Rose McGowan is only contracted to the end of the sixth season so there is no guarantee that she will return after that. She is quoted as saying: "Even if "Charmed" goes seven years, it will still only be three for me," she says. "I like the get-in, get-out thing. My attention span doesn't last that long!" An online survey shows that Rose's character (Paige) is not as popular as Shannen's (Prue). That was because Rose had a really bad start in the show. People hated her and felt that she wasn't qualified enough to replace Shannen. It was only until several episodes later when people said, "Hey! She's not that bad."

Recently, Alyssa Milano's mother confirmed with the press that the three girls have signed on for a seventh season of "Charmed". So looks like the rumors of Rose staying on for only three seasons are just rumors after all.

The unaired pilot of "Charmed" was originally cast with Lori Rom playing Phoebe, but something came up and Lori did not take the part. That was where Alyssa Milano came in, casted to play the role of young and carefree Phoebe Halliwell.

I've watched the unaired pilot and discovered some things that are different from the real first episode. Although some things were added on (such as the pharmacy scene and Inspector Daryl Morris), nearly all of the script lines are the same. The role of Andy Trudeau was originally played by Chris Boyd, and not T.W. King.

The unaired pilot was filmed in the real manor, where it was obviously much different and smaller. You can see that by comparing the length and size of the front hallway and the parlor. The manor we see in each and every episode of "Charmed" is a film set. The Book of Shadows was different too - a lot more simple and plain looking. Rather than the realistic vanquishing of Jeremy in the real episode, Jeremy turned into a serpent-like creature in the unaired pilot.

There was much speculation as to whether Shannen Doherty (Prue) quit the show or was fired. What's the real story behind the mess over at WB's Charmed? Simple enough: an ongoing, vicious and sometimes childish catfight between two of the witchy leads, Alyssa Milano (Phoebe) and Shannen Doherty. Things got so bad that a mediator was called in. Co-star Holly Marie Combs (Piper) tried to intervene; no luck. Everything came to a head when Milano objected to having Shannen direct her in the season finale. When producers told her to go back to work. Milano delivered an ultimatum: "It's me or her." Instead of fighting, Shannen quits. Says one source, "It gets them press for an aging show, allows them to bring in a new young star, and it gets one of them off the set."

According to Alyssa, Shannen was a very hard person to work with. Just about everyone on the set has had enough of her. However, according to Shannen, Alyssa was indignant of the fact that Shannen actually got to direct 3 episodes. And instead of continuing with the fight, Shannen took the high road by quitting the show. "I don't want to work with people who bitch about their job," she quotes. "Let's just say that it wasn't like I walked in one day and said, 'I quit.' It was a very long process of quitting the show. Aaron got as fed up with me as I was with the show, and I think it was because the notoriety was too much. People were hating the character and I couldn't take the abuse that came with that."
