Their last season ender showed that the charmed ones orchestrated their own (fake) death so that the FBI would stop following them. Now the 8th season starts with a funeral for the sisters where they have altered their appearances. At first even they themselves are confused who’s who. So when Wyatt doesn’t recognized the new look of Piper, Phoebe decided to make a spell that will give them permanent new identities to the outside world but will still look the same to those within the family.
Together with new identities comes with new names, the sisters are now the cousins of the presumed dead charmed ones. Paige is Joe Benette, Piper is Jenny Bennett and Julie Bennette is Phoebe, while Leo is Louis.
New life means new love for Phoebe, this time she is paired with Dex Lawson (Jason Lewis of Sex and the City). She first noticed her at the funeral and also had a premonition that she will marry him. While, Piper, being the eldest, remains paranoid that the demons will find out the sisters are still alive. Paige on the other hand can't escape her Whitelighter instincts and answers a call of a new charge - a young witch named Billie that will soon be doing all the witch-vanquishing demon stuff for the charmed ones.
Exciting?! Yes! New people new roles are always welcome to spice up the lives of these three gorgeous witches. Though I have read that they’ll be reducing the airtime of Leo to cut costs so that they can get more guests. The cost cutting is also the reason why Dorian Gregory who plays Darryl is no longer on the show. I just hope that the storylines will be more exciting than ever so that this series will still be on air for another 5 or more years... I want to see if Wyatt stays good or turns evil.
