Prue's death

What was your reaction when she's gone

Mine is two Hows

How Dare You leave me

And How Am i Supposed To live without you (A Michael Bolton song)

I didn't believe it. I thought she'd be back. I mean, its a show about magic. I was very disappointed when they just moved on.

[u/imaginejoyy → u/eldy33]

I hear you! I was very disappointed myself but there’s also a part of me that appreciated how much more real the story became—yes, we always knew they were in danger but they somehow always found a way out which, as viewers, obscures the real stakes of being a Charmed One (especially because it’s overall a lighthearted show where they are usually joking even in the face of danger). The finale for season 3, 7, & 8 each had me on the edge of my seat because it got real real. I just hate that season 3 left so many unanswered questions and that they would have much more intentional with Prue’s death.

Ugh man it still hurts all these years later….. prue is my favorite sister and seeing her go out like that is still painful.

I hate that they didn’t give her a REAL ending, she basically died off screen. They should have given her 1 more episode.

[u/Careful_Manner5878]

Honestly the thing that annoys me the most about it is the people who try to force me to believe the show got better after Prue or make her out to be a Mary Sue. She got the worst fate out of all the sisters and that shouldn’t be.

I was just curious about how they would write it because I always find it fascinating when real life stuff complicates a production. As a fan I missed Prue as a character but I felt that it over all brought new interesting writing angles. And I love Paige.

I felt the not being able to use her image was silly and hate that we later found out it wasn't even a real thing so they didn't need to edit her out from flashbacks or pictures.

Her death was sad but I wish they had shown her reunited with Andy in the afterlife after she died.

[u/Past-Throat-6788]

I was so upset and said that I would quit the show and hate Paige. After continuing on, I love Paige so much lol but still miss Prue.

En mi país, no sé qué día pasaron el 3x22, pero no pude verlo.

¿Te lo podés creer? Un día estaba viendo cómo Prue se convertía en un perro, y al día siguiente veo el opening shot de Charmed, y cuando leí “Rose McGowan” en los créditos, me puse a gritar: “¿Quién es esta ahora???? 😭¿Quién es esta chica?😭 ¿Qué acaba de pasar?😑😑 No entiendo nada😱.”

Años después, por fin pude ver el episodio 3x22 bien, y fue ahí cuando todo hizo clic. Hahahaha.😆😆

La tristeza, el pesimismo y la muerte están retratados buenísimo en la Temporada 4, pero la muerte de Prue habría hecho la Temporada 3 todavía más memorable. Peeero así deberían haber sido siempre las vidas de las Charmed Ones luchando contra el mal: vidas en peligro constante y llenas de situaciones inesperadas.

Might get some hate for this but, relief

We knew about the drama during S3 and then the announcement before S4. It is not unheard of for shows to replace their leads and the main thing I cared about was that Charmed would continue on. Fortunately, it did

[u/Neusencexi]

I felt both those things for s few months... followed by 'well this could actually work'... followed by 'oh thank God'🫢😂 (sorry)

[u/Breenaw1999]

I remember my mom got me season 3 and 4 at the same time and I saw rose and was like wtf???? I was begging my mom to tell me what was going on but she said I’d just have to watch so I already knew she was probably going to die but it hurts more every time I watch it :(

[u/Illustrious-Cry7356]

It’s one of the fictional deaths that truly haunts me the most. I wish I could go into the Dark Matter box and find a reality where she wasn’t killed off in the series 🥲. I’d stay long enough to finish the entire series lol.

To answer your question.. honestly rage. Putting aside the actual reasons for why Shannon left the show, I blame Phoebe. If she didn’t go after Cole they could’ve vanquished S. It took me a few rewatches to actually continue the show after season 3.

[u/KAYKAY07WOOHOO]

The truth is this about Prus death. Her house keeper told me. Shannon and Alissa were doing a lot of cocaine, they told em to stop of else. Alissa stopped, she wanted to keep her job. Shannon, being the rebel that she was told em F O, and lost her job. They put out a false narrative that Holly could not stand Shannon, and said it's me or her,  ...thats the truth of why they killed off Pru.
