    The Alyssa vs Shannon thing really sucked because honestly I think Prue and Phoebes relationship was the most impactful and honestly the most realistic sibling like relationship. I love Prue/Piper and Piper/Phoebe, but watching Prue and Phoebes relationships grow and change both characters for the better was really great to watch. The show almost got there again with the development of Piper and Paige’s relationship but it never quite got there for me.

      @@lindleloverwatterson3484 I’ve heard that Holly has went on record saying that production stepped in during the bad period and basically forced Alyssa and Shannon into a sit down. She said that in her opinion that this was the final nail in the coffin and was basically adding fuel to the fire. I can’t help but think that maybe the break between season three and four could have let the situation die down and let the actresses catch their breaths and even maybe have sorted the situation themselves. I will admit that I am a lover of phoebe Halliwell, she was my fave sister honestly, but the Phoebe we ended up with in season 8 was a far cry from the character when she was at her best (the first three years). Also rewatching it now as an adult and I just cringe at how massive her characters nosedive is 😬

    Prues character development was one of the best I’ve seen in any series . Especially for just 3 seasons. Season 3 will always and forever be the best season of charmed. And the biggest reason was bc of pure. She was the drive that kept the other two going and she carried them and ultimately gave them the tools they’d need to take over when she died. She’s like the true matriarch of the show. No offense to grams. Lol

    I love that the change in her character is shown with her costumes. She starts off dressing like a responsible adult, which represents her loss of childhood, but eventually allows brighter colours and looser clothes into her wardrobe, reclaiming her youth. It really shows how she's finally accepting her real self and is comfortable with her witch nature.

    Also even her hair evolution was symbolic of her character. From that ultra structured short do in season one, to the progressively longer hair in season two and finally the very long and more mane-like hair in season three signifying her letting herself go. It was one of the best arcs for a character in such a short amount of time. It even made her cliffhanger death make sense upon repeated views though at the time I thought it was stupid how they just discarded her character.
    Now I wonder what they could have even done to progress her story outside of creating her own family. It would feel as forced as most of Phoebe's relationships after Cole. Her character had the best run because she didn't live long enough to have her character become a scumbag like they did to Phoebe and Piper.

    I recently re-watched all 8 seasons of Charmed and found myself relating most with Prue. I'm the eldest child in my family and I also have that maternal drive that Prue had in season 1 and even though my mom is alive and well, I still looked after my siblings a lot, and sometimes it's hard to accept that they're all growing and soon won't need me anymore. And watching Prue's death now as an adult was really hard. Especially since in the earlier episodes she spoke of wanting a family and seeing her robbed of that just breaks my heart. It's a shame that Shannon Doherty never reappeared in the show, it would've been nice to see the sister's reunite, especially with Piper as she was most affected by Prue's passing and her becoming the oldest sister. And Paige meeting Prue would've been a great moment. Such a long comment but anyway, thank you for making this video about Prue! Will you be making videos about the other sisters as well?

    I think it was a serious disservice to the series that Prue was killed off. I also think the way her character died was too vague. They didn’t even explain in detail how she died, just showing her getting slammed through a wall. I mean the sisters have all died in much more interesting ways throughout the show, so that death scene was really underwhelming when you think about how powerful Prue initially was at that point. I also think it was really bad that she never came back as a ghost. The network should have tried to compromise with Shannon to at least let her come back one time in officially meet Paige and give phoebe and piper more closure. Honestly, if Phoebe had died I think it would’ve been a bit better. Piper definitely couldn’t have stayed dead, cause she’s really almost the heart of the show and I don’t think Leo’s character wouldn’t have much reason to stick around at that point. I also think it’s just really sad Prue never got to have her own identity outside of family obligations and ultimately died young just like her mom. I think that’s why Gram’s said she was having a hard time adjusting to being dead, because she really did fear she’d end up like her mother. I think this was also why piper was so hurt, because she saw how screwed up it was that Prue never really got a chance to live her own life. Ultimately I think Prue being the rock for all of them in the first 3 seasons did give the other two characters the strength and intelligence to move on without her. It’s also good they gave piper a more lethal power because Paige being the youngest and strongest doesn’t make much sense. She was too new and insecure of not being able to match up to Prue to take the lead.

      Great points but I disagree with you about the hypothetic deaths of the other sister. Even though I hated that Shannon left the show, I thought her character's death was the most useful to the character development of the other sisters. Because Piper evolved from the weakest to the strongest sister and phoebe had to become a peace maker. A role she never thought she'd play. Also Rose mcGowan's introduction was set up well in season 2. But going back to Prue. Her death made sense in her arc of being too fearless, too daring and bit reckless. All the things Prue was. She risked her life all the time and ran toward danger. I think the fact that it led to her demise was very poetic.

      I think Shannen’s future was up in the air and when the decision was made they couldn’t show her likeness so they told the story as best they could. They could have compromised in bringing her back, but they could have re-casted Prue for ghost scenes. I always thought Lisa Edelstein or even Charisma Carpenter could play Prue. But they used Charisma to play Kira in season 7.

    It's interesting that you said it was great in season 3 how she became independent of her sisters. I have it in mind that she, along with Piper and Phoebe, were trailing off into their own paths. The thing is, the Charmed Ones are at their strongest when they are together and between Piper's concern in normal life, Phoebe becoming more distant with her romance to Cole, and Prue being more determined to train and combat evil (along with her impulsive attitude in confronting evil), all these things pushed them to be more independent of each other but also more vulnerable. Which I imagine is what lead to Prue's death (overlooking meta events).

    Always have a soft spot for Prue , charmed feels like two different shows even thought the first 5 seasons were great even after Prue cuz season 4 was amazing the dark storyline made it so much better after season 5 it kinda went crazy though season 7 was good and the last 4 episodes of season 8 were great though ..

    All 4 were great actresses on the show, but Shannen was probably the best.
    Such a raw charisma, and never "over-acted" - very subtle nuances in her acting, and always this sadness / heaviness in her eyes indicative of the pressures she felt as the oldest sister.

  • @ichbin296

    Yes yes yes!!
    Please do a character analysis for each of the sisters.
    Or at least for Piper. She's my favourite and she had such an amazing character arc going from hopeless romantic and peacekeeper to cynic. More than anybody else she embodied different familial roles, going from middle sister to eldest sister and mother and wife and even the only grandma visible on the show.
    EDIT: The only grandma within the sisters, not counting grams of course.

  • @therecitalist

    Thank you for this...though I love magic and the craft, I LOVE the care and study they gave to birth order and family dynamics more than anything. Oldest, middle and youngest can often have distinct personality traits...the writers nailed it in my opinion. I hope this new reboot puts care into this as they have complicated it with the oldest of the two and the half sister who is the eldest of the three, with no history of having siblings. I hope they know this matters.

    Prue was one of my favorite characters and I always wanted to see a video done on her. She was real and complex, badass and feminine. The writers showed that she was tough and grew after everything she went through. This was a fantastic analysis on her arc. I like Paige, but I still think she show would've been better if Constance M. Burge continued as the show runner instead of Brett Kurt (he ruined the show and characters especially Phoebe and Grams) and if they kept Prue as a character on the show and continued with the darkness. The first three seasons were ahead of its time. Prue and Phoebe were amazing. Piper's character development ended up being the later seasons redeeming quality. I can't help but wonder if they still would have made Piper a stronger character if she didn't lose Prue. Probably not. If they brought Prue back after season 4 or kept her and still had Piper evolve into a stronger character, the last few seasons would've been amazing. At least they were fun.

    Even though i hate that Shannon left the show, I thought her character's death was very useful to the character development of the other sisters. Because piper evolved from the weakest to the strongest and phoebe had to become a peace maker. A role she never thought she'd play. Also Rose mcGowan's introduction was set up well. But going back to Prue. Her death made sense in her season 3 arc of being too fearless, daring and bit reckless. All the things Prue was. That's why she was infected with "pride" She risked her life all the time and ran toward danger. I think the fact that it led to her demise was very poetic. Miss you forever Prue 😘

    You hit the nail on the head with this one! I think Prue had such an amazing development, and partly because she was the ‘main character’ during the first three seasons; I felt like she had a huge/an important role within the story, that it all felt off afterwards. Don’t get me wrong I adore Paige! But I would be remiss if I acted like Prue’s absence wasn’t felt; the showed changed afterwards and I don’t know if it was for the better. Season 4-5 were great, but it dropped started at season 6 :/ It would have been so cool if Prue came back, and Paige becomes the Whitelighter if the charmed ones, so that all four witches can still co-exist without harming the power of three!!

Which was broken down in this video I didn’t like her when I was younger because she was just to bossy. As I got older and more mature I saw it as being responsible. Not to mention that the lady was just IT!!! like the confidence she had was beyond sexy the role was definitely meant for Shannen and made for Shannen I always wonder the the show would’ve been like if she don’t leave or even if she came back a few times like grams and Patty.

    This was an interesting watch. Prue was never my favorite but she had some great qualities and her dynamic with the other sisters was always authentic. Shannen is an amazing actress and it would've been great to see Prue in certain circumstances that happened after her death. I wonder where her photography would've taken her, would they have paired her with a human like they eventually did Paige? So many avenues but then again where would Piper and Phoebe be? Some things happen for a reason and her death allowed the other two to actually grow up. I would love to see this done on the other sisters and even Leo.

    Thank you for such an amazing analysis, it really made me appreciate the show even more than I already did. 🎶
    The first episodes I've seen were actually ones where Paige was already a part of the family and she instantly became my favourite sister, so it took me a while to warm up with Prue when I watched the first 3 seasons, but that doesn't mean I didn't like her, she was actually very relatable as well. I think all sisters have a very amazing characterization and they all have at least one aspect that everyone can relate to.

      The remake shouldn't use Charmed as the title. They could have built the show up instead of ruining the original Charmed name and its reputation. They did the same with Ghostbusters (all women cast) luckily that was in a different dimension and the latest Ghostbusters will continue on from the last. I hope this charmed series is also from a different dimension too and doesn't hurt the best and original Charmed. I'm a massive Charmed fan ever since it was aired.

The show writers didn't have an opportunity to ruin her character as many shows generally do as a major series progresses. I'm glad the comics answered some of our fan questions but will always wish the show had at least let Prue appear in spirit in a later season, even if from afar with a body double the way Angel did with Buffy after SMG was done with the role.
