It’s been 18 years since Charmed left our screens. Having become a cult favorite, the series continues to attract new fans. It must be said that the TV show enjoys almost constant transmission on TNT channels. A chance for a whole new generation to discover the adventures of these three witch sisters who fight demons every day.
And if Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Paige (Rose McGowan) managed to gather a real fan base, Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) remains the most popular. Wicked, reckless and full of self-deprecating malice, the character has undergone tremendous development over the seasons. Moreover, the young woman’s plebiscite was confirmed at an unexpected moment, to say the least.
Alyssa Milano is very popular with the public
Indeed, during the broadcast of the first two episodes of the 5th season, the series experienced a real audience peak. Reason ? If we are to believe the information of the Screenrant site, the audience liked to discover Alice Milano in a mermaid costume even when three young women tried to save one of them who was fighting an evil witch.
Disheartened by the failure of her story with Cole, Phoebe then discovers that she has been transformed into a mermaid. A success that gave ideas to the series’ executive producer, Brad Kern. So he envisioned a spin-off called Mermaids that would follow the adventures of Nick, a mermaid stranded in Miami. Saved by a beautiful lawyer, he then tried to integrate into humans.
A spin-off that took water…
Although a pilot was filmed in 2005 with Natalie Kelly (The Vampire Diaries) in the cast, it ultimately did not pan out. However, it was well received and even had a good chance of being picked up by the WB channel. Unfortunately, this was the same period that the UPN/WB merger took place. became CW, the new channel simply abandoned the project. According to Brad Kearney, the minimal budget given to the pilot would have played a large role in this radical choice. Harm!
