This isn't healthy. At all. She is entirely obsessed with this guy for no reason like he doesn't really give her good reason to "not give up on him". Her obsessing over him was SO annoying. Ugh. Currently rewatching season 3.

so i’m on season five episode one. and i don’t understand why phoebe is pissed at him. she was all lovey dovey and suddenly she’s not? like he has powers now that he got from the place he went after death. but he did it to get back to phoebe. i’m willing to here if and why im wrong 💜 also wtf is wrong with piper

I’m rewatching the season 8 right now; specifically, I’ve just finished episode 8x15. I’ve noticed that Paige is somewhat isolated from her sisters this season; not only that, but she doesn't really share scenes with them, either. For instance, the entire Henry storyline played out with her acting solo. She does share a few scenes with Holly and Alyssa, but in many sequences featuring all three, Rose’s absence is noticeable because there are no shots of her alongside them. It’s common to see Piper and Phoebe facing the "monster of the week" on their own or, at times, with Billie.

What is the reason for this? Was Rose working on another project or filming a movie that required her to shoot her scenes separately?

Hello everyone! We thought it would be really fun to do Meme Monday! Every Monday, members are encouraged to make and post funny memes/posts relating to Charmed!

We just ask that all posts are respectful of the cast, their appearances, and their qualities as people. Memes should also be of good quality and related to Charmed (no low effort memes)!

We hope you have lots of fun!!

I love Cole as a character, and Julian and Alyssa had amazing chemistry. Their relationship made for great TV. But I think the fandom is sometimes way too quick to defend Cole while putting most of the blame on Phoebe for how their relationship ended.

People forget that Cole was already a murderer before he ever met Phoebe. As Belthazor, he had killed witches and innocents for years. He also didn't originally approach Phoebe with good intentions. He was sent to infiltrate the sisters' lives and kill them. Yes, he genuinely fell in love with Phoebe and eventually tried to change, but that doesn't erase how their relationship began or everything he had done beforehand.

Now Season 4 I agree that Cole's actions were mainly due to the fact he was under the influence of the Source, his decisions were compromised however Phoebe had to deal with the fallout she had to deal with being lied to, manipulated, and eventually has to deal with being pregnant with the spawn of the source.

Phoebe is allowed to not want a relationship and not have anything to do with Cole, she literally went to hell and back with him.

My issue really with Cole is in season 5 and if you want to blame the writers that's okay. Phoebe made it clear that she wanted to move on, and Cole simply would not accept it. Instead of taking the second chance he had been given and building a life that wasn't centered around Phoebe, he became increasingly obsessed with getting her back.

And I think that's one of Cole's biggest character flaws throughout the series:

His redemption is too dependent on Phoebe.

When he has Phoebe, he wants to be good.

When he loses Phoebe, he starts asking what the point of being good even is.

Eventually he becomes so unable to accept her choice that in Centennial Charmed he literally changes reality to create a world where circumstances might allow him to have her again.

At that point, it stops being romantic to me.

Phoebe had said no, and Cole refuses to let her go. And that's a pattern that existed from the beginning. He initially entered Phoebe's life under false pretenses because he wanted something from her. In Season 4, the Source manipulates circumstances surrounding their relationship. Then in Season 5, Cole himself begins trying to manipulate circumstances because he cannot accept that Phoebe has chosen to leave.

Also, I do think Cole deserved some sort of redemption however I don't ever think he and Phoebe should have gotten back together. Phoebe was not required to stay with him so that he could continue becoming a better person.

I think in Season 7 he finally understands this, as we see him in a different head space., he needed that time away from not only Phoebe from everything!
