Billie Vs Christy

[Kit-the-cat]

i liked Billie more. I like Kayley Cucuo, and i liked Billie. Christy was just annoying. She was so jumpy and fricking paranoid. I would of liked Billie to of made an appearance in Season 7 though, and carried on through s8.

I think overally Billie was almost neccessary for the Charmed Ones to realize that they needed to "come back to life" so to speak. I'm not sure how they would have done that without Billie.

HOWEVER, Billie became the focus of season eight too many times. The last season should have been about the sisters and instead they made it about a blonde.

I thought both of them were really annyoing. Billie bothered me more than Christy did. From the first episode she was in, decked out in her "disguise"...I dunno, she just irked me. Did anyone else notice that horrible fake cry at the series finale when she killed her sister? Maybe I'm just not too found of the actress lol.

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

I think Billie is alright, but Christy just bugged the heck out of me from the beginning. I didn't like her at all. I am in the middle of watching season 8 and I will watch how she acts when she kills her sister. I don't remember it being that way, but....I will check it out.

Hey wow a lot of people hated billie and christy .

um i liked billie i thought she was great cause yes she did get in the way but she was going to take over for them so that the charmed ones could live there normal life.

But i mean i hated christy so much . like not her in real life but her in charmed.
but i didnt hate billie at all .

[xoFeliciaFinleyxo]

I agree. I liked Billie over Christy

[heybethann9]

I didn't particularly like either one of them they both got on my nerves, but I must say Christy seemed worse. Season 8 is not my favorite because there is too much of them and not enough of the "Charmed" characters I had already had 7 season or at least 3-4 season to come to love or hate so it makes it seem out of place to the rest of the seasons to me anyway.

Billie > Christy

I didn't mind Billie at all.

[nyoen]

i think i like Billie in the first episode of season eight of Charmed. But she got Christy and they both just annoying. At least i love the Charmed ones was end. that ending was nice. Like Billie and Christy.

[lisamarie8]

i hated billie, but i hated christy more. i didn't think either one of them fit into the show. they had to bring in billie because of the whole "identity" dilemma after they faked their deaths, but christy, from the get-go was a huge threat to the charmed ones and in my book, that is an automatic strike against her.

[Esmeralda]

No, they brought in Billie because Kern wanted to do a spinoff starring her. That's the main reason why fans hate her and Christy, because they dominated the final season of Charmed when it should've been dominated by the Charmed Ones. The fact that people see him as the reason why we saw so little of Leo (or Darryl) has a lot to do with it, too.

I will insist that had they used the same (or similar) plot in S6 and had Chris' plot for S8 setting up HIS and WYATT's spinoff, that people wouldn't hate Billie & Christy even HALF as much as they do.

[CharmedFaith]

He didnt bring her in just to do a spin-off but to also give TCO actresses more time off (where he got the sense that the 3 main stars of the show should get more time off is beyond me).

I liked Billie at first but then she just got worse and worse and her 2nd power was just beyond ridiculous. Christy was a one note charecter so I didnt care for her. She could have been good but she was just so black with no grey areas or white areas.

Evil doesn't have the ability to truly love others.

Yes they do. This was proven in "Heartbreak City" when Drazi fell in love with a mortal woman:

Cupid: Drazi fell in love with a mortal woman. I redirected her love towards a mortal man away from Drazi. She's married now, very happy. But Drazi blames me for denying him love. (Phoebe starts stirring some stuff in a bowl really fast.) A hundred slow strokes there.

Phoebe: So are you telling me that demons love?

Cupid: Uh huh. Frightening stuff. Love of evil, love of fear, sometimes love are the very things they hate. In this case a human being. You know, if a demon can open his heart, there's hope in you too, Phoebe.

And does anyone *really* think that the Angel of Destiny in Witch Way Now *didn't* know what the sisters would choose? Otherwise, how could he know that Piper was pregnant, since, obviously that--raising the Twice-Blessed Kid--was the Charmed Ones' next destiny, since it sure wasn't looking for and saving innocents! Had the sisters not accepted their destiny, Wyatt would've had *his* powers taken away, too, so Piper could have her "normal" life.

There's no evidence that SuperBrat's powers would've been taken away as well. The Angel of Destiny was offering the Charmed Ones the deal to give away their powers, not the powers of the next generation:

Angel of Destiny: You can choose to relinquish your magic and lead normal lives again, unaccounted, free, we'd wipe the entire slate clean, nobody would come after you again.

Just because he promised that they'd no longer have their powers and demons would no longer attack them does not mean that SuperBrat wouldn't have still been magical and a target for demons.

Plus, I also find this line cryptic:

Angel of Destiny: By the way, thought you'd like to know, neither decision would've affected yours and Leo's personal destiny.

SuperBrat was concieved before the deal was offered, so their "personal destiny" that the Angel referenced may easily have been to produce The Twice Blessed Child, which would've remained unchanged.



And in response to Bimbo v.s. Crazy, my most despised character on the series was Bimbo and Crazy ranks third most despised (SuperBrat takes second place). But I don't think I really want to say I liked Crazy more, because I never liked her at all...she just wasn't in as many episodes and didn't have unlimited power (projection) like Bimbo did.

[Esmeralda]

Oh, I'm not saying *I* would've liked a Fugly and Dork spinoff, but I'm sure you know by now that at the time the show ended, you and I were *WAY* in the minority--most of the fans wanted a Chris/Wyatt spinoff no matter what you and I (and the few others who thought the same way) think of the how horrible Chris and Wyatt were as characters and Drew and Wes were as actors (they NEVER would've been able to carry an entire series by themselves, and Aaron Spelling Productions obviously knew that--but to think that Kaley could've as Billie?? *shudders* What was Kern smoking??). I remember how pissed the Chris-fans were when Christy showed up--they saw it as a thumb-to-the-nose at the ones who wanted a Chris-spinoff. I just rolled my eyes, because the name was obviously chosen so they could have "The Last Temptation of Christy" just like Chris' name was chosen for "ChrisCrossed" and Paige for "Paige From the Past."

And because THAT's the spinoff these fans wanted, they got upset when they found out that Kern was using S8 to set up his own spinoff starring Billie and Christy, taking out their anger at them a LOT more than the characters deserved, no matter how rotten their characters were.

And I'm NOT saying that fans wouldn't have still hated both of them, but it would've been more along the way that they felt about S2's Jenny Gordon or Dan or Leslie or Brody or Dex or other such unforgettable characters as compared to their reactons towards both of the Jenkinses.

i liked billie in the show (because i´m a kaley fan )

but i don´t like christy

[ljones]

From the few Season 8 episodes I have seen, I liked Christy. She tried to set Billie on fire. And she was portrayed by a better actress.

[**Teyla_Emmagan**]

I liked Christy a bit more too
Billie was sometimes a bit annoying to me...
And Christy was kind of interessting,
in the beginning you could not see what she was planning...

[babbytigger]

i didn't like it when Billie and Christy vs each other because they love each other because they were sister

[lilpiper15]

i thought billie was better than christy cause i could see through her but billie was twisted by her sister because she throught she owed her but really she didnt it was just part off a manger plan to get rid of the charmed ones which is pretty evil as they where trying to do good

[sagittarian]

Billie was quite frankly a pathetic character. A feabley inept attempt at keeping viewers. my disdain for her is immearsurable.
I stopped watching once she joined the cast and I'm unable to even watch reruns with her in them.
She truly marked the downfall of the series.
