CHARMED GIRLS Q & A - LivingTV
What's the silliest thing that's ever happened during filming?

Holly Marie Combs: "I wouldn't say it's the silliest that's ever happened, it's just all the stuff at the end of the year when the producers put together the gag reel. You forget all the funny flubs and little things you do over the course of the year and now over the 7 years. I did wish that someone would put together a gag reel of how many times we got knocked on our asses because that's happened quite a few times and it would be priceless."

Even taken a fancy to one of your co-stars or a Demon?

Rose McGowan: "Definitely Julian McMahon as Cole is the best portrayal of over the top demon I've seen. He knows how to play that better than anyone with this character."

If you could have changed one thing about your character on the show, what would it be?

Alyssa Milano: "Phoebe has definitely grown up in the last 7 seven years; your twenties are a time to find out who you are and your thirties you are basking in your revelations. I think of Phoebe as a good friend. She and I have melded over the years, which makes this character so much fun to play."

If you had powers and there was no problem with personal gain, what spell would you cast?

Alyssa Milano: "I would definitely cast a spell that would bring peace around the world and then another so there would be no one starving in third world countries."

Rose McGowan: "I definitely love the power to orb, it would be so much if I could go to New York to go shopping for the afternoon, go to Paris for lunch and basically not have to stress about the getting there, I'd just be there and have plenty more time."

Do you believe that there is true magic in the world?

Alyssa Milano: "I certainly believe that there is some sort of supernatural force out there, something that is beyond our realm and comprehension at work."

Fill in the blanks: "Although I've been working on Charmed for ages, the best part of the show is..."

Holly Marie Combs: "the longlasting friendships we've made. I met my husband on this show and had a child on this show."

Alyssa Milano: "the people. Most of us have been together 7 years now and it's become like a family, a home away from home with the cast and the crew."

Rose has been described as smart, Alyssa as fearless and Holly as well - if you had to come up with one adjective that summed yourself up, what would it be?

Rose McGowan: "goofily vulnerable"

What has been your favorite episode to make and why?

Holly Marie Combs: "I loved when I got to do the sword play in the Sword and the City episode from season #6. Although I just found out I was pregnant and didn't get to do as much as I would have liked to."

Rose McGowan: "Definitely the one we did this past season (#7) where Kerr Smith and I went back to the 1930's "Charmed Noir." I just love that era anyway - the costumes, the make-up and hair - just all of it."

If you could have any guest star on the show who would it be?

Rose McGowan: "I'd have to say Orlando Bloom."

To what do you attribute the enduring success of "Charmed?"

Holly Marie Combs: "There's always been a degree of what's relatable in the show. The hocus pocus is fun to watch but I think, at the heart of the show it has family and struggles and needing your sisters when no one else will do and stuff like that."

Rose McGowan: "The fans are awesome and really respond to the show. They give us all a boost. When I'm tired, I try to remember them and try to step it up and do it, because that who it's for."

We have a really busy "Charmed" forum on the official LIVINGtv website. Here's your chance to say something to them, so please do!

Alyssa Milano: "It's because of our fans that we've been able to keep the show going for so long so thank you to all of you loyal Charmed fans."
