Charmed Marathon

A great Sunday spent with my fiancé and the Charmed Ones. Well not in reality but on the boob tube. One of the perks I enjoy having a fiancé working with an internet company is being able to watch TV series that I love even before local tv stations gets to air them. Aahh.. The power of the internet in your fingertips.

Anyway, I watched 6 episodes of the 7th season of Charmed. That’s from 1pm – 6pm (non-stop). I really missed these ladies so much. So many things have changed but they are still my beloved Halliwell sistahs. Alyssa is sporting a new do. Her very short hair from last season is now curly and chin-length. Her character Phoebe is on the look out for the father of her future child and still waiting for her powers to comeback. Holly Marie is a little chubby after giving birth to her child (real one)- but its ok since her character Pipper just gave birth to baby Chris in the 1st episode of the 7th season. Rose is funnier as ever and her character Paige is taking on a new responsibility in the Magic School and a new love interest (again!)

Aside from the regular series stars Alyssa Milano (Phoebe), Rose McGowan(Paige) and Holly Marie Combs (Pipper), along with Brian Krause (Leo) and Dorian Gregory (Lt. Darryl), there are a lot of new guest stars in the series.

Former "Dawson's Creek" co-star Kerr Smith plays a recurring role as federal agent Brody. His character is a member of a government group that investigates supernatural events. The character is a believer, a la "The X-Files'" Mulder, and also become a love interest for Paige.

The Seer (guest star Charisma Carpenter of "Angel"), which also have the power of premonition and will eventually be the Charmed Ones’ ally against fighting demons.

Leslie "Les" St. Claire (guest star Nick Lachey, Newlyweds) as a ghostwriter who fills in for the advise column of Phoebe during her sabbatical and ends up falling in love with her.

Some additional spoilers:

Piper does her best to help Leo deal with his grief and find his way again, all the while struggling to balance raising two young children and managing her nightclub, P3.

Lt. Darryl Morris is still on the side of the sisters after what happened last season.

The Charmed Ones greatest ordeal will be when the New Power takes place which every Elder, Witches and Demons alike are anticipating.

Drew Fuller is confirmed to return to the show for 1 episode.

Paige is running Magic School after the death of the School’s Headmaster, Gideon.

Phoebe got her active power back (premonition)

TV Guide interview with Alyssa Milano:

We're all contracted for eight years. But I think we all feel like we want to go out on top. So if our ratings are as strong as they are this year, we'll probably go for an eighth season. And if it starts to slip, we'd all decide to end after the seventh season. It's a tricky thing to know when the right time to end a show is.
