Facts
Brad Kern reveals: My plan is to cut up a two-parter where episode 21 crests to the big season finale-like battle, but then repercussions occur and that leads us into the series finale. They'll be separate episodes, but one hands the baton off to the other.
:: Leo will be back for the final two episodes.
:: [When asked if Prue or Cole could be back for the back half of the season, Brad Kern answers:] "In my ideal world... The huge problem I have to deal with this year is the budget cutback. I'm trying to save money each episode so I can afford to bring back as many of the regular cast members as possible. Who that will be, I don't know, but my plan is to have the equivalent of a "family reunion" including as many people as I can afford. I'm not going to be able to get Julian McMahon back [as Cole]; I twisted his arm, and begged and bribed him to come back for the 150th episode last year, which he so lovingly offered to do. But that doesn't mean I don't have flashbacks! [Laughs] I can pull back the celluloid. The goal for me is to take the series out the way it began. It's interesting that one of the criticisms, rightfully so, is about the lack of sisterhood, but I'm building to it being all about sisters. Even when we talk about Kaley Cuoco's Billie, we're going to be bringing her sister, Christy, into the show [played by recent Supernatural guest star Marnette Patterson], working around the final ultimate battle. That seems kind of poetic because that's what the series has fundamentally always been about, and that's how it will end.
:: "Grams comes back and we're hoping Mom comes back," [Brad Kern revealed.] An interview with Dorian Gregory reveals that there are plans to have Darryl back. "We're going to give Darryl something very interesting this year," [Dorian Gregory says.] Source: Official Charmed Magazine, Issue #8
:: Ivan Sergei reveals: [I'll be on Charmed for] the rest of the season. I know that I am going to find out that Paige is a witch. I think it's going to be a fun kind of episode where I'm having a bad week, so she tells the fairies to stop stealing my keys and tells the leprechauns to help me out a bit, so I, like, win the lottery and stuff like that.
:: Brad Kern: "There's every likelihood" that this will be the show's final season. "The girls' contracts are up this season, and I wouldn't imagine that they would want to, or should be expected to, come back after devoting pretty much their entire 20s to Charmed. But you can never say never." Kern, who's keeping open the possibility of a spin-off built around Kaley Cuoco's new witch, said this season viewers will see a shift in focus "more toward the girls' personal lives. It's going to be fun to watch their Sex and the City-like antics as they try to do something they've never done before, which is try to lead normal lives.
:: It seems that the sisters will be in disguise for at least 3 episodes and Leo for up to 5 episodes. This may be extended to more episodes.
:: Mark McWrath is no longer appearing in Charmed because of other work commitments. He will be replaced, however, by the gorgeous Jason Lewis, who played Samantha's boyfriend in Sex And The City.
He will appear in a 6 episode arc as Dex, an artist who has admired Phoebe from afar but never worked up the courage to ask her out. Now, Phoebe tries to form a relationship with Dex – especially after she has a premonition that she will marry him.
:: '8 simple rules' star, Kaley Cuoco, will appear as a regular in the next series of Charmed as a young witch being trained by the Charmed ones. Sources: 1 and 2.
