It is not Chekhov’s three sisters that have captivated the viewer - in the literal and figurative sense of the word - for eight seasons now!
Undeniable success
In appearance, the very ordinary (perhaps sympathetic to many) residents of San Francisco are hereditary witches. Secret knowledge is passed down from generation to generation (only on the female line) in the Halliwell family. Now it’s the turn to start conjuring Phoebe, Prue and Piper. In the mansion of the deceased grandmother, the sisters discover a magic book, with it begin the amazing and unpredictable adventures of the newly-made sorceresses of the Charmed series.
The actors of this project, which started in the fall of 1998 on one of the small American channels, instantly won the sincere love of the television audience. The undoubted success of the series (its pilot series already gathered more than 7 million viewers at the screens) was due to an intriguing topic: good sorceresses are fighting evil. Their superpowers, magical items, as well as Gothic surroundings, love experiences, formidable opponents - all played in favor of the film “Charmed”. The actors also laid out in full, which cannot but bribe the viewer.
This is one of the most popular television projects in which women play the main roles. Indeed, for many, the actors in the film Enchanted (or rather, the actresses) are primarily Alyssa Milano and Holly Mary Combs, Rose McGone and Shannen Doherty.
Behind the debut excitement. Enchanted Movie, Season 2
The actors seem to have rubbed each other. And their characters are gaining witchcraft power. Sisters learn about the Elders controlling the Good World and the main adversary of the Triad. Piper finds his happiness with Leo. Further, each season adds magical powers to the main characters and complicates their tasks. Alyssa Milano, who played the younger Phoebe, made her first steps in the film industry as a child. She played the role of the very girl - the kidnapped daughter of the character Arnold Schwarzenegger in the famous "Commando". The only one of Holly’s filming colleagues (Sister Piper) was involved in all, without exception, the series of the Charmed television show. Actors who have been shot from episode to episode 8 years in a row (and there were as many as 176!) Are very rare in modern filmmaking.
Without doherty
Beauty Shannen Doherty (the eldest of the three - Prue) participated only in the first three seasons. Starting to build her career early enough, the actress quickly picked up the so-called star fever.
By the beginning of the 2000s, this ailment had gained serious scope: constant conflicts with the film crew and serial sisters, drunk driving ... Milano delivered the director an ultimatum: either Phoebe or Prue.
Director Aaron Spelling decided to remove his older sister from the script. So, Prue at the end of the 3rd season was killed by a demon. In order to support the Power of Three theory, the creators had to introduce a new character, the half-sister of the Page girls. Casting was stunning: the stars claimed this role. The authors rejected Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eliza Dushku, Sarah Brown and others, focusing on the little-known Rose McGone.
Initially, fans of the telenovela took such a castle in bayonets, but by the second half of the 4th season, the heroine Rose joins the team. Among the other prominent roles of this actress, one can recall the splendid beauty from the “Planet of Fear” Robert Rodriguez: how she poured zombies with bursts from her prosthetic leg! Her career was endangered by an accident that crippled her face and eye. After plastic surgery, she returned to duty. Good training - the film "Charmed"! Actors from this project do not give up. That's why they are witches!
