It was in some interview and I honestly don't recall exactly what he said, but it was somthing related to the tension that had grown between AM and SD and then something else about the firing. I'd have to dig to find it, but it provided some glimpse into what happened, not the whole story. Which I think, because of what happened on 90210 and SD being booted by Spelling there, that after being given a second chance with Charmed, she did things that got back to Spelling or the other studio execs and they (or he) decided to boot her again. Perhaps they figured that 90210 lasted a while without SD, so could Charmed. Still, only SD and I'm sure HMC know what happened. Presumably, the others do too. Sorry I can't recall the quote, but I know he said a lilttle more than he was supposed to say.

I don't think I ever read Brian's slip-up...what did he say? I don't think there was an actual slip up by Brian but I do recall in an interview he did on the Sharon Osbourne show I believe, that he couldn't say much about the situation. Sharon was asking about the Shannen situation (this was also around the season 6-7 time of Charmed) and Brian said he couldn't really talk about it because he didn't want to lose his job. Obviously there was some sort of confidentiality agreement that must have been signed by the cast and crew forbidding people to communicate to the press with the true story. |

I have a question, idk if it has already been asked, but when they filmed the season three finale, did they already know that Shannen wasn't coming back? Cuz i mean it seems like if they knew, they would have actually showed her death and had more closure and stuff. Or were they just thinking about firing her so they wanted to leave it open ended? Cuz with that ending it could have gone either way. I heard somewhere that Shannen was prepared to come back for season 4, but idk if that's true. Anyway, i was just curious. You really should go back to the beginning of this thread and read through all the posts on both what is fact and what is speculation. Short version is that she didn't quit, she was fired and it took place over the summer, while she was in Canada shooting a movie with Julian McMahon. Apparently, she did want out (for reasons involving the direction of the show, loss of the creator - C. Burge, and a supposed backstage feud with A. Milano). You would not think that any one of these things would be cause for dismissing one of the main (and arguably the most popular) stars, but that is what happened. Since 2001, the rest of the cast was and remains tight lipped (except for some slip up by Brian K) on what actually happened. I suppose if word had gotten out that AM was the root cause of the SD's firing, it would have hurt the show. Anyway, no one was or has been talking, leading, naturally, to all sorts of speculation. Some of it my own. So, skim through the thread and it should answer some of your questions. Keep in mind that SD directed that last episode she was in (in fact, she was the only one of all four who played the sisters, who directed any of the episodes and she did four of them). Which is why it's doubtful she knew, at the time of shooting the episode, that she suspected anything more that it must be a cliffhanger season finale. Since that episode was shot in April of 2001 and she wasn't fired until that summer, well you see my point. Thanks for the explanation, that's what i wanted to know. =] I didn't realize that she wasn't fired until the summer after the season. |

What possible logic do you have to support this theory?
Do you honestly believe the WB would cancel the show as long as it was making the network a profit? The fact that they kept it going after Shannen's departure only proves that there was no "three-year-only" plan for Charmed.
What you suggest is just pure silliness.

Prue was killed by the demon Shax in the last episode in season 3. Originally Piper was supposed to die but the demon Temppus reseted time and everything that happened that morning happened again except Phoebe wasn't there to say the spell and Doctor Girffes died as well.

I think that Prue's death was really botch, but still her death was really dramatic. And maybe Paige was mistake. But if she was a mistake, then what can i say for Billie?!

You all pretty much got the story of my death right. but the only difference is that the first attack piper and i were near death, leo saved us in time due to phoebe calling him. but the second attack i died and piper was near death and thats why i died and not her. the power from shaxs energy blast killed me instantly but only wounded piper seriously. when tempus rewound time, the source betrayed his part of the deal, he was asked to warn us before the attack otherwise we were dead anyway. we never got the warning and it is what it is. ( not actually shannon doherty, just her number one prue halliwell fan)

I don't think you want to re-open that can of worms again. From what is seen on the screen, in both attacks, Prue and Piper are mortally wounded by Shax. In the second go around, Phoebe is not there to immediately summon Leo to heal them both. In the second attack Leo is in the underworld rescuing Phoebe and Cole from the double cross the Source was about to pull. We never see, on screen, Leo attempting to heal Prue and Piper (or in what order, or how much later he got there, although it's generally agreed he must have gotten there later than the first time), so we don't know why one lives and one doesn't. It has been a matter of much debate on this site on whether he healed Piper first, the second time around or whether Prue was already dead. We can't be sure as it is never shown and the few lines spoken about this topic can support both theories, depending upon how you interpret the words in conjuction with what was shown.
Anyway, all this is trumped because the only reason they let Prue die is because they fired SD over that Summer, while she was filming a movie with Julian M. in Canada. The "why" she got fired is also up for much debate as there are only pieces of the story, even to this day, that have been made public. SD talking about the back stage crap going on could be true, but could also be the story she says in public to save face. No one but the principal parties involved know for sure. Whatever it was, it had to be serious enough to risk killing off a main character in what was one of the WB's biggest hit series. They took a big risk and got lucky with RM being available to replace her on short notice. Whether you like RM or not, the show managed another five years with her and without SD, even if it did change a lot in the process.

That isn’t entirely true I have followed the Charmed show since it began and there is an episode that aired once on the WB. A few weeks before it came on the WB was hyping it up saying that it will only be aired once. It came on between the end of season 3 and the beginning of season 4. It was aired one time and one time only. This was part of Shannon's exit from the show it showed why Prue couldn’t be saved. I bought the box set thinking it would be in there but it wasn’t. I looked on every site and most people have no idea what I’m talking about. Only the few people who have been watching the show from the beginning have ever seen it. On one site I was on they said that Shannon owns the right to that episode and that is why they couldn’t put it in the box set.

What you have to get in touch with are the ORIGINAL posters of Charmed in the newsgroups, those who ripped the episodes from TV and posted them there.
I bet these guys has this non DVD box released episode.

No, he didn't. Wikipedia can be written by anyone and what's written is not necessarily the truth. Ditto for Youtube, when so much of the stuff there was put together by fans and isn't official. You need a link to an official site, something besides Wikipedia or Youtube.
I sincerely do not believe there is such a thing as an episode that was only shown once. There would be no reason for Spelling Productions and/or The WB/CW to hold back such an episode once the series was cancelled. If they released the unaired pilot (which they did), they certainly would've released an episode that happened between All Hell Breaks Loose and Charmed Again, since so many fans want to know what happens.
I'd have to see it on TV or in DVDs or at CW's site or at TNT's site before I'd believe it.
Especially when we were told this by a newbie who pops in, posts that and then pops back out?? Be VERY suspicious of such things, people! VERY suspicious! We need MUCH more proof than that! Yes, it would be great if such an episode existed, but I very sincerely do not believe that it does.

I’m not trying to start trouble on here all I was doing was trying to find a few other people who have seen it. Yes I am new 2 this site but I have been a fan from the very beginning and I have all the box sets. I know what I seen I don’t remember that much about the episode because it was years ago and I’m not the only one who is asking about it. If you look around other people are saying the same thing. People on yahoo questions were asking about it but charmed fans who have never seen it say that we are making it up. I don’t want to have a heated debate with you. Yahoo questions: When Charmed first aired I could've sworn their was a part 2 of All Hell Breaks Loose. I really want to watch it again and I was mad when It wasn't on my DVD box set. Does anyone know where to watch this "Lost Episode" of Charmed? • 18 hours ago • - 3 days left to answer. HoneyB853 writes on 2008-05-16 04:46:13 They actually did shoot footage of this. The second part of the season finale is called All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2 or something very similar. I remember watching this when it originally aired. Whenever I watch the reruns on TNT, I get very frustrated because I know there's another part to the episode. Apparently they just don't air it, and I'm not sure if it comes in Season's DVD. ________________________________________ Deafening1magery writes on 2008-07-04 18:31:30 Close, but no cigar. They DID, in fact, shoot an episode 23, but it's the hardest thing to find. They didn't include it on the DVD sets, which threw us, too. But the episode does exist; I've seen it; and it does conclude with Prue's death, Phoebe's return, and Piper's devastation. If you can dig it up online, kudos. and there are others but I dont know maybe we are all crazy  |
