HAPPY 9TH MONTH DAY, ELEMENTAL CHARMED & TEAM CHARMED CAFE!

[Esmeralda]

I can't believe that tomorrow, May 14th, it will be NINE FULL MONTHS (I actually wrote Eight during a discussion during our Anniversary Re-Re-Watch) since Granny Charmed wanted to know what our idea of a reboot would be. That's what inspired this alternate-universe series that's been giving so many of us so much joy, especially as we try to forget the reboot that stole all of Charmed’s thunder on its 20th anniversary, and debuted back in October and will be around for at least this season and next.

I’ve decided to post an update in a separate thread each time we reach the 13th of each month, so members can enjoy the update on the actual "month-day" (as we call it), the 14th of each month. Up to this point, each month-day, I've posted a summary to show just how far we'd come and how far we had left to go before we reach our goal of 4 1/2 seasons for 100 episodes, but I NO LONGER HAVE TO! I’M VERY EXCITED AND PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT IN LESS THAN EIGHT MONTHS, WE REACHED OUR GOAL OF ONE HUNDRED EPISODES!

BUT there are some additions to this update – Pheebs Halliwell has continued in her capacity as our Deadline reporter with a few new articles. I’ve bolded those to make it easier for members to find.

But I have to admit that I still won’t be able to get to the editing the newer press releases until summer since I’ve been busy with work (I work at a wholesale florist, so getting ready for Easter and Mother’s Day keeps us extremely busy, so I usually crash as soon as I get home) and/or my University of Minnesota Golden Gopher baseball team, which will keep me busy both this week as I travel to Chicago to watch them play their last regular series *and* the Big Ten Tournament next week. which is now playing at home as well as on the road.

I’m hoping this will stop next month when I’m not busy with either work or Gophers, so I can have fun, not only editing, but also going through the entire series, re-ordering the episodes if necessary, looking for inconsistencies and fixing them, while editing the ones with the asterisks. To me, that sounds like great fun!

I’ll still post an update every month even though we have all 100 of our episodes and our series is complete except for my editing. Since I’m expecting Pheebs to continue to give us Deadline press releases as long as the rip-off keeps airing, I’m going to guess that I’ll still be doing monthly updates for at least the next year and longer if the rip-off goes more than two seasons, which I don’t think it will—ratings are too low—just calling it “Charmed” hasn’t taken away from doing story arcs right away before giving viewers a chance to get to know the characters the way Classic Charmed did and the way we did here in Elemental Charmed.

What I hope the rest of you will be able to do now that we’ve got our 100 is to go back and come up with titles for all the episodes that have “TBD” as either the episode title or the tagline or both. I don’t think that should be left to the writer – anyone can make suggestions and let the writer decide which one they want. I’ll do the same thing when I do my summer edits, but I’m not that good at that so if anyone else can (Pheebs? Summer? Miranda? Sasha? You’re all so good at that! Or anyone who is just reading so far – West? Olga? Katie? If you want to, go for it!) that would be great!

To make doing that easier, I’m going to bold all of those TBAs. Be sure to make your suggestions in the main brainstorming thread so the author can see it and decide if they want to use it.

I’ve also decided to skip the backstory so that if this is your first time reading about Elemental Charmed, it will be like you’re actually watching our show, not knowing what’s going to happen until it does. If this is the case for you, be sure to let us know what you think!


Here we go! Just like I’ve been doing, I’m going to put each season in its own post.

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

SEASON ONE

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 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

Logline: Two sisters in Salem, MA, 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.

Writing Staff: Sheryl J. Anderson, Paul Ruditis, Chris Levinson, Zach Estrin.

”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 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 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.”

Elemental Charmed debuts October 14th on The CW.

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 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 Charmed's Melinda Warren, the first Warren to be born in America. But unlike Charmed, these Warren women 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 daughters. 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 stars offer their support to "Elemental Charmed'"

Rose McGowan, the actress who played half-sister Paige after the departure of Shannen Doherty in the 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, women, fly."

McGowan revealed "Hearing that Constance Burge is going to be the executive producer, I feel the reboot is in good hands. I never got to work with her - never even met her - but after all, she created the original story. So I have full faith in her for taking care of her baby. I'm so excited that Charmed fans can identify with the older stars while a new generation can get attached to the two younger stars and grow up with good role models for the world we live in today."

"But," she added, "I also fully supported Holly Marie Combs about the feelings and honor of Charmed."

Indeed, Holly Marie Combs (who played Piper Halliwell in the Charmed series) has since changed her tune when she was informed that the series is now in the capable hands of Constance Burge. "I got worked up because Charmed has a special place in my heart, but then I found out that Connie and Sheryl and Paul and Chris and Zach are behind this project, and the reboot is much different than the ones that CBS tried to foist on fans earlier. This concept is very good - taking what we did with a show about three sisters who happen to be witches and making it about three generations of a family who happen to be witches. 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 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 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, especially because Connie’s in charge and there’s no signs of Brad Kern.” Kern was the showrunner on Charmed and has since been fired from CBS-TV for sexual harassment, something he was known to do during Charmed and has been blamed by fans for Doherty’s early depature.

Doherty also had nothing but praise for Burge.“I think second lives are amazing, so I'm all for it… I'm happy to see that Charmed is back in Connie's hands, that back then the show was all about strong women who supported and loved each other, and now it's coming back again in this day and age. Connie was so great the first time around, 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."

Milano added: "I’ve always admired Connie 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."

Elemental Charmed will premiere Sunday, October 14 on The CW.

Charmed Reboot Elemental Charmed Hits New York Comic Con and also teases the Charmeds‘ 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 Charmeds’ 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 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 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 the cult 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 Charmed available again. 2018 really is the Season of the Witch!

The first season of the 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 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.

Charmed Reboot Pilot Review: Elemental Charmed series is off to a magical, exciting start.

Critics have gained access to the first two episodes of the new Charmed reboot, and have offered their thoughts on Elemental Charmed.

Over a decade after the classic series aired its finale, Charmed returns to The CW on October 14 with a new take on the beloved fantasy drama. Instead of focusing on three sisters who have the Power of Three, this time it focuses on a two sisters, their mother, their aunt and their grandmother, while incorporating the natural elements: Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Spirit.

Constance M. Burge, who created Charmed has developed the new version. In this new take, the main thing that it has going for it is the common bonds of family spread out between all five women. Rather than focusing on three sisters who happen to be witches, it focuses on five family members who happen to be witches, navigating different family dynamics, jobs, saving innocents and protecting the world from supernatural threats.

The chemistry between Piper and Phoebe, Patience and Paige, Prudence and her daughters is very strong, and they all play off each other nicely, creating a believable family, parent and sisterly bond. This isn’t quite as true for Patience and her daughters, but that just makes it more realistic when we find that while Prudence and her daughters, Patience and Paige, living the life of modern witches in Salem, MA, the series begins with the youngest members of the family, Piper and Phoebe, living a somewhat ordinary life in San Francisco, CA, where they were raised by their father, Victor Bennett. But back in Salem, their grandmother Prudence has a premonition that kick-starts all the drama and sets the stage for Piper and Phoebe to accept their destiny as two of the Elemental Witches.

What was met with praise by the critics was the way the backstory let the viewer believe the reason why these two sisters who have powers were raised by their non-magical father rather than their magical relatives, although the critics were all certain that some pieces of the backstory were left unexplained, obviously for later in the series to deal with.

What was also met with praise was how easily the names so familiar to Charmed fans fit these new witches, even if they aren’t played by the original actors and are playing different roles. But their personalities are so similar to their Charmed counterparts that this as an alternate universe with different rules just made sense.

The whole first episode focuses on Piper and Phoebe understanding their destiny and embracing it. The second episode, which was also gained early access by critics, is more an adjustment period as the older Warrens settle Piper and Phoebe into their new home in Warren Manor in small-town Salem after growing up in big-city San Francisco.

What was also very different than Charmed but made the experience interesting is the fact that there was no traces of any potential love interests during the first two episodes. Truly, this should allow the viewers to get to know our five stars better, which will help viewers figure out if this show is for them, and if these characters are worth the following week to week.

Elemental Charmed is a series that is off to a very exciting start while still just fun to watch. The performances are uniformly solid, the story is interesting and by being totally female-centric with the exception of two dead husbands and one male warlock who is vanquished in the first episode, but seems to have a bigger role in the family, a true focus on female empowerment. Most fans (and critics) agree that it took Charmed a few weeks to find its footing. We plan on hanging around for a few more weeks and get a sense for whether its reboot does the same or stumbles.

Grade: 4.5/5

Elemental Charmed Review: CW Reboot Casts A Spell On Both Older and Newer Generations

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details about the pilot episode of Elemental Charmed.

In 1998, The WB released Charmed, a fantastically witchy fantasy series where three sisters discover they have powers of the occult — but the good kind. Fast-forward 20 years later and The WB is now The CW and the sisters – now a matriarch, her two daughters and her two granddaughters - are back in a reboot that is in the center of a Venn diagram between 1998 and 2018. It feels fresh enough to appeal to the millennial generation, while also feeling like something out of the late 90’s which should appeal to Charmed fans. Seems appropriate since late ’90s nostalgia is circling back on the trend cycle with so many reboots, especially on The CW and its parent network, CBS-TV.

Elemental Charmed, The CW’s reboot of Charmed, debuts on Oct. 14. It will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of its predecessor with an exclusive sneak peek of its pilot during New York Comic-Con on Oct. 8, which happens to be one day after the original premiered in 1998. Charmed fans attending the con will be able to celebrate the actual anniversary with both a special that offers a retrospective look at the show's legacy, along with a rebroadcasting of Charmed’s pilot episode, the first time a Charmed episode will be broadcasted in HD.

Constance M. Burge, who created Charmed, created this new version. Rather than focusing on just three sisters who happen to be witches, this one centers around five family members who happen to be witches. What also makes it different than its predecessor is the absence of male co-stars—in the Year of the Woman, the opening credits only show the actresses who play the five Warrens: TBC1, known for her role in TBD, who plays matriarch Prudence Warren; TBC2, known for her role in TBD, who plays her older daughter, Patience Warren; TBC3, known for her role in TBD, who plays her younger daughter, Paige Warren, and newcomers TBC4, who plays Patience’s older daughter, Piper Warren, and TBC5 who plays Patience’s younger daughter, Phoebe Warren. Yes, Charmed fans, the names sound familiar, as do the personalities—a nod to Charmed--but all five are playing totally different roles.

The series begins with a shot of Warren Manor, which looks much like Halliwell Manor except it’s grey rather than pink and has a noticeable attic, then we go inside to be introduced to Prudence, Patience and Paige, who we discover are witches with powers as they discuss mixing potions, writing spells and saving innocents—humans who have no knowledge of the reality of magic. This appears to be just an ordinary day for these three witches when suddenly has a premonition through her Spirit Element: a warlock (guest star TBD) attacking her granddaughters, leading to the opening credits, followed by aerial views first of Salem and then San Francisco as the guest credits roll.

Then we see Piper coming home from running her restaurant at the same time that Phoebe comes back from taking a college exam. They are greeted at the front door by their father, Victor (guest star TBD). Through their discussion, we discover that Victor has no powers (yes, Charmed fans, that sounds familiar…) while the girls have no idea that they do.

Suddenly the warlock appears and kills Victor just before Prudence, Patience and Paige appear, courtesy of Paige using her Air Element to transport them to California. After dispatching the warlock, Patience first comforts her terrified daughters and then explains to them something they never knew: they come from a long line of witches, and if the two younger ones accept their own powers and destiny, the five of them will become the Elemental Witches, a set of witches who by controlling the elements can protect those innocent of the existence of magic from evil magic by vanquishing warlocks and all sorts of supernatural threats. That’s a lot of responsibility — not to mention crazy for two young women who only this morning did not know that witches existed. That said, the pilot focuses on the two sisters learning to accept their destiny, and it isn't an easy ride.

During all of this, we can easily see the close relationship between Patience and Paige, between Piper and Phoebe, even between Prudence and her daughters, due to the chemistry between the actresses, but not so much between Patience and her daughters, but given the backstory, that makes sense.

During the rest of this first chapter of this reboot, 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 and leaving their lives in San Francisco behind them.

The episode concludes with the funeral service for Victor. The service is crowded with mourners, obviously Victor was well-known and well loved. We find that Andrea Halliwell (recurring guest star TBC6), Prudence's dead husband’s twin sister and Patience's favorite aunt, has made the trip. It was nice to see the characters receiving some comfort from loved ones and friends.

What surprises us is that there are no men with their arms around one of the Warrens. We realize that we’ve yet to see any sign of a love interest outside Allen, Patience’s dead husband who’s Andrea’s twin brother, and Victor, who has just died. No, in this series, the focus will always be on the five Warren women, not their men.

We watch the long, slow drive to the Californian cemetery and the service at the gravesite, as we see flashbacks of Patience’s life with Victor in Salem, the decision for them to pretend to divorce so that after binding the girls’ powers and erasing memories of them from 10-year-old Piper’s memory (baby Phoebe is too young to have any), Victor moves them across country.

After everyone leaves the cemetery, Piper and Phoebe are watching as their father’s coffin is lowered into its grave. After a moment of tearful silence, they inform Patience, Paige and Prudence that they are ready to accept their powers and the decision to relocate back to Salem.

The first episode ends a couple of days after the funeral service, with Piper and Phoebe standing outside Warren Manor with their mother, suitcases in hand. Prudence opens the front door and she and Paige come outside, arms spread, saying welcome. Both Piper and Phoebe step into their arms and then Patience embraces all of them.

We kept waiting for the five of them to step aside and wondering which Warren will use her power to close the door, but suddenly we found ourselves up in the Warren attic, looking at a close-up of the Warren family book of shadows (not The Book of Shadows…) and the Pentagram lights up. This means that unlike Charmed, Elemental Charmed won’t begin and end each season with the typical Manor door closing. It was a welcomed surprise.

Elemental Charmed brings back a familiar feeling of fantasy-driven television — the same feeling you felt when you watched the lineup on The CW back when it was called The WB. It felt very much of the 90s popular hits. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, it just keeps the general bullet points of the original series, but making enough changes so it doesn't feel like a complete rip-off, had it just focused on three sisters again. Also leaving out any signs of love interests, allowed us to really get to know what is important to the series...the relationship of the five main characters: not just sister/sister but mother/daughter, grandmother/granddaughter, aunt/niece. Female empowerment is back with a twist, and it seems relevant more now than ever.

6 Things to Know About The CW’s New Elemental Charmed Series

At New York Comic Con 2018, Deadline moderated the panel for the new Elemental Charmed series and we can confidently say that this show will make you want to call your mom, sister, aunt or grandmother. The first episode of the new series will run on The CW Sunday, Oct 14th, just in time for witchy Halloween vibes and a solid boost of female fun to take us into November. Below, six things to know before tuning in.

It’s a show rooted in family, embracing three generations, the Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials.

Although The CW originally wanted a new series about three sisters with three different fathers who discover they are witches and that would be all about female empowerment and taking down the patriarchy and simply called Charmed, this idea angered so many from classic Charmed fans (whom the network would hope would embrace the idea) that The CW trashed that idea and instead turned to Constance M. Burge, who created the classic version, to come up with a new concept. Originally she wanted to do a prequel of the original Halliwell sisters story, but again fans insisted that it was much too soon for a series like that. Instead Burge came up with a different family with similar names but a different set-up - a Baby Boomer matriarch, her two Generation X daughters and her two Millennial granddaughters.

Rather than taking on the issues of the day, which would've quickly dated the series, Burge used the same ideas that made Charmed a classic - a fantasy series that allows viewers to sit back and forget the outside world for an hour, but this time they get to watch how the different generations reacts to and solves a problem. The show’s five lead actors TBC1 who plays matriarch Prudence, TBC2 who plays her older daughter Patience, TBC3, who plays her younger daughter, Paige, TBC4 who plays Patience's older daughter Piper, and TBC5 who plays Patience's younger daughter, Phoebe, described this element of the series as “fascinating.”

TBC1 talked about how important it is to her that the series has a “point of view and a voice for her generation, the Baby Boomers," adding that "typically my generation rarely appear in a fantasy drama and usually doesn't have much of a role, and either end up dead or already are dead, like Charmed's Grams and Patty. (she laughs). It's nice to play someone who's alive and can truly be he leader of the family, even if her power isn't used to fight the villains."

TBC3 added, "And my generation, the Generation Xers who grew up watching Charmed, haven't been forgotten either. Both TBC2 and I are hoping that by representing them, that it will allow more than just the typical Millennials who usually watch shows on The CW and by including TBC4 and TBC5, will encourage them to watch with their children or grandchildren."

TBC2 described the show’s "consciousness” as being one of the chief things that drew her to the series. "You have all the different generation groups having a voice. Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials - even Generation Z. They remind me of me watching Charmed. It was a show about young women, but as a young teenager, I wanted to grow up to be just like them. That's what we're hoping for with this. It truly is a show for any female, and is the perfect way to bring together fans who watched Charmed when it was first aired, those who found it through the reruns, and those who have never heard of Charmed, but want to watch a show about a family of strong women who happen to be witches.”


It might not be a series for everyone.

Because there are no male stars, this series may not be for viewers who want a lot of romance in their shows. Although there might be some later on, as of the second episode, there is no traces of any potential love interests. So far the only male warlock (we've yet to see a demon...) we've seen was killed in the first episode. There seems to be something more to him, but it's definitely not something that will lead to romance.

Instead, the ideal audience, according to TBC5, is all females, especially high-school girls and college girls who can watch it with their mothers who were fans of Charmed, and if her grandmother wants to watch with them, too, all the better. The hope is that it’s a show moms and daughters can enjoy together, something to get them all up in those good family feelings without all of the complications a romantic relationship can add to a family.

The CW has never done a series that doesn't begin with love interests and the network is very curious to see how it is received.


This is a dark, gritty kind of reboot.

Elemental Charmed's pilot makes clear that it will be dealing with the intense emotional territory. It’s a show about family, about emotions and friendship and rivalry and grief. Unlike some fantasy series that doesn't take the fantasy aspect seriously, this one does because the actors do with their reactions truly making viewers wonder if all five Warrens will survive the episode. That’s part of the cross-generational appeal — the goal is for the show to be one you want to watch with your mom, not one that’s going to make you feel uncomfortable while also concentrating on typical problems any family faces in daily life, with the action taking place at a crime scene (Patience works as a forensic photographer), Salem Social Services (Paige is a full social worker), Piper's restaurant (she does all the cooking), or Phoebe's college (she's a freshman who works on the school paper) as Warren Manor.


There are lots of warlocks and a little sprinkle of other supernatural threats

And they’re tough to act with! TBC2, TBC3, TBC4 and TBC5 all described this as one of the most challenging aspects of the production because so many of the big, tense scenes involve magic and special effects that are added afterward. They described the action sequences as “a choreography,” something that also requires trust. It’s also something they’re still working out the kinks on. TBC4, whose character Piper has control over the elemental power of fire, mentioned that they’ve tried playing scenes when she first finds out that she can control fire different ways, and they’re still trying to figure out the best system for how to use it.

TBC3 added, "Controlling my Element power of Air is so much fun. When it's time to go home, I often imagine teleporting myself home from the set - it would save so much time!"


The main production team includes those who worked on the first few seasons of Charmed

As mentioned earlier, Constance M. Burge, who created Charmed is the executive producer of Elemental Charmed and she brought some of writers from the first three seasons of Charmed to Elemental Charmed:. Although Elemental Charmed will have a different vibe than the original, much of it will still feel familiar to Charmed viewers. The big change comes to the series not being just about three sisters who happen to be witches, but five family members who happen to be witches. It’s a mix of fantasy, drama and emotionally-intense stories that will find you sighing with relief as the ending credits run.


It will be a balance of warlock and supernatural threats of the week and ongoing mysteries.

According to its five lead actresses, the new series will replicate Charmed's tension between solving an ongoing mystery and introducing supernatural threats-of-the-week characters who need dispatching in each episode, in addition to innocents of the week - and in this case, innocents are those who are innocent of the reality of magic, so they're not all goody two-shoes. Hopefully, that will put the new series in a sweet spot of serial storytelling that’s becoming all-too-rare for TV, shows that play with both episodic structure and season-length mysteries. It’s more fun when there are demons (or in this reboot warlocks) around who need vanquishing.

The ongoing mystery regarding Paige and her long-dead daughter, is briefly touched on and TB3 adds with a smile, is something that will come back into play throughout the series.

The CW's Charmed Reboot: Elemental Charmed reception shows the series might be a success

The Power of Three was reconstituted Sunday as the Power of Five Elements as two young sisters watched as their family took down the warlock who killed their father before discovering a magical legacy and making the decision to rejoin their family to become the Elemental Witches, the new Charmed Ones.

Elemental Charmed, The CW’s reboot of Charmed, had its opening debut on Oct. 14, and came back with very positive responses by fans and critics alike. The reboot trended at number 2 on Twitter, right behind Sunday Night Football.

TBC5, who portrays Phoebe, the youngest Warren, was a star-struck, chatting to fans on her Twitter and live-tweeting along with both new and old fans, most of whom were calling her Phoebe rather than TBC5. She had these words to say to the fans: "Thank you so much for joining us at the beginning of our journey as Elemental Witches. I hope you continue to follow us as we share more stories about these five magical women."

TBC1, who portrays Prudence, the oldest Warren, does not have a social media account but was watching the first episode alongside TBC3, who portrays Paige, while following her account and the two were blown away by the incredible response to Elemental Charmed.

One fan, asked TBC5, "Which episode are you most excited for us to see?" TBC5's Twitter response: "Episode 3 and 4. Just you wait to see what happens!"

Elemental Charmed creator sits down to chat with us about the first episode and the feedback from viewers and critics

Executive producer Constance M. Burge discuss the response to the series, and why she decided to help bring Charmed back.


CBS Production has been trying to reboot Charmed since 2013. When and how did you finally come on board?

I was approached to do it by CBS Productions in 2017, after two earlier attempts didn't come out the way they wanted. I was intrigued with the idea of reinventing Charmed. I really liked what Paul Ruditis did with witches who could control the Elements in his Charmed novel, "The Brewing Storm", so I decided to pitch the idea of turning the Charmed Ones into Elementals Witches, and the network gave me the green light to try writing the story. When they gave me the thumbs up to try turning it into a script, I immediately asked Paul to join the project. He agreed but he wanted someone who was part of early Charmed, when I was an executive producer, and I immediately thought of Sheryl J. Anderson and the way she portrayed the Halliwells. She also jumped at the chance. Had either turned the project down, I don't think I would've agreed to continue. They wrote the pilot script and did a fantastic job.

How did you decide to make this series about Elemental Witches rather than just rebooting Charmed with just three sisters?

Actually originally I did have it be the three sisters, Prue, Piper and Phoebe, with them just controlling Earth, Fire and Water. I'm sure that's part of how I got CBS Productions to let me try. But both Paul and Sheryl thought that in the updated version we'd want to be different than what was previously done. They thought the series would work better if we had five witches, one to control each element. But five sisters just seemed to be too much, so that's when they suggested turning it into a family of a matriarch, her two daughters and one of the daughters' two daughters. As soon as they suggested that, the idea of this being about a family with three generations appealed to me so much. I just wasn't sure if The CW would agree - it's so different than what is usually shown on that network - until Paul reminded me that The WB's most popular show once Buffy jumped to The UPN was a show about a family - 7th Heaven. So we tried and fortunately The CW decided to give it a try. The network was very supportive regarding the idea of one of our leads being in her early ‘70s, not a younger actress made up to look older.

What was your process for staffing the writers' room?

She laughs Well, after Sheryl and Paul's pilot script was accepted, I had to ask them. I adored Sheryl J. Anderson's version of the Charmed Ones on Charmed - she wrote most of my own favorite episodes - and I love how Paul Ruditis wrote the Charmed Ones in both his novels and the Charmed comic books - they're how I'd imagine Prue, Piper and Phoebe would be had Prue not died. But I knew we'd need more than that and for the more dramatic episodes of Charmed, I didn't think anyone did it better than the team of Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin. It didn't surprise me when neither would come on-board if the other wasn't. (she laughs) Of course, due to deadlines, I doubt if only those five will write all of the episodes, but we'll all edit the other scripts to make sure that everything remains consistent - when talking Charmed I've heard the word "inconsistency" too often. We're determined not to have that happen to Elemental Charmed.

The pilot has been met with such good responses. How do you feel about that?

I admit that I was very nervous, since I knew we have something quite a bit different than the previous incarnations that were in development. Sometimes differences are accepted; sometimes they're not. And this is different;: it is fresh; it has a range of different personalities. It's tackling family issues but from the points of view across three generations - it's not just about young people. But it has a great mix of fantasy, and it focuses on a family who happen to be witches. I had no idea what viewers would think, but I'm totally blown away by the great response.

We wanted Elemental Charmed to bring back the familiar feeling of fantasy-driven television — that same feeling you felt when you watched the lineup on The CW back when it was called The WB. I'm so glad that what we hoped to achieve has paid off.

How much interaction did you have with the original Charmed stars while producing this series?

Although they have been conflicted in the past, I think once they saw that Sheryl, Paul and I were in charge and then heard what we were doing with Elemental Charmed, they've supported us. In fact, they've asked whether they can make guest appearances. if the show isn't successful, we might have to consider that, but I hope we won't have to. We want this one to be able to stand on its own feet, the reason we decided to call it Elemental Charmed rather than Charmed.

Can we expect any Easter Eggs for viewers of the original series in this series?

Oh, yes. Warren Manor. The family book of shadows with a Pentagram on the cover. The names of the characters, their personalities, the powers, they're all nods to Charmed. And other names of characters will sound familiar, too, even if the characters are totally different. But as I said, we don't want to have too many. I want this show to stand on its own two feet and not rely too heavily on what was seen on Charmed. Although I have to admit that we do have one upcoming episode that will have a few winks to Charmed.

What was it like to celebrate the Charmed anniversary?

The original writers and I had so much fun getting to be involved in last week's retrospective look. When the original first-season stars agreed to be part of the interviews, I didn't think they'd want us and we were all thrilled to be part of it. I know how much it meant to the fans that the stars were able to put aside their differences in order to honor what came before, especially before the reboot got going. I was so glad when I learned that it would debut the following week.

The CW's Elemental Charmed Conjures Up Strong Ratings for The CW

Elemental Charmed was part of The CW's first Sunday-night programming in 10 years and put up larger-than-expected numbers opposite the highest-rated 'Sunday Night Football' in more than a year.

The series actually beat its lead-in Supergirl's ratings.

Both shows delivered good ratings among adults 18-49 — tied for first among CW shows in the network's opening week with Riverdale and Supernatural tied for third.. Elemental Charmed brought in almost twice as many viewers as its lead-in in total viewers (3.52 million vs. 1.53 million for Supergirl), and The CW's core Adult 18-34 demo (2.0 vs. 1.2). It was the highest-rated new series on The CW in quite some time, which is very unusual for a Sunday show.

The CW's Elemental Charmed: Week Two ratings proves viewers are still Charmed

The CW got some good news with its new Sunday night line-up being stable last night.

For the coveted adult 18-49 The CW's Elemental Charmed was down .1 percent from its reboot debut last week, while its lead-in Supergirl, was down .5 percent. Already critics are wondering if moving Supergirl to Sunday night was a mistake.

Overall, Elemental Charmed (3.75 mil/2.1) was up 17 percent from its reboot debut. This makes it still the highest performing new series for the network for the year.

Viewers and critics alike have praised the second episode, which was said to be even stronger than the pilot episode. It will be interesting to see how the reboot's first season performs as the television season progresses.

The CW will likely announce a full-season order for Elemental Charmed in the coming weeks.

Elemental Charmed Celebrates Halloween in typical Warren style

Things are gettin' spooky on the CW's new iteration of Charmed.

The show is celebrating Halloween this week with a big Halloween party (duh). There's also a warlock (of course it is, and of course she's female - that's taken some getting used to, but it's fun and helps make the show female-centric in a way Charmed never was.) on the loose, meaning those costumes had better be practical for warlock-chasing.

Deadline was on set for the Halloween party and got the scoop on the soiree. Because, naturally, in typical Warren fashion, their party doesn't go without some drama.

At one point, Phoebe stumbles upon a vase from her ancestor that releases an ancient curse. TBC5 said in an on-set interview "This was one episode I had so much fun filming"

"We're in the midst of a Halloween party, enjoying ourselves, when of course my on-screen granddaughter cannot help herself," TBC1 says. "Prudence cannot stop her before Phoebe accidentally reads the inscription on the ancient vase, releasing an ancient curse."

"The episode plot was so creative, with what the curse does to each of the Warrens and their daily lives," TBC3 added. 'And it's a throwback to one of my favorite Charmed episodes, "Sense and Sense-Ability", although naturally, the curse hits us Warrens differently than it did the Halliwells, because only my on-screen grandmother is at the Manor. The rest of us are at work, except Phoebe who's in a class. And it's all pretty serious and scary, not funny like that one."

"I loved my Halloween costume", TBC4 smiled, noting that the show's costume designer went all out in style. "So different than what Piper usually wears."

You can see Elemental Charmed get a little wild this Sunday, and hear more from the cast in the video above. Be sure to check out our interview with the costume designer, too.

BIRTHDAYS, HALLOWEEN AND A CURSED VASE — With Halloween approaching, Patience feels like a horrible big sister and a worse mother when she realizes that with everything going on with Victor's death and her daughters moving to Salem, she's completely forgotten her sister Paige's birthday was only a week ago, and her own daughter Phoebe's birthday is only a few days away. With help from Prudence and Piper, Patience decides to turn their Halloween party into a combined surprise birthday party for the two.

While looking in the attic for possible party favors, Piper stumbles on an antique vase. Prudence smiles when she sees it, explaining that it once belonged to their ancestor, Mary Ann Warren, the first Warren to be born in America.

At the party, both Paige and Phoebe are properly surprised, and the party goes well until before Prudence can stop her, Phoebe accidentally reads the inscription on the vase, releasing an ancient curse.

The next day, Phoebe loses her sense of sight in the middle of an important college exam; Piper loses her sense of taste while testing her cooking at work, Paige loses her sense of hearing and can't hear a word her latest client at work says; Patience loses her sense of touch and can't pick up her camera, while Prudence, home by herself, loses her voice so when a warlock attacks, she's unable to call for help.

Elemental Charmed gets full order for 22-episode first season on The CW

Following the airing of the show's first three episodes, CBS Studios, which owns The CW has officially ordered a back-nine order of 9 episodes for the freshman fantasy drama series.

Charles Smith, the president of CBS Studios spoke at a recent press interview: "I'm very pleased with the results of Elemental Charmed. As we hoped, it has connected with new and old fans alike, and has become a success. We hoped the series would also connect with a much older crowd, not just the younger crowd who usually watch The CW. We have a few older women among our main cast, and our aim is that the people who watched the original series will be able to relate and that their mothers and children might also be able to watch and relate."

In an interview, executive producer Constance M. Burge said she couldn't contain her excitement when she got the call from Smith himself. "I was nervous when I got the call - I thought we were already being canceled. So that relief really made my day."

TBC5, who plays Phoebe Warren, said she was blown away by the response. Noting that although she was too young to see the original series, she added, I'm so glad that the show has found a new group of fans, and that old fans of the original series are also following the new series.

Burge said she is already working with her writers on new ideas for future episodes and already has some big storylines for the back nine episodes.”Had we not been given an order of 22 episodes, my plan of attack was to wrap up storylines with the thirteenth episode. I never intended to end the series on a cliffhanger. Although we are currently working on the eleventh episode, I'm so thrilled that our team will be able to produce many more episodes and now we're all back in the writers' room pitching new stories for the back nine episodes."

But one of the most frequently asked questions is always if and when will the Charmed stars appear. Burge reassured fans: "That door isn't closed completely, but we want to focus our energy on viewers getting to know these Warren witches. We don't want to feel like we have to ride the original stars' coattails in order to be a success."

Are Network TV’s Reboots and Revivals Succeeding This Season? Elemental Charmed Verdict

Deadline continues its analysis of all of the reboots and revivals that have started this new television season. Today, Deadline focuses on Elemental Charmed, The CW’s reboot of the classic series, Charmed.

Die-hard fans of the original WB series and the cast Ghostbuster-ed the CW’s reboot from the moment it became clear the old cast wouldn’t be a part of it. However, that seems to have changed once more people knew what the concept was about, and, even more importantly, who was involved. To the surprise of the network, reactions have been positive so far, despite the show including older stars and no love interests.

But guess what: actual viewers really seem to be into the show. The first three episodes have averaged a very-good-for-the-CW 3.5 million viewers, putting Elemental Charmedahead of lead-in Supergirl and network staples such as Legends of Tomorrow and Black Lightning. What’s more, CW says its Sunday newcomer is already the network’s third most-watched streamed show this season, behind only Riverdale and The Flash. It’s early, but so far, Elemental Charmed is casting quite the spell.

The outlook: Although the series has already been given nine more episodes, no word yet on additional episodes, but it’s hard not to see the CW sticking by this reboot a while.

Bottom line: A strong anchor for CW’s fledgling Sunday lineup.

New episodes of Elemental Charmed air Sundays at 9/8c on The CW.

Elemental Charmed gets a full order for 22-episode first season on The CW

CBS Studios, which owns The CW, has announced that they’re officially adding nine more episodes to Elemental Charmed, their Charmed reboot series, giving it a 22-episode full season. It starsTBC1, TBC2, TBC3, TBC4 and as the show’s powerful witch family. The series made its debut in October and is currently on its fifth episode which is set to air on November 11th.

Charles Smith, the president of CBS Studios, spoke at a recent press interview: "I'm very pleased with the results of Elemental Charmed. As we hoped, it has connected with new and old fans alike, and has become a success. As we hoped, the series has connected with a much older crowd, not just the younger crowd who usually watch The CW. We have a few older women among our main cast, and our aim is that the people who watched the original series will be able to relate, meaning mothers and daughters might also be able to watch and relate. We were concerned that the lack of love interests would keep the numbers down, but as of this time, that hasn’t been the case."

Elemental Charmed is averaging a 2.1 rating in adults 18-49 and 4.7 million viewers per episode in Live+7, on average doubling its key demo rating. Elemental Charmed improves 84 percent among total viewers, 105 percent in 18-34 and 108 percent with 18-49.

In an interview, executive producer Constance M. Burge said she couldn't contain her excitement when she got the call from Smith himself. "I was nervous when I got the call - I thought we were already being canceled. So that relief really made my day."

TBC5, who plays Phoebe, the youngest Warren, said she was blown away by the response. Noting that although she was too young to see the original series, she added, ”I'm so glad that our show has found a new group of fans, while the fans of the classic series are also following our new series.”

Burge said she is already working with her writers on new ideas for future episodes and already has some big storylines for the back nine episodes. ”Had we not been given the new order that gives us a full season of 22 episodes, my plan of attack was to wrap up storylines with the thirteenth episode. I never intended to end the series on a cliffhanger. Although we are currently working on the eleventh episode, I'm so thrilled that our team will be able to produce many more episodes. So now we're all back in the writers' room pitching new stories for the back nine episodes."

But one of the most frequently asked questions is always if and when will the classic Charmed stars appear. Burge reassured fans: "That door isn't closed completely, but we want to focus our energy on viewers getting to know these Warren witches. We don't want to feel like we have to ride the classic stars' coattails in order to be a success. I’m so glad that seems to be the case."

Elemental Charmed airs Sundays at 8:00 pm on The CW.

Elemental Charmed set to air Christmas-themed episode this December!

Halloween may be over, but these Elemental witches are not done just yet. The CW's Charmedreboot, Elemental Charmed, has just been picked up for an additional 9 episodes and fans just can't get enough of these Elemental Witches.

If the Elemental Charmed Halloween themed episode wasn't enough to keep you in the holiday spirits, Deadline has just learned that production is currently underway for a Christmas-themed episode set in the first season of Element Charmed!

Executive Producer Connie Burge revealed to the press how excited she was about this special episode: "Classic Charmed never did a Christmas-themed episode - all we got was that wonderfully moving family video the Halliwell sisters watched in an early episode of the first season. So Elemental Charmed's Christmas-themed episode is going to be a special Christmas present for the fans who helped make it happen. We promise it will be magical, filled with plenty of wonderful family moments.”

According to Burge, TBC, who will play Victor Bennett, Piper and Phoebe’s late father and Patience’s husband, will be central to the story according to Burge. "We are going to touch on more issues with the family mourning him. This is Piper and Phoebe’s first Christmas without their dad, so we simply cannot ignore that."

The sets are all currently being decorated to go with the Christmas theme. Deadline is currently on-location and set to interview the cast and crew, and the exclusive interviews for the Christmas-themed episode will be released closer to the airing of the episode. So stayed tuned!

New episodes of Elemental Charmed air Sundays at 9/8c on The CW, and the Christmas themed episode entitled ”The Warrens Who Saved Christmas” will air on December 16th to close out 2018, before the series goes on hiatus and returns January 20th, 2019 for the second half of Season One.

Paige's past will play an 'integral' role in the Elemental Charmed story

Elemental Charmed star TBC3, who plays Paige Warren, the younger daughter of matriarch Prudence has revealed to a secret to Deadline. ”I can’t wait for the fans to find out about Paige's past which will play an integral role in the story.”

TBC3 told us that as the season goes on, we’ll learn why the two youngest Warrens were raised by their father Victor on the other side of country with no knowledge of magic. To our surprise, it has a lot to do with Paige’s past and the only male warlock the Warrens have faced so far, but according to Executive Producer, Connie Burge, it’s a story they are just not ready to dig deep into yet:

"With us now having a full 22 episode season, we'll really be able to slowly build up our own mythology, and you'll discover backstories on all the Warrens as we progress in the series. But Season One, it felt like we needed to get to know the Warrens first: let Piper and Phoebe adjust to living in Salem, let these five women figure out what works for them, especially how to navigate their differences before we started to flesh out stories from the past in more detail."


Indeed, it’s not easy being an Elemental Witch, and that’s something that the two newest to magic, Piper and Phoebe, have discovered. The first half of Season One has been more about adjustment and understanding and knowing how to navigate the relationships between these five Warrens from three different generations than finding out what happened in the past.

“You’ve seen that Piper and Phoebe are still learning,” TBC1, who plays matriarch Prudence, tells Deadline. “They are still learning their craft. They’re not experts yet in how to use their powers or how our family book of shadows works, so it is up to the three older Warrens to teach them, even as those three learn more about the Power of the Elementals, something they never had until the two younger Warrens accepted their powers and their destinies."

TBC2, who plays Patience, Prudence’s daughter and Piper and Phoebe’s mother, smiled. "They’re all very different. And at the same time, it’s like five peas in a pod — they find themselves in tricky situations and all help each other out. The bond between them is growing, although you’ll see in the next few episodes that Victor's passing is still fresh on everyone's mind.”

Season 1, Episode 8: ”A Warren Family Feud”

TWO WARRENS TAKE A WALK IN THE OTHER WARREN’S SHOES — When Prudence and Paige try to meditate an argument Piper and Phoebe are having with their mother Patience in the Manor, Phoebe decides to stay overnight with a friend in the college dorms. Later, Patience tries to distract herself with work, Prudence goes to Piper’s restaurant while Paige goes to the dorms to encourage her niece to come home. Prudence explains to one of her granddaughters while Paige explains to one of her nieces about how hard it was for Patience to have Piper and Phoebe sent away across the country, and although Patience never talks much about it, it still hurts. The two youngest Warrens learn much more about the difficulties the three older Warrens had to face, things they’d never really thought about before.

Although Piper apologizes to her mother, Phoebe turns her back on her aunt, still wanting to stay in the dorm. Feeling like she’s failed her family, Paige casts a spell so both can feel what the other does, but it backfires – it switches Phoebe’s and Patience's bodies.

When Patience and Phoebe realize what Paige did, they decide to keep it on the down-low and fix the mess themselves, not wanting to get grilled by Prudence. The problem is: how do they fix it if they don’t know which spell Paige used?

While Patience and Phoebe take a walk in each other's shoes, letting them understand each other better, Prudence has a premonition. She sees Paige at SSS, caught up with trying to help two innocent children, who are both actually warlocks, using the disguise of children in order to steal the powers of young witches who have yet to come into their powers. Prudence rushes to warn her daughter, but the warlocks lure them both into a trap.

Having seen so much through her mother’s eyes, Phoebe eventually says sorry to Patience, and she, Patience and Piper start planning a weekly mother-daughters dinner, just for the three of them, every Thursday night at 6 pm in the private dining room at Piper’s restaurant, but her manager will do all of the cooking and serving so Piper won’t have to.

But before they can celebrate this wonderful newfound mother-daughter bonding, the three of them have to rescue the other two Warrens. Will they be able to adapt the spell to put Phoebe and Patience back in their own bodies, so they can properly use their Elemental powers or will these two Elemental Witches be unable to use their own power forever?

Exclusive Elemental Charmed clip shows the House of Warren at odds...

Two Warrens find themselves living the life of the other? In an exclusive Deadline interview, EC's executive producer, Connie Burge, revealed that this week's story was inspired by an idea one of the writers had in the writer's room. "I'm glad that our show isn't going to just brush off any unresolved issues under the rug, and that all five Warrens are always just happy. We are still in the period of adjustments, Piper and Phoebe are still getting used to everything, so it felt natural that we'd have a situation like this".

When that situation happens during the eighth episode, "A Warren Family Feud", airing this Sunday, December 2nd, on The CW, in typical Warren fashion, another family member cannot resist helping out, but also in typical Warren fashion, it backfires in an unexpected way. We'll also see a spell backfire in a very big way, letting both Warrens take a walk in the other one's shoes, and the other Elemental Witches will have to figure a way to straighten it out.


Watch two exclusive clips below. The first one shows Prudence and Paige trying to meditate an argument Piper and Phoebe are having with their mother Patience, while the second shows Paige casting a spell in the attic to make both Piper and Phoebe feel what the other does. Will this actually help resolve issues or will it just make it worse? We can't wait to find out!

Exclusive Elemental Charmed Episode Ten preview: A special Christmas episode is the fall finale!

Last month, Deadline was on location interviewing the cast and crew of Elemental Charmed about their Christmas-themed episode, ”The Warrens Who Saved Christmas”. Now these exclusive on-set interviews are ready to get viewers into the Christmas spirit.

TBC1, TBC2, and TBC4 were all taking a break between takes, talking about how special Christmas meant to them while TBC3 and TBC5 were filming a scene.

TBC1 told us about all about celebrating Christmas as a child back in the early 50s.

TBC2 smiled as she shared how her family would always go all out for Christmas with their front lawn all done up.

TBC4 mentioned how special her uncle and aunts Christmas parties were to her growing up.


Later Deadline asked if the Christmas-themed episode has any Easter Eggs for Classic Charmed fans – their present for the fans. TBC3 confirmed that fans will be treated to one moment that is especially lovely. TBC5 said another moment was the hardest to film, but the most rewarding. TBC1 said the Christmas episode will be filled with plenty of amazing family moments. She hopes it will be a special episode that fans will want to re-watch every Christmas season.

Executive Producer Connie Burge told us that she decided against making the episode a typical Elemental Charmed story with a demon or warlock needing to be vanquished. "It felt so much more natural and exciting to make the story all about the Warrens, and not to include any supernatural villains. I wanted this Christmas story to but be viewed more like a Christmas special that allows us an opportunity to see how the Warrens celebrate the holidays … and also some of the surprises that they encounter along the way."

She smiled. I was so pleased with how Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin wrote such a beautiful, heartwarming story. I cannot wait for everyone to see the episode.


Everyone who’s excited for the Elemental Charmed Christmas episode on The CW in one week’s time, here’s something more to remember: it’s the fall finale! But the episode should prove to be just what we need before the cast and crew go on the hiatus.


To top it off, The CW released two exclusive clips. The first one shows Piper and Phoebe at the mall deciding on gifts for their family, and meeting a father who has one year to live and has lost touch with his daughter, while the second shows a spoiled little girl setting fire to the Warrens' backyard.


New episodes of Elemental Charmed air Sundays at 9/8c on The CW, and ”The Warrens Who Saved Christmas” will air on December 16th to close out 2018 before the series goes on hiatus and returns January 20th, 2019, for the second half of Season One.

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

Season 1, Episode 9: ”A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching Charmed?”

IN A TRIBUTE TO "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?

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

Season 1, Episode 10: ”The Warrens Who Saved Christmas”

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.

In an exclusive interview, Elemental Charmed writers review first half of Season 1 and tease the second.

NOTE: The following contains spoilers from the first half of The CW's Elemental Charmed.

As the series heads into its first hiatus at The CW, Deadline got an exclusive interview with the four key members of the writing staff (Sheryl J. Anderson, Paul Ruditis and the team of Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin) of Elemental Charmed to discuss the series and season so far and talk about how they constructed various episodes, along with what inspired some of the stories each writer crafted.

DEADLINE | First things first, how were each of you approached to join the Elemental Charmed project?

PAUL: Connie [Elemental Charmed’s executive producer Constance M. Burge, who also created the classic Charmed series] liked what I did with the Season 9 Charmed comics and the novels. She admired my work and offered me the chance to join the series. It was such an honor to even be asked, that I couldn't say no.

SHERYL: I had a great relationship with Connie Burge while working on the classic Charmed series. I always loved her vision for Charmed, so when she contacted me about being a part of this project, I said yes before she even finished asking.

CHRIS: When Connie asked me to be a part of the project, my only question was had she asked Zack yet. (laughs)

ZACK: (also laughing, then growing serious) Chris and I worked together on other series, so Aaron Spelling signed us as a team for Charmed. I can't imagine doing a series and not doing it with her. We just always work well together, and I couldn't have been more thrilled to be asked to be a part of the reboot, especially with Connie in charge.


DEADLINE | The episode ‘A Smart Spell and A Banshee...Are We Watching Classic Charmed?’ was a very fun episode, with plenty of nods to classic Charmed. What inspired you to do this?

CHRIS: Zack and I brought up the idea of doing an episode that had a nod to Charmed, and Connie loved the idea, as long as it wasn’t just redoing a Charmed episode with the Warrens rather than the Halliwells. That just made writing it that much more challenging and that much more fun.

ZACK: Chris had decided she wanted to include the banshee and I wanted the smart spell, so I made the suggestion of the episode title off the top of my head, never really meaning it. But everyone in the room started laughing and Connie said it was perfect, so we went with it.


DEADLINE | Some episodes seemed to be based on things in Salem, like the Harvest Festival and the Salem Convention Centre. Sounds like you did your research.

SHERYL: No, that was all Connie. She wanted us to focus on more than just the witch trials in Salem, and showcase a little more of the history of Salem with various events. She spent a good couple of weeks there, talking to people and learning more about the town, before we even started working on the pilot, and she remains in contact with those people as consultants. I know we have many more ideas inspired by real events. I'm just so glad we have learned to incorporate Salem and make the whole series feel more real.

ZACH (nodding): We found ourselves wishing we’d done that on Charmed, when maybe the city of San Francisco should have been as much of a character as the Manor or the Book of Shadows, but wasn’t.


DEADLINE | Why have we seen so many warlocks and hardly any demons? Will we see more of them later?

PAUL: No, warlocks will remain a staple of the series, the way Connie originally wanted them to be. Because warlocks are just as human as witches while demons aren’t, it makes warlocks the counterpart of witches in a way that demons can’t, so warlocks will always be the major villains throughout the series.

CHRIS: Our series will only use demons occasionally and demons will always just be the Demons of – or in our case, the Demoness of – like Barbas was just the Demon of Fright in Season 1 of Charmed.

DEADLINE: Yes, I noticed you had demonesses along with female warlocks, a definite change from Charmed. Any reason?

CHRIS: (laughs) The CW wants this to be the Year of the Woman, so we’re making the series as female-centric as we possibly can.

ZACH: A bit strange for Paul and me, since we’re so used to having males be both the antagonists and the heroes, but it’s been fun, and Connie, Chris and Sheryl keep us on track.


DEADLINE | Along the same lines, I noticed we do not have any whitelighters in the series.

SHERYL: Connie laughed at the network’s suggestion of using one or anything that’s close to being one. She was going to drop doing the series if they insisted. She told them that she didn’t want her characters to have someone who gave them an easy escape route or had the ability to immediately heal their injuries, and the network finally agreed.

We want to leave our viewers on the edge of their seats wondering how our characters will survive each episode. Besides, Prudence is a doctor, so her medical experience will become very important, since she will tend to any injuries the human way, not a magical way.

PAUL: Personally I loved what Charmed did with whitelighters and demons – after all, I had a lot of fun with them both in the comics and the books—but we also wanted Elemental Charmed to be its own series and not be dependent on Charmed for fan support. So we on purpose didn't bring every staple of Charmed over to Elemental Charmed.


DEADLINE | The first half of the season seemed to have a small story-arc in the sense that it focused on Piper and Phoebe grieving for Victor and adjusting to living in Salem.

CHRIS: We all agreed that we didn’t want to wash away everything Piper and Phoebe felt and suddenly make it seem like they have been in Salem their entire lives and have always known they were witches with powers. They lived most of their lives in San Francisco – another nod to Charmed – and had just moved to Salem. So an adjustment period felt natural for the sisters. It wouldn’t have felt right to not see them grieving for their father while adjusting to living in the same house as their grandmother, mother and aunt. We felt it was important to tell that story at the beginning of our series before concentrating on saving innocents. And although Prudence, Patience and Paige always knew they were witches with powers, they didn’t become the Elemental Witches until Piper and Phoebe accepted their powers. So we wanted them to struggle with finding their footing with communicating with each other.

ZACK: And Patience needed to grieve for Victor. We have lots of ideas for stories further down the line that could showcase the missing years between the time when Piper and Phoebe moved to San Francisco and the time when they returned to Salem after Victor's death.


DEADLINE | What can we expect in the second half of Season One? Any teases?

PAUL: (laughs) Sure. How about an episode coming up after our winter hiatus where in order to save an innocent, the Warrens will have to guess who is a warlock and who is a witch?

SHERYL: There’s one that involves Phoebe’s college, and one that will be very on-the-edge-of-your-seat when you see what happens next.

PAUL: And there’s one that will be very important for Paige's character. Our pilot episode briefly hinted at her daughter, Peyton, who died when she was very young, but hopefully that was enough to tease and not spoil. We want our viewers to learn more about Peyton at the same time Piper and Phoebe do. We just feel it makes sense to bring it up during the first season, laying the foundation for a storyline about a very crucial part of Warren history.

CHRIS: Zack and I are currently pitching ideas for Patience.

ZACK: We know the plot will focus on her workplace since we've had stories about Prudence's career as a doctor, Paige's career at Salem Social Services, Piper's restaurant and Phoebe's college, but none about Patience's career as a forensic photographer. It’s still in the very early stages, but if it’s as good as we think it will be, I'm sure TBC2 will love doing it.

Elemental Charmed Reveals Mid-season Preview and Announces Competition

Season 1 of Elemental Charmed will not come back for another week or so. But the show continues to shine both on- and off-screen.

Last month Simon & Schuster announced that it will publish tie-in novels based on new series. The novels are set to come out in the spring.

The series itself continues to perform very well for The CW, but the ratings are a surprise to fans, critics and media outlets, for performing well in the over-35 demo.

Also The CW is running a competition right now which started on January 7th, giving seven fans the chance to take a tour of Salem to some of the historical sites that Elemental Charmed based some of the episodes in its first season. Also two extra-lucky grand prize winners will get VIP treatment and an up close and personal private meet and greet with the stars of Elemental Charmed at one of the first Elemental Charmed convention events, held at Salem Convention Center in Salem, Oregon.

The competition ends on January 25, with the results being known on January 27 when Elemental Charmed broadcasts a new episode.


Fans of Elemental Charmed discovered a whole new generation of witches in the reboot of the classic show Charmed. No doubt the second half of Season 1 will continue to keep viewers coming back each week.

Attention, the rest of this article contains spoilers!

Episode 11 of Elemental Charmed is titled “Just My Imagination". The CW has already shared some pictures from the episode marking the return of the series. One photo shows townfolks holding pitchforks outside Warren Manor. Another shows the Warrens at the Salem Comedy & Spirits Festival. A third one shows our first look at the Demoness of Illusion.

Executive Producer Constance M. Burge revealed to press that the writers are busy with scripts for the final seven episodes. "I'm so impressed with the season so far, and we are planning what we want to do with our finale. I have a huge surprise for fans of both the reboot and the classic series. I wish I could say more, but I can't."

In the United States, Elemental Charmed will return on The CW on Sunday, January 20th at 9:00 Eastern/8:00 Central.

Instead, The WB’s then-sister station, TNT, which aired Charmed reruns during the morning, aired a marathon of Charmed reruns, all with a similar theme.

Now The CW is going to take a page out of TNT’s book with a full Charmed-themed night beginning Sunday, February 3 at 7:00 PM and ending at 11:00 PM ET

The full schedule lineup is as follows:

7:00-8:00 PM ET: Charmed 1x17: “That Seventies Episode”

8:00-9:00 PM ET: Elemental Charmed 1x01: “House of the Rising Warrens”

But is life as perfect as it seems for the Petro family or is it something too good to be true?

When Prudence - who was the Petro family's favorite doctor back in the day - is invited to an upcoming Pedro engagement party, she puts in a good word for her granddaughter and Piper is hired to cater the party. Prudence's invitation is for her "plus one" and since Patience has been called to take pictures at a crime scene and Phoebe is busy studying for an exam, she decides to bring Paige.

But either strange things happen or maybe it's just bad luck, but the engagement party is called off. But the following morning, Patience first tells them that the victim at last night's murder scene was one of the Petro and then she is called to take pictures at a different scene of a crime. There she discovers that the Pedro family have found out that the time has come to pay for the wealth they have received.

Patience hurries home to check their book of shadows and finds out that the Demoness of Wealth is behind this and that the deal the Petro family made has started claiming their souls. But the family book of shadows also informs Patience that the family might be able to break the pact if they truly let go of the wealth and greed and do something that benefits others and not themselves. But the Warrens discover that Demoness of Wealth won't give up without a fight.

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 write 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?

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?

Season 1, Episode 19: ”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 1, Episode 20: ”Don't Go Alone Down the Trail of the Wailing Child”

CAMP EVIL! A POPULAR LEGEND THAT ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS — When Patience arrives at a crime scene where two children have been murdered deep in the woods near a local camp, she discovers that the local campers believe the legend of the Blair Witch, and when she finds out why they believe, she wonders.

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. To her surprise, she receives a vision of the past that reveals that the female in the cabin was the mother of the young boy, who drowned her child.

When Prudence has a premonition of the mother killing Patience, can the Warrens figure out how to rescue Patience, and reunite the young boy and his mother reunited so they can cross over?

SEASON TWO

Elemental Charmed Reveals First-Look Photos of 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 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 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 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 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 kick start 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.

Meanwhile in Salem, Prudence assists Paige with guidance to troubled sisters on opposite sides of the law before a planned crime is carried out. But when their plans to infiltrate the two sides goes horribly wrong and Prudence is hurt, Paige is forced to deal with the situation on her own, and might be forced to reveal her secret in order to help the two sisters come together.

When Patience contacts Paige, she wishes to use the spirit board to contact Victor, to get answers from him about the family history, stuff Patience might be missing. But Prudence believes the reason they couldn't banish the spirit 25 years ago is the only ones who can are Bells or in this case Bennets, which means Piper and Phoebe. But that the Elemental Witches might be enough now to do so.

Prudence has a premonition of Piper and Phoebe killed by the Bell Witch, and she, Paige and Patience must rescue them, and the three are forced to enter the famous Bell Witch Caves, where Kate the Bell Witch had tricked Piper and Phoebe into saving some innocents in order to trap them both.

Season 2, Episode 10: "Who is Who?"

CAN SOMEONE BE IN MORE THAN ONE PLACE AT THE SAME TIME? — Piper gets an invitation to her high school reunion in San Francisco. She originally wants to bring Phoebe as her plus one, but her younger sister has finals coming up and is tied up with studying. So she calls a close friend of hers and Phoebe's and since Monica also doesn't have anyone to bring with her, she happily agrees.

However, the following morning Monica is accused of an armed robbery while Piper knows fully well that Monica didn't do it - she was with her the whole time. But the robber didn't even try to hide her identity and she looks just like Monica.

At the same time, back in Salem, while taking pictures at a crime scene, one of the detectives tells Patience that the suspect in a murder swears she didn't do it.

To top it off, an SSS case of Paige's becomes complicated when her client is accused of cheating on her husband, something Paige absolutely knows her client would never do.

Even stranger - when Piper returns to Salem, Monica shows up, saying at she escaped from jail and wants Piper to use her magic to hide her. Piper is shocked to find that Monica knows about her magic - she didn't think she'd ever told her that.

To top it off, later on, right after Piper talks to Phoebe, who is still in the university library studying for finals, she goes downstairs to find Phoebe wanting to talk with her - and what she says doesn't sound like something Phoebe would say at all.

Getting suspicious, Piper tries phoning Monica's cell and finds out Monica is still in San Francisco, on house arrest at her parent's home. To prove it, Monica hands her phone to her mother, and Piper knows her mother would never lie, not even to protect her daughter.

When Piper discusses this with the rest of the family and finds out what has happened to her mother and aunt, Prudence decides there's just one possible explanation - there must be a warlock who has the power of shape-shifting and is usign it to impersonating people connected to the Warrens, framing them for various crimes.

Then Piper remembers her conversations with Phoebe...she excuses herself and in her own room, calls her sister's cell. Sure enough, Phoebe is now on her way home from the library, which means that the woman down in the living room with Prudence, Patience and Paige isn't a Warren at all!

Piper scurries up to the attic and uses the family book of shadows to whip up a warlock vanquishing-potion. Her family is shocked when Piper vanquishes her "sister" but all are relieved when Phoebe herself walks in the door.

But they realize they have a problem. With the shape-shifter vanquished, they'll have to figure out how to prove that the suspects the warlock impersonated are innocent of wrong-doing, especially Piper and Phoebe's childhood friend.

Season 2, Episode 11: ”What Your Eyes Cannot See”

THE UNSEEN ENEMY! — A warlock with the power of invisibility uses her power to spy on each of the Warren family, gathering data and figuring out their day-to-day activities. When she thinks she has them down, she has fun interfering in their daily lives:

Prudence's herb garden is missing important herbs Piper regularly uses for potions.

Patience loses her favorite camera, one that belongs to the Salem Police Department.

Paige can't find some important SSS case files.

Piper's special gluten-free offerings at her restaurant suddenly are full of gluten, making the customers sick.

Phoebe loses an assignment, costing her a grade.

When the Warrens meet for dinner that evening and discuss their days, they think that it's all just a bunch of coincidences. But then Paige suddenly takes a nasty fall down the stairs and she tells them she felt someone or something grab her leg and pull at it, making her fall.

While Prudence tends to Paige's injuries, Patience hurries to the attic, flipping through the family book of shadows for answers. She figures out that the only explanation is there must be a warlock with the power of invisibility not only tripping Phoebe, but also causing all of the other problems.

When she tells the others, Prudence thinks her control of the spirit element might help them deal with a warlock they cannot see, but Patience warns them that their book of shadows says that getting rid of her will require the other elements to come together. Just about that time, Prudence realizes that she's been feeling something strange while they've been talking. Now they all fear that Prudence is already sensing the warlock, who could be listening to their plans.

Phoebe goes to her campus to find many of her classmates are now acting like Bozo, the star comedian. But then the situation turns even weirder when make-believe things suddenly become real, such as dragons, unicorns and even Medusa herself.

When the Warrens exchange notes, they realize that the two are connected and Phoebe decides to do some snooping. The following night she and Patience return for second night of the Festival. Using writing an article on the Festival for the college paper as a cover, Phoebe goes backstage and notices a strange woman lurking. Later she spots one of the comedians talking to the woman. When she tells her mother, Patience - who always has her camera with her - takes a picture of the two of them.

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.

Returning to the manor, and explaining what has happened to the others, they head to the book. When Patience and Paige explain the situation, they begin to narrow it down to 'The Wendigo' learning that it is an elemental spirit of the wind and cold, It has the ability to fake human voices of which its unsuspecting victims are familiar with just to lure them to lonely places where it would either devour or possess them and in some cases a person nursing greed in their hearts, this then causes the individual to behave like bloodthirsty zombies with a mindless desire to devour human flesh. The older the spirit possession, the stronger the entity. It may develop the ability to control and manipulate the weather by way of calling upon pitch darkness before sunset.

They figure out that this explains why Paige's powers played up, and also that Phoebe's powers might be the same, and that it might have taken possession of their innocent Quinn. Learning that as long as they don't have greed in their hearts, they shouldn't be taken possession.

However, matters become worse when they try to save their innocent Quinn, but the Wendigo manipulates the weather around them, causing all the Warrens powers to play up. But they are unaware that it has left Quinn and entered one of the Warrens when they return to the manor.

HAVE THE WARRENS LOST PIPER FOREVER? — Piper has awakened in a strange house with no memory of who she is or even that she's a witch. She is relieved when she is greeted by a young woman named Luna who says she found Lucy in an alleyway and brought her back home. Somehow the names Luna and Lucy don’t sound right to Piper, but when Luna tells her that they are sisters, good witches who fight evil witches, that feels familiar and she accepts the fact that her name is Lucy and Luna is her sister.

Luna tells her that the evil witches have stolen some powerful amulets that are three halves of an ancient protective charm. Luna has one of the amulets but needs to find the other two before the evil witches steal the first one again and use them for evil. Although Lucy (Piper) has no memory of any of this, she uses her powers to locate the second amulet.


Meanwhile back at Warren Manor, the Warren family are frantic because they can’t locate Piper. They can tell that she is alive but just not where she is. Later, Prudence has a premonition of what appears to be a warlock stealing magical amulets from witches – and one of the “warlocks” is Piper. That’s when she realizes that the warlock must’ve put a cloaking spell on Piper, the reason why they weren’t able to locate her.

Prudence sees an address in her vision, so she writes it down. She again decides to stay behind with Patience so they can continue to try to find Piper, while Paige and Phoebe go to the address in hopes of saving the witch, and hopefully find Piper.

They arrive at the same time Lucy (Piper) and Luna arrive, trying to locate the second amulet. Paige and Phoebe encounter Piper and her fellow “good” witch in action and are shocked to discover that Piper has completely forgotten her real family. Paige and Phoebe are so shocked that they just stand there as Piper grabs the amulet and she and her “sister” leave.

Paige and Phoebe bring the witch back to Warren Manor, where they inform Prudence and Patience that they saw Piper, but she doesn't remember who she is and she’s working with a warlock. Since Piper called her Luna and Luna called her Lucy, they realize that Piper now thinks that Luna is her sister, not Phoebe.

But at Piper's new home. Luna has a new mission for “Lucy” – she’s convinced her “sister” that the “warlocks” they saw at the house are evil and need to be rendered powerless.

Can the Warrens find Piper and help her learn who she truly is before Luna destroys the Elemental Witches?

Season 2, Episode 20: ”My Sister’s a Warlock!”*

“ARE YOU A GOOD WITCH OR A BAD WITCH?” — Luna has succeeded in convincing her “sister” that Paige and Phoebe are evil and need to be rendered powerless. Luna also tells her that the next full moon, which is only a week away, will be a very important day for them.

At Warren Manor, everyone is trying to locate the third and final amulet, while Luna and Lucy (Piper) do the same. Both sets find out that the third amulet isn't even in Salem – it’s in Boston. Now that Jan is safely home, all four Warrens and Piper and her “sister” set out to find it.

In Boston, Paige and Phoebe arrive to rescue the third witch, but are confronted by Luna and Lucy (Piper) while the third witch runs into the back, so she can put on her amulet. The four women face off, Lucy (Piper) using her powers against her real aunt and sister. Paige quickly teleports into the back to rescue the innocent with the last amulet, but Luna has powers that let her do the same and just as Paige is about to grab the witch wearing the last amulet and transport her to Warren Manor, Luna appears behind Paige and knocks her out dragging her body into a different room. Luna returns to the other room and stalks the witch, who is terrified, begging her to leave her alone. Luna only smiles evilly before shapeshifting into Paige.


Back in the other room, Phoebe tells Piper that they are sisters and she needs to remember, but Lucy (Piper) doesn't believe her and kicks Phoebe into a bookshelf, knocking Phoebe out. Lucy (Piper) runs into the back room to see Paige (Luna) kill the witch and take the amulet, but Lucy (Piper) stops her and manages to get it off her. She demands to know where her sister Luna is, and “Paige” tells her that she’s outside in an alley, and then teleports out. Luna reappears outside in the alley and shapeshifts back into herself and pretends to be knocked out. Lucy (Piper) wakes up Luna, and says she got the amulet, and Luna smiles before transporting them back to their home.

Phoebe comes to and finds the witch in the back room, dead. She screams for Paige, starts looking everywhere, and eventually finds Paige in the other room and wakes her up. Paige asks if she got the amulet and where is the witch, but Phoebe tells her they failed. She also tells her aunt that the warlock really has Piper convinced – that it was Piper who actually stole the amulet. They'll need to convince her as soon as possible because now Piper and her “sister” will be after the amulet they have, the only amulet they don’t have.

Back at Luna's place, the two celebrate finding the last amulet. Now all they need is the one the “warlocks” stole. Lucy (Piper) tells Luna that one of the warlock tried to convince her that she was her sister and that she was the good one, not Luna. Lucy (Piper) says she knows better, but she still had a sense of knowing her, but of course that’s crazy, since she saw the other warlock kill that witch. Luna shakes her head, saying that those warlocks will do anything to stop them.


When Paige and Phoebe return to the Manor, they admit that they’ve failed and now Piper and her so-called sister will most likely be coming for the amulet they have so they have a complete charm.

But then Prudence has a premonition, one where she sees Piper killing the witch who owns the first amulet. She warns the other that they have to save Piper soon or risk losing her forever.

Later Paige has been looking in the book about those three amulets, that accidentally got destroyed, and had been in contact with the witches and covens who had them, learning that In the wrong hands and with the right spells they would have been used to control the Elements, thus Warlocks would be able to control the Warrens and make them use their powers against themselves. However, in the hands of the Elementals, it would keep their powers in check. Although the coven didn’t know much, they said that this upcoming full moon is very important.

Somewhere unknown, two young children suddenly notice objects of metal and wood are acting up. Suddenly a warlock appears wanting to grab the two children, and they make a run for it. With the warlock going, Luna is going to be so pleased with this.

THEIR ELEMENTAL POWERS ARE OUT OF CONTROL — Strange occurrences are still threatening Salem with the wind, fire, water, and objects consisting of wood and metal having lives of their own, and each time either Paige or Piper or Phoebe try to control their element to help an innocent, the problems grow worse.

While looking in the family book of shadows. Prudence and Patience learn that the amulets would have provided a fix to the problem, but now the only way to fix this problem is to find a witch who can control metal and a witch who can control wood - the two Taoist elements that the Warrens can't control - and gather in a special spot at midnight on the night of the full moon. There the other two witches will join Paige (Air), Piper (Fire) and Phoebe (Water) to perform a sacred ritual. Without this ritual, the all seven witches' powers would continue to grow and eventually tear the world apart.

Although the Warrens do a lot of checking, they can't find a witch who can control metal and one who can control wood - most witches can only control one of the natural elements that the Elemental Witches control

Suddenly Paige remembers two young witches she met at Salem Social Services who were having their own troubles controlling their elements - and their elements are wood and metal! No sooner does she remember this than Prudence has a premonition showing two warlocks including Luna capturing the two young children. If the Warrens can't rescue the children, they won't be able to perform the ritual, something they must do at all costs.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, WARRENS? - The Warrens are in the midst of enjoying 4th of July festivities. One of the best Independence Day Fireworks festivities on the North Shore will be happening at Salem Maritime National Historic Site on Derby Wharf. As usual, Prudence is volunteering for one of her not-for-profit organizations with supplying free coffee with the Salem Common Neighborhood Association and Piper is catering at one of the food tents.

As Patience, Paige and Phoebe walk around, enjoying the festivities, Patience runs into someone who recognizes her immediately but Patience has no clue who she is. The woman, who says her name is Heather, mentions they knew each other back when they were 12 years old, and now Patience remembers her. When she leaves, she tells her sister and daughter that Heather's parents died on the 4th of July when she was 12, and she went mad following their deaths and was put into a psychiatric ward. They're now worried, wondering why she's out free.

Later, Prudence has a premonition of Heather killing Patience right during the 4th of July fireworks. She finds the others and tells them. They decide that the best way to keep Patience safe is to not go to the fireworks. Paige, who loves the fireworks, is disappointed, so the others agree that she can go since it was Patience who Prudence saw killed, and Piper decides to go with her aunt. The others decide to go home to keep Patience safe, and Paige transports them back.

What the Warrens don't know is that Heather's mother, Lillian, was a witch, but she hated the thought of being stuck in a loveless marriage, and when her husband was accidentally killed, forcing her to raise a daughter alone, one who she isn't proud of. Since she feels her daughter is wasting her life, when she herself realized that she was also dying, Lillian cast a spell that let her take control of Heather's body, so she could have a second chance at life, leaving Heather's spirit to go onto the afterlife.

But no matter what Lillian did, the Warrens always seemed to do it better. She’d gone to school with Patience and just didn’t think it fair that Patience got to be one of the Elemental Witches with an entire family who loved her while she didn’t. Lillian’s gone madder and madder as the years went on, even as her jealousy of Patience grew. Now Lillian has figured out how to use her powers as a witch to escape the asylum and get her revenge on Patience.

Heather’s spirit has figured out what her mother is up to and on this 4th of July, the anniversary of her parents’ death and her mother’s takeover of her body, Heather's spirit managed to possess her own body just long enough to warn Patience. She knows her mother has realized that as an Elemental Witch, the only way Lillian will be able to not only take over Patience’s body, but to actually be Patience and have Patience’s powers is to kill her.

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…

But Piper believes him when he reveals he lost his job and is trying to make ends meet by taking up this repairman job, a job he barely is getting by with.

Later when Patience and Paige rush to the hospital in Boston to see Phoebe, she tells the story of what happened. Patience recalls the legend of the Demoness of the Lake. Learning that Phoebe's Elemental Power of Water might be important in helping them stop the demoness.

Patience calls Prudence and Paige, and they teleport with Paige's Air Element and the four set out to find Phoebe.

When they find Phoebe, they find that the Demoness of the Lake has taken control of Phoebe, and that the only way to get Phoebe to have control of her own body again, is for Phoebe to channel her own Water Element and conqueror whatever fear she has, which is feeling guilty for not saving the small boy from drowning.

Will Phoebe gain control of her body? Can the other Warrens save her and vanquish the Demoness of the Lake? and is Matthew's suspicious nature from Prudence accurate.

As Phoebe begins a new school year at Salem University, one of her new teachers makes Phoebe feel strange when she's around her. Phoebe can't sense anything unusual about the teacher and wonders if she's losing her mind and just stressed. But lately, people in the campus seem to be getting awfully close to the new teacher and then start acting very strange.

When Phoebe returns home, Prudence reveals she had an odd encounter with a new volunteer in Old Salem. Deciding there's no such thing as coincidences, they check their family book of shadows and figure out that the Demoness of Cruelty is behind it. For the first time ever, they are faced with a demoness who isn't alone but is working with another demoness, but not just one - she's actually cloned herself twice so there are three Demonesses of Cruelty, each one infecting a different area of Salem with cruelty. If the Elemental Witches can figure out which one is the real demoness and vanquish her, then the clones will vanish.

But the town is now so infected with the heart of evil that everyone in the town is out of control. This leaves the Warren family out of options, until Prudence looks in the family book of shadows and learns they might be able to perform a ritual that will require each of them to go to a specific spiritual point in Salem and control one of the five Spiritual points through Salem to strengthen their powers: Phoebe a lake near Old Salem, Patience in the local forests of Salem, Paige in the Eola Hills in Salem and Piper near a small Salem stream that still has gold dust in it. Since Prudence controls the spiritual Element that connects them all, she will be the one to perform the ritual at the Manor, which sits in the heart of Salem. The ritual will be enough to vanquish the Demonesses of Cruelty, which would also vanquish the clones and cleanse the town.

But the Demoness conjures two more clones and when Patience, Paige, Piper and Phoebe each reach their location, a clone is meeting them, while the Demoness shows up in the attic with Prudence.

OLD FAMILY RECIPE FOR DISASTER— Prudence is celebrating her 70th birthday in a week and Piper is hunting for Prudence’s special cherry pies’ recipe so she can surprise her grandmother. In an old cookbook, she finds one written by one of her ancestor’s, and thinking that it’s the same recipe, she bakes a test pie. She sighs when she sees it looks nothing like her grandmother’s, so she leaves it for her family with a note: “Testing this out for the restaurant. Let me know what you think.” and then rushes off to work. Each of the Warrens think it tastes wonderful and each eat a huge slice. There’s still half-a-pie left, so since Prudence is volunteering at one of her not-for-profit organizations, she brings it with her and the other volunteers eat it up.

But the next day everyone who ate the pies becomes fixated on what they did just after they ate the pie:

-Prudence sets out to outwit one of the ladies who always brags how she is the best organizer in Salem.

-Paige is obsessed with finding the perfect birthday present for her mother.

-Phoebe is determined to get a prime assignment for the college paper even though it’s one a topic she knows nothing about.

- Patience cannot resist working out non-stop.

When Prudence realizes what happened, she demands that Piper shows her where she found the recipe. When Piper shows her, Prudence tears the page out of the cookbook and rips it to pieces. She then explains a little Warren history about one of their ancestors from the 1800s, who wanted to punish her family.

But when they slip some into Paige’s try to get Paige to take it, Paige insists that she has to find her mother the best birthday present, even if it means traveling the globe and teleports out. As Prudence goes to get the antidote to the many people at her non-for-profit organization.

Piper’s next stop is curing Phoebe while Prudence tries to cure everyone who ate pie at her organization. After what happened with Paige, Piper slips it into Phoebe’s diet pop, while Prudence pours a whole cup’s worth into the punch.

But when they hurry to get to Patience, who they find is jogging in the hills. They put the potion in Patience’s spare water bottle, but Patience is too busy jogging and refuses to switch bottles. Each time Paige transports the other to her, Patience is already a number of miles ahead of them. Prudence warns them that if they don’t give Patience the antidote before the end of the day, she’ll be cursed to continue to work out until she finally dies.

TBD — Feeling lots of pressure lately, Phoebe finds herself having trouble sleeping. Although her family is convinced she is just stressed, when Piper experiences the same problems, they realize that it might be something more.

The next night, Paige is up late, working late on a case for SSS, when she hears Piper and Phoebe screaming in their sleep. Waking up her mother and sister, they investigate and see nothing.

The next morning, the five Warrens are convinced something is preying on Phoebe and Piper, so they look through the family book of shadows, but find no answers.

Jokingly, Paige suggests it could be a Night Hag, which is just a term used for sleep paralysis, since people with sleep paralysis often have hallucinations that they are being attacked. Laughing, Piper wonders if maybe this Night Hag is a real being, but Prudence insists that if someone like that existed, she's be in the family book of shadows. Besides, she's never heard any reports on such a thing from the witch community.

Patience also recalls Paige dealing with the Shadow Man as a child, as the closest thing, but they vanquished it two years ago. So Piper puts together her strongest potion which she drenches her and Phoebe's pillows with while Phoebe writes a strong protection spell, which the five Warrens cast around Piper and Phoebe's bed. They then go to bed, hoping that whatever was after them will be held at bay.

The following night, Piper and Phoebe sleep soundly with no drama.

But the following morning, the two awaken to be greeted by their father, Victor, who tells them he is very pleased they are finally awake. The two are in shock and hug Victor, wondering why he isn't a ghost, and suddenly wonder if he is a demon or shapeshifter. When they try to cast a spell to find out, Victor insists that witches are not real. He also explains that Prudence, Patience, and Paige were killed when the girls were very young, the reason they have been living with him in San Francisco rather than Salem.

Back in reality, Prudence, Patience and Paige are unable to wake up Piper and Phoebe. Fearing the worst, they wonder if the protection spell and potion only allowed whatever was after them to control them. Now that they have a better idea of what's up, they look in the family book of shadows again and find a warlock with the ability of dream-walking who is behind it all. Dream Walkers are able to enter the dreams of others and travel between realities and create fake realities but first, the victims must accept that the fake reality is real. Now the Warrens wonder if Piper and Phoebe have actually been transported to a different reality and they only think they can see their sleeping bodies.

Prudence figures her spirit element might allow her to travel into this dream reality where she can talk Piper and Phoebe into believing that the dream reality isn't real, so they'll to wake up, but Patience and Paige don't want her to go alone. Paige agrees to stay behind and work on a potion that will vanquish the warlock.

Back in the fake reality world, Piper and Phoebe are at odds with what Victor is telling them, with Piper believing it to be true and the Phoebe refusing to believe. But then Prudence and Patience arrive. Phoebe is happy to see her mother and aunt, but Piper is so far gone she's convinced that it's Patience and Paige who aren't real. Prudence tells her that it's Victor who isn't real - that he's the Demoness of Illusion who shape-shifted to look like their father, but Piper refuses to believe her.

Meanwhile Paige has the potion ready, but will she be able to find a way to get into the fake reality herself and will vanquishing the Demoness convince Piper that this world is fake?

TO RISK IT ALL FOR AN INNOCENT! - Patience is selected for jury duty for the murder trial for a mother of two having killed a man. However we find that the prosecutor is really a warlock using her powers on the jury, causing them to agree with her statements. The only problem, she explains to her minion, is that the effects only last for a short time for witches, not non-magicals, so she's very happy that there are no witches on the jury.

Meanwhile, Paige is at SSS, helping some clients understand what will happen to the children of the mother who is on trial.

But when the next day Paige attends the trial with her clients, she sees a witness change her testimony, which she finds it odd. When she discusses it with her sister, Patience agrees, even though she was sure that the witness had said the same thing the previous day.

When she and Patience return home and discusses this with their family, Prudence remembers hearing about a warlock casting a spell that makes non-magicals believe anything while non-magicals don't. They all come to the conclusion that the prosecutor must be a warlock and that the non-magicals on the jury must still be under its effects. They decide to work on a potion to counteract the warlock's spell.

But when the warlock learns what is up, she uses a different spell to have Patience thrown off the jury, leaving the Warrens and Patience without any options. However, Paige still is working the case for the children who might be forced into foster care, and she is determined to to save them.

Prudence knows that thanks to her elemental of fire, Piper can sense or see something that has to do with fire that none of the others can. Patience reminds them about the nymphs who were also elemental witches who were able to see things that nobody else can.

They head to the family book of shadows and find the page on salamanders: fire elementals living in volcanoes. Dormant volcanoes indicate contented, slumbering salamanders. But when the salamanders’ wrath erupt, so do volcanos – and fires. They are invisible to all, except other Fire Elemental, like Piper, which means that Piper is the only one who can help banish one. Phoebe disappears into her laptop to research volcanoes, finding that the only known one that erupted in America in the past decade is Mount St. Helens located in Skamania County, Washington, in 2008. The Warrens guess that the salamander in that volcano has been causing terror across the nation over the past decade, and has finally reached Salem.

Since Piper is the only one who can see the salamander, she will be key to vanquishing it. But the salamander knows this, and starts a fire in Piper's restaurant. When she passes out from the heat how will the other Warrens be able to save her and vanquish the salamander? Will Phoebe’s Water Element be key?

Season 3, Episode 12: ”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 3, Episode 14: ”Who's Using the Spirit Board?"

IS ONE OF THE WARRENS AN IMPOSTER? - Prudence has organized a charity event for her favorite not-for-profit organization and she's talked Piper into catering it. The event goes well until Prudence forgets something at the Manor and sends Paige home to retrieve it. Paige transports home and there, she notices the spirit board is trying to send a message. Paige grabs a pad and pencil and transcribes the letters: "SHEISANIMPOSTER" which she translates to: “She is an imposter.”

About the same time, Patience and Phoebe arrive at the event and the two sisters notice two strange women keeping an eye on Prudence and Piper. When the two Warrens confront them, the two women literally vanish without a trace.

Even as Patience and Phoebe tell Prudence and Piper about this, Patience receives a text message from Paige about the spirit board message, so the family hurries outside where they meet Paige who transports them home.

After debating what the message means and who may have sent it, the family decides to I.D each other with questions only the family could correctly ask or answer in the hopes that none of them is the imposter. But when Prudence brushes against Phoebe, she is shocked to see a premonition of Phoebe with Peyton, Paige's daughter who died before Phoebe was even born!

Even as she gasps in shock, the two strangers show up, each holding onto a strange artifact. Each Warren tries to use her power against them, but none of them have any effect. The two announce that the artifact is a talismans that repel good witches, letting the Warrens know that they are warlocks. The Warrens hear them call each other Melinda and Charlotte, while also calling each other “Sister”.

Suddenly a portal opens up, and when one of the warlocks attempts to use her power against Piper and Phoebe rushes over to help her sister, the portal sucks the two younger Warrens into itself, along with the two warlocks.


When the portal spits them out, Piper and Phoebe find themselves back in Warren Manor, but with no traces of the sister warlocks behind them, but also no signs of the three older Warrens. Even as they try to figure out what has happened, they hear someone call out, "Hey! Peyton!" and a much-younger Patience walks into the living room, with a very young Piper. The two sisters look at each other in shock and then run out the back door, not wanting to be spotted and having to try to explain who they are. Phoebe notices a newspaper near the trash can. Picking it up, she's shocked to read “April 4, 1993”, five years before Phoebe was even born!

Season 3, Episode 14: ”Stuck in the Past and Sent to the Past”

WILL SENDING TWO WARRENS TO THE PAST RESCUE TWO WARRENS ALREADY STUCK IN THE PAST? - Still shattered by what has happened to Piper and Phoebe, Prudence tells Patience and Paige about her earlier premonition. Telling them about a younger Patience and a very-young Piper lets them conclude that the younger Warrens may have been sent to the '90s. When Paige asks what else she saw, Prudence admits she also saw Peyton. Paige's face turns white, and Patience comforts her, imagining how hard it must be for her younger sister to be reminded of her dead daughter.

But Paige shrugs her off and changes the subject by talking about the warlocks and the artifact they were holding, so the three head to the family family book of shadows of shadows, hoping for answers.

Checking the family book of shadows, they find that the artifact was forged back in the early 1700s and is indeed powerful enough to repel good witches. This reminds Prudence that back in her days in Philadelphia with Andrea and the coven, a warlock tricked one of Prudence’s best friends, Bridget – the one who introduced Prudence to Andrea after Bridget moved from Salem to Philadelphia and joined Andrea’s coven - into creating something that would repel good witches.

Prudence concludes that they should go back into the past for answers, using a blood-to-blood spell to send them to the two younger Warrens. But Patience thinks they should contact Bridget for answers first. But Prudence remembers that Bridget has gone on a cruise and will be unreachable for a few weeks, so Andrea would probably be a better option. She contacts Andrea, who agrees to help, so Paige transports to Philadelphia and fetches her aunt.

Sitting down and discussing the situation, the four women decide to send Patience and Paige back in time, to learn firsthand from their past selves. Andrea creates a spell to glamour the pair to prevent them from being exposed while Patience and Paige come up with a cover story.

Prudence wants to go, too, but doesn't know what might happen if she runs into herself. Andrea has the same problem, so the two decide to stay behind and try to find a way to contact Piper and Phoebe somehow and return them home.


Meanwhile, Piper and Phoebe, still stuck in the 90s, Piper and Phoebe decide to sneak back into the Manor, since Phoebe cannot resist meeting the cousin she has never known. When they return inside, the two are caught by Prudence, who screams for Patience. Before the two can even say anything, Patience runs in and throws her arm, throwing the two right out the front door. The two sisters bail and make a run for it, but not before Melinda sees them and takes off in the other direction.

Melinda approaches her sister, Charlotte, and admits that she is unsure if they will find what they are looking for in this time period - that they might need to go back further in time - but they should keep looking. As they continue to plot, we realize that the sister warlocks are the ones responsible for Allen Halliwell's death, and that they still find it funny that Prudence thinks she vanquished her late husband's killer decades ago. Melinda grins evilly. "So, shall we go farther back in time and make sure that Prudence never meets Allen? We do that and we'll wipe the Elemental Witches right off the map!"

Season 3, Episode 15: ”That Nineties Episode”

THE TRUTH ABOUT SAM AND PEYTON REVEALED - Patience and Paige have just arrived back in time. Looking around, the two sisters are excited at the thought of being in a time before they were born. But Patience reminds her younger sister that this will be just a quick visit, and then they must go home, using the other spell that their Aunt Andrea wrote. Patience also reminds Paige that they must be careful and not do anything to change the timeline since that could have disastrous consequences - they want information only.


Meanwhile, in the 90s, Piper and Phoebe are walking in the park. Piper mentions how glad she is that she happen to have the deposit from that day’s business at her restaurant in her pocket - they never would've been able to stay in a hotel if she tried to use her credit card that won't be valid for another 20 years. Even as Phoebe snickers at that idea, the two spot young Peyton holding hands with a man. They hope that it's Allen, the sisters' grandfather, but they have a feeling that it isn't. They cannot see his face, so they follow and listen. Realizing that it's Sam, the two sisters know all too well this cannot be good.

Sam tells Peyton she did well using her powers to stop those bullies from hurting her and promises to keep showing her how to use her powers to protect herself. Piper and Phoebe's hearts sink, knowing full well that Peyton, the little girl they just met in Warren Manor and who is their Aunt Paige's daughter, has become a warlock like her father, the man who tried to kill Piper and Phoebe in San Francisco before they found out that they were witches with powers.

Later, the two sisters walk across town and run into the past versions of their mother and aunt. Seeing them, Past Patience is sure that they are warlocks and is about to use her powers against them, until the two screams that they are her daughters from the future. Past Patience refuses to believe them, even when the two try to prove it by using their powers, especially when they find out that they cannot.

But when they tell them that Peyton is in trouble, Past Paige agrees to listen, although Past Patience is still leery. Piper tells them that they saw Peyton with her father. Past Paige is shocked because she only just sent Peyton to school two hours earlier, and Past Paige adds that she has not spoken to her ex-boyfriend in some time. She adds that after they found out that he is a warlock, her mother cast a spell on him that wouldn't let him enter the Manor. But, Past Patience adds, their mother should've cast one that would've kept him out of Salem.

Past Patience thinks they should go inform Past Prudence and Piper and Phoebe agree.


Back in the present, Prudence and Andrea are still trying to figure a way to contact Piper and Phoebe in the ‘90s. Prudence still thinks that they should use the blood-to-blood spell that would send them to where and when Piper and Phoebe are, but Andrea is more concerned about the two warlocks going into the 90s. All Prudence can think about is what happened to her granddaughter Peyton and Sam. But she doesn’t remember ever seeing an adult Piper or an adult Phoebe in the '90. Andrea points out that she probably cast a memory-wipe spell so they would forget about it and not prevent it from happening. But that has to mean that the ones in the past will be successful. Unless, Andrea points out, it was the warlocks who cast that memory-wipe spell…

Back in the 90s, Piper and Phoebe meet with Past Prudence who tests them both to determine if they are really who they say they are. Past Patience and Past Paige tell Past Prudence all about Sam and what happened to Peyton. Patience is worried that Sam might go after her own daughter before Victor arrives to take Little Piper away for her protection. Phoebe and Piper do not make contact with their father, but watch from the window. Seeing their father alive makes their hearts ache and they comfort each other. Curious, they follow the two and find out that Victor is taking Little Piper to his aunt's house. The sisters remember their dad telling them about his aunt who always took a Caribbean cruise each year and they figure that must be what is happening now. They sneak to the window to watch again and are shocked to see that Sam and Peyton are already waiting for them.

Past Prudence has a premonition that shows Victor and Little Piper dying in a fire, and Past Paige quickly transports to Victor’s aunt’s house, shocked to find the two time-travelers. Piper has been thinking about it and reminds the past version of her aunt that Sam wouldn’t know about who they are, and it might be a surprise. But Past Paige thinks rescuing both Victor and Little Piper and fast is the best bet.

Before Piper and Phoebe can argue, Past Paige transports herself inside, and finds Victor tied up, with Peyton trying to get Little Piper to use her fire power for fun. Little Piper giggles and waves her hands and accidentally sets the whole house on fire. Past Paige grabs Victor and Little Piper and brings them out to Piper and Phoebe, but then goes back for her daughter, even though she now knows for sure that Peyton is a warlock. Piper and Phoebe are certain that Sam has been killed in the fire, and can’t help wondering how that will affect their future. When they return home will they find that without Sam’s continued influence, will the Past Warrens be able to turn Peyton back into a witch and never have to vanquish her? Does that mean that Piper and Phoebe will find that they find that they never lived with their father in San Francisco, since the fact that the Past Warrens had to vanquish Peyton was what convinced Past Patience to cast a spell on Victor and her daughters and then send them to live as the Bennetts in San Francisco?


Back at the Manor, Past Paige tells her mother and her sister that although she was able to save Victor and Peyton, Sam was killed in the fire. Despite being the one behind the fire, Peyton still acts very frantic and screams for her dad. She accuses her mother of letting her daddy die. Past Paige tries to calm her daughter down with no success, but then Past Prudence offers the Peyton some chocolate, and after she takes a bit, she passes out. Past Prudence admits that she put a sleeping potion in it, knowing they might need to eventually use it. Past Patience and Past Victor put Little Piper to bed and then Victor leaves for his night job.

At the same time Past Paige puts Peyton to bed. Peyton pretends to fall asleep while her mother watches. Peyton waits until she hears her mother and her aunt and uncle go all the way downstairs, then she sneaks into Little Piper’s room and wakes her up. She asks her little cousin if she’d like to play a new game. Little Piper tells her that she promised her mommy to never use her fire power again and Peyton says that’s okay; this is a different game. Little Piper agrees and Peyton leads her to the window, which Peyton opens up. She says how fun it would be to fly. Little Piper looks out the window, her eyes all aglow at the idea, while Peyton stands behind her, grinning evilly.

Season 3, Episode 16: ”TBD”

TBD - Back in the 60s, Patience and Paige continue their search for Bridget, knowing that a warlock fooled Bridget into making an amulet that repels good witches. Before they left, Andrea told them about a place where she and Bridget normally met for coven meetings, so they check it out, but when they arrive they do not find either Andrea or Bridget. Suddenly a portal appears and spits out Melinda, one of the time-traveling warlocks, holding the artifact. She spins and throws the artifact into the portal.


Back in the 90’s, the artifact comes out of the portal, straight into Charlotte’s hand – the other time-traveling warlock. She puts the artifact in her pocket and then shape-shifts into Bridget and arrives at the Manor. She asks Past Prudence odd questions about the 60s. Past Prudence finds them strange but doesn’t suspect anything and answers them truthfully. While she does, Past Patience decides to check on her daughter. She goes upstairs and goes into her daughter’s room just in time to see Peyton trying to talk Little Piper into jumping and flying out the window, telling her little cousin that she’ll be right behind her. Even as Past Paige screams and runs to the window, Little Piper jumps out, but Past Patience manages to reach out and grab her daughter and pull her back in time.

Even as the other Warrens run into the room, Charlotte changes back into herself and attacks. Past Prudence and Piper and Phoebe try to defend themselves from her, even though Piper and Phoebe don’t have powers and Past Prudence’s power is passive. Instead Prudence leads them in casting spells. But they only deflect Charlotte; they don’t vanquish her; she’s too powerful

Meanwhile Past Patience carries Little Piper into the attic, and places her in a crystal cage to protect her, telling her to stay there, while Past Paige grabs Peyton, and places her in her room, this time making sure that she takes a much bigger bite of the chocolate and the sleeping potion. Then she runs back to check on Past Prudence and Piper and Phoebe. No sooner is she gone that Sam shows up. He tries to awaken his daughter, but when he can’t, he uses one of his own spell to counteract whatever the Warrens did to put her to sleep. He tells her they are going to play a little game, and he shapeshifts into Victor. Peyton finds the game funny and agrees to call him Uncle Victor rather than Daddy. He disagrees and tells her to get back in bed and pretend she’s asleep. Giggling, Peyton does as she’s told.

Past Patience comes in, surprised to find Victor back from work so soon. As they leave the room, Imposter Victor knocks Past Patience out and throws her in a closet. He then casts a spell on Peyton, making her look like Patience. They walk up to the attic, where Little Piper is still in the crystal cage for her protection.

Imposter Patience tells Little Piper is okay to come out of the cage, but Little Piper senses something off about her “parents” which freaks her out, and her powers go out of control.

Meanwhile Charlotte now has the knowledge she needs and attempts to join her sister in the 60s. But just as she is about to go even further into the further past, saying she has the knowledge and is going to wipe the Warrens right off the map. But Past Patience waves her arm and the artifact goes flying out of Charlotte’s hand. The other Warrens overpower her and tie her to Little Piper’s bed with Piper and Phoebe left to watch her, while Past Prudence and Past Paige head to the attic to let Little Piper know that she’s safe. Past Paige wonders where her sister is and Past Prudence reminds her that she is checking on her daughter.

In the attic, as the room catches on fire, Sam shape-shifts back into himself while taking off the spell that makes Peyton look like Patience. Past Prudence and Past Paige are shocked to see Sam. Past Paige tries to vanquish him, but instead she vanquishes Peyton.

Just as Sam is about to end Past Prudence and Past Paige, Charlotte appears with the artifact. Past Paige knows that might help her go into the past and save Peyton, but Past Prudence says that that might only making matters worse.

Laughing, Charlotte uses the artifact to go downstairs, where she finally makes the trip to the 60s, but first she has to take care Piper and Phoebe, knowing she has to take them back to the present. She tells them that it’s their lucky day, and she drops them off into the present, but both Piper and Phoebe know that what she said must mean that their future is in jeopardy, so as she uses the artifact to go to the 60s, they tag along.


Back in the 60s, the two sister warlocks meet. Charlotte lets Melinda know that Paige and Patience are here. Melinda laughs, saying they won’t be able to help Bridget because Bridget is already dead. When Patience and Paige find out, they are shocked beyond belief as they realize that they were too late. Now they’re terrified, wondering about what this might do to their future.


Back in the present, Prudence walks in holding a steaming cup of tea, which she hands towards her beloved sister-in-law, her dead husband’s twin sister.

On a cruise boat somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, Bridget disappears, ceasing to exist.

Back at the Manor, Andrea has taken the cup of tea, but she’s totally confused, asking, “Who are you?” and Prudence is shocked to realize that she has absolutely no idea who this woman in her house is.


Something terribly wrong has occurred in the past. Can the time-traveling Warrens fix the timeline before it affects the present even more, or will they simply continue to make things worse?

TBD - Prudence is panicking, not knowing what is going on. But at least she’s home in Warren Manor. Poor Andrea has no idea where she is or why and she backs away, certain that Prudence is a warlock who has abducted her. Spinning round, she makes a run for it.


Meanwhile Piper and Phoebe find themselves in the 60s, reunited with their mother and aunt. Patience and Paige are happy to see them, but have bad news. Patience warns them that they might not have a future to go back to, because Piper and Phoebe's grandfather, Allen Halliwell, did not meet Prudence on the day they should have. Paige reminds them that after Bridget, one of Prudence's best friends, moved from Salem to Philadelphia, she joined the Philadelphia coven and she was the one who introduced Prudence to the coven when Prudence visited her. That’s where Prudence met Andrea, who in turn, introduced her to Allen. But they’ve discovered that it was actually Charlotte who killed Bridget, so if the Warrens return to the present, no one will know who they are because they do not exist, or if they do, it would be as totally different people, since they’d have a different father/grandfather. So they must find a way to fix the past before they return to the present.

The four women check into a hotel under alias names and decide that as long as they do not interact with any more family members or friends of their family members until they fix this mess as soon as possible, they should be fine. Paige thinks that maybe the artifact the warlocks had might be their chance to travel back farther in time, so they can make sure that Bridget lives so that in turn Prudence and Allen meet on the day they should. Patience is afraid that doing that might just make matters worse as one of them could be killed. Piper and Phoebe are still reeling from the shock of learning what has happened and don’t know what to think.

Back in the present, Prudence answers the door to find two strangers, a man and a woman. They hug her as they greet her as their mother. This lets us know that since the past has changed, Prudence has married a different man who gave her a son and a daughter who looks nothing like Prudence or Paige. Prudence rolls her eyes as she tells them about her “fun” afternoon when a warlock suddenly appeared in Warren Manor. The two laugh at her. Her daughter wonders why she thinks a warlock would end up in Warren Manor since Prudence hasn't practiced magic in a very long time since she stripped her powers before marrying Jeffrey. Her son tells her how happy he is that she also stripped their powers the day each of them and each of their children were born.

We realize that there is no longer such a thing as the Elemental Witches…

Back in the past, Patience, Paige, Piper, and Phoebe make plans to take down the warlocks so they can get a hold of the artifact. Patience thinks they might be able to do a locator spell, when she notices a piece of hair on her coat that doesn't match her own. Remembering the struggle she had with one of the warlocks before she killed Bridget, she knows what to do. Now if they only had the right ingredients for the potion… Paige remembers spotting a Wicca store nearby, so she decides to go get them. She wishes she still had her control over the element Air so she could just teleport. Phoebe laughs at her and says she’ll have to walk like everyone else.

While there, Past Prudence comes inside, so Paige quickly hides behind a shelf and hears Prudence tell the store clerk that she needs the ingredients for a potion that will allow her to relinquish her powers for good.

TBD – Paige is horrified: Even as Past Prudence pays for her items, Paige quickly grabs the ingredients she needs from the shelf, and hurries to pay for hers. Paige runs outside, but she sees Past Prudence get into a cab before Paige can even attempt to steal or knock over her bag.

Back at the hotel, Piper is terrified by what might happen if they fail. Patience begs her daughter not to worry about that; they will succeed. No sooner are those words out of her mouth than Paige comes running inside, screaming, “Past Prudence wants to relinquish her powers for good!” After the others get all the details and they settle Paige down, they decide it best not to confront them as a group. Phoebe also remembers that her grandmother once laughed about how shortly before she even met Allen, she came up with a potion that could harm warlocks without vanquishing them and had stashed the potion vials in a dark-purple chest in the attic. Prudence told Phoebe that she might as well toss the vials, since the potion would have long since lost its potency. But all four realize that in this time period the potion would still be fully potent. So Piper and Phoebe hurry to catch a cab to the Manor to retrieve the vials, while Patience and Paige start the locator spell.

Past Prudence arrives home, and walks into the kitchen and start her potion to relinquish her powers when there’s a knock at the front door. It’s Piper pretending to be a new neighbor who has moved in and needs a cup of sugar. Normally Past Prudence wouldn’t let a stranger into the Manor, but Past Prudence gets a feeling that she’s always known this woman and lets her in. While Past Prudence brings Piper back to the kitchen, Phoebe sneaks in and hurries up to the attic and finds the chest, but Melinda is already there and throws Phoebe across the room. When Past Prudence hears the noise coming from the attic, she runs upstairs with Piper not far behind. Charlotte, holding the artifact and standing at the top of the stairs, grabs Piper by the throat mouth and throws her down the stairs, knocking Piper unconscious.


Meanwhile Patience and Paige have finished the locator spell, which reveals that that both warlock sisters are in the Manor’s attic. Realizing that it was a trap, they hurry to rescue them.


Back at the Manor, the two warlock sisters now have both Past Prudence and Phoebe tied up. Past Prudence freaks out, telling the warlocks she will not be any more trouble to them; after all, she is planning to relinquish her powers. They laugh, saying that they will make a deal, help them vanquish these two witches and they’ll let her live the magic-free life that she wants. Phoebe begs Past Prudence to not listen to them.


Patience and Paige arrive and find Piper unconscious. They wake her up, then they all hurry to the attic. . Since they already know about Piper, they decide that she will bust in and distract them while the other two to get to the chest.

Piper busts in and Melinda walks towards her, while Charlotte puts the artifact on a table as she continues to guard Phoebe and Past Prudence. Melinda grabs Piper by the throat up and shoves her against the wall, telling her that she and her sister are going to enjoy destroying the Elemental Witches. Patience and Paige run inside, but rather than going to the chest, Patience hurries to Past Prudence and Phoebe, but the glare in Charlotte’s eyes stops her. Meanwhile, Paige hurries to the dark-purple chest. She opens it and grabs the vials, putting them in her pocket, but rolling one across the room, calling out her sister’s name. Patience reaches down to catch the vial and then throws it at Charlotte’s face. She screams when it breaks and the potion inside burns her face, and then Patience kicks her right out the window, smashing the glass.

Patience grabs the artifact and unties Past Prudence and Phoebe, but Melinda grabs Piper by the throat and warns Patience that if she doesn’t drop the artifact, Piper is dead. Past Prudence freaks out, still wondering who all these people are, although Charlotte mentioning the Elemental Witches has her wondering.

Phoebe can't hold it in. Knowing that Past Prudence gets premonitions, she asks her to touch her and she’ll see that she is from the future and is her granddaughter and those two are her daughters. But when Past Prudence touches her, she sees the future with Jeffery and her son and daughter and their children. Past Prudence accuses Phoebe of lying - she isn’t who she says she is, and must be a warlock.

Realizing they are running out of time, Piper takes a potion vial out of her pocket and smashes it into Melinda’s face. She and Paige run towards Past Patience and Phoebe, so all four are now near the artifact. They beg Past Prudence to believe in them; they will fix things. Only Charlotte’s mention of the Elemental Witches has her agreeing – for now.

But Charlotte wakes up and runs back inside, just as the four use the artifact to go farther back in time, while Melinda and Charlotte stalk Past Prudence, each holding an athame, ready to kill her and end the chance of the Elemental Witches ever happening.

TBD –The Warrens arrive shortly before Bridget will be killed. Piper and Phoebe hurry to find Past Patience and Past Paige from the 90’s and warn them that they need to stop the warlocks from killing Bridget right away. Piper still has potion vials to hurt the warlocks in her pocket. She has three vials left.

Past Patience and Past Paige are surprised that Piper and Phoebe also ended up in the 60s. Piper warns them that they don’t have time to explain but she hands each of them a vial, saying they need to hurry to where Bridget will be murdered and fast.

Past Patience and Past Paige arrive at the park, seeing Bridget sitting on a bench, but stop before they reach her, waiting for the warlock sisters to arrive. Piper and Phoebe run up to her and grab her, telling her that they are good witches and she is in danger. They hurry her away, telling her to take a taxi to her coven, that she will shortly meet someone who will be a very special part of her life.

No sooner do they leave than the versions of the warlock sisters who were going to kill Bridget arrive. Seeing her running off with Piper and Phoebe, they start chasing them, but Past Patience and Past Paige throws the vials at the warlock sisters, hurting them and stopping them. Bridget gets away and finds a cab to take her to her coven where she will meet Prudence.

But the potion doesn’t stop the warlock sisters for long and they follow Piper and Phoebe back to where Patience and Paige – and the artifact – are.

Thanks to them saving Bridget, the four Warrens are able to use the artifact to return outside the Manor to when they first saw Past Prudence with her alternate family, not knowing that the warlock sisters are tagging along. The Warrens go to the back and see Prudence having tea with Bridget and Andrea. They hear Andrea tell Prudence that she can’t wait to introduce her to her twin brother Allen.


Back in the present, Prudence is talking to her son and daughter when they disappear, and instead it’s Andrea talking to her again. Thanks to her Spirit Element, Prudence still remembers everything that happened when time was almost changed for good. She decides to make a potion that will vanquish the warlock sisters since it includes an ingredient her family wouldn’t be able to concoct in the past, and Andrea helps.


Back in the past, the two warlock sisters corner the Warrens, both holding an athame in each hand, ready to kill all four Warrens at once.

Charlotte and Melinda aim their athames at the Warrens. Suddenly Prudence arrives in the past, behind the two warlock sisters. She sees what is happening and screams. Charlotte and Melinda spin around to see Prudence and transport away.

The four Warrens are thrilled to see Prudence, but she says she can’t stay long, not without altering the past with her presence. She hands them each a vial of the potion that will vanquish the warlock sisters. Then she bids them farewell and returns to the present. There Andrea comforts her, certain that her family will succeed and be able to return safely home.


Charlotte and Melinda arrive, and during the fight, Charlotte knocks out Patience while Melinda knocks out Paige, leaving Piper and Phoebe surrounded by the two warlocks. “Killing Allen was easy,” Charlotte tells them. I’m going to enjoy killing you two, and watching your mother’s and aunt’s reaction just before we kill them!”


Even as Piper and Phoebe gasp as they realize that these are the ones who killed their grandfather, Piper throws the vial Prudence gave her at Charlotte screaming, “This is for you, Grams!” as Charlotte goes up in flames. Melinda, knowing she might be next, grabs the artifact to make a run for it, but Phoebe kicks her and the artifact goes flying in the air. The four Warrens all touch it, and attempt to go back to their rightful time, but Melinda also touches it, setting off a big blast, and they all find themselves in yet another time period. When they arrive, a woman with dark hair watches them from afar, but we cannot see her face. Patience realizes that now they are stuck way in the past, possibly the 1700s or even the 1600s.

But the four are separated when witch hunters catch them. Paige, Piper and Phoebe manage to escape and find each other. Just when they really start worrying about Patience, she walks in with a young man who she says rescued her and helped her find her family. Finally, just as a witch hunter is about to shoot Phoebe in the back with his gun, the four women all touch the artifact and use it to safely arrive back in the present.

But when they tell Prudence what all has happened, Patience and Paige has to hurry over to comfort their mother, knowing how much she must be missing their father after they finally vanquished his killer. She hugs them and smiles at her daughters and her granddaughters, telling them how very proud she is of her family and how happy she is that they all came safely home.


Later Patience and Paige are sitting, talking about what has happened until it hits Paige that although Piper and Phoebe kept talking about how much they wish they could’ve known their grandfather, Patience never even mentioned their father since she reunited with her family, and although she hurried over with Patience to comfort Prudence, it was Paige doing all the comforting, when usually it would’ve been Patience. Paige suddenly remembers the message from the spirit board: “She is an imposter”

We cut back to the past, where we see Patience lying on the ground, unconscious.

In the present, Paige tells her mother and her nieces why she doesn’t think that Patience is really their daughter, sister and aunt. Even as they discuss what to do, the pointer on the spirit board starts moving and the Warrens end up facing the worst fear they could ever have imagined.

Season 3, Episode 20: ”Warren vs. Warren”

CAN THE WARRENS SAVE THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF ALL WARRENS? – The spirit of Mary Ann Warren is using the board to reveal that Melinda is actually her sister Jenna while Charlotte was actually Jenna’s own daughter – they called each other sisters in order to throw off the Warrens.

Mary Ann reveals that while the Warrens were watching Prudence, Andrea and Bridget, Melinda’s husband kidnapped Patience while Jenna shape-shifted into Patience so she could hitch a ride to the present. When Piper wants to know why Jenna would want to come to the future, Mary Ann tells them that Jenna tried to kill Mary Ann’s only daughter, Beatrice, so Beatrice used a spell of her own to send her to the time of the prophesied Elemental Witches. She tells Phoebe to go check their backyard. When Phoebe goes outside, she finds a heavily-pregnant Beatrice. The Warrens must protect their ancestor at all costs or all Warrens will be wiped out forever.


Back in the 1700s, Patience desperately tries to find a way home. Jenna told her who she really was before she and her husband, her so-called rescuer, went to find the other Warrens and now Patience is terrified of what Jenna’s presence in her true time could mean for the future of all Warrens. Remembering that her favorite aunt Andrea told her that the artifact was originally created during the late 1700s by Brianna Halliwell, one of Andrea’s own ancestors, Patience decides to go hunting for Brianna Halliwell in hopes that she can create a different one that Patience can use to go home. But before she can, she is captured by a witch hunter and thrown into a prison cell.


Back in the present, Paige transports herself and Beatrice Warren to Andrea's house in Philadelphia, where she hopes her ancestor will be safe until they can find a way to send Jenna back to the 1700s and bring Paige back to the present.


Jenna (special guest star Shannen Doherty) is looking for Beatrice Warren, and when she almost kills Paige, Paige panics and transports herself and Beatrice out of the way, as they attempt to use their powers against her, just as Jenna herself escapes. Shen then transports Beatrice back to Salem since Prudence, Piper and Phoebe have found a solution.

The Warrens cast a spell that switches Jenna with Patience. They also send Beatrice back just as she begins to go into labor. Patience is returned to the present while Jenna is sent back to the past, just as jailers come to bring her to gallows. At the same moment that Jenna drops, Beatrice Warren gives birth to her daughter, Prudence's grandmother Patience.

Later, everyone sits by the fireplace, where they discuss Allen, and again Prudence becomes emotional, knowing that her family did this for her. Patience and Paige miss their father dearly, and Piper and Phoebe are glad they got to avenge him too, even as they wish that they could’ve known him better. After everyone hugs everyone else, they turn to go to bed when Paige happens to glance at a calendar. She is shocked to see that her and Patience’s annual spring trip with their friends to Florida is the very next day. They quickly hurry to their rooms to pack for their trip.


Meanwhile, in an unknown location in Florida, a warlock visits a friend with a new potion, telling her friend to drink up; she looks very sick. Her friend complains that her powers haven’t been working lately. The visiting warlock is shocked and worried, afraid that this might be the beginning of the end for all warlocks and all witches.

Season 3, 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 3, 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 EP 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 “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 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 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.

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

Season 4, Episode 1 ”How Will We Survive Our Summer Vacation with a Virus, a Demoness of Destruction, Warlocks, and a Missing Warren?”

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 4, 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 4, Episode 3: ”Something Old, Something New, Something Warren, Something Withers”

THE TRUTH ABOUT WITHER POX IS HIDDEN IN THE PAST — Having drank the potion, Andrea tries to use her power to see the past. She no longer can, but Prudence finds that she is now immune to the virus. However, when Piper makes a potion with Andrea's blood as the main ingredient, it doesn’t remove her powers, but it also doesn’t make her immune to the virus. They’re all afraid that Andrea has lost her power for nothing.

Back in Florida, Patience and Paige are searching for Phoebe through the deep forests, even as they continue lashing out at each other. Phoebe, fearful for her own life, hides under a bridge. Just before Patience and Paige find her, a woman appears, takes Phoebe by the hand and disappears, reppearing in a safe house.

Selena, the woman, explains that she’s also a witch – her power is to blink from one place to another. She also tells Phoebe that she was once part of Andrea’s coven, but moved to Florida and started one of her own. However, two months earlier, one of her coven ran into a warlock, but when she used her power on the woman, she began experiencing the wither pox symptoms. When Phoebe asks her to describe the woman, she is stunned – Selena is describing Jenna Warren!

At first she wonders how that is possible, wondering if this was truly Jenna or simply someone who looks like her. But when Selena describes the clothes she was wearing, Phoebe realizes it really was Jenna. Remembering how they found out that Mary Ann and Jenna were best friends until suddenly Jenna betrayed her sister, Phoebe wonders if Jenna might have contracted Wither Pox and then went forward in time to infect the member of Selena’s coven, knowing that no witch or warlock would be immune to the disease’s effects, the way they were in hers and Mary Ann’s time.

Back in Salem, while Prudence tends to Piper, a member of Andrea's coven, phones them. Bridget lets them know that Phoebe has been saved by Selena, who, of course, Andrea knows. Selena also informs them that a corporeal Jenna Warren may be behind the Wither Pox virus. Prudence and Andrea put their heads, figuring out that Jenna must have been infected with the disease, and that’s why she betrayed Mary Ann, something Mary Ann didn't know before her death. Like Phoebe, they figure out that Jenna must have come forward in time to infect someone.

Prudence wonders whether using Jenna’s blood – which would include all of the antibodies witches had in the past - rather than Andrea’s would make the difference. But, Andrea points out, Jenna is dead – how can they get blood from her? Prudence reminds her that they don’t need blood – they need DNA – and you can get DNA from bones. Andrea tells Prudence to keep tending Piper; she’s on her way to Jenna’s burial site!

But Andrea arrives to find the Demoness of Destruction floating above the grave of Jenna Warren, just waiting for a Warren, pleased to find one with no powers…

WILL THE WARRENS SURVIVE WITHER POX? — Back in Florida, Paige and Patience eventually find Phoebe in the safe haven of the witch, but when they arrive they get into a heated fight with the other witch, and both she and Phoebe end up infected. The warlocks arrive, and all four are tied up. They inform them, that the cure will be not be found, as the Demoness of Destruction will already make sure of that. In the hopes, that they will have all the Elemental Witches affected.

Back at the burial site of Jenna Warren, The Demoness of Destruction is about to set fire to the corpse of Jenna Warren, but Piper uses her powers to set the Demoness on fire, a risk she was willing to take. The Demoness of Destruction then proceeds to move towards Piper, and Prudence holds Piper tight. Andrea quickly goes to the body of Jenna, and takes a sample off her corpse and puts it into a vial. The Demoness of Destruction then sees Andrea near the corpse, shimmers towards her, and throws her, then sets fire to her grave and shimmers out.

Thinking they have lost their final chance at a cure, Andrea informs Prudence and Piper she managed to get a sample before it was too late. They head to the manor and proceed to make the cure. they mix, an affected witches blood (Piper), an unaffected witches blood (Prudence), Andrea's blood (someone who is now immune to the effects having stripped her powers) and the sample from Jenna's corpse (the original carrier).

Prudence, Andrea, and Piper arrive, they rescue Patience, Paige, and Piper, and all of them take the cure. They vanquish the Demoness of Destruction, but suddenly all of them except Andrea collapses on the floor, but someone knocks Andrea, and suddenly are knocked out and all we see are bags put over all of their heads.

Season 4, Episode 5: ”The Hauntings of the Joshua Ward House...”

THE CONCLUSION TO WITHER POX! - 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. We see some witches, decide to enter the haunted house. Inside we suddenly see all the Warrens and Andrea lying unconscious on the floor, who suddenly awaken.

But suddenly they discover, that they are not cured, what is worse, is all of them are so badly affected, and suddenly they are left wondering what is going on, and who ambushed them. None of them are able to leave.

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, while badly affected by Wither Pox, 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 to save them from Wither Pox. Unfortunately, Jenna is there to make things worse instead of better, revealing that during their previous encounter back when she was teaming up with a witch hunter and took possession of a warlock, she started the seeds of what would be the downfall of all witches, by switching the corpses of her own body with that of another deceased witch that died with Wither Pox, and spelled it to increase the effects of Wither Pox. Revealing she has her true real body hidden, something she had done two years ago after the Warrens first visited the grave site after Prudence was taken possession by Mary Ann.

Knowing that the veil between worlds was thin on Halloween, and knowing that before her death, she had already infected Patience and Paige when she came forward in time, she would one day get her revenge and end the Elemental Witches forever. She also wanted the Joshua Ward House as the place where it would all end, knowing the history of the place would allow her to also gather other witches too, and add another way of keeping them locked inside with no escape.

Mary Ann reveals that she herself had not known that Jenna was infected by Wither Pox and that was the reason she had betrayed her when she was hanged, and trying to get through to her sister, she discovers that Jenna likes being evil so much more.

Prudence has a premonition that shows the true location of Jenna's real corpse. Andrea being the only one who can leave, soon rushes to get the DNA and make a cure fast, she does so, and returns inside with some vials, deciding to hide one vial somewhere just in case some get broken or stolen from her. Andrea manages to cure two Warrens so far and hands them both a vial each. But Jenna learns what is up, having made an alliance with the spirits haunting the place, they all set out to destroy the vials for the cure.

Season 4, Episode 9: ”Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Warrens”

AN ELEMENTAL CHARMED CHRISTMAS SPECIAL – Christmas in Salem is fast approaching. When Prudence gets a call from Andrea saying that she’s going to fly in for Christmas, Phoebe realizes that she hasn’t gotten Andrea a present yet, so she makes a quick trip to the mall. There she spots a flyer for The Salem Krampus Tour. She thinks it sounds like fun and takes one of flyers home. When she shows it to her family, she wonders out loud if the legend of the Krampus is real. Prudence just smiles and says it’s truly just a legend to scare children into behaving, much like Santa’s good/bad list.

After some discussion, the Warrens decides to take the tour. Phoebe encourages them to dress in costumes, something encouraged on the tour. However, when Paige’s bell on her costume breaks, the Warrens need to run into town for some last minute costume fix-ups. In front of the store, a little girl hands each of them one of the home-made gingerbread man cookies that Salem is famous for. By the time Paige’s costume is fixed and they can head for the tour, they’ve already eaten their cookies.

When they finally start their tour, the Warrens are greeted by their tour guide who is dressed as a Krampus. She also hands each some specially made Christmas cookies. Prudence, Patience and Paige start nibbling on their cookies, but both Piper and Phoebe are no longer hungry and don’t eat any.

But half-way through the tour, the three older women begin to feel funny, and suddenly they transform into children. Having reverted into children with no memory of their adult lives, the three scream for their mothers.

Piper and Phoebe look at each other in shock, but quickly tell the four “children” that if they’ll only listen to them, that they’ll help find their parents. When the four “children” tearfully agree, Piper and Phoebe bring them back to the Manor.

Once home, Piper and Phoebe have their hands full, trying to taking care of the three adult figures in their lives, and forcing the two to parent them - an entirely new experience for both of them. Thinking about it, they realize that since they didn’t eat the second set of cookies while the “children” did, it must be the Krampus-dressed tour guide who’s behind it. They realize that she must be a warlock who is trying to get rid of the Warrens by turning them all into children. Piper and Phoebe are very glad they didn't eat that second set of cookies!

Quickly they cast a spell to find the tour guide and vanquish this warlock. As soon as they do, the “children” return to being adults and the Warrens can finally look forward to Andrea’s visit and celebrating Christmas.

Season 4, Episode 10:”The Possession of Paige Warren”*

WILL PAIGE BE NO MORE? - Prudence, Patience, and Paige are in the middle of cleaning out their herbs and potions, Prudence notices that they are out of supplies. With Piper and Phoebe spending Friday night out at the movies, the three decide to go into town together

In the local Wicca store, a new store clerk, greets them. To Prudence's surprise, Gabrielle is a former patient who Prudence treated many years ago. She’s happy to find that Gabrielle has since gotten back on her feet. Following the death of her mother from a witch hunter a few years ago, she left Salem, but now she’s back, running the local Wicca store. Although she has no powers herself, Gabrielle admits that she has dabbled in her own potion makings.

As they wander around the store, Prudence has a premonition of Gabrielle killing Paige in the Manor. Telling the others, they decide that the best way to keep Paige safe is to keep her away from the Manor. Paige agrees and calls a fellow witch who agrees to let her stay at her home until they know she’s safe. The others decide to go home and research Gabrielle’s family.

Meanwhile, the movie is over and Piper desperately needs to use the restroom. While in a stall, she catches Gabrielle talking to some people about some person named Elizabeth Knapp.

When the two enter the Manor, they learn about Prudence's premonition, and Piper tells Patience about running into Gabrielle in the restroom and the name Elizabeth Knapp. Patience smiles, remembering the name from a story Prudence told her and Paige decades ago. She tells her nieces that when Elizabeth was sixteen, she was possessed by something evil, presumably a demon. Piper thinks they should tell the rest of the family, so Patience quickly drives herself and her to Paige's friend's house, where Prudence is casting a protection spell around her house.

Prudence tells all of them that the name 'Elizabeth Knapp' is a famous part of Salem lore, something she herself thought was always just a story. With the protection spell done, the others return to the manor, But when they check the family book of shadows, they find that it's not a story and a Warren ancestor was the one who expelled the demoness from Elizabeth's body but was unable to vanquish the demoness, since she didn't have enough power. Now the Warrens think that the same demoness has come back and has taken control of Gabrielle and will most likely target the current Warrens for revenge.

Phoebe wonders out loud if the demoness about their last encounter with possessions and taking over bodies, remembering the situation with Heather and Lillian, making Gabrielle an innocent who the Elemental Witches need to save. Prudence thinks Phoebe might be on the right track, however, Lillian needed to kill Patience first before taking over, so it is not quite the same.

What the Warrens don't know is that the demoness needs a host body, the body of a witch who is strong enough to keep her within, because since Gabrielle is non-magical and adopted, it will not allow her to stay inside for. But the demoness has realized that Paige is a Warren and one of the powerful Elemental Witches. She already has her own tricks that lets her get inside the protected house.

And what the Warrens also don’t know is that the demoness doesn’t have to wait until she could kill Paige but has already taken over her body. Now she has to figure a way to throw Paige’s soul out of the body, while Piper and Phoebe wonder why their aunt is not acting like herself.

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 Charmeds 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 that 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.

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

As long as they're stuck, the five women try to sort out their future:

Phoebe, who only needs a few more credits before finally graduating college, has been given the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to intern at a major newspaper in Boston - and she'd get to work for her favorite reporter. But despite Salem's proximity to Boston, Phoebe is still wary of being away from her family, especially with now that they know that Peyton is possessing Andrea.

-Patience is considering retiring from the police force and just taking pictures for fun for a change.

-And Prudence has a health issue that she's trying to keep secret from her family while preparing them for the inevitable.

To their surprise, when Matthew walks in the door, the five women can walk out.

Season 5, Episode 6: ”Burden of Guilt*

IN SICKNESS AND IN HELL – Now that Piper is free, Patience and her daughters decide to spend some much-needed mother-daughter bonding time by going to Old Salem and go through an old antique shop and then share their Thursday-night dinner, something they haven’t done in a while, what with Wither Pox and Piper’s trial and all the rest. They’re surprised to find out that a spirit has taken up residence in the shop.

Elsewhere, Gloria, one of Prudence's old college classmates, returns to Salem after many years to ask for help. But Prudence still hasn't forgiven her for how their relationship went down, the reason why they haven’t spoken in many years. But she sets their differences aside when she finds out that Gloria has her ovarian cancer has returned, so Prudence tells her about her own health issues. This excites Gloria as she tells Prudence that she has found a great doctor who can cure her, but it comes with a cost.

After going to Gloria's second treatment with her, although Gloria notices some improvements with her condition, Prudence feels strange. Prudence realizes that the doctor is really a demoness draining Prudence's life little by little in order to help Gloria, but before she can do anything about it, she passes out. When she awakes, she finds that Gloria has brought Prudence home to the Manor.

Phoebe is home, studying for exams, but is immediately concerned when she sees how pale her grandmother is and calls Prudence’s doctor. The doctor, one of Prudence's old co-workers, discovers that Prudence’s her condition has gotten so much worse that if there is anything on her bucket list that she hasn’t done yet, she better do them now.

Phoebe calls the rest of the family and they gather and discuss what should be done. But when Paige tells them about the spirit taking up residence in an antique shop, Prudence says her Spirit element should be able to help them. The family tells her that they can handle it; they just want Prudence to rest.

Patience suggests using the power switching spell, so she can switch it with Prudence to help, but Prudence doesn’t think that’s a good idea, since they may need her Earth element. Phoebe’s Water element has been the one the least needed, so she agrees to switch powers with her grandmother, excited to find out what having premonitions is like.


Back at the doctor's clinic, Gloria is having second thoughts, but the demoness reminds her of the pact they made – her health restored comes with a price and the Demoness of Souls needs more. Gloria doesn't want to cause Prudence any more harm, but the demoness threatens to kill both her daughter and Prudence’s two daughters. She adds that the souls of witches are what she most craves, shocking Gloria, who never knew that Prudence is a witch.


Back at the Manor, Patience and Phoebe successfully switch powers, and Patience and Phoebe manage to send the spirit in the antique shop. But as they return home, Phoebe gets a premonition of a demoness standing above Piper, draining something from her. After telling Patience, the two rush home.

There they find that Gloria has come to check on Prudence, who agrees to let Piper accompany her to the clinic, since she and Gloria still aren’t on good terms.

Patience and Phoebe arrive at the manor and tell everyone what Phoebe saw. Paige quickly transports to the attic, grabs the family book of shadows from the attic and transports it downstairs. As they flip through the book, they find out that Prudence’s health was getting worse when she left the clinic with Gloria. Prudence is very angry that Gloria betrayed her yet again.

Prudence finally finds the doctor demoness in the book – she’s known as the Demoness of Souls. She cures terminal mortals to cure their health or illness, but in return, she uses that mortal to take others’ souls by draining their life little by little. The book also says that the demoness most craves a witch’s soul. Now all they need is to make a vanquishing potion and cast a Power of the Elementals spell. But for that they have to switch the powers again so that each can call on her proper Element.

Thanks to this, nothing will save the Warrens from what is right in front of them.

Even while she pretended to still be the Warrens’ friend, Andrea, still possessed by Peyton, stole the spell to separate a witch from her powers from the Warren book of shadows, and her coven used the spell to concoct a potion.

Now the Warrens have no idea that the glasses of wine sitting on their dining room table actually contain the potions, and Paige, Piper, and Phoebe have already taken a sip. Even as Prudence keeps talking, Patience raises her glass to her lips…

Eventually, the Elementals control them and everything to do with Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Spirit spins out of control.

But the Warrens may be out of options when each of the Warrens finds herself at odds with the laws that affect their daily lives and jobs:

-Phoebe is expelled from Salem College for cheating on an exam.

-Piper's restaurant is closed for health code violations.

-Paige is sued by her client for turning her son into a criminal.

-Patience is kicked out of the force when dirty pictures of her and the chief of police end up on her camera.

-None of the non-profits where Prudence volunteers want her to return.

The Warrens have realized that because Andrea and Peyton are never in the same place, Peyton must be possessing Andrea, but then shape-shifting to look like Peyton. They know that Peyton and her coven are behind this, but how can they regain their lives by vanquishing Peyton if it also means vanquishing Andrea?

Season 5, Episode 11: ”The Fall of the House of Warren”

DING DONG, A WARREN COULD BE DEAD! — As the Warrens deal with the fallout from what Andrea's coven has done, the Warrens try to reclaim their lives again. However even though most of them have gotten things back on track, Patience decides that she wants to retire and take pictures for fun for a while and then maybe open up her own studio.

Meanwhile, Peyton is ready to start the final stage of her plans to destroy the Warrens. She wants to gain control of all five of the Warren powers for herself, knowing that unlike the coven, since she is a Warren herself, she will be able to handle the powers. She’s been secretly gathering all she'll need to do so, and now sends the coven to ruin the Warren lives as a distraction. Not only that, but when the Warrens performed a ritual to get their powers back, she secretly used her own dark ritual to intercept it. Now she just needs one Warren dead, breaking the Power of the Elementals and all five powers will transfer to her. It has to happen on the night of a full moon when the moon is at its fullest. The next time that will happen is on Sunday, February 5th at exactly 7:28 pm.

The coven attacks the Manor, and the Warrens try to fight them all off. During the crossfire, Peyton arrives. Paige pleads with her to stop; she desperately wants her daughter to change. Peyton insists that it’s too late – she enjoys being evil too much to change. Paige finally admits that saving her daughter is a lost cause.

One of the coven members aims an athame at Patience's head, and knowing about the incurable disease she’s yet to reveal to her family, when the athame is thrown, she leaps in front of it, and it strikes her down. She falls to the floor, as all of the Warrens scream in horror.

The coven members stare in surprised shock, but when Peyton yells at them to get out of there, they do.

Patience, tears rolling down her cheeks, gathers her dying mother into her arms. Paige, Piper and Phoebe quickly surround them, their own tears also flowing. As she dies, Prudence tells them how proud she is of all of them. Then her eyes glow as she tells them that she can see Allen's spirit, his arm outstretched, ready to take her hand. Even as she reaches up to take his hand, her hand drops back to the floor as she takes her last breath.

Even as Allen’s spirit brings Prudence’s spirit into the afterlife, her granddaughter Peyton smiles. Although a very small part of her regrets her decision, she is happy her plot has worked as she feels all the Warren powers go right into her. Now having her mother’s power, she first smirks at Paige, then teleports out.

Now five Warren witches have become four...and they know that even if they figure a way to regain their power, they won’t have the Power of Spirit, so they’ll never have the Power of the Elementals and be the Elemental Witches again.

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

Season 5, Episode 12: ”House of the Setting Warrens”

100TH EPISODE IS A VERY SPECIAL 90-MINUTE SERIES FINALE! - Even as the Warrens mourn over the loss of one of their own and their need to figure a way where they can vanquish the ghost of Peyton so they can reclaim their powers, but without also vanquishing Andrea, suddenly the pointer on the spirit board begins moving by itself. The Warrens think that it’s Mary Ann, but are surprised to discover that this is a message from Prudence. They manage a smile as they realize that even in death Prudence will be able to help them.

Prudence spells out a spell that will expel Peyton's soul from Andrea's body, which will save Andrea. Then she gives them another spell that will let them return their powers from Peyton’s soul to themselves, although not the Power of Spirit since there’s no longer anyone that it can go to. Finally, she gives them a spell that will let them vanquish Peyton’s soul that will also keep her from ever returning. Paige (Alyssa Milano) hates the idea of vanquishing her daughter yet again, but she knows that it will be for the best.


Meanwhile, Andrea's coven wonders what their next move against the Warrens will be. But Peyton is having doubts: having her own grandmother killed is having an effect on her. Suddenly she receives her first premonition: the remaining Warrens expelling her soul from Andrea's body. When the coven member asks what she saw, she says she sees them destroying the remaining Warrens.


Back at the Manor, Prudence uses the spirit board to guide the four remaining Warrens as they expel Peyton’s soul from Andrea's body. Suddenly Peyton appears. Even as the Warrens start to cast the spell that will return their powers to them, the coven arrives and screams for Peyton to attack. When two of coven attempt to throw Phoebe out the window, Peyton realizes that she can’t let another Warren die and she teleports in time and saves her.


The coven confronts Peyton with one last test to see where her true ties are, with an innocent tied to a chair, one who has no idea about magic. Peyton immediately throws a fireball at the innocent, killing him, showing that she is still a warlock, and the coven is happy to discover that her loyalties lie with them, but they understand that she won’t let another Warren die. So the coven decides to kill them themselves.


Back at the Manor, the Warrens are just as confused as ever, wondering what to believe regarding Peyton. Prudence then communicates through the spirit board. She tells them that Peyton has killed an innocent, so she is indeed still a warlock and must be vanquished – she just won’t let another Warren die. Paige is happy that her daughter isn’t entirely a lost cause, even if she agrees that vanquishing her is their only choice. Prudence also uses the spirit board to give them a suggestion on how to deal with the coven and suggests they find a way to blind their powers, so they won't have to deal with them anymore.

So the Warrens first cast the spell so that their powers are returned to them. Then much as it hurts them, they cast the spell to vanquish the soul of their daughter/niece/cousin.

Suddenly Andrea is shocked to find out that she has a power again – she has a premonition of the coven attacking. That’s when the Warrens realize that they were wrong – the power of Spirit did go somewhere – it went into Andrea. So four has become five again, but actually it’s now six, since now they know that they haven’t totally lost Prudence; she’ll be able to continue to help them via the spirit board.

Soon the coven arrives and start attacking, not knowing that the Warrens have their power back, but thanks to Andrea, the Warrens are ready. They let the coven attack them just enough so they all have injuries and then Piper freezes them and the Warrens bind their powers. Then Patience puts in a call to her friend on the police force who knows their secret, telling her how the coven tried to kill them. The police come and seeing all of the Warrens’ injuries, they arrest the coven.


One week later, two days after Prudence's funeral service, Piper and Matthew decide that with Valentine's Day around the corner, why not try to bring some light into Warren Manor by getting married, just by going to the justice of the peace. Phoebe goes with them as a witness and her sister's maid of honor.

Before they leave, Andrea hurries out and goes out into Prudence's garden, cutting Prudence's favorite flowers and bringing them in. She fashions a wedding bouquet she can present to Piper while Patience fashions a fresh wreath that she can place on her daughter's head.

While they're gone, the rest of the family decide that they’ll have to hurry if they want to put together a wedding celebration for the newlyweds. Paige calls Piper's new manager at her restaurant and tells her what's up. Piper's manager tells her, "Leave it to us. We'll whip up Piper's favorite finger food and bring along a bottle of her favorite wine. There's even a wedding cake in the restaurant freezer that I'll decorate."

Patience, Paige and Andrea go up into the attic to look for stuff to decorate the house with when the family book of shadows opens up on its own to a blank page and writing appears. The three women smile because they recognize Prudence’s writing as they realize that the spirit board isn’t the only way that Prudence will be able to communicate with them. She’s written a spell that can be used to find all the items they need - all stuff from earlier Warren weddings, including the cup that Mary Ann Warren used in her own wedding - something Prudence found and kept, as she planned to give it to one of her granddaughters on her special day.

Suddenly Prudence herself appears. Although she is still a spirit, she cannot miss Piper's big day. She warns them that she’ll only be able to be with them for a short time and only family will be able to see her.


Even as the women use the items to decorate the kitchen and dining room, they reminisce about their own great past loves via flashbacks: Prudence about Allen Halliwell, and Patience about Victor Bennett. Even Andrea reminisces about the man she wishes had been her great love, but who she let get away because her parents didn't want her to marry a man who was a different race than them.

Paige can’t help but think about Sam Wilder which makes her think about her daughter Peyton and everything that went on. She wishes that they could’ve found a way to save Peyton's soul so that she could’ve been part of the celebration, too, but she understands why that’s not possible.


Piper's employees show up with all of the food and the cake and even a bottle of champagne and just as they finish getting everything set up, the newlyweds and Phoebe walk in the door and everyone hugs, even Prudence who becomes corporal for a few seconds before she disappears again. The others congratulate the couple, as they welcome Matthew into the family before leading them into the dining room. Piper, Matthew and Phoebe are shocked and pleased by what a fantastic job the others did in such a short time. Matthew opens the champagne and pours out glasses and they all toast the happy couple as our series ends.

Be sure to give yourself another nice big pat on the breath because YOU ALL ROCK!!! I’m SOOO very proud of each and everyone of you!

Now I can’t wait til fall when we start our NEW project – Classic Charmed -Done Our Way! We’ve already started discussing it after our re-re-watches of S1 in the Anniversary Thread. Any member of the Charmed Café is more than welcomed to join!

SO EXCITED AND PROUD OF EVERYONE.

Looking forward to our next project. While excited to see Pheebs continue to do her Deadline articles.

May 13, 2019 21:58:18 GMT -5 Esmeralda said:

I can't believe that tomorrow, May 14th, it will be NINE FULL MONTHS (I actually wrote Eight during a discussion during our Anniversary Re-Re-Watch) since Granny Charmed wanted to know what our idea of a reboot would be. That's what inspired this alternate-universe series that's been giving so many of us so much joy, especially as we try to forget the reboot that stole all of Charmed’s thunder on its 20th anniversary, and debuted back in October and will be around for at least this season and next.

I'm so proud of you all, for all the work you have done for the last nine months. I've read some of your stuff, but am waiting until you get the ordering right and title everything to follow along.

I’ve decided to post an update in a separate thread each time we reach the 13th of each month, so members can enjoy the update on the actual "month-day" (as we call it), the 14th of each month. Up to this point, each month-day, I've posted a summary to show just how far we'd come and how far we had left to go before we reach our goal of 4 1/2 seasons for 100 episodes, but I NO LONGER HAVE TO! I’M VERY EXCITED AND PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT IN LESS THAN EIGHT MONTHS, WE REACHED OUR GOAL OF ONE HUNDRED EPISODES!

GO TEAM CHARMED CAFE ON 100 EPISODES.

BUT there are some additions to this update – Pheebs Halliwell has continued in her capacity as our Deadline reporter with a few new articles. I’ve bolded those to make it easier for members to find.

But I have to admit that I still won’t be able to get to the editing the newer press releases until summer since I’ve been busy with work (I work at a wholesale florist, so getting ready for Easter and Mother’s Day keeps us extremely busy, so I usually crash as soon as I get home) and/or my University of Minnesota Golden Gopher baseball team, which will keep me busy both this week as I travel to Chicago to watch them play their last regular series *and* the Big Ten Tournament next week. which is now playing at home as well as on the road.

]I’m hoping this will stop next month when I’m not busy with either work or Gophers, so I can have fun, not only editing, but also going through the entire series, re-ordering the episodes if necessary, looking for inconsistencies and fixing them, while editing the ones with the asterisks. To me, that sounds like great fun!

That will be an exciting summer project for you then to do it then.

I’ll still post an update every month even though we have all 100 of our episodes and our series is complete except for my editing. Since I’m expecting Pheebs to continue to give us Deadline press releases as long as the rip-off keeps airing, I’m going to guess that I’ll still be doing monthly updates for at least the next year and longer if the rip-off goes more than two seasons, which I don’t think it will—ratings are too low—just calling it “Charmed” hasn’t taken away from doing story arcs right away before giving viewers a chance to get to know the characters the way Classic Charmed did and the way we did here in Elemental Charmed.

Yeah, that has bugged me about the reboot, they are moving way too fast, and not letting the characters grow and us to know them more. We know nothing about their ancestors, apart from their mother.

What I hope the rest of you will be able to do now that we’ve got our 100 is to go back and come up with titles for all the episodes that have “TBD” as either the episode title or the tagline or both. I don’t think that should be left to the writer – anyone can make suggestions and let the writer decide which one they want. I’ll do the same thing when I do my summer edits, but I’m not that good at that so if anyone else can (Pheebs? Summer? Miranda? Sasha? You’re all so good at that! Or anyone who is just reading so far – West? Olga? Katie? If you want to, go for it!) that would be great!

I'd love a chance to add a title to something.

To make doing that easier, I’m going to bold all of those TBAs. Be sure to make your suggestions in the main brainstorming thread so the author can see it and decide if they want to use it.

Sounds good.

I’ve also decided to skip the backstory so that if this is your first time reading about Elemental Charmed, it will be like you’re actually watching our show, not knowing what’s going to happen until it does. If this is the case for you, be sure to let us know what you think!


Here we go! Just like I’ve been doing, I’m going to put each season in its own post.

I sure will, when I start reading it in summer sometime.

HAPPY 9TH MONTH-DAY EVERYONE!

[prudencehalliwell]

HAPPY 9TH MONTH-DAY TEAM CHARMED CAFE!

So very excited about all we have done, and thanks for reminding us Es, a few TBN's to finish off, and loved the new Deadline articles being bolded for reading.

PIPER'S HOMECOMING CRUISE IS ANYTHING BUT RELAXING — With Piper cleared of all charges, and Peyton keeping her promise to get out of Dodge – at least for now - the other Warrens prepare a welcome home cruise for Piper, but in typical-Warren fashion, it doesn't go without a little trouble. The first few days are wonderful, but when her actual birthday arrives, things turn dire when the Demoness of Possession starts inhabiting innocents on the cruise.

As the Warrens search the ship for the Demoness, she gains control of the birthday girl. Finding out, Paige transports herself and Phoebe back to the Manor, so they can check their family book of shadows, but they are unprepared for an uninvited visitor – a warlock who is the Demoness of Possession’s accomplice.

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?

BIRTHDAY BLUES - The Warrens throw Phoebe and Paige another joint belated birthday party, but in typical-Warren fashion, it doesn't go without a little trouble. Something is keeping the five Warrens stuck inside Warren Manor. None of their Elemental powers give them a means of escape, not even Prudence’s Element of Spirit.

As long as they're stuck, the five women try to sort out their future:

Phoebe, who only needs a few more credits before finally graduating college, has been given the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to intern at a major newspaper in Boston - and she'd get to work for her favorite reporter. But despite Salem's proximity to Boston, Phoebe is still wary of being away from her family, especially with now that they know that Peyton is possessing Andrea.

-Piper wonders about her own future with Matthew, who should return shortly from his business trip. Does she really want to distract her family from the problem of Peyton and Andrea with the idea of planning a wedding?

-Paige can't stop wondering if she will ever figure out a way to save her daughter, Peyton, and if not, will she be able to figure a way to vanquish her that won't let her return, forcing Paige to vanquish her yet again.

-Patience is considering retiring from the police force and just taking pictures for fun for a change.

-And Prudence has a health issue that she's trying to keep secret from her family while preparing them for the inevitable.

To their surprise, when Matthew walks in the door, the five women can walk out.

Deciding that if she can't get through to Peyton, Paige is determined to help another mother who she discovers is also a witch. Much like Peyton and Sam, the witch's warlock lover is determined to convert his daughter.

But Patience and Prudence aren't sure that Paige is ready to tackle a case that hits so very close to home, especially when the warlock promises to save both Andrea and Peyton.

Season 5, Episode 6: ”Burden of Guilt*

IN SICKNESS AND IN HELL – Now that Piper is free, Patience and her daughters decide to spend some much-needed mother-daughter bonding time by going to Old Salem and go through an old antique shop and then share their Thursday-night dinner, something they haven’t done in a while, what with Wither Pox and Piper’s trial and all the rest. They’re surprised to find out that a spirit has taken up residence in the shop.

Elsewhere, Gloria, one of Prudence's old college classmates, returns to Salem after many years to ask for help. But Prudence still hasn't forgiven her for how their relationship went down, the reason why they haven’t spoken in many years. But she sets their differences aside when she finds out that Gloria has her ovarian cancer has returned, so Prudence tells her about her own health issues. This excites Gloria as she tells Prudence that she has found a great doctor who can cure her, but it comes with a cost.

After going to Gloria's second treatment with her, although Gloria notices some improvements with her condition, Prudence feels strange. Prudence realizes that the doctor is really a demoness draining Prudence's life little by little in order to help Gloria, but before she can do anything about it, she passes out. When she awakes, she finds that Gloria has brought Prudence home to the Manor.

Phoebe is home, studying for exams, but is immediately concerned when she sees how pale her grandmother is and calls Prudence’s doctor. The doctor, one of Prudence's old co-workers, discovers that Prudence’s her condition has gotten so much worse that if there is anything on her bucket list that she hasn’t done yet, she better do them now.

Phoebe calls the rest of the family and they gather and discuss what should be done. But when Paige tells them about the spirit taking up residence in an antique shop, Prudence says her Spirit element should be able to help them. The family tells her that they can handle it; they just want Prudence to rest.

Patience suggests using the power switching spell, so she can switch it with Prudence to help, but Prudence doesn’t think that’s a good idea, since they may need her Earth element. Phoebe’s Water element has been the one the least needed, so she agrees to switch powers with her grandmother, excited to find out what having premonitions is like.


Back at the doctor's clinic, Gloria is having second thoughts, but the demoness reminds her of the pact they made – her health restored comes with a price and the Demoness of Souls needs more. Gloria doesn't want to cause Prudence any more harm, but the demoness threatens to kill both her daughter and Prudence’s two daughters. She adds that the souls of witches are what she most craves, shocking Gloria, who never knew that Prudence is a witch.


Back at the Manor, Patience and Phoebe successfully switch powers, and Patience and Phoebe manage to send the spirit in the antique shop. But as they return home, Phoebe gets a premonition of a demoness standing above Piper, draining something from her. After telling Patience, the two rush home.

There they find that Gloria has come to check on Prudence, who agrees to let Piper accompany her to the clinic, since she and Gloria still aren’t on good terms.

Patience and Phoebe arrive at the manor and tell everyone what Phoebe saw. Paige quickly transports to the attic, grabs the family book of shadows from the attic and transports it downstairs. As they flip through the book, they find out that Prudence’s health was getting worse when she left the clinic with Gloria. Prudence is very angry that Gloria betrayed her yet again.

Prudence finally finds the doctor demoness in the book – she’s known as the Demoness of Souls. She cures terminal mortals to cure their health or illness, but in return, she uses that mortal to take others’ souls by draining their life little by little. The book also says that the demoness most craves a witch’s soul. Now all they need is to make a vanquishing potion and cast a Power of the Elementals spell. But for that they have to switch the powers again so that each can call on her proper Element.

Thanks to this, nothing will save the Warrens from what is right in front of them.

Even while she pretended to still be the Warrens’ friend, Andrea, still possessed by Peyton, stole the spell to separate a witch from her powers from the Warren book of shadows, and her coven used the spell to concoct a potion.

Now the Warrens have no idea that the glasses of wine sitting on their dining room table actually contain the potions, and Paige, Piper, and Phoebe have already taken a sip. Even as Prudence keeps talking, Patience raises her glass to her lips…

But even after stealing it and using a spell to bring the control into their own bodies, the coven discovers that they are unable to tap into the full powers of the Elementals because they were not born with that control. Eventually, the Elementals control them and everything to do with Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Spirit spins out of control. Can the coven return that control to the Warrens before the whole world explodes?

But the Warrens may be out of options when each of the Warrens finds herself at odds with the laws that affect their daily lives and jobs:

-Phoebe is expelled from Salem College for cheating on an exam.

-Piper's restaurant is closed for health code violations.

-Paige is sued by her client for turning her son into a criminal.

-Patience is kicked out of the force when dirty pictures of her and the chief of police end up on her camera.

-None of the non-profits where Prudence volunteers want her to return.

The Warrens have realized that because Andrea and Peyton are never in the same place, Peyton must be possessing Andrea, but then shape-shifting to look like Peyton. They know that Peyton and her coven are behind this, but how can they regain their lives by vanquishing Peyton if it also means vanquishing Andrea?

Season 5, Episode 11: ”The Fall of the House of Warren”

DING DONG, A WARREN COULD BE DEAD! — As the Warrens deal with the fallout from what Andrea's coven has done, the Warrens try to reclaim their lives again. However even though most of them have gotten things back on track, Patience decides that she wants to retire and take pictures for fun for a while and then maybe open up her own studio.

Meanwhile, Peyton is ready to start the final stage of her plans to destroy the Warrens. She wants to gain control of all five of the Warren powers for herself, knowing that unlike the coven, since she is a Warren herself, she will be able to handle the powers. She’s been secretly gathering all she'll need to do so, and now sends the coven to ruin the Warren lives as a distraction. Not only that, but when the Warrens performed a ritual to get their powers back, she secretly used her own dark ritual to intercept it. Now she just needs one Warren dead, breaking the Power of the Elementals and all five powers will transfer to her. It has to happen on the night of a full moon when the moon is at its fullest. The next time that will happen is on Sunday, February 5th at exactly 7:28 pm.

The coven attacks the Manor, and the Warrens try to fight them all off. During the crossfire, Peyton arrives. Paige pleads with her to stop; she desperately wants her daughter to change. Peyton insists that it’s too late – she enjoys being evil too much to change. Paige finally admits that saving her daughter is a lost cause.

One of the coven members aims an athame at Patience's head, and knowing about the incurable disease she’s yet to reveal to her family, when the athame is thrown, she leaps in front of it, and it strikes her down. She falls to the floor, as all of the Warrens scream in horror.

The coven members stare in surprised shock, but when Peyton yells at them to get out of there, they do.

Patience, tears rolling down her cheeks, gathers her dying mother into her arms. Paige, Piper and Phoebe quickly surround them, their own tears also flowing. As she dies, Prudence tells them how proud she is of all of them. Then her eyes glow as she tells them that she can see Allen's spirit, his arm outstretched, ready to take her hand. Even as she reaches up to take his hand, her hand drops back to the floor as she takes her last breath.

Even as Allen’s spirit brings Prudence’s spirit into the afterlife, her granddaughter Peyton smiles. Although a very small part of her regrets her decision, she is happy her plot has worked as she feels all the Warren powers go right into her. Now having her mother’s power, she first smirks at Paige, then teleports out.

Now five Warren witches have become four...and they know that even if they figure a way to regain their power, they won’t have the Power of Spirit, so they’ll never have the Power of the Elementals and be the Elemental Witches again.

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

Season 5, Episode 12: ”House of the Setting Warrens”

100TH EPISODE IS A VERY SPECIAL 90-MINUTE SERIES FINALE! - Even as the Warrens mourn over the loss of one of their own and their need to figure a way where they can vanquish the ghost of Peyton so they can reclaim their powers, but without also vanquishing Andrea, suddenly the pointer on the spirit board begins moving by itself. The Warrens think that it’s Mary Ann, but are surprised to discover that this is a message from Prudence. They manage a smile as they realize that even in death Prudence will be able to help them.

Prudence spells out a spell that will expel Peyton's soul from Andrea's body, which will save Andrea. Then she gives them another spell that will let them return their powers from Peyton’s soul to themselves, although not the Power of Spirit since there’s no longer anyone that it can go to. Finally, she gives them a spell that will let them vanquish Peyton’s soul that will also keep her from ever returning. Paige (Alyssa Milano) hates the idea of vanquishing her daughter yet again, but she knows that it will be for the best.


Meanwhile, Andrea's coven wonders what their next move against the Warrens will be. But Peyton is having doubts: having her own grandmother killed is having an effect on her. Suddenly she receives her first premonition: the remaining Warrens expelling her soul from Andrea's body. When the coven member asks what she saw, she says she sees them destroying the remaining Warrens.


Back at the Manor, Prudence uses the spirit board to guide the four remaining Warrens as they expel Peyton’s soul from Andrea's body. Suddenly Peyton appears. Even as the Warrens start to cast the spell that will return their powers to them, the coven arrives and screams for Peyton to attack. When two of coven attempt to throw Phoebe out the window, Peyton realizes that she can’t let another Warren die and she teleports in time and saves her.


The coven confronts Peyton with one last test to see where her true ties are, with an innocent tied to a chair, one who has no idea about magic. Peyton immediately throws a fireball at the innocent, killing him, showing that she is still a warlock, and the coven is happy to discover that her loyalties lie with them, but they understand that she won’t let another Warren die. So the coven decides to kill them themselves.


Back at the Manor, the Warrens are just as confused as ever, wondering what to believe regarding Peyton. Prudence then communicates through the spirit board. She tells them that Peyton has killed an innocent, so she is indeed still a warlock and must be vanquished – she just won’t let another Warren die. Paige is happy that her daughter isn’t entirely a lost cause, even if she agrees that vanquishing her is their only choice. Prudence also uses the spirit board to give them a suggestion on how to deal with the coven and suggests they find a way to blind their powers, so they won't have to deal with them anymore.

So the Warrens first cast the spell so that their powers are returned to them. Then much as it hurts them, they cast the spell to vanquish the soul of their daughter/niece/cousin.

Suddenly Andrea is shocked to find out that she has a power again – she has a premonition of the coven attacking. That’s when the Warrens realize that they were wrong – the power of Spirit did go somewhere – it went into Andrea. So four has become five again, but actually it’s now six, since now they know that they haven’t totally lost Prudence; she’ll be able to continue to help them via the spirit board.

Soon the coven arrives and start attacking, not knowing that the Warrens have their power back, but thanks to Andrea, the Warrens are ready. They let the coven attack them just enough so they all have injuries and then Piper freezes them and the Warrens bind their powers. Then Patience puts in a call to her friend on the police force who knows their secret, telling her how the coven tried to kill them. The police come and seeing all of the Warrens’ injuries, they arrest the coven.


One week later, two days after Prudence's funeral service, Piper and Matthew decide that with Valentine's Day around the corner, why not try to bring some light into Warren Manor by getting married, just by going to the justice of the peace. Phoebe goes with them as a witness and her sister's maid of honor.

Before they leave, Andrea hurries out and goes out into Prudence's garden, cutting Prudence's favorite flowers and bringing them in. She fashions a wedding bouquet she can present to Piper while Patience fashions a fresh wreath that she can place on her daughter's head.

While they're gone, the rest of the family decide that they’ll have to hurry if they want to put together a wedding celebration for the newlyweds. Paige calls Piper's new manager at her restaurant and tells her what's up. Piper's manager tells her, "Leave it to us. We'll whip up Piper's favorite finger food and bring along a bottle of her favorite wine. There's even a wedding cake in the restaurant freezer that I'll decorate."

Patience, Paige and Andrea go up into the attic to look for stuff to decorate the house with when the family book of shadows opens up on its own to a blank page and writing appears. The three women smile because they recognize Prudence’s writing as they realize that the spirit board isn’t the only way that Prudence will be able to communicate with them. She’s written a spell that can be used to find all the items they need - all stuff from earlier Warren weddings, including the cup that Mary Ann Warren used in her own wedding - something Prudence found and kept, as she planned to give it to one of her granddaughters on her special day.

Suddenly Prudence herself appears. Although she is still a spirit, she cannot miss Piper's big day. She warns them that she’ll only be able to be with them for a short time and only family will be able to see her.


Even as the women use the items to decorate the kitchen and dining room, they reminisce about their own great past loves via flashbacks: Prudence about Allen Halliwell, and Patience about Victor Bennett. Even Andrea reminisces about the man she wishes had been her great love, but who she let get away because her parents didn't want her to marry a man who was a different race than them.

Paige can’t help but think about Sam Wilder which makes her think about her daughter Peyton and everything that went on. She wishes that they could’ve found a way to save Peyton's soul so that she could’ve been part of the celebration, too, but she understands why that’s not possible.


Piper's employees show up with all of the food and the cake and even a bottle of champagne and just as they finish getting everything set up, the newlyweds and Phoebe walk in the door and everyone hugs, even Prudence who becomes corporal for a few seconds before she disappears again. The others congratulate the couple, as they welcome Matthew into the family before leading them into the dining room. Piper, Matthew and Phoebe are shocked and pleased by what a fantastic job the others did in such a short time. Matthew opens the champagne and pours out glasses and they all toast the happy couple as our series ends.

Hi, in case my message in that shoutbox disappears.

I just wanted to publicly thank Pheebs, Summer Reading and Esmeralda Wyatt for the Elemental Charmed Press Releases I just read it at GTTS today and thanks for making me want to live in that alternate universe.

Haven't been to the Cafe in ages either. I remember posting here a year ago after I joined but lost interest in Charmed until watching the reboot made me miss the original charmed. Lots has changed, here and at GTTS. So many FanFics everywhere.

Thank you, Nightowl! Good to have you back and so glad you like EC - and that you can read it here. I don't know how MelindaHalliwell copied and pasted it but the formatting on hers at GTTC is HORRIBLE! It's much more readable here.
