Victor and Phoebe

[rebooted]

Phoebe was probably the closest to Victor thoughout the series run. 

I wonder if Victor became more of a reoccurring guest in Season 5, potentially even a love interest for Elise or a business partner for Phoebe when she was becoming a local celebrity. 

I think this would have helped Phoebe's character development - becoming close to Victor after her year of Trauma of Season 4. 

Victor maybe mentoring her in the corporate world with all the business deals and being protective of her. 

While also Victor being around more in the lead up to Wyatts birth - becoming a caregiver for Wyatt so that the Children are written offscreen the show earlier.

See, this is why I love this site so much, because this idea is so cool and I never would have thought about it.

I like the idea that if Phoebe is going to get more of a corporate career, Victor is there to help her navigate that world. It's interesting because she seemed like the least likely sister out of her, Prue, and Piper to be involved in that kind of career, and yet here she is with that kind of job. It's also a nice new chapter for her and Victor, that he went from some mysterious absent figure to being directly involved in her life. 

I also like the idea that this would take place after the events of season 4. I strongly believe that Phoebe's issues with men and with Cole in particular stem from her father being absent from her life so young. Suddenly having a stable father back in her life could help her to become more of a balanced person where men were concerned and make better choices in the future. 

I've always liked Elise so much. I wish at some point in the show that she had figured out the witch secret and been more involved that way. I don't think everyone needs to be paired up romantically, but it's fun to think about Victor and Elise dating and Elise and Phoebe navigating a kind of boss/employee relationship as well as being around each other in their personal lives as well. It's a fun older woman/younger woman pairing where both are already established adults with a magic element thrown in.

Yeah we see Phoebe developing this relationship with Victor in Season 3 - with Wrestling with Demons and then in one of the best episodes of Season 3 - The Good The Bad and the Cursed. 

I could see Phoebe becoming a lot closer to Victor and leaning on him for non-Halliwell support. And Victor helping bring out that 'Queen of the Underworld' personality out in the corporate sector or even in a community setting - going up against the bureaucracy.

Phoebe gaining a great sense of purpose but still being the girl riding her bike the office and up the steep streets of San Francisco!

Also I feel like Phoebe was the closest to her Dad and then Piper by default. It kind of would of been similar to the 'Who's the Boss' character she played. I could see Victor being protective of Phoebe like he was with Coop in Season 8.

Bringing Victor in and then him also developing a relationship with Paige  - given that Paige really helped save the Halliwell family and also telling the sisters stories about him and Patty and having flashbacks to Sam etc.

Yeah i def think this storyline goes as far back as Season 1 and is a beautiful relationship to develop. 


And YES Elise is so cool. It would have been like having the Mum and Dad she never had growing up and them being protective over her. 

In the meantime it gives way to to having a comical dynamic between Piper and Paige - the super witches and them coming to Phoebe as the mediator with Paige wanting to do things unconventionally. 

Potentially Victor and Phoebe living together temporarily and then the dynamic with Piper and Paige living together being quite funny.
