That is true the way that you put it. Your opinion on the character is the part to look at more than your opinion of the actress.
I have always loved Alyssa, but I have become even more of a fan now. I just love everything about her lol. So right now, I personally like Alyssa over Shannen, and Phoebe over Prue. So I am glad that Alyssa was the one to stay.
But don't get me wrong! I love Shannen too (as well as Prue). When Prue died on the show, I bawled my eyes out lol. SOOOO much

Ha yah i cried so hard! At first I wasnt sure if she actully died tho b.c in All Hell Breaks Loose it dosent really explain what happened.. you had to wait to find out in Charmed Again Part 1! I love Prue/Shannen but Phoebe also grew up so much throughout the show and went throught everything with Cole and with all of her other guys on the show. It would have most def. been difeerent without Phoebe! Phoebe went through a lot and it not only changed her but also the sisters and their relationship!

I personally don't lol. Piper Sorelli Halliwell, I watched Charmed on reruns, so I had NO idea that Prue was going to die. After All Breaks Loose I wasn't crying about Prue dying, because I didn't know that she had! I thought that Leo would just heal her or something... So then the next day they started the episode with her funeral. I was SOOO upset. I had no idea that it was coming, so I had no way to plan for it mentally (lol ). I bawled sooo hard. I'm finally able to watch that episode without crying. The first like... 20 times I saw it I bawled my eyes out everytime. The first time I saw it I cried for SOOO long. Not just during the episode haha. I went to bed that night and just cried. As sad as that sounds it's true, and I'll be the first to admit it! lol. Honestly, I don't think that Charmed would have gone on as long if Alyssa had left. A big part of the show is the whole sisterly dynamic. Apparently the dynamic with Piper, Phoebe, and Paige worked very well. It was great. But it probably wouldn't have been the same with Prue, Piper, and Paige. But who knows!

Well a lot of storylines would have been knocked out. Cole's character wouldn't have had a very good role, and that was a HUGE storyline through Season 4. I really think that storyline kept viewers interested, even though a main character had been killed off.

Not really....
If Phoebe had left it would have affected the other storylines, and this whole discussion is on whether Alyssa should have left instad of Shannen. Therefore discussing the other storylines that would be affected by Alyssa leaving is completely relavent. lol.

I picked No way and yes i agree if Phoebe/Alyssa would have left instead of Shannen it would have ruined Julian McMahon's character as Cole for that was his lover in the show.That would have been a hard thing to twist around!Plus Phoebe is my FAVORITE!LOL

To be honest....I think that either way the show would have still had the same outcome. Alyssa and Shannen are both big stars, and on the same level too. I think I've hear of more shows with Shannen than Alyssa....but they're both well known. People I know have heard of Shannen more than Alyssa. But I think a lot of the reason people prefer Alyssa is A- They've already seen 8 seasons with her in it and couldn't imagine it any other way, B- Prue and Phoebe are a lot different from each other so its personal preference, but people probably took pity on Phoebe because of Prue's critisism(sp?), and C- they could have about how Shannen is in real life.
thats my idea! lol

lol you could be completely right, but I think that because of Prue and Phoebe's completely different personalities the sisterly dynamic woudln't have been the same with Prue, and without Phoebe. I just don't think that Prue, Piper, and Paige would have bene such a great dynamic. Plus, Piper's character really grew by Phoebe's death when she became the oldest sister. That character change was really important for the show. I personally like Piper's character as the oldest sister, rather than the middle sister.

Yes agreed and I had never even heard of Shannen till Charmed I always watched Who's the boss because 90210 wasn't the best show except for i think his name was luke perry he's hott lol! but anyways Holly and Shannen were best friends but Holly and Alyssa grew as friends aswell and i do agree that they are both big stars but they really aren't bigger then each toher because most people ahve heard of Alyssa and the other most of them have heard of Shannen that is a no win situation but i think if Alyssa would ahve left many more would have stopped watching Charmed and i know i'm one of them use Prue was a great asset to the show but i think it would have stopped maybe a season or 2 later if Alyssa would have left instead.
