Charmed 4x01-2♡Uncut Reaction &Review ♡

The season 3 finale was actually the first episode of Charmed I ever saw. 😂 I had just moved to the USA, and I was flipping through channels one night and got sucked in by Shannon and Holly’s acting. I hadn’t even seen the rest of the show when I started watching season 4, but I quickly bought about 30 VHS tapes worth of episodes online from another fan who had recorded them when they originally aired (this was in 2001 😂) and caught up. When I first started season 1, Prue was my least favorite sister. But she quickly became my second favorite (sometimes tied for first with Piper). I was able to easily accept Paige, because I had no connection to Prue, having never seeing more than one episode with her in it before watching the season 4 premiere. I’m glad you were so open and willing to give Paige a chance, and that you didn’t just tune out emotionally once you realized Prue wasn’t coming back. 💜 Paige is a very different character from Prue, and the hole left by Prue never gets filled or goes away, but the rest of the show was still enjoyable (some seasons more than others). As for the behind the scenes drama that led to Shannon leaving the show… it’s always been a she said/she said kind of situation. But Shannon and Holly were always incredibly close, and remained close until Shannon passed away last year. Shannon got blamed in the press and painted as a diva who was impossible to work with. But as it stands, Holly, Rose, and Shannon all have/had issues with Alyssa, and got along fine with each other, so it’s hard to see how Shannon was the “bad guy”. Plus, Shannon was BFF with Sarah Michelle Gellar (who seems like a sweetie) since all the way back when Buffy and Charmed were still on the air. I always think the company a person keeps says a lot about them. 🤷‍♀️

It’ll take a few episodes to adjust Sofie, but Paige is great she fits in so well!

I love Paige. She and Piper are my favourites of the sisters. And I love the dynamic change in adding a younger sister. Piper is now the oldest and Phoebe is now the middle. Some people wish they'd killed Phoebe off instead of Prue, but the dynamic just wouldn't have changed enough imo. Just adding a new younger sister. Prue still would've been oldest, and Piper the middle. Unless they introduced an older sister, which I think is the only way that would've worked. The change in dynamic is a big part of why it worked, I think.

I have been waiting for your reaction to these 2 episodes. The first I watched it, I was like you, in denial. These 2 episodes always get me emotional not matter how many times I have watched it. I am excited to see you to get to know Paige better.

Charmed is kinda infamous for the amount of behind-the-scenes drama that was happening on set. From what I understand, Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty eventually couldn't stand one another, and often engaged in serious conflict on set which was detrimental to the production. The friction became so intense that one of them (accounts vary on which, though I think it was most likely Milano) issued an ultimatum to the producers, demanding that the other be let go. Ultimately, Doherty was fired.

Dont worry Sofie, we all been there, just keep on watching, season 4 is fantastic!

Its the chick from Jaw Breaker

Someone explain to Sofie what happened between the actresses to cause this change…

I remember watching this episode the first time being so confused and thinking I’d missed an episode.

great reaction SoFie!

Me yelling at the screen every time you asked why Paige seems so familiar, “She’s young Cora from Once Upon a Time!” 🤣 Rose McGowan plays her

yay charmed and thank you for uploading 2 episodes SoFie :)
