Here’s some Interesting Charmed trivia for fans of the Halliwell sisters.
Several of the actors on Charmed are veterans of other Aaron Spelling shows. Dorian Gregory (Officer Darryl Morris) appeared on Beverly Hills, 90210 which starred Shannon Doherty for several seasons. Alyssa Milano starred on Melrose Place.
In the original Charmed series pilot, Phoebe was played by actress Lori Rom who went on to recurring roles on Party of Five, Providence and Jack & Jill). Lori was replaced by Alyssa Milano and the Phoebe scenes were re-shot to include Alyssa.
In the first episode, there’s a newspaper that says, “Police Doubt Fire Was Accidental.” This paper was also used as a prop in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. That movie starred Robin Williams and also took place in San Francisco. In the movie, Robin Williams’ character used the second and third word of the headline to invent the title character’s name.
Each of the Halliwell sisters died several times during the series. Prue died three times, Piper died nine times, Phoebe died seven times and Paige died six times. All returned to life with the exception of Prue when Shannon Doherty left the show.
Holly Marie Combs & Alyssa Milano are the only actors to appear in every episode of the series. If you count the unaired pilot, Holly Marie Combs alone holds that distinction. Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Brian Krause (Leo) and Jennifer Rhodes (Grams) are the only actors to appear in every season of the series.
As predicted in the season three episode entitled “All Halliwell’s Eve,” the first name of Phoebe’s true love begins with a “C” — Coop (or was it truly Cole?).
The scene at the end of the next-to-last episode when the Manor is blown up was actually the last scene of the series ever shot.
The final shot of the series of the Manor doors closing is the same shot used in the season 4 episode “Witch Way Now?”. The reduced season eight budget prevented new scenes from being shot on location for the final season. 
i love charmed and i am the biggest fan ever charmed is the best and i cant not belive it is comming to a finale i will nver forget this show for as long as i live i LOVE IT GO THE CHARMED ONES
they should have a spin off with the sons and with there kids
Please let Charmed come back.. If you don’t, you lose a lot of money! That’s not good.. Why did you close Charmed? I’m from Norway and I love to see Charmed.. I see Charmed every day.. I see the sesons over and over again.. Why does it has to end now? 🙁 I’m very sad, because Charmed has been a part of me! I hope you bring Charmed back again 🙂 *Hope*
I can’t believe charmed is over. I’m so upset. The way it ended i don’t think they are going to bring it back. Now i’m watching the reruns and all the movies or tv shows holly marie combs is in. She was my favorite one on the show. I’m glad they kept her and leo together, and i’m really glad they had them have a children which was her girl. It’s kind of ironic that each of the three sisters had three of their own. It’s even more ironic that phoebe had all girls, piper had 2 boys and 1… Read more »
I was sorry to see the end of the series. I like others have been watching it back to back. I was one that started watching it on TNT and caught up with everything. I really hate that it has ended.
It would have been great to see the children growing up and using their powers.
It would have been great to see Phoebe in more than a brief shot of her life as married.
Neverthless, the ending did capture and show us what happen in the future.
I am just sad to see it go.
charmed is the best I still cant beleave it is over with the last episode was sad but the ending was alright I loved ut.
i loved charmed and have every series of it except the last one which i watch over and over again i think holly marie combs who plays piper is a brilliant actor and i hope in the future they make more series of charmed because its a wonderful show xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I still cannot believe you took “Charmed” off of the air. To me and lots of other respected viewers rate this show up there with one of daytimes best “Days of our Lives.” I watch it everyday both back to back episodes on TNT in the mornings and in teh afternoons. I have small children who love this show too. My daughter (age 4) wants to watch it everyday after school. Please bring it back.
I can’t believe Charmed is gone! Like so many other fans, I have been watching the show forever! At present I watch the old shows every day on TNT. It come before any thing. I’m not a young person in fact I’m over 50 and Charmed is the one thing I look forward to each day. Please bring it back!!! I hope this has nothing to do with the death of Mr. Spelling.
i love charmed its actually the only interesting thing on tv
Please bring back Charmed!! This is the only show I watch religiously. My two girls and I look forward to watching the show together. I had no idea it was being cancelled. This is an awesome and powerful show that should not end. It communicates the power of families and strong relationships not to mention the value of good over evil. We love the show and the characters. The actors are perfect in their roles and believable. We love them and the show – PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
I watch very little “regular” tv; but have always enjoyed “Charmed” – my children sometimes will sit and watch with me; and their being teenagers, says a lot.
I didn’t realize it was ending: I hope you understand the impact of losing one of the few good-hearted shows left on tv.
Maybe you’ll pay attention to the fans of the show, and bring it back – soon.
I’ve been watching charmed 4eva and it is unbeliveable that the network wants to cancel it. If you ask me they will lose alot of fan base and money because everyone i know watches it!!!! And wants to continue!!
Bring back Charmed! I cannot believe they wanted it to end. Be smart and bring it back. i’m totally devoted to that show along with all th WB show’s. So listen to me BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!
love charmed frotie shows
