans didn't like how classic “Charmed” did a time jump from the end of Season Three to Season Four. To this day there are fans who think there's a scene or two missing. Will that happen here on “Elemental Charmed”?

No. Just like we did when we went from Season One's cliffhanger to Season Two's season premiere, we'll pick up right where we left off in Season Two. We have no intention nor does it make sense to jump forward. We're in the midst of a virus that is spreading among witches and warlocks and Phoebe might be dying. I'd like to think we'd show you everything.

DEADLINE | Finally, will the fate of Phoebe be left hanging for too long?

I will leave this interview with one definite truth and that is that Phoebe's fate will be addressed almost immediately when Season Three begins. We wouldn't want to leave our viewers hanging for much longer than that. I won't spoil it and tell you what her fate will be, but yes, you will find out what happened to her.

'Elemental Charmed" was renewed for a third season last month and is expected to premiere sometime in the fall, probably October.

Season 3, Episode 1: 'How Will We Survive Our Summer Vacation with a Virus, a Demoness of Destruction, Warlocks, and a Missing Warren?'

PHOEBE’S FATE IS REVEALED AND WILL ANDREA MAKE THE ULTIMATE CHOICE? In an island off of the coast of Florida, inside an old abandoned cabin, the Demoness of Destruction smiles down at Phoebe. We can't tell if she's just unconscious or if she's already dead. We can tell that the warlock with the transporting power is now dead, showing that the Demoness is not one to be ever be trusted.

Back in Salem, Andrea finally arrives and reveals she has been dealing with a similar outbreak of Wither Pox in Philadelphia, and the powers of one of the witches in her own coven have already ceased to exist. The remaining uninfected members of the coven have gone into hiding. Prudence and Piper reveal that they are still unable to contact Phoebe and are worried silly.

With time running out for Patience and Paige and the infected warlock to lose their powers, the Demoness of Destruction arrives with the cure. She first uses it to cure the infected warlock, then turns to the Warrens. She refuses to reveal Phoebe's fate, but only offers the Warrens a chance to cure Patience and Paige - but only if the entire family become warlocks by killing an innocent. If they do that, she'll also let them find Phoebe - either alive or dead.

No Warren would ever agree to those terms, so after warning them that their refusal has sealed their family's fate, the Demoness shimmers out, followed by the two warlocks transporting out as do the two warlocks.

Moments later Patience sits up and then jumps up from the couch, aggressively demanding that they go find and rescue her daughter. As she storms towards the door, the only way Piper can think to stop her is to form a low-power energy ball and throw it at her mother. It only knocks Patience down without actually hurting her. In anger, Paige jumps up, helps Patience up, glares at Piper and then teleports the two out, even though she knows that using her power will just hasten her losing it. But it's a risk Paige is willing to make since Wither Pox has affected her so badly that she's not thinking straight.

To top it off, no sooner are they gone than Piper starts showing signs of being infected with Wither Pox. This is when the Warrens realize that if you use your power against someone who's affected with Wither Pox, you yourself become infected.

Just when Prudence doesn't think things can get worse, they do. She receives her the most horrifying premonition of her life - again she sees Phoebe's death, but this time she sees Patience is the the one who killed her while Paige watches!

Prudence and Piper know they must put their heads together and find a cure for witches as soon as possible - but will they succeed in time to save their family?

Season 3, Episode 2: 'The Search for Phoebe Warren'

CAN PRUDENCE AND AN INFECTED PIPER STOP PATIENCE FROM DOING THE UNTHINKABLE? — Patience and Paige arrive in Florida, starting their hunt to find Phoebe. Paige can feel that she's at the very end of her powers, and one more time transporting will most likely make them cease to exist.

It takes a while with a lot of false leads, but they finally locate the cabin and confront the Demoness of Destruction, who doesn't even try to stop them from saving Phoebe. Both Patience and Paige are so affected by Wither Pox that they don't even wonder why.

When Phoebe awakens, she is so very happy to see her mother and aunt. But when Paige sees the Demoness holding a vial, her new aggressive nature caused by Wither Pox takes over. Hands clawed, ready to scratch the Demoness' eyes out, she rushes towards her, and when Phoebe tries to freeze the Demoness, the Demoness drops the vial, breaking it. Smirking, the Demoness of Destruction shimmers out. Paige yells at Phoebe for ruining everything; Patience yells at Paige for yelling at her daughter and a huge argument breaks out with Phoebe trying to settle them down, but that only makes the argument worse.

Back at the Manor, Prudence, Piper (now affected) and Andrea are frantically flipping through the family book of shadows, they come up with the idea that because it affects a witch's DNA, that if the witch strips her powers completely, which would still keep her with a witch's DNA since that never changes regardless if they strip away their powers or not, could be the cure - but it has to be an unaffected witch.

Andrea decides that if they have any hope of finding a cure, she'll be the test subject because no Elemental Witch should give up her powers to do so.

Will this cure work long enough for them to save Phoebe's life and stop Patience from accidentally killing her own daughter, or will it just needlessly strip Andrea of her powers?

Season 3, Episode 15: 'A Very Warren Valentine'

A SPECIAL VALENTINE'S DAY EPISODE — It's that time of year when boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives all go that extra length to do something nice for their special someone. Both Phoebe and Paige are without dates, although Paige just isn't in the mood this year, especially given her track record with men, and her recent. She's busy working on an SSS case and doesn't want to be interrupted.

Then the day before Valentine's Day, there's a massive crisis at Piper's old restaurant and because she's busy organizing a Valentine's Day event at her Salem restaurant and she's also two staff members down, she has to send her boyfriend Matthew Tate to San Francisco to try to fix the problem. She's very bummed that she won't be able to spend their first Valentine's Day as boyfriend/girlfriend together, but she knows this is more important and as he tells her, there will be plenty of Valentine's Days in their future.

But both Phoebe and Paige decide that if neither of them can find happiness with a guy this year, they want at least one Warren to have a special day. So Paige transports Phoebe to San Francisco and it's she who helps solve the problems there, while Paige transports Matthew back to Salem.

Meanwhile, Prudence and Patience visit the cemetery, wanting to be closer to Allen and Victor on this special day. But as they arrive, they find another woman placing flowers on Allen's grave. Deciding not to rush over, they over-hear the woman talk about coming to the grave at least once a year for being so very important to her.

This shocks and worries Prudence - Allen had a life she never knew about and that he never told her about?  Patience can't stand seeing her mother so upset, so she takes her by the hand and marches her over to the grave and in a very un-Patience-like manner, she tells this woman exactly who Prudence is - she even points out the fact that there are two names on that gravestone, and the one with only a birthdate is Prudence Warren. That's when the woman smiles and tells them not to be concerned - it was always Prudence who Allen loved, but one night at a bar, he helped convince her to not give up on love to her now deceased husband, and she, in turn, helped convince Allen that he shouldn't let go of Prudence despite her premonitions of becoming the matriarch of the Elemental Witches and all the dangers that would ensue.  

But nothing comes without another matter needing the Elemental Witches' help. No sooner does Prudence hug this woman to thank her while Patience apologizes than Prudence is hit with a premonition. Without realizing it, a local shop is selling a supposed love potion that makes a couple of innocents go on a rampage. Piper's the one who helps them realize that they shouldn't worry about the future, and try and make what happens in the present count. She knows this from experience because Matthew has told her that he's falling in love with the boss.  And since that's not a good idea, while in San Francisco, he took another job offer that will keep him on the road.  He'll visit her often, but...

Season 4, Episode 3: 'The Hauntings of the Joshua Ward House...'

HAPPY(?) HALLOWEEN, WARRENS! - It's Halloween time in Salem and the town has a festive celebration each year, which features a cornucopia of Halloween-like experiences from Family Film Nights to ghost tours and haunted houses. But the Warren family discover that this Halloween will be anything but just a normal day of celebrations - it's actually a trap.

When the veil between worlds thin on Halloween, the spirits of both Sheriff George ‘The Strangler’ Corwin and Giles Cory return, coming back for revenge against witches. They haunt the former Joshua Ward House, now a hotel that has been transformed into a haunted house theme for the Halloween night. Sheriff George sets a siren that will lure any witch into the hotel, and once they're there, they can't leave. He's determined to traps all witches inside the hotel and then burn down the hotel, which will also free his and Cory's spirits.

As the Warrens struggle to fight off the spirit of Sheriff Corwin, a third spirit, a female who died on the property makes herself known. The spirits of Mary Ann and Jenna Warren (special guest stars Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty) make the scene crossing through the veil between worlds. The Warrens think they're back in order to help their descendants out. Unfortunately, Jenna is there to make things worse instead of better.

Season 4, Episode 5: 'The Roaring Twenties Over and Over and Over Again!'

AN ANTIQUE CAMERA, AN EVERLASTING TIME LOOP AND A MYSTERY IN THE 1920s — During the summer, Phoebe has been interning at a local Salem newspaper. On the first day of her last week before she returns to school, her editor offers her a challenge: if she comes up with a killer article before the end of the week, she'll put it on the cover. Phoebe knows that putting a cover on her resume woul work wonders when she goes job-hunting after she earns her degree in a few years, besides ensuring her another chance at interning the following summer.

She decides to do her article on the history of Salem – the good parts of Salem rather than the witch trials that most Americans know about. She even begs her mother for the use one of her old antique cameras to capture the style of an old-time photo to go along with her article. Patience doesn’t want anyone but her to use the camera but agrees to help her daughter by taking the pictures herself. But when Phoebe directs her to take a photo in downtown Salem and Patience snaps the shuttle, both Patience and Phoebe literally disappear into thin air, leaving behind the camera.

When they find themselves taking a similar picture, except back in the 1920’s, suddenly they find themselves back in the 2020’s, unable to prevent themselves from doing this yet again. They realize that they are stuck in an everlasting time loop with no way of stopping it.

Elsewhere, as the family prepares to enjoy their weekly family dinner at Piper’s restaurant, Prudence, Paige and Piper become worried when Patience and Phoebe do not show up. The three Warrens eventually find the camera, and when Prudence touches the camera, she gets a premonition of the past, which shows Patience and Phoebe in the 20s. Realizing that Prudence never sees the past, but only the future, they realize that Patience and Phoebe are caught in an everlasting time loop. This is especially true when Patience and Phoebe suddenly return, take the picture and then disappear.

The other three Warrens hurry home, heading straight to their book of shadows for both answers. They find a way to break the everlasting loop which will let them rescue Patience and Phoebe, but it can only be done by making Patience and Phoebe stay and experience the Roaring 20’s past midnight, and that can only happen if they can get the camera away from Patience so she can’t take a picture in the past. Only then will they be returned to their own time and be able to stay. But the only Warren who can freeze molecules is Phoebe…

Prudence, Patience and Paige arrive to celebrate the twins’ birthday, both Andrea’s in Philadelphia and Prudence’s husband Allen’s on the other side. Through her element of Spirit, Prudence senses something off, but can’t quite figure out what it is.

Meanwhile, back in Salem, Piper and Phoebe are dealing with a personal crisis of their own. Thinking of their grandfather on his birthday, they remember Patience telling them of a special chalice used in their grandparents’ wedding and that had come down through Allen’s family, but has since been lost. The sisters cast a lost and found spell, but just like the spell cast in Philadelphia, it backfires in a big way.

Comic-Con: “Elemental Charmed” to End With Season Five after One Hundred Episodes

It's official: CBS-TV's “Elemental Charmed” will end with its upcoming fifth season.

The news, announced Saturday at Comic-Con, comes after stars TBC1 and TBC2 previously signaled that the end of the series was in sight.

Executive Producer Connie Burge made the announcement Saturday during the show's annual trek to San Diego Comic-Con, though the decision to wrap the series she created comes as little surprise.

Talk of ending the series has been a much-talked-about question among the writer's room for some time. Burge told the press, "We mapped out a four or five-year plan for the series after we got picked up for a second season and moved to CBS. But the only question on our minds was exactly how much story we had in us. We didn't want to keep on going when we dried up all the plots we could make."

Stars TBC1 and TBC2 had signaled that the end of the drama was in sight. Both actors had previously indicated their plans to do one last season of the series, and indicated the idea of a possible half-season order for the fifth season is what got a couple of the stars of the show to sign beyond the original four-year-contract they all signed for when the series was first picked up back in 2018.

"We all have discussed it and we've made the decision that this is it," Burge told fans Saturday. "This is going to be the final season of “Elemental Charmed”. It's bittersweet and emotional and we're all going to be crying in a minute. It's been a beautiful run.... Get ready, because it's going to be a very crazy and wild ride for these final episodes."

The final season will be a shortened one, consisting of 12 episodes, bringing the series to a total of 100 episodes. The show returns Sunday, September 11th at 8 p.m. Production is expected to begin on Monday, August 8th, 2022. It's a little later than usual. Due to the shortened order, they will be able to be more flexible, and the other two stars, TBC4 and TBC5, are still busy shooting movies.

”Elemental Charmed has meant so much to so many fans around the world and has meant so much to all of us at CBS,” Charles Smith, network president of CBS-TV, said in a release shortly after the news broke at Comic-Con.“I’m a huge fan of the show myself, and I’ve seen every episode. The relationship and bond between these five stars have been such a blessing. So I am very happy that we can give Connie and her writers the chance to finish their story the way they have envisioned, and to give viewers a fantastic conclusion to five spectacular seasons.”

Saturday's Comic-Con panel ended with a sweet video tribute and Burge's final message to fans: "Thank you for joining us on the ride with these five amazing women, and I cannot wait to close the doors on the Elemental Witches for this final stretch of 12 episodes."

Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano set to return for “Elemental Charmed”s final season

Following the news last weekend at Comic-Con that “Elemental Charmed” was coming to an end with one more season, it has now been officially confirmed that fans can expect to see Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano reprise their roles of Jenna and Mary Ann Warren one more time in the final season, which starts production for the final season on Monday, August 8th, 2022. Both Doherty and Milano will appear in the opening episode of Season 5 to kickstart the beginning of the final 12 episodes of ”Elemental Charmed” which will premiere on September 11th, 2022.

It comes as no surprise since both actresses have previously made guest appearances on the series once every season, usually either opening or ending a season. It was only a matter of signing them both and securing them at the same time.

Executive producer Connie Burge revealed, "I wanted to announce this at Comic-Con last weekend, but the announcement of our show ending, we wanted to make sure that we were taking a second to reflect on our show's legacy and let that sink in and let our fans prepare for goodbye, before we went and revealed the returning faces for the last season".

Doherty later spoke about her return and the series’ ending in a recent press interview: "I'm excited to come back one last time to “Elemental Charmed”. I've enjoyed being a part of this amazing series, and I'm so proud of the work Connie, the writers, and the cast have produced over the years. Alyssa and I have enjoyed getting to play the parts of Mary Ann and Jenna. So I'm looking forward to our return."

Milano also made a comment referring to the series ending: "I'm sad to see this show ending since I've enjoyed popping in and out of the series for the few years, but I'm excited that Shannen and I will get a chance once again to appear in the first episode of a season, in this case, the final season.”

Burge didn't reveal any hints about what role the two will play, but did add that she’s certain that fans will think waiting will be worth it. She also hinted at the possibility of the two actors might make cameos in the final episode, to be aired on Sunday, February 16, 2023, but only quick cameos since she wants the final episode to revolve around the “Elemental Charmed” actors.

Having discovered the truth behind Peyton and Andrea, the family hopes to be able to use this to convince everyone that it wasn’t Piper who killed Bridget. But will this mean putting Andrea in prison when it was Peyton who actually murdered Bridget?

During the trial, the Warrens’ ancestors Mary Ann (special guest star Alyssa Milano) and Jenna (special guest star Shannen Doherty) show up, pretending to be cousins, but actually there to expose some unexpected Warren history which reveals something shocking about Jenna and Peyton - something the Warrens never imagined.

Piper is found guilty, but to everyone's surprise, Mary Ann and Jenna's revelations lead Peyton to visit Piper in her prison cell and make an expected offer, one that might grant Piper her freedom, but in doing so, might destroy the Warren line forever by exposing them all as witches.

As the Warrens search the ship for the Demoness, she gains control of the birthday girl.

Back on the cruise ship, Prudence has a premonition that reveals more to the demoness that it does to her – what happened during Prudence and Allen’s honeymoon many decades ago, something Prudence has tried hard to keep secret. But what will happen if the Demoness reveals the secret?

PRUDENCE: My first press release. Wish me luck. I have no idea how it will turn out. Won't surprise me, I end up with massive edits - because this is a first for me. 

Thanks, Pheebs for how you get inspired for stories. I found one to help me basing it around Salem's Convention Centre that hosts so many events all the time it seems.

Feel free to change the villain as you please, I'll get there when I feel better at doing more press releases but not the best with original villains guys. If you can creatively come up with someone else if you think this doesn't work, by all means. I'm not good with titles, so feel free to edit it too if you wish.

SUMMER: I'm so glad you decided to give it a try, Prudence and I inspired you with finding something in Salem that could work for the story. 

PHEEBS: I'm so happy to see you decided to give it a go like Sasha did before.

ESMERALDA: I'm also very glad that you decided to give this a try, Prudence - I hope it inspires others to do the same! Now I look forward to seeing what you came up with.

PRUDENCE: Can't wait to see what you all thought. 

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

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘The Painful Heartaches of Lonely Hearts in Salem’
 
TBD — It's the annual foodie's event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets excited to explore all the local food. Piper is hosting her own food stand and Prudence has invited some of the women from one of her not-for-organizations she volunteers to the event which she is also a volunteer for this year.

Eventually, Prudence has a premonition that has the two trying to save an innocent, and a young man named Matthew who has a vendors stand at the event too but returned home to Salem to also be with his mother Louisa in her time of need for a little while, following the death of his father. But soon they learn that a Banshee is stalking his mother, due to her massive grief, and it is a person somewhere at the foodie's event in disguise. But it also comes after Piper who has some unresolved grief issues regarding her father, Victor.

Elsewhere, Phoebe is struggling in one of her classes and is worried she will fail the semester before summer breaks out in under 2 months, that she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help, before casting a smart spell. Later when Patience and Paige realize what she has done, Phoebe lets them know the spell will wear off in 48 hours. Eventually, Phoebe learns a valuable lesson, to trust her own instincts and smarts, and realizes she never needed to smart spell to pass, she just needed to figure out whatever was bothering her and giving her a roadblock.

While her smart spell is still in effect, Phoebe manages to help her family I.D the Banshee at the foodie's event in record time, but then the Banshee then decides to go after Piper shapeshifting into her father, in order to draw out the other Warrens. Phoebe eventually learns that in order to vanquish the Banshee, they must learn more about her history including her unresolved issues with her own parents and how she became a Banshee, to begin with. Which has Phoebe wanting to cast a spell with a potion to make two of the Warrens appear as her supposed parent's ghosts to get her to confess to their deaths, in order to move on?

But the said potion and spell is running out of time to be made and cast, and requires so many ingredients, that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time and the Warren's will fail at being able to get rid of the Banshee for good?

As others say, edit, re-edit or ask some questions?

SUMMER: I might change the title just to not reflect just Louisa, make it about both him and his mother. The Banshee ends up going after the others I reckon, and I think she should target both Matthew and his mother, before going after the Warren's with unresolved stuff to do with Victor.

Hope you don't mind, I went ahead and changed the title and the episode number and date. I think placing it as episode 9 might work, so some of those wounds the Warren family feel for Victor's death are still sorta fresh. Unless you placed it as episode 19, to fit in with some event in Salem for a reason?

I just thought it would be nice if we had S1's first 16 episodes all filled in now. 

Great first effort Prudence. 

EDIT: Just realized that by moving it to episode 9, Phoebe's story changes slightly as she wouldn't be falling behind to finish the school year now close to Summer. So she'd have to just be falling behind in a certain class maybe? Unless we take out Phoebe's smart spell plot and leave it for late in S1, and find another story for the other Warren's. If you think this is too much, change it back to episode 19, Prudence. 

ESMERALDA: Actually Season 1, Episode 9 would be right before our Christmas episode, so that means Phoebe is near the end of the first semester, so this still works fine.

PRUDENCE: Perfect. That's fine.

------------------------------

PHEEBS: Unless she taps into some unresolved issues that have been buried for many months, and it comes out now. So we can still keep it as episode 19, and not need to move it to 9. Although I would feel satisfied that we have 16 straight completed press releases for S1 from episode 1 to 16. The placement isn't really an issue. 

Good job putting it together. But I agree with Summer, that we should have it focusing on the two of them not just have her target his mother. Let it be the two of them or even just Matthew.

Might need some proofing though. But a great first effort, Prudence. 

RUTH: Good job! I think making it about Matthew or both might be better as an innocent.

ESMERALDA: Oh, changing it so we introduce Matthew in Season One is a great idea! I actually like this as coming out sooner rather than later for a number of reasons:

1) It continues to show the Warrens mourning Victor despite them becoming the Elemental Witches

2) It allows Phoebe to be in school and use the smart spell - I loved its use in Classic Charmed, and also love it here - nothing says we can't reuse ideas from Classic Charmed, as a tribute to Classic Charmed.

3) We don't have a Season One, Episode Nine yet and I think this fits there perfectly!

So here's my edit (not sure what Foodie events are like in Salem, so I based my event on the ones we have here in Minneapolis).

PRUDENCE: That makes sense Es. That's what I thought. We ain't remaking The Painted World or Look Who's Barking. I like the tributes. Besides a Banshee is a Banshee. Charmed isn't the first to use one. 

Look forward to your edits.

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

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching Classic "Charmed"?’

In A TRIBUTE TO CLASSIC "CHARMED", PHOEBE TRIES A SMART SPELL WHILE A BANSHEE HAUNTS — Phoebe is struggling with one of her classes and has a project due the next day. If she doesn't finish it in time, she will probably fail the class and the semester and and have to repeat the whole thing all over again. So she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help. She finds a smart spell in the family book of shadows, and happily casts it, totally forgetting what Prudence taught her - a spell cast to just help herself and not another is bound to backfire.

Meanwhile, it's also the Annual Foodie Event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets to sample new foods from all of the local restaurants. Prudence is in charge of the event this year and has talked Piper into introducing her new restaurant to Salem by hosting one of the booths. Prudence has also invited "Feed Salem's Hungry", one of the not-for-profit organizations where she volunteers, to sponsor the event, so the other members are helping out.

But during the big event, Prudence has a premonition showing a Banshee stalking a woman who has lost her husband. When she sees the woman's son trying to save his mother, she recognizes him as Matthew Tate, who is hosting one of the booths and who has brought his mother with him in hopes that helping him will help bring her out of her massive grief and make her want to live again. This is followed by a second premonition showing Prudence that the Banshee will be at the Foodie Event in disguise, not only stalking Matthew's mother, but also stalking Piper who has been so busy becoming an Elemental Witch, finding a manager to run her restaurant in San Francisco while starting up a new one in Salem that she's never actually grieved father, Victor's death.

After her mother tells Paige about her premonitions, Paige transports home in order to check the family book of shadows for information about Banshees. When she tells Phoebe, who is supposedly studying for her test, and Phoebe just shrugs. All they have to do is go back in the Banshee's history and figure out which unresolved grief issues turned the Banshee into one to begin with. She also tells her how to do this - a certain spell that Phoebe quickly comes up with. Throw it at the Banshee and she'll confess everything.

Knowing there's no way Phoebe could figure all of this on her own, Paige knows something is up. She gets Phoebe to admit to casting the spell, but that it will wear off in an hour and her project is due tomorrow. She then turns back to her project.

Paige reminds her as an Elemental Witch, innocents must come first. Phoebe insists not when it means flunking a class. Paige grabs her and transports them back to the Centre, telling her that if she helps them help the Banshee which will help the Banshee *and* Matthew and his mother *and* Piper, she'll help her with her project.

But the potion requires so many ingredients that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time. Will the Warrens be able to save the Banshee and the Tates and Piper? Will they be able to help Piper take the time to properly mourn her father and will Phoebe learn a lesson about using spells to help herself when despite Paige helping her, Phoebe fails a different class and has to repeat the semester anyway?

ESMERALDA: So? What do you think? I changed it a bit more than I usually do, but since Season One is supposed to concentrate on the Warrens and their jobs (and in Phoebe's case, that's her schooling) this made sense to me. If enough members don't like it, I'll change it back.

PRUDENCE: I LOVE IT! Great job Es!

Speaking of Warrens and jobs. I feel a story based on Patiences job but where her office (if she has one) or wherever she developes photos. So far we're just using her on crime scenes taking photos. A little more would be fun. Unless I've skipped and forgotten one that did?

I do love stories we've done with two Warrens crossing over with stories and the same innocents and villains through their jobs.

The ones about the broken hearts of Salem...or whatever it was...it didn't feel right since it as only about Matthew's mother (and giving her a name just didn't quite seem right. Knowing what's coming, I preferred concentrating on Matthew...) and not about a whole bunch of lonely hearts with painful memories. It's a bit of a strange title, first to admit it...but fun.

You're right - perhaps a story where a warlock does something to the chemicals she uses in her darkroom that makes her do what the pictures do - something somewhat based on the one about Prue and Abbey, but different, the way this one was based on those two episodes without being like them - could definitely be fun.

Anyone want to do something like that - go for it! It would be something that would be nice for Season One.

Classic ‘Charmed’ 'The Complete First Season' to be released on Blu Ray Disc Oct. 30 with a special two-day promotional launch to celebrate!

As The CW mounts a reboot of the long-running fantasy drama Charmed, CBS Home Entertainment is releasing the original series on Blu-ray for the first time.

The trailer above gives a breakdown of how the quality changed from the standard-definition releases that have been available in the past to the HD release coming soon.

Charmed aired for eight seasons on The WB starting in 1998, and starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano as sisters who happen to be witches.

With a brand new remastered Blu Ray for Classic Charmed, a series reboot, and another high profile witch series (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) all coming up soon, it seems there has never been a better time, strategically speaking, to make Charmed available again. It really is the Season of the Witch in 2018!

The first season of the Classic Charmed series is getting its HD release, appropriately enough, the day before Halloween on October 30.

And to celebrate the launch, fans will get treated to a two-day promotional event on October 29th and 30th.

Constance M. Burge, Sheryl J. Anderson, Zack Estrin, Edithe Swensen, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Chris Levinson, Shannen Doherty, Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, Jennifer Rhodes, Dorian Gregory, and Brian Krause will be among the guests appearing in a yet to be disclosed location in LA for a launch party to help celebrate the release, with a special signing and press event.

Rose McGowan, who joined the cast replacing Shannen Doherty in Season 4 will not be attending the event. Since the celebration and launch party of the First Season on Blu Ray was decided to honor the cast and crew involved in the first season, but it also really came down to other working commitments, Rose is involved in. She wishes everyone well and is in full support of the 'Elemental Charmed' series on her social media page. But has since let fans know, that she and other actors (not attending) have contributed some tribute videos which will be played at some point at the two-day event.

Still to be determined is if all the guests will be appearing across both days, or a selection of some on certain days, due to other commitments by the actors and writers.

But it will mark the first time, all the Classic Charmed stars and writers have been together, apart from the yet to be released 20th anniversary special but that was in-studio filmed.

Charmed the Complete First Season of the Classic original series will be released on Blu-Ray in a 5 disc set on October 30th, 2018.

PHEEBS: Again me having a little bit of fun too. But coming across articles for the Blu Ray I had to do a press release for it.

ESMERALDA:[/quote][/i] Oh, yes, you definitely had some fun, but there's not much in here that I think would be completely out of the question if OUR reboot was really around the corner. Only two things made me think, "Oh, no, I don't think so".

First, I don't think CBS agree to pay for both Connie and the writers. I think they would for the stars, but not them, much as I would also love to see them as part of this. So in my edit, I'll take the others out. BUT because I am, I'm going to put some of the other Season One stars in. That might be my own bit of fun, so if anyone thinks I went too far, be sure to let me know.

Second, the whole bit with Rose would fit in an article about the reboot, but not about the Blu-Ray release, which this is about. So I'm going to edit that.

Anyone disagree with any of this? If so, why?

PHEEBS: You're probably right, they wouldn't pay the writers to be present. But that was just me having fun. Maybe if they did, it would be just two writers, or just Connie herself. But CBS I gather wouldn't pay for the writers or Connie to be present, but I'm not sure how real events like this would go. Normally it might be just the stars.

That might make for an interesting article, to have press releases having the Classic Charmed stars reacting to our reboot. I'd love to do Rose's one. 

------------------------

PHEEBS: I made it a two-day event on purpose, just so some actors or writers could appear on one day and others on another. Being realistic, that perhaps not all of them could do two days. I wanted to keep it strictly season 1 cast and crew.

Feel free to edit, change or ask questions?

SUMMER: Great job Pheebs! Don't I wish this was real! (edited a small part, I guess the real author of the article you took pieces from said some things wrong)

ESMERALDA:Good job, Summer! So glad that others aren't afraid to edit and admit that they have. I'm definitely not the only one who should be allowed to do that!

PHEEBS: Good one, Summer! Everyone is welcome to edit.

SASHA: Don't I wish they really did this. Don't I wish!!! Great job with it Pheebs!

And here's my edit:

Classic "Charmed’s" 'The Complete First Season's Blu-ray release to be celebrated with a two-day promotional launch!

As The CW mounts a reboot of the long-running fantasy dramedy "Charmed" with the dark fantasy drama, 'Elemental Charmed', CBS Home Entertainment is releasing the original series on Blu-ray for the first time.

The trailer above gives a breakdown of how the quality changed from the standard-definition releases that have been available in the past to the HD release coming soon.

"Charmed" aired for eight seasons on The WB starting in 1998, and starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano as sisters who happened to be witches.

With a brand-new remastered Blu-ray for classic "Charmed", a series reboot, and another high-profile rebooted witch series (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) all coming up soon, it seems there has never been a better time, strategically speaking, to make classic "Charmed" available again. 2018 really is the Season of the Witch!

The first season of the classic "Charmed" series will be having its HD release, appropriately enough, the day before Halloween on October 30.

And to celebrate the launch, fans in LA will be treated to a two-day promotional event on October 29th and 30th.

For the first time since the last episode of classic "Charmed" was filmed, the stars who played three sisters who happened to be witches - Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano - will be appearing onstage together. Despite past problems, all three got along well during the filming of the 20th anniversary special that will but that was in-studio filmed.

Brian Krause, Ted King, Dorian Gregory, Jennifer Rhodes, Finola Hughes, Tyler Layton, Neil Roberts, Leigh-Allyn Baker and Carlos Gomez will be among the other guests appearing at a yet-to-be disclosed location in LA for a launch party to help celebrate the release, with a special signing each day and a press event the day of the release.

Others might have attended, but since the celebration and launch party will only honor the cast and crew involved in the first season, only those were invited. This is especially true of fan favorites Rose McGowan, Julian McMahon and Drew Fuller, but all have shown full support for the upcoming "Elemental Charmed" series on their social media pages, with all three hoping for a chance to appear on the series.

CBS-TV decided on a two day events because some of the guests could only make it for a single day due to previous commitments. The actual schedule be released later, but CBS-TV assured fans that the three stars will be part of both days' events.

"Charmed: the Complete First Season" will be released as a 5-disc set in Blu-Ray on October 30th, 2018.

ESMERALDA: That's such fun that you made this happen the day you wrote it, Pheebs! It just makes it seem that much more real!!

So? What do you guys think of this edit?

PHEEBS: I love it. Great job. Yep, I couldn't resist doing one for an article released in real time on the day I saw it. If I ever find anything or come across ones, I'll do them accordingly. 

Actually, this might be the way our reboot feel real. Just the Deadline press releases are enough to get that real experience. Even if our episode press releases, are done our way. What do you think? Because we are making it feel real regardless, with the fun. 

[pheebs]

Our updates are spot on! I don't see anything missing at all this time. So well-done!

PRUDENCE: My first press release. Wish me luck. I have no idea how it will turn out. Won't surprise me, I end up with massive edits - because this is a first for me. 

Thanks, Pheebs for how you get inspired for stories. I found one to help me basing it around Salem's Convention Centre that hosts so many events all the time it seems.

Feel free to change the villain as you please, I'll get there when I feel better at doing more press releases but not the best with original villains guys. If you can creatively come up with someone else if you think this doesn't work, by all means. I'm not good with titles, so feel free to edit it too if you wish.

SUMMER: I'm so glad you decided to give it a try, Prudence and I inspired you with finding something in Salem that could work for the story. 

PHEEBS: I'm so happy to see you decided to give it a go like Sasha did before.

ESMERALDA: I'm also very glad that you decided to give this a try, Prudence - I hope it inspires others to do the same! Now I look forward to seeing what you came up with.

PRUDENCE: Can't wait to see what you all thought. 

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

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘The Painful Heartaches of Lonely Hearts in Salem’
 
TBD — It's the annual foodie's event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets excited to explore all the local food. Piper is hosting her own food stand and Prudence has invited some of the women from one of her not-for-organizations she volunteers to the event which she is also a volunteer for this year.

Eventually, Prudence has a premonition that has the two trying to save an innocent, and a young man named Matthew who has a vendors stand at the event too but returned home to Salem to also be with his mother Louisa in her time of need for a little while, following the death of his father. But soon they learn that a Banshee is stalking his mother, due to her massive grief, and it is a person somewhere at the foodie's event in disguise. But it also comes after Piper who has some unresolved grief issues regarding her father, Victor.

Elsewhere, Phoebe is struggling in one of her classes and is worried she will fail the semester before summer breaks out in under 2 months, that she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help, before casting a smart spell. Later when Patience and Paige realize what she has done, Phoebe lets them know the spell will wear off in 48 hours. Eventually, Phoebe learns a valuable lesson, to trust her own instincts and smarts, and realizes she never needed to smart spell to pass, she just needed to figure out whatever was bothering her and giving her a roadblock.

While her smart spell is still in effect, Phoebe manages to help her family I.D the Banshee at the foodie's event in record time, but then the Banshee then decides to go after Piper shapeshifting into her father, in order to draw out the other Warrens. Phoebe eventually learns that in order to vanquish the Banshee, they must learn more about her history including her unresolved issues with her own parents and how she became a Banshee, to begin with. Which has Phoebe wanting to cast a spell with a potion to make two of the Warrens appear as her supposed parent's ghosts to get her to confess to their deaths, in order to move on?

But the said potion and spell is running out of time to be made and cast, and requires so many ingredients, that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time and the Warren's will fail at being able to get rid of the Banshee for good?

The CW

- Prudence Halliwell

As others say, edit, re-edit or ask some questions?

SUMMER: I might change the title just to not reflect just Louisa, make it about both him and his mother. The Banshee ends up going after the others I reckon, and I think she should target both Matthew and his mother, before going after the Warren's with unresolved stuff to do with Victor.

Hope you don't mind, I went ahead and changed the title and the episode number and date. I think placing it as episode 9 might work, so some of those wounds the Warren family feel for Victor's death are still sorta fresh. Unless you placed it as episode 19, to fit in with some event in Salem for a reason?

I just thought it would be nice if we had S1's first 16 episodes all filled in now. 

Great first effort Prudence. 

EDIT: Just realized that by moving it to episode 9, Phoebe's story changes slightly as she wouldn't be falling behind to finish the school year now close to Summer. So she'd have to just be falling behind in a certain class maybe? Unless we take out Phoebe's smart spell plot and leave it for late in S1, and find another story for the other Warren's. If you think this is too much, change it back to episode 19, Prudence. 

ESMERALDA: Actually Season 1, Episode 9 would be right before our Christmas episode, so that means Phoebe is near the end of the first semester, so this still works fine.

PRUDENCE: Perfect. That's fine.

------------------------------

PHEEBS: Unless she taps into some unresolved issues that have been buried for many months, and it comes out now. So we can still keep it as episode 19, and not need to move it to 9. Although I would feel satisfied that we have 16 straight completed press releases for S1 from episode 1 to 16. The placement isn't really an issue. 

Good job putting it together. But I agree with Summer, that we should have it focusing on the two of them not just have her target his mother. Let it be the two of them or even just Matthew.

Might need some proofing though. But a great first effort, Prudence. 

RUTH: Good job! I think making it about Matthew or both might be better as an innocent.

ESMERALDA: Oh, changing it so we introduce Matthew in Season One is a great idea! I actually like this as coming out sooner rather than later for a number of reasons:

1) It continues to show the Warrens mourning Victor despite them becoming the Elemental Witches

2) It allows Phoebe to be in school and use the smart spell - I loved its use in Classic Charmed, and also love it here - nothing says we can't reuse ideas from Classic Charmed, as a tribute to Classic Charmed.

3) We don't have a Season One, Episode Nine yet and I think this fits there perfectly!

So here's my edit (not sure what Foodie events are like in Salem, so I based my event on the ones we have here in Minneapolis).

PRUDENCE: That makes sense Es. That's what I thought. We ain't remaking The Painted World or Look Who's Barking. I like the tributes. Besides a Banshee is a Banshee. Charmed isn't the first to use one. 

ESMERALDA: Well, we're not copying from those episodes, but by redoing them, it feels like a tribute in a way none of the others really have been (who says Charmed had run out of stories to tell??), so that's why I came up with the title. The ones about the broken hearts of Salem...or whatever it was...it didn't feel right since it as only about Matthew's mother (and giving her a name just didn't quite seem right. Knowing what's coming, I preferred concentrating on Matthew...) and not about a whole bunch of lonely hearts with painful memories. It's a bit of a strange title, first to admit it...but fun.

PRUDENCE: Look forward to your edits.

ESMERALDA: Hope you like them!

PHEEBS: That title actually works better for our Valentines Day episode I have to admit. But maybe not this one. 

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

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching Classic "Charmed"?’

In A TRIBUTE TO CLASSIC "CHARMED", PHOEBE TRIES A SMART SPELL WHILE A BANSHEE HAUNTS — Phoebe is struggling with one of her classes and has a project due the next day. If she doesn't finish it in time, she will probably fail the class and the semester and have to repeat the whole thing all over again. So she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help. She finds a smart spell in the family book of shadows, and happily casts it, totally forgetting what Prudence taught her - a spell cast to just help herself and not another is bound to backfire...

Meanwhile, it's also the Annual Foodie Event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets to sample new foods from all of the local restaurants. Prudence is in charge of the event this year and has talked Piper into introducing her new restaurant to Salem by hosting one of the booths. Prudence has also invited "Feed Salem's Hungry" - one of the not-for-profit organizations where she volunteers - to sponsor the event, so the other members are helping out.

But during the big event, Prudence has a premonition showing a Banshee stalking a woman who has lost her husband. When she sees the woman's son trying to save his mother, she recognizes him as Matthew Tate, who is hosting one of the booths and who has brought his mother with him in hopes that helping him will help bring her out of her massive grief and make her want to live again. This is followed by a second premonition showing Prudence that the Banshee will soon be at the Foodie Event in disguise, not only stalking Matthew's mother, but also stalking Piper who has been so busy becoming an Elemental Witch, finding a manager to run her restaurant in San Francisco while starting up a new one in Salem, that she's never taken the time to actually grieve the death of her father, Victor.

After her mother tells Paige about her premonitions, Paige transports home in order to check the family book of shadows for information about Banshees. When she tells Phoebe, who is supposedly working on her project, and Phoebe just shrugs. All they have to do is go back in the Banshee's history and figure out which unresolved grief issues turned the Banshee into one to begin with. She also tells her aunt how to do this - a certain potion that Phoebe quickly comes up with. Throw it at the Banshee and she'll confess everything.

Knowing there's no way Phoebe could figure all of this on her own, Paige figured out that something is up. She gets Phoebe to admit to casting the spell, but that it will wear off in an hour and her project is due tomorrow. She then turns back to her project.

Paige reminds her that as an Elemental Witch, innocents must come first. Phoebe insists not when it means flunking a class. Paige grabs her and transports them back to the Centre, telling her that if she helps them help the Banshee which will not only help the Banshee, but also help Matthew and his mother *and* Piper, she'll help her with her project.

But the potion requires so many ingredients that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time. Will the Warrens be able to save the Banshee and the Tates and Piper? Will they be able to help Piper take the time to properly mourn her father and will Phoebe learn a lesson about using spells to help herself when despite Paige helping her, Phoebe fails a different class and has to repeat the semester anyway?

- Prudence Halliwell

ESMERALDA: So? What do you think? I changed it a bit more than I usually do, but since Season One is supposed to concentrate on the Warrens and their jobs (and in Phoebe's case, that's her schooling) this made sense to me. If enough members don't like it, I'll change it back.

PRUDENCE: I LOVE IT! Great job Es!

ESMERALDA: YAY! So very glad that you do!!

PHEEBS: Great job. I love this one. What a tribute to Classic Charmed, but it's still a brand new story. I'm also so very proud of us all, we've gotten the first 17 episodes of S1 done. WOW!

----------------------

PRUDENCE: Speaking of Warrens and jobs. I feel a story based on Patiences job but where her office (if she has one) or wherever she developes photos. So far we're just using her on crime scenes taking photos. A little more would be fun. Unless I've skipped and forgotten one that did?

ESMERALDA: As a forensic photographer, Patience would have both her office and her darkroom at the police station, near the coroner's office. You're right - perhaps a story where a warlock does something to the chemicals she uses in her darkroom that makes her do what the pictures do - something somewhat based on the one about Prue and Abbey, but different, the way this one was based on those two episodes without being like them - could definitely be fun.

Anyone want to do something like that - go for it! It would be something that would be nice for Season One.

PHEEBS: What a neat idea for a story, to truly let Patience's job be central to our story. I'll see if I can think of a story, and everyone else, go for it if you want to do the same. 

---------------------

PRUDENCE: I do love stories we've done with two Warrens crossing over with stories and the same innocents and villains through their jobs.

ESMERALDA: Me, too!

PHEEBS: That's how I like it. Less demon hunters, more family or sisters who are witches.

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

Season 1, Episode 17: ‘A Warren in A Strange, Strange World’ (Part One???)

THE STRANGE DIMENSIONS — Strange things start occurring in Salem, as all the Warrens gather to celebrate Piper's big news when her restaurant ends up in magazines top 100 best restaurants. As the family begins to toast to Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends all the women set out to rescue an innocent against three warlocks, but no sooner, do Prudence, Patience, and Paige recognizes the warlocks as ones they previously vanquished two decades ago. 

When the women confront the warlocks, suddenly a vortex opens up and sends Piper, Paige, two warlocks and their innocent into the vortex. Fearing they may have never see their family again, or worse they have died, they immediately rush home. 

Elsewhere, in the other dimension, Piper and Paige are shocked to find themselves in a very strange but horrible universe, one where warlocks rule the world, and witches are near existent. Learning that in this universe, all previously vanquished warlocks in the real world are dead, but here they are very much alive. The Elemental Witches do not exist in this universe, because none of them were ever born, because Mary Ann and Jenna Warren never made it to America alive.

The remaining Warrens head straight to the manor and come to the conclusion through research that they may be in another dimension or universe. But neither of them know how to open the door to the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper are rescued by some fellow witches and take their innocent to a safe house. Eventually, the innocent reveals herself and changes back from a glamoured form to reveal herself to be Andrea Halliwell. The two Warren's look in shock, learning that in this universe, Prudence never married Allen, because the family line never existed but she and Allen are leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time. But the prophecy of the Elemental Witches has been an urban myth, and she has been looking to try and find a way into a universe that has them, enough just to help them out to vanquish some warlocks who are overruling Salem. 

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this universe, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Will Piper and Paige survive without their powers, will the other Warrens find a way to rescue their family? What do the other remaining warlocks still in the real universe want?

- Sasha Trudeau

SASHA: So? What do you think? Again looking at my story, I actually think it shouldn't be included in this season. Especially because the story I did would continue into a part 2. And we want our first season to be standalone. But I placed it here to see what you all thought, and again with my story it might fit better somewhere else?

If you guys think it hasn't got enough to be in two parts, I'll leave in it in “Charmed” Season 1, or move to another season.

I must say, I did think I'd only do one or rarely do press releases. But one press release and you find yourself hooked.

ESMERALDA: Hehehehe! So very glad this is hooking you in, Sasha! I agree with you that we only want standalones in the first and second season except for the season finales/premiere - but those are also the *only* time we want Part 1 and Part Two - they don't work well during the season.

Personally I think it will work fine as a standalone. With you just including the question at the end, as we have for other episodes (personally I'm seriously considering doing that for ALL of our episodes to make it seem more like a real press release, as well as changing "original airdate" "To be aired:"

Of course if I *really* wanted to make it seem more real, we'd have to make all of them extra-short. After all, here's what the original The WB press releases for Classic Charmed's “Charmed” Season 1 looked like:

PHEEBS: I'm so glad you got hooked Sasha, and hope you keep writing more press releases and episodes. It's nice to see more people doing them, does let me and Summer have a little break, and let others come up with more episodes. I know we both have done the most, and I'd like everyone to feel they get to input. Why for now, I'm doing the Deadline press releases, and taking a step back for a little bit, just to see what others can come up with. And I'm so proud of you all!

Although I think we might want to do something like this when we get our 100 episodes, I truly don’t think it’s how we want to do them now!  We've been having such fun, l think we should just keep doing it the way we're doing it, and if it's not quite realistic - who cares?  We're enjoying ourselves, right? Maybe someone's fantasy version will be a more realistic one - if so, go for it!  But as is...

PHEEBS: Yes, something to do when we hit 100 episodes. Like I said earlier, my Deadline press releases are enough, for now, to make it feel real, since those are actually as real as you can get, so we do have something making it feel truly real with those.

Here's some real Classic Charmed press release I found online for some real ones:

WHAT IF MARY ANN AND JENNA'S PARENTS NEVER MADE IT TO AMERICA? — When Piper’s new restaurant makes a national magazine’s List of The Top 100 Best Restaurants, the Warrens gather to celebrate. But as the family toasts Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends them out to rescue an innocent going against three warlocks.

Suddenly a vortex opens up, grabbing Piper and Phoebe and their innocent and plopping them in the middle of a dimension where warlocks rule the dimension, and witches are near extinction. To top it off, all of the warlocks that the Warrens have vanquished throughout time are now very much alive. All of this is because Penelope Warren and her husband Joshua never made it to America alive, but were killed when some warlocks sunk their ship. This means that Mary Ann Warren was never born, which also means the Elemental Witches do not exist.

Back in the original dimension, Paige transports the remaining Warrens home and after some research in their family book of shadows, have come to the conclusion that Piper and Phoebe may be in another dimension. Unfortunately, there is nothing in their book that tells them how to reopen the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper and their innocent are rescued by some of the remaining witches. There they are surprised to when their innocent takes off her glamor to reveal herself as Andrea Halliwell! The two Warrens look at each other in shock.

Andrea explains that in this dimension, it’s her and her twin, Allen – neither of them who have ever married or had children who have been leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time.

She then tells them that in this dimension, the prophecy of the Elemental Witches is an urban myth, but one that she discovered isn’t a myth in a different dimension, so for years, she has been looking for a way into that dimension, so she could bring the Elemental Witches to her dimension, just long enough to help them vanquish the warlocks who have overtaken Salem. Unfortunately her vortex spell wasn’t strong enough to grab all five Warrens, but just two.

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this dimension, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Meanwhile, back in the Warrens’ original dimension, Paige has figured out a way to use her Air powers to transport them to the other dimension and they arrive right after Andrea is killed.

But what will happen when she and the other two find out that they no longer have powers?

ESMERALDA So? What do you think?

Sasha, you'll notice I didn't have any of the Warrens recognize the warlocks nor did I have the warlocks go with them. Those things just don't seem to fit your story. If I'm wrong and you want to change it, go ahead and edit mine and make it a big more clear.

PHEEBS: Good job Es and Sasha I love the story! I guess the Warren's in the present will take care of those warlocks again, although these warlocks will not have heard of them before since they don't exist in the other world, so it gives the Warren's an advantage.

PRUDENCE: My first press release. Wish me luck. I have no idea how it will turn out. Won't surprise me, I end up with massive edits - because this is a first for me. 

Thanks, Pheebs for how you get inspired for stories. I found one to help me basing it around Salem's Convention Centre that hosts so many events all the time it seems.

Feel free to change the villain as you please, I'll get there when I feel better at doing more press releases but not the best with original villains guys. If you can creatively come up with someone else if you think this doesn't work, by all means. I'm not good with titles, so feel free to edit it too if you wish.

SUMMER: I'm so glad you decided to give it a try, Prudence and I inspired you with finding something in Salem that could work for the story. 

PHEEBS: I'm so happy to see you decided to give it a go like Sasha did before.

ESMERALDA: I'm also very glad that you decided to give this a try, Prudence - I hope it inspires others to do the same! Now I look forward to seeing what you came up with.

PRUDENCE: Can't wait to see what you all thought. 

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

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘The Painful Heartaches of Lonely Hearts in Salem’
 
TBD — It's the annual foodie's event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets excited to explore all the local food. Piper is hosting her own food stand and Prudence has invited some of the women from one of her not-for-organizations she volunteers to the event which she is also a volunteer for this year.

Eventually, Prudence has a premonition that has the two trying to save an innocent, and a young man named Matthew who has a vendors stand at the event too but returned home to Salem to also be with his mother Louisa in her time of need for a little while, following the death of his father. But soon they learn that a Banshee is stalking his mother, due to her massive grief, and it is a person somewhere at the foodie's event in disguise. But it also comes after Piper who has some unresolved grief issues regarding her father, Victor.

Elsewhere, Phoebe is struggling in one of her classes and is worried she will fail the semester before summer breaks out in under 2 months, that she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help, before casting a smart spell. Later when Patience and Paige realize what she has done, Phoebe lets them know the spell will wear off in 48 hours. Eventually, Phoebe learns a valuable lesson, to trust her own instincts and smarts, and realizes she never needed to smart spell to pass, she just needed to figure out whatever was bothering her and giving her a roadblock.

While her smart spell is still in effect, Phoebe manages to help her family I.D the Banshee at the foodie's event in record time, but then the Banshee then decides to go after Piper shapeshifting into her father, in order to draw out the other Warrens. Phoebe eventually learns that in order to vanquish the Banshee, they must learn more about her history including her unresolved issues with her own parents and how she became a Banshee, to begin with. Which has Phoebe wanting to cast a spell with a potion to make two of the Warrens appear as her supposed parent's ghosts to get her to confess to their deaths, in order to move on?

But the said potion and spell is running out of time to be made and cast, and requires so many ingredients, that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time and the Warren's will fail at being able to get rid of the Banshee for good?

The CW

- Prudence Halliwell

As others say, edit, re-edit or ask some questions?

SUMMER: I might change the title just to not reflect just Louisa, make it about both him and his mother. The Banshee ends up going after the others I reckon, and I think she should target both Matthew and his mother, before going after the Warren's with unresolved stuff to do with Victor.

Hope you don't mind, I went ahead and changed the title and the episode number and date. I think placing it as episode 9 might work, so some of those wounds the Warren family feel for Victor's death are still sorta fresh. Unless you placed it as episode 19, to fit in with some event in Salem for a reason?

I just thought it would be nice if we had S1's first 16 episodes all filled in now. 

Great first effort Prudence. 

EDIT: Just realized that by moving it to episode 9, Phoebe's story changes slightly as she wouldn't be falling behind to finish the school year now close to Summer. So she'd have to just be falling behind in a certain class maybe? Unless we take out Phoebe's smart spell plot and leave it for late in S1, and find another story for the other Warren's. If you think this is too much, change it back to episode 19, Prudence. 

ESMERALDA: Actually Season 1, Episode 9 would be right before our Christmas episode, so that means Phoebe is near the end of the first semester, so this still works fine.

PRUDENCE: Perfect. That's fine.

------------------------------

PHEEBS: Unless she taps into some unresolved issues that have been buried for many months, and it comes out now. So we can still keep it as episode 19, and not need to move it to 9. Although I would feel satisfied that we have 16 straight completed press releases for S1 from episode 1 to 16. The placement isn't really an issue. 

Good job putting it together. But I agree with Summer, that we should have it focusing on the two of them not just have her target his mother. Let it be the two of them or even just Matthew.

Might need some proofing though. But a great first effort, Prudence. 

RUTH: Good job! I think making it about Matthew or both might be better as an innocent.

ESMERALDA: Oh, changing it so we introduce Matthew in Season One is a great idea! I actually like this as coming out sooner rather than later for a number of reasons:

1) It continues to show the Warrens mourning Victor despite them becoming the Elemental Witches

2) It allows Phoebe to be in school and use the smart spell - I loved its use in Classic Charmed, and also love it here - nothing says we can't reuse ideas from Classic Charmed, as a tribute to Classic Charmed.

3) We don't have a Season One, Episode Nine yet and I think this fits there perfectly!

So here's my edit (not sure what Foodie events are like in Salem, so I based my event on the ones we have here in Minneapolis).

PRUDENCE: That makes sense Es. That's what I thought. We ain't remaking The Painted World or Look Who's Barking. I like the tributes. Besides a Banshee is a Banshee. Charmed isn't the first to use one. 

ESMERALDA: Well, we're not copying from those episodes, but by redoing them, it feels like a tribute in a way none of the others really have been (who says Charmed had run out of stories to tell??), so that's why I came up with the title. The ones about the broken hearts of Salem...or whatever it was...it didn't feel right since it as only about Matthew's mother (and giving her a name just didn't quite seem right. Knowing what's coming, I preferred concentrating on Matthew...) and not about a whole bunch of lonely hearts with painful memories. It's a bit of a strange title, first to admit it...but fun.

PRUDENCE: Look forward to your edits.

ESMERALDA: Hope you like them!

PHEEBS: That title actually works better for our Valentines Day episode I have to admit. But maybe not this one. 

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

Season 1, Episode 9: ‘A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching Classic "Charmed"?’

In A TRIBUTE TO CLASSIC "CHARMED", PHOEBE TRIES A SMART SPELL WHILE A BANSHEE HAUNTS — Phoebe is struggling with one of her classes and has a project due the next day. If she doesn't finish it in time, she will probably fail the class and the semester and have to repeat the whole thing all over again. So she goes up to the attic looking for some magical help. She finds a smart spell in the family book of shadows, and happily casts it, totally forgetting what Prudence taught her - a spell cast to just help herself and not another is bound to backfire...

Meanwhile, it's also the Annual Foodie Event at the Salem Convention Centre, where everyone gets to sample new foods from all of the local restaurants. Prudence is in charge of the event this year and has talked Piper into introducing her new restaurant to Salem by hosting one of the booths. Prudence has also invited "Feed Salem's Hungry" - one of the not-for-profit organizations where she volunteers - to sponsor the event, so the other members are helping out.

But during the big event, Prudence has a premonition showing a Banshee stalking a woman who has lost her husband. When she sees the woman's son trying to save his mother, she recognizes him as Matthew Tate, who is hosting one of the booths and who has brought his mother with him in hopes that helping him will help bring her out of her massive grief and make her want to live again. This is followed by a second premonition showing Prudence that the Banshee will soon be at the Foodie Event in disguise, not only stalking Matthew's mother, but also stalking Piper who has been so busy becoming an Elemental Witch, finding a manager to run her restaurant in San Francisco while starting up a new one in Salem, that she's never taken the time to actually grieve the death of her father, Victor.

After her mother tells Paige about her premonitions, Paige transports home in order to check the family book of shadows for information about Banshees. When she tells Phoebe, who is supposedly working on her project, and Phoebe just shrugs. All they have to do is go back in the Banshee's history and figure out which unresolved grief issues turned the Banshee into one to begin with. She also tells her aunt how to do this - a certain potion that Phoebe quickly comes up with. Throw it at the Banshee and she'll confess everything.

Knowing there's no way Phoebe could figure all of this on her own, Paige figured out that something is up. She gets Phoebe to admit to casting the spell, but that it will wear off in an hour and her project is due tomorrow. She then turns back to her project.

Paige reminds her that as an Elemental Witch, innocents must come first. Phoebe insists not when it means flunking a class. Paige grabs her and transports them back to the Centre, telling her that if she helps them help the Banshee which will not only help the Banshee, but also help Matthew and his mother *and* Piper, she'll help her with her project.

But the potion requires so many ingredients that Phoebe's smart spell might run out of time. Will the Warrens be able to save the Banshee and the Tates and Piper? Will they be able to help Piper take the time to properly mourn her father and will Phoebe learn a lesson about using spells to help herself when despite Paige helping her, Phoebe fails a different class and has to repeat the semester anyway?

ESMERALDA: So? What do you think? I changed it a bit more than I usually do, but since Season One is supposed to concentrate on the Warrens and their jobs (and in Phoebe's case, that's her schooling) this made sense to me. If enough members don't like it, I'll change it back.

PRUDENCE: I LOVE IT! Great job Es!

ESMERALDA: YAY! So very glad that you do!!

PHEEBS: Great job. I love this one. What a tribute to Classic Charmed, but it's still a brand new story. I'm also so very proud of us all, we've gotten the first 17 episodes of S1 done. WOW!

----------------------

PRUDENCE: Speaking of Warrens and jobs. I feel a story based on Patiences job but where her office (if she has one) or wherever she developes photos. So far we're just using her on crime scenes taking photos. A little more would be fun. Unless I've skipped and forgotten one that did?

ESMERALDA: As a forensic photographer, Patience would have both her office and her darkroom at the police station, near the coroner's office. You're right - perhaps a story where a warlock does something to the chemicals she uses in her darkroom that makes her do what the pictures do - something somewhat based on the one about Prue and Abbey, but different, the way this one was based on those two episodes without being like them - could definitely be fun.

Anyone want to do something like that - go for it! It would be something that would be nice for Season One.

PHEEBS: What a neat idea for a story, to truly let Patience's job be central to our story. I'll see if I can think of a story, and everyone else, go for it if you want to do the same. 

PRUDENCE: I did a press release, already. Might need proofing though. I'll share it in the next post. 
---------------------

PRUDENCE: I do love stories we've done with two Warrens crossing over with stories and the same innocents and villains through their jobs.

ESMERALDA: Me, too!

PHEEBS: That's how I like it. Less demon hunters, more family or sisters who are witches.

PRUDENCE: And that is what we want for our show. No way we want S3-8 Classic Charmed!

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

Season 1, Episode 18: ‘TBD’

TBD — Following a very successful career as a forensic photographer for the past 20 years at the Salem Police department. The co-workers are going to honor Patience with her own award for 20 years of service. But one of her co-workers, in another department, who has had some jealousy over Patience's accomplishments and who also resents that their work has gone unnoticed for 30 years, sets out to ruin Patience's reputation.

Later, Patience is tasked with helping out an intern who wishes to become a forensic photographer one day for five days of training but is also not who he appears to be. He's really a warlock, and when he hears about one of her co-workers, he offers to help this co-worker out to benefit them both, the new intern will be hired full time and replace Patience, and the co-worker's work will finally get noticed. He sabotages Patience's darkroom and does something to the chemicals in her dark-room, now whenever Patience develops a photo, but she's also under some trance, so she starts taking photos of members of the Salem Police department, nobody wants people to see and some photos developed are of events not yet happening, that Patience is yet to act out?

Phoebe is on spring break and has opted not to accompany her friends to Boston due to getting sick at the last minute. Now recovered with three days until spring break concludes, she decides to get out of the house and go for a jog around the neighborhood upon feeling better and notices one of their neighbors taking his rage out on his two young children. When she tells Prudence and Piper what she saw. Prudence has a premonition of one of the young children being killed by a car.

They ask for assistance from Paige who uses the SSS database and discovers that the father is widowed following the death of his wife, and reports have said he might lose custody of the children if he doesn't control his drinking. Now the Warren's set out to save the children.

But with Patience under her trance, she has no control of taking photos of the father beating his children, which the warlock uses to his advantage, in order to get Patience's co-worker catching her invading privacy of people, and him being able to arrest Patience. But the warlock does something more extreme, one of the photos Patience develops is of herself killing the young boy with her car?

Will the Warren's be able to stop Patience from doing what she has no control over? Can they save Patience's reputation as a forensic photographer and help a troubled family and rescue a young child?

Many thanks to Es for the inspiration! 

The wording might need work, and some editing required if someone can work it a little better, go for it guys!

Spring Break according to me googling I found in Salem it is between March 15 Friday Spring Break starts and March 25 Monday Spring Break ends, Classes start), so we can easily adjust the episode placement when needed to episode 16 which has an air date of April 7th. 

I'll let you guys title and tagline it. I can't think of anything at the moment. 


So feel free to edit, or change it?

Season 1, Episode 17: ‘A Warren in A Strange, Strange World’ (Part One???)

THE STRANGE DIMENSIONS — Strange things start occurring in Salem, as all the Warrens gather to celebrate Piper's big news when her restaurant ends up in magazines top 100 best restaurants. As the family begins to toast to Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends all the women set out to rescue an innocent against three warlocks, but no sooner, do Prudence, Patience, and Paige recognizes the warlocks as ones they previously vanquished two decades ago. 

When the women confront the warlocks, suddenly a vortex opens up and sends Piper, Paige, two warlocks and their innocent into the vortex. Fearing they may have never see their family again, or worse they have died, they immediately rush home. 

Elsewhere, in the other dimension, Piper and Paige are shocked to find themselves in a very strange but horrible universe, one where warlocks rule the world, and witches are near existent. Learning that in this universe, all previously vanquished warlocks in the real world are dead, but here they are very much alive. The Elemental Witches do not exist in this universe, because none of them were ever born, because Mary Ann and Jenna Warren never made it to America alive.

The remaining Warrens head straight to the manor and come to the conclusion through research that they may be in another dimension or universe. But neither of them know how to open the door to the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper are rescued by some fellow witches and take their innocent to a safe house. Eventually, the innocent reveals herself and changes back from a glamoured form to reveal herself to be Andrea Halliwell. The two Warren's look in shock, learning that in this universe, Prudence never married Allen, because the family line never existed but she and Allen are leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time. But the prophecy of the Elemental Witches has been an urban myth, and she has been looking to try and find a way into a universe that has them, enough just to help them out to vanquish some warlocks who are overruling Salem. 

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this universe, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Will Piper and Paige survive without their powers, will the other Warrens find a way to rescue their family? What do the other remaining warlocks still in the real universe want?

SASHA: So? What do you think? Again looking at my story, I actually think it shouldn't be included in this season. Especially because the story I did would continue into a part 2. And we want our first season to be standalone. But I placed it here to see what you all thought, and again with my story it might fit better somewhere else?

If you guys think it hasn't got enough to be in two parts, I'll leave in it in “Charmed” Season 1, or move to another season.

I must say, I did think I'd only do one or rarely do press releases. But one press release and you find yourself hooked.

ESMERALDA: Hehehehe! So very glad this is hooking you in, Sasha! I agree with you that we only want standalones in the first and second season except for the season finales/premiere - but those are also the *only* time we want Part 1 and Part Two - they don't work well during the season.

Personally I think it will work fine as a standalone. With you just including the question at the end, as we have for other episodes (personally I'm seriously considering doing that for ALL of our episodes to make it seem more like a real press release, as well as changing "original airdate" "To be aired:"

Of course if I *really* wanted to make it seem more real, we'd have to make all of them extra-short. After all, here's what the original The WB press releases for Classic Charmed's “Charmed” Season 1 looked like:

PHEEBS: I'm so glad you got hooked Sasha, and hope you keep writing more press releases and episodes. It's nice to see more people doing them, does let me and Summer have a little break, and let others come up with more episodes. I know we both have done the most, and I'd like everyone to feel they get to input. Why for now, I'm doing the Deadline press releases, and taking a step back for a little bit, just to see what others can come up with. And I'm so proud of you all!

SASHA: I had fun with it. A neat standalone episode now. I'm so proud of everyone here too.

Although I think we might want to do something like this when we get our 100 episodes, I truly don’t think it’s how we want to do them now!  We've been having such fun, l think we should just keep doing it the way we're doing it, and if it's not quite realistic - who cares?  We're enjoying ourselves, right? Maybe someone's fantasy version will be a more realistic one - if so, go for it!  But as is...

PHEEBS: Yes, something to do when we hit 100 episodes. Like I said earlier, my Deadline press releases are enough, for now, to make it feel real, since those are actually as real as you can get, so we do have something making it feel truly real with those.

Here's some real Classic Charmed press release I found online for some real ones: 

CHARMED


"Forever Charmed" - 

Air Date: Sunday, May 21, 2006

Time Slot: 8:00 PM-9:00 PM EST on The WB



THE CHARMED ONES SAY GOODBYE - After the death of their respective sisters, Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Billie (Kaley Cuoco) go their separate ways, both determined to get their families back together.

In the meantime, here’s my edit of yours, Prudence:

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

Season 1, Episode 17:‘Two Warrens in a Strange, Strange Land’

WHAT IF MARY ANN AND JENNA'S PARENTS NEVER MADE IT TO AMERICA? — When Piper’s new restaurant makes a national magazine’s List of The Top 100 Best Restaurants, the Warrens gather to celebrate. But as the family toasts Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends them out to rescue an innocent going against three warlocks.

Suddenly a vortex opens up, grabbing Piper and Phoebe and their innocent and plopping them in the middle of a dimension where warlocks rule the dimension, and witches are near extinction. To top it off, all of the warlocks that the Warrens have vanquished throughout time are now very much alive. All of this is because Penelope Warren and her husband Joshua never made it to America alive, but were killed when some warlocks sunk their ship. This means that Mary Ann Warren was never born, which also means the Elemental Witches do not exist.

Back in the original dimension, Paige transports the remaining Warrens home and after some research in their family book of shadows, have come to the conclusion that Piper and Phoebe may be in another dimension. Unfortunately, there is nothing in their book that tells them how to reopen the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper and their innocent are rescued by some of the remaining witches. There they are surprised to when their innocent takes off her glamor to reveal herself as Andrea Halliwell! The two Warrens look at each other in shock.

Andrea explains that in this dimension, it’s her and her twin, Allen – neither of them who have ever married or had children who have been leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time.

She then tells them that in this dimension, the prophecy of the Elemental Witches is an urban myth, but one that she discovered isn’t a myth in a different dimension, so for years, she has been looking for a way into that dimension, so she could bring the Elemental Witches to her dimension, just long enough to help them vanquish the warlocks who have overtaken Salem. Unfortunately her vortex spell wasn’t strong enough to grab all five Warrens, but just two.

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this dimension, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Meanwhile, back in the Warrens’ original dimension, Paige has figured out a way to use her Air powers to transport them to the other dimension and they arrive right after Andrea is killed.

But what will happen when she and the other two find out that they no longer have powers?

ESMERALDA So? What do you think?

Sasha, you'll notice I didn't have any of the Warrens recognize the warlocks nor did I have the warlocks go with them. Those things just don't seem to fit your story. If I'm wrong and you want to change it, go ahead and edit mine and make it a big more clear.

PHEEBS: Good job Es and Sasha I love the story! I guess the Warren's in the present will take care of those warlocks again, although these warlocks will not have heard of them before since they don't exist in the other world, so it gives the Warren's an advantage.

SASHA: Thanks. I Imagine they would be able too and have that advantage or they are sent back and vanquished immediately by the witches who learn a thing or two from the Elemental Witches on potions.

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

Season 1, Episode 18: ‘TBD’

TBD — Following a very successful career as a forensic photographer for the past 20 years at the Salem Police department. The co-workers are going to honor Patience with her own award for 20 years of service. But one of her co-workers, in another department, who has had some jealousy over Patience's accomplishments and who also resents that their work has gone unnoticed for 30 years, sets out to ruin Patience's reputation.

Later, Patience is tasked with helping out an intern who wishes to become a forensic photographer one day for five days of training but is also not who he appears to be. He's really a warlock, and when he hears about one of her co-workers, he offers to help this co-worker out to benefit them both, the new intern will be hired full time and replace Patience, and the co-worker's work will finally get noticed. He sabotages Patience's darkroom and does something to the chemicals in her dark-room, now whenever Patience develops a photo, but she's also under some trance, so she starts taking photos of members of the Salem Police department, nobody wants people to see and some photos developed are of events not yet happening, that Patience is yet to act out?

Phoebe is on spring break and has opted not to accompany her friends to Boston due to getting sick at the last minute. Now recovered with three days until spring break concludes, she decides to get out of the house and go for a jog around the neighborhood upon feeling better and notices one of their neighbors taking his rage out on his two young children. When she tells Prudence and Piper what she saw. Prudence has a premonition of one of the young children being killed by a car.

They ask for assistance from Paige who uses the SSS database and discovers that the father is widowed following the death of his wife, and reports have said he might lose custody of the children if he doesn't control his drinking. Now the Warren's set out to save the children.

But with Patience under her trance, she has no control of taking photos of the father beating his children, which the warlock uses to his advantage, in order to get Patience's co-worker catching her invading privacy of people, and him being able to arrest Patience. But the warlock does something more extreme, one of the photos Patience develops is of herself killing the young boy with her car?

Will the Warren's be able to stop Patience from doing what she has no control over? Can they save Patience's reputation as a forensic photographer and help a troubled family and rescue a young child?

Many thanks to Es for the inspiration! 

The wording might need work, and some editing required if someone can work it a little better, go for it guys!

Spring Break according to me googling I found in Salem it is between March 15 Friday Spring Break starts and March 25 Monday Spring Break ends, Classes start), so we can easily adjust the episode placement when needed to episode 16 which has an air date of April 7th. 

I'll let you guys title and tagline it. I can't think of anything at the moment. 


So feel free to edit, or change it?

SASHA: Like the story connecting all the Warrens and Patiences job.

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

Season 1, Episode 17: ‘A Warren in A Strange, Strange World’ (Part One???)

THE STRANGE DIMENSIONS — Strange things start occurring in Salem, as all the Warrens gather to celebrate Piper's big news when her restaurant ends up in magazines top 100 best restaurants. As the family begins to toast to Piper's success, Prudence has a premonition that sends all the women set out to rescue an innocent against three warlocks, but no sooner, do Prudence, Patience, and Paige recognizes the warlocks as ones they previously vanquished two decades ago. 

When the women confront the warlocks, suddenly a vortex opens up and sends Piper, Paige, two warlocks and their innocent into the vortex. Fearing they may have never see their family again, or worse they have died, they immediately rush home. 

Elsewhere, in the other dimension, Piper and Paige are shocked to find themselves in a very strange but horrible universe, one where warlocks rule the world, and witches are near existent. Learning that in this universe, all previously vanquished warlocks in the real world are dead, but here they are very much alive. The Elemental Witches do not exist in this universe, because none of them were ever born, because Mary Ann and Jenna Warren never made it to America alive.

The remaining Warrens head straight to the manor and come to the conclusion through research that they may be in another dimension or universe. But neither of them know how to open the door to the vortex.

Back in the other dimension, Paige and Piper are rescued by some fellow witches and take their innocent to a safe house. Eventually, the innocent reveals herself and changes back from a glamoured form to reveal herself to be Andrea Halliwell. The two Warren's look in shock, learning that in this universe, Prudence never married Allen, because the family line never existed but she and Allen are leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time. But the prophecy of the Elemental Witches has been an urban myth, and she has been looking to try and find a way into a universe that has them, enough just to help them out to vanquish some warlocks who are overruling Salem. 

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this universe, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Will Piper and Paige survive without their powers, will the other Warrens find a way to rescue their family? What do the other remaining warlocks still in the real universe want?

- Sasha Trudeau

SASHA: So? What do you think? Again looking at my story, I actually think it shouldn't be included in this season. Especially because the story I did would continue into a part 2. And we want our first season to be standalone. But I placed it here to see what you all thought, and again with my story it might fit better somewhere else?

If you guys think it hasn't got enough to be in two parts, I'll leave in it in “Charmed” Season 1, or move to another season.

I must say, I did think I'd only do one or rarely do press releases. But one press release and you find yourself hooked.

ESMERALDA: Hehehehe! So very glad this is hooking you in, Sasha! I agree with you that we only want standalones in the first and second season except for the season finales/premiere - but those are also the *only* time we want Part 1 and Part Two - they don't work well during the season.

Personally I think it will work fine as a standalone. With you just including the question at the end, as we have for other episodes (personally I'm seriously considering doing that for ALL of our episodes to make it seem more like a real press release, as well as changing "original airdate" "To be aired:"

Of course if I *really* wanted to make it seem more real, we'd have to make all of them extra-short. After all, here's what the original The WB press releases for Classic Charmed's “Charmed” Season 1 looked like:

PHEEBS: I'm so glad you got hooked Sasha, and hope you keep writing more press releases and episodes. It's nice to see more people doing them, does let me and Summer have a little break, and let others come up with more episodes. I know we both have done the most, and I'd like everyone to feel they get to input. Why for now, I'm doing the Deadline press releases, and taking a step back for a little bit, just to see what others can come up with. And I'm so proud of you all!

SASHA: I had fun with it. A neat standalone episode now. I'm so proud of everyone here too.

Maybe someone's fantasy version will be a more realistic one - if so, go for it!  But as is...

PHEEBS: Yes, something to do when we hit 100 episodes. Like I said earlier, my Deadline press releases are enough, for now, to make it feel real, since those are actually as real as you can get, so we do have something making it feel truly real with those.

Here's some real Classic Charmed press release I found online for some real ones:

Andrea explains that in this dimension, it’s her and her twin, Allen – neither of them who have ever married or had children who have been leading a resistance against the warlocks, but Allen has been missing and presumed dead for some time.

She then tells them that in this dimension, the prophecy of the Elemental Witches is an urban myth, but one that she discovered isn’t a myth in a different dimension, so for years, she has been looking for a way into that dimension, so she could bring the Elemental Witches to her dimension, just long enough to help them vanquish the warlocks who have overtaken Salem. Unfortunately her vortex spell wasn’t strong enough to grab all five Warrens, but just two.

But when Piper and Paige try to showcase their powers to Andrea and the other witches, they find out their powers do not work in this dimension, just as some warlocks show up and kill Andrea on the spot.

Meanwhile, back in the Warrens’ original dimension, Paige has figured out a way to use her Air powers to transport them to the other dimension and they arrive right after Andrea is killed.

But what will happen when she and the other two find out that they no longer have powers?

ESMERALDA So? What do you think?

Sasha, you'll notice I didn't have any of the Warrens recognize the warlocks nor did I have the warlocks go with them. Those things just don't seem to fit your story. If I'm wrong and you want to change it, go ahead and edit mine and make it a big more clear.

PHEEBS: Good job Es and Sasha I love the story! I guess the Warren's in the present will take care of those warlocks again, although these warlocks will not have heard of them before since they don't exist in the other world, so it gives the Warren's an advantage.

SASHA: Thanks. I Imagine they would be able too and have that advantage or they are sent back and vanquished immediately by the witches who learn a thing or two from the Elemental Witches on potions.

PHEEBS: I guess that's true. SSasha I hope you do more eepisodes again.

Many thanks to Es for the inspiration! 

The wording might need work, and some editing required if someone can work it a little better, go for it guys!

Spring Break according to me googling I found in Salem it is between March 15 Friday Spring Break starts and March 25 Monday Spring Break ends, Classes start), so we can easily adjust the episode placement when needed to episode 16 which has an air date of April 7th. 

I'll let you guys title and tagline it. I can't think of anything at the moment. 


So feel free to edit, or change it?

Season 1, Episode 18: ‘Who Says Pictures Can't Lie?'

GENTLE PATIENCE HAS KILLED? — Patience's coworkers in the Salem Police Department  have decided to honor her for 20 years of distinguished service. But one of the cops who has always been jealous of Patience's accomplishments and who resents that his own work as a cop has gone unnoticed for 30 years, sets out to ruin Patience's reputation.

Later, Patience is tasked with giving a forensic photographer intern for five days of training but is also not who she appears to be. She's really a warlock, and when she hears about Patience's coworker, she and the coworker join forces to make the new intern the full-time photographer, replacing Patience, while the co-worker's work will finally get noticed. The warlock sabotages Patience's darkroom, adding a potion of her own to the chemicals in her darkroom. Now whenever Patience develops a photo, smelling the potion in the chemicals puts her into a trance and she takes photos of members of the SPD that nobody wants the public to see.  Developing those pictures just makes things worse. In the meantime, the warlock takes the perfect pictures that also highlight the cop's work.

Phoebe is on spring break and has opted not to accompany her friends to Boston due to becoming sick at the last minute. Now recovered with three days until spring break concludes, she decides to get out of the house and jog around the neighborhood and notices one of their neighbors taking his rage out on his two young children. When she tells Prudence and Piper what she saw, Prudence has a premonition of one of the young children being killed by a car.

They ask for assistance from Paige who uses the SSS database and discovers that the father has recently lost his wife and the reports say he might lose custody of the children if he doesn't control his drinking. Now the Warrens set out to save the children.

But with Patience under her trance, she gets angry when she finds out and marches into the house and takes pictures of the man beating his children. The warlock, who has been following her, tells the cop who catches Patience invading the privacy of the public without a warrant, so he arrests Patience. But the warlock makes it worse: she uses a spell to turn one of the photos of the man beating his children into one of Patience killing the young boy with her car. 

Will the Warrens be able to stop Patience from doing what she has no control over? Can they save Patience's reputation as a forensic photographer and help a troubled family and rescue the young child?

I suggested a tagline and added it to the press release above. Feel free to change it back, if needed?

PRUDENCE: Looks much better Es.

The tagline I think might need more work maybe and less long. Something simple like maybe will Patience lose everything important to her.

Something like that maybe? I'm not great at taglines. But making a suggestion.

SUMMER: I hope you continue to do more stories Prudence. Yeah the taglines maybe just need to be simple. 

Looking at the stories so far. I've forgotten Andrea has made her debut appearance in the other universe only. Unless of course she's present at Victors funeral briefly and we're to assume she's present but a press release doesn't mention that of course. 

I feel a story based around Patience and her daughters should be a focus of a S1 episode for one of the last few press releases we write up. I know we've had moments throughout the season. I just think one all around their relationship should be a key focus in a story.

PRUDENCE: Many thanks to Es for the inspiration! 

ESMERALDA: My pleasure. Glad that your idea to do something with Patience's office inspired me to inspire you!

SUMMER: Prudence, well-done!!! I' so proud of you for attempting to do one. I've been very busy this weekend, and haven't had a chance to do any myself. But I'm so pleased that others keep on adding to our count.

PRUDENCE: 

----------------------

PRUDENCE: The wording might need work, and some editing required if someone can work it a little better, go for it guys!

Spring Break according to me googling I found in Salem it is between March 15 Friday Spring Break starts and March 25 Monday Spring Break ends, Classes start), so we can easily adjust the episode placement when needed to episode 16 which has an air date of April 7th. 

I'll let you guys title and tagline it. I can't think of anything at the moment.

So feel free to edit, or change it?

SASHA: Like the story connecting all the Warrens and Patiences job.

PHEEBS: Glad you decided to do another one Prudence. Loving seeing more and more members having a go at them.

ESMERALDA: I agree totally! Here's my edit:

SUMMER: Great job!

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

Season 1, Episode 18: ‘Who Says Pictures Can't Lie?'

JEALOUSY AND HATE AGAINST PATIENCE MAY COST HER EVERYTHING INCLUDING HER INNOCENCE — Patience's coworkers in the Salem Police Department have decided to honor her for 20 years of distinguished service. But one of the cops who has always been jealous of Patience's accomplishments and who resents that his own work as a cop has gone unnoticed for 30 years, sets out to ruin Patience's reputation.

Later, Patience is tasked with giving a forensic photographer intern for five days of training but is also not who she appears to be. She's really a warlock, and when she hears about Patience's coworker, she and the coworker join forces to make the new intern the full-time photographer, replacing Patience, while the co-worker's work will finally get noticed. The warlock sabotages Patience's darkroom, adding a potion of her own to the chemicals in her darkroom. Now whenever Patience develops a photo, smelling the potion in the chemicals puts her into a trance and she takes photos of members of the SPD that nobody wants the public to see.  Developing those pictures just makes things worse. In the meantime, the warlock takes the perfect pictures that also highlight the cop's work.

Phoebe is on spring break and has opted not to accompany her friends to Boston due to becoming sick at the last minute. Now recovered with three days until spring break concludes, she decides to get out of the house and jog around the neighborhood and notices one of their neighbors taking his rage out on his two young children. When she tells Prudence and Piper what she saw, Prudence has a premonition of one of the young children being killed by a car.

They ask for assistance from Paige who uses the SSS database and discovers that the father has recently lost his wife and the reports say he might lose custody of the children if he doesn't control his drinking. Now the Warrens set out to save the children.

But with Patience under her trance, she gets angry when she finds out and marches into the house and takes pictures of the man beating his children. The warlock, who has been following her, tells the cop who catches Patience invading the privacy of the public without a warrant, so he arrests Patience. But the warlock makes it worse: she uses a spell to turn one of the photos of the man beating his children into one of Patience killing the young boy with her car. 

Will the Warrens be able to stop Patience from doing what she has no control over? Can they save Patience's reputation as a forensic photographer and help a troubled family and rescue the young child?

I like the sounds of an episode based around those three. Not sure what plot though.

Some new Deadline Articles:

Classic Charmed stars offer their support to 'Elemental Charmed'

Rose McGowan, the actress who played Paige after the departure of Shannen Doherty in the Classic Charmed series, has given the go-ahead to the reboot. The actress has posted a message on Twitter "I wish everyone the best, I have no problem with the reboot, fly, girls, fly," the interpreter wrote.


Rose, revealed "Hearing that Connie is going to be involved, I feel the reboot is in good hands. She created the original story, I have full faith in her for taking care of her baby, and I'm so excited for a new generation to get attached and grow up with good role models for the world we live in today"


However, despite the fact that Rose McGowan was not opposed to 'Charmed', the actress supports her sister in fiction and, after the previous one, message has published another in the social network: "But I also fully support Holly Marie Combs about the feelings and honor of 'Charmed' ". But Holly Marie Combs (who played Piper Halliwell in the Classic Charmed series) has since changed her tune when she realized that the series was in the great hands of Connie Burge. "I got worked up because Charmed has a special place in my heart, but then I sooner realized that Connie and the original team are behind this project, and the reboot is much different than I originally realized and the concept is very good. Then Again, I've been known to get worked up over anything. (laughs) So I wish them well, and I truly mean that"

"I’m just glad that it’s here finally because we’ve been hearing about this reboot for however many years, what has it been, maybe four years now?” Alyssa Milano who played Phoebe Halliwell in the Classic Charmed series) mentioned in an interview. “And I feel like it’s either going to succeed or not, and if it succeeds again, a whole new generation will be exposed to the beauty of what Charmed was able to be for people, and if it doesn’t succeed, then we don’t have to hear about it anymore.” 

Shannen Doherty (who played Prue Halliwell in the Classic Charmed series) revealed at an event in Santa Monica for "Stand Up to Cancer" her thoughts on the reboot:

“I think it's great. I think it's awesome,” Shannen said.

She also had nothing but praise for Constance. M. Burge. “I think second lives are amazing, so I'm all for it… I'm happy to see that a show back in the hands of Connie, that back then was all about strong women who supported and loved each other, is now coming back again in this day and age. Connie was so great the first time and I'm sure she'll be just as great the second time. It's about female empowerment again -- not that that's something new. Charmed originally was that too. I find the Elemental Charmed story from what I hear to be very interesting, and I especially like the take of making it about family and not just sisters. It added an interesting element that I think will allow it to stand on its own. I'm so excited for Connie and her team and wish them all the best."

"Connie who I always admire for the story she crafted back in 1998, and what led me to get the best job I ever had. I'm excited to see what she has installed for us this time around" Alyssa added.

“Elemental Charmed” will premiere Sunday, October 14 on The CW

A Classic Charmed Reunion: "20 Years of Charmed Special" begins filming in studio 

Shannen Doherty, Alyssa Milano, and Holly Marie Combs have all reunited for the first time since 2001 in the same room. 

Although the stars have feuded over the years, they’ve agreed to put that aside for the special as a thank-you present to the fans.
All three took to social media to post snaps of the three sitting inside a studio where the three to anchor an hour-long retrospective look at the Classic original series.

The three got along so well an insider revealed, even if Shannen and Holly are not on speaking terms these days. The two managed to put aside differences for the fans. "It was like a high school reunion" Alyssa remarked 

The three touched on the 'Elemental Charmed' reboot with praise. Holly who had been known to be a little against the reboot originally said she has completely turned around and was especially pleased that they changed the name and didn't just name it Charmed. 

'We did speak highly of some of the fun times we had on set' Shannen revealed. "Charmed means so much to all of us, and doing it for the fans feels like we're giving back to them. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have a show"

But some moments not so positive. When Shannen mentions the words 'Wendigo' it sent Holly into a rant about how much she hated the experience of filming that episode. Then they spoke about one of the stars to come out of Charmed and do so well like Amy Adams (Superman movies), Mischa Collins (also now on Supernatural also on The CW) or Michael Weatherly (Bull). 

Also having filmed material for the special will be some former writers including Constance M. Burge, who will executive produce the 'Elemental Charmed series'


The one-hour special titled "‘Charmed’: 20 Years of Magic" will see the three stars reuniting and reflecting on the legacy of the series, the impact it has on pop culture, and just why now is the perfect time for ‘Charmed’ to return. The special will also showcase some previously unseen footage from popular ‘Charmed’ episodes, and will give viewers a deeper look into the making of “Elemental Charmed”, the new ‘Charmed’ reboot, set to begin the following week.


“Elemental Charmed” will premiere Sunday, October 14 on The CW
with the 20th Anniversary special set to air the week before following the rebroadcast of the cult classic's premiere episode, 'Something Wicca This Way Comes', which will be the first ‘Charmed’ episode to be broadcasted in remastered HD.
