Paige's past life epsiode!

Kelsey W

Days after this epsiode was released...my husband ended our marriage. For an old high school girlfriend he had. They dated before he and I started dating. They are together now but he didn't cheat he says...

Kelsey W

I think y'all are too hard on that episode. I love it because we see a family member who practices magic and who understands the girls. Someone that is alive at least. Also I think the reason the coven is so lost is because Gram's is not there anymore to guide them. They probably have minor power but the super witch was Penny. In that sense, they loose themselves too greed and wants to stay alive forever. Penny was the only link that avoid them to go that path.

Elyssa Fleur

if that was the case, he would have been rejected twice the poor guy hahaha

Anh-Phi

You shot in Fillmore and the house was in Piru @ the Piru Mansion

Courtney Perkins

Love how Holly is obsessing over Daisy hahaha! Holly, you are allowed back in France even if you are team Dan... Would be amazing to hear from writers and crew members!

Charlotte

that would have been strange Having Dan come back in season 8... especially after the way he reacted when he found out Piper was a witch than his memory was wiped. maybe if they didn't wipe his memory and he came back onto the show because he still loved piper and he wanted her back.

reece catlin

She didn't just do it for vanity she was also dying of cancer.

reece catlin

Cameron Bancroft was so hot. it was so strange seeing him play an evil character. he played good guy Joe on 90210 back in the day Donna's boyfriend.

reece catlin

RIP Anne Haney, she was amazing in everything I had seen her in and loved another Buffy/Angel/Charmed crossover actress with Young Gail (Julia Lee)

reece catlin

I like how in this episode, like in Animal Pragmatism (and again in future eps) there are always three "witches" gathered around magic. A reminder of the power of three <3

RiccardoEva

Not only did Roxy and Trevor name one son Wyatt, they named his twin Drew!

Nicki Clerebout

Blessed Be!!!!

Kimber Dunn

Wasn’t aunt Gail in Mrs Doubtfire? The lady that checked on Robin Williams’s apartment?

Dianna Story

Please do we wish them well!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Brianna Donelon

Everyone said it at Leo and Piper's wedding then again at Wyatt's wiccaning they all said it.

Stephanie Barrett

And she played the assistant to Jim carrys character in liar liar

Stephen Cornwell

Absolutely LOVE the idea of having a writer on the podcast!!

Ruby Neville

💯 percent

Ruby Neville

One of the key themes of this episode that I think everyone missed is 'fear of death'. Aunt Gail was not just vain for vanity's sake, she was ill and not ready to die. Fear of death and what happens to you after you die is a genuine phobia and I don't think that was appreciated here. Aunt Gail is so afraid of death that she is willing to sacrifice her soul for youth. It is not made clear what that actually means, but it is a big repercussion for a chance to start over. It does not even begin to excuse what she did but it puts a heavier perspective on the episode and makes it more interesting following on nicely from the last episode which focused on suicide. Great podcast as always x

Vivien Kintu

I love the hat.... take my money!!!

Becky Beckstrom

Always!!

Becky Beckstrom

Buffalo Bill was inspired by a real serial killer

Becky Beckstrom

Defo Power of 3 on the back of the hat! Xx

Tasha Dale

I feel like this was one of those "filler" episodes. This is like a 6/10 for me. Not terrible, but also not too interesting. The most important thing in this episode is learning about grams' coven. Besides that, it's a take it or leave it episode.

Liz

For one…. Ain’t Gail I think was just a friend of grams not an actual family member. Not a real aunt. Not excusing her behavior, but she was very desperate, and I don’t think she herself was evil which is why they don’t portray her as evil. She was dying, and she was scared, she knows about supernatural options and made the wrong decision. I also don’t care for this episode, but that’s my take.

Jenn Sylvester

BLESSED BE! On the hat!

Ana Nguyen

TEAM LEO!

Ana Nguyen

Aunt Gail is in many movies but the one I remember her in very clearly is Mrs. Doubtfire and Liar Liar!

Ana Nguyen

Like the idea of the A and B storyline. If you're going by the A storyline it was never one of my favorites, but the B storyline made up for that and made it watchable and better. Hated to see Dan go like that but we all know it's really leo 😉.

Bonnie Tyson

I agree, but maybe they thought that'd be too on the nose.

Casie Jean

I thought they should have done Chris since that was actually his character but army wives probably thought Wyatt would be a more recognizable tie in

Stephanie Barrett

Throwing in my points for ‘we wish them well’ 🤣

Nikki

Yeah, you really should have a writer in every episode... bestest idea! <3

marrano

For the hat my vote is blessed be! Just fits so nice!

Jacqueline price

I liked how the girls defeated Creto in the end. It proved they could survive without their powers. Very smart. I did think it was weird that they didn’t c Gale die but never went back to c what happened to her after defeating the demon.

Rula Jaber

Well Dr Fuller, what is strange for me is that Grans would talk about the girls, powers & book of shadows to someone who isn't even her flesh and blood... "Aunt" Gail was an adopted aunt, not Gran's real sista. And we know our thing about sista with this show. I loved the idea of the human quilt, made me think at the time at a book we were studying at school "La peau de chagrin", don't ask me why, it sticked with me (that is a Balzac book and I usually hate them). But the prop was not correct, too much like leather, not enough fleshy for me. So many little things, adding for maybe a 6 for me, not enough coordinated between the prop, the storylines, and why would Piper let Dane kiss her so long after she TOLD Leo he was her One ? (yeah I know I'm a Minion of the French contingent so I m maybe a bit biased on this). I love it when U find us Easter eggs such as the stunt coord being on the show. That is so cool. That is one part of why I love the podcast. It makes me feel like I was with you all in the show, likely an unknown PA, showing up with coffees and treats, but living the real thing. <3 wuv U guys, will see U at P3 in Paris (HMC pleeasssse, I'll bribe U with wine and homemade pastries, come, I'll get enough for the boys too)

Milor Echasse

Stop that, I'm trying to get our Mother of All to come to P3 in Paris next year. Obviously we french people will love HMC as long as we ll love our Leo :D

Milor Echasse

I wish I knew, it makes me a little bit unsane

Milor Echasse

so am I, so am I, can't stop checking my friend google everyday in case of I missed the opening :D

Milor Echasse

The Dantes peak with Pierce Brosnan ? Nope, she is not.

Milor Echasse

Damn, so many innuendos I am NOT able to get. It makes me grrrr.

Milor Echasse

that is why I hate translations... In french, they changed the title to "3 witches without charm", no help from the title for us frenchies :/

Milor Echasse

yeah, even if Gail was able to rip the page, how did it get out of the Manor ? And for sure, Gram's wouldn't tell anyone about the book nor the girls. She didn't event tell them about their powers Oo

Milor Echasse

Also love the merch! My vote is for Blessed Be 💖

Misty B

Soo since you guys dropped the bomb of Greg Vaughan coming back during season 8 I immediately thought... he was gonna come in as fireman Greg's spot! Temp nookie during fireman Greg's season 6 appearance when Leo's being an Elder, annd a come back in season 8 while Leo was in deep freeze. Temptation! I don't know... just a thought. Soooo curious what the actual story is tho! #teamleo

Misty B

Love “Blessed Be” on the back of the hat!

Analis rivera

Haha me too. I literally yelled at the tv when they announced the names of the twins. Geez I who threw those names in as suggestions?

Erin Marie

I'ma need Witch Gang merch now. Please and thank you.

Robyn Reed

I personally love this episode myself. This is one of the few episodes that I rated over an 8. Mainly because I love HMC's performance and could empathize. But I also loved that they got out of the manor for a change lol

Ariadne Bene

I think definitely a plot hole. I do enjoy the it's power grows as the girls does though. Because it was able to be touched by the warlock in that one episode, but just not taken out of the house.

Felisha Cliff

I hate to admit that I also never made the connection, even after over a decade of being a fan of the show 😅🙈 mind was blown haha

Ali

That's a great point about Grams not telling anyone about the girls. I think that's definitely one of those unfortunate little plot holes. And for the book thing, I always assumed it was bc the book grew in power alongside the girls so it wasn't 'powerful' enough yet to protect itself. That's just a theory tho lol

Ali

My thought on the whole evil not touching the book thing, is that since it was connected to the sisters, as they grew in power, so did the book, ie eventually protecting itself from evil touching it. And the episode with the sword BK is talking about is from early s4 :) I love HTMAQOOA. Something about it being personal with their aunt, plus the location shoots, I always loved this episode. also Drew being buddies with Greg is so awesome 😂

Ali

I loved that they named one of the twins Wyat in Army wives. I thought. Drew can make sure he does not turn evil.

Hanne Tranberg

Sisters do to hold hands Holly. Have you seen the show 😉😂

KD Rowley

Did something happen between them? Gimmie the tea lol.

Melanie Cabrera

So ready to hand over my money 🙈😂

Laura Shergold

I wondered that too!

Anjee Campbell

Uh, yes to “we wish them well” pls 😂😂

Jhack

It’s not available yet- they’re still ‘working on it’. I’m just commenting on the ‘sneak peeks’ that Drew gave us. Hoodie last week & mug & hat this week. So excited! 😁

Jacqui Bennett

First of all, rewatching as an adult, I really agree with HMC when it comes to Dan and Leo. The first few seasons were great for Piper and Leo but then, Leo makes Piper go to hell and back with his choices. So HMC, if France won’t let you in, you can go a little bit to the south east. Malta will gladly take you in. Secondly. I give the ep a 7, mostly because the B storyline. The A storyline line was harsh. Aunt Gayle was willing to sacrifice the strongest witches’ powers… She didn’t think things through. She didn’t see the good they already did and are going to so that no other witches would be able to. Thirdly, I am going to try to join the Watch Party but it’s at midnight for me so it’s gonna be hard, but for you guys, I’m gonna try. Love you, guys 😘

Roanne Grech

I love Army Wives too, and I always thought the naming of the twins had to be an Easter Egg (the other boy was Drew😉) Too funny!

Casie Jean

Some witches are sole practitioners.

Rebecca Jacqueline

Err, where is the merch available? I can’t find a link.

Rebecca Jacqueline

My theory is that Dan coming back in season 8 was going to serve the same function as the return of Fireman Greg who came back while Leo was gone. It probably was going to be a little more drawn out over a few episodes. Also, Anne Haney (Gail) was in Liar Liar - she was the Secretary and the Social Worker in Mrs. Doubtfire. Oh and Driving Miss Daisy. Sadly, she passed away in mid-2001.

Rebecca Jacqueline

Who's he who shall not be named? Lol. Brad Kern?

Melanie Cabrera

I agreed with so much of what you guys said about this ep in my copious notes haha! I rated it a 7.5 - not the best but certainly still a great watch. (Particularly compared to what passes as tv entertainment these days!) LOVING THE MERCH! ALL THE MERCH! YAY FOR THE COLOUR CHANGE MUG!! Also love the hat & vote for ‘We Wish Them Well…..’ 😉

Jacqui Bennett

Now I just need to know if there’s something witty or a face or…so many genius ideas 🙈😂

Laura Shergold

I did wonder if that’s what I was spotting…!

Laura Shergold

COLOUR CHANGE MUG LAURA!! MY COLOUR CHANGE MUG!!!! 😁😁😁

Jacqui Bennett

I went straight to ‘he who shall not be named’ as being her ex David Donoho who was a grip on the show & so would’ve been able to talk to staff about Holly’s feelings about wanting a more normal life after her more wayward upbringing. But that could just be me & my feelings about my ex lol!

Jacqui Bennett

I think it is more that he was a sexual harasser lol

Petty

Right, there were many times that it was said to them but they never said it back. It always made me wonder why

Anjee Campbell

They only said it at weddings and wiccanings lol

James Ruggiero

I was wondering the same - i assumed the writer / producer Brad Kern because Shannen fell out with him and it’s known he favoured Alyssa

Emilie

Out of curiosity, who is Holly referring to when she says “he who shall not be named” … I’m assuming Brad Kern?

Emilie

Yes to this, but also… Piper was a born witch but had no recollection of being one because the girl’s powers were bound early on. I think Piper’s struggle for normalcy is more about longing for a life she had but suddenly lost in her early 20’s when Grams died. Also, she is the most like Patty and was always the heart-center of the family - in all its non-traditional-ness - her whole life. She’s tough but wears her heart on her sleeve and in doing so, has always longed for a romanticized version of “normal”…a normal life and a normal family.

James Ruggiero

Love you guys. Power of three ,blessed be. Would be my favorite. I am looking forward to more merch. I look forward to watching you weekly like i did for when we actually had to wait every week for a new episode of Charmed. You guys are awesome looking forward to the next convention

Annie O’Malley

I’m with Drew and BK - some good parts but overall it feels ‘eh’. I do really like the way we see Piper struggle with wanting a normal life and not really being bothered about getting her powers back. #poordan - given the cheek twice and then he basically knows what’s happening without her needing to say the words at the end. He’s kind of perfect, he’s just not Leo! I’d love to hear from a writer’s perspective like BK was mentioning. That’s be really interesting! The mug(s?) and hat look cool! I love watching you all interact and the way Holly teases Drew - about both pickleball and the lying face 😂

Laura Shergold

All these years and I NEVER made the connection that they used the skin of the dead bodies…I assumed…it was random leather…ew…this one is definitely the creepiest Charmed episode then ew

Nikki

Sorry Drew, I don't think Brian was talking about a painted world as he was never in that castle. Maybe he talked about A knight to remember from season 4 as he was in that castle and actually had a fight if I remember correctly? Still a lot of episodes to go, but It is fun to know what episodes or things someone is talking about so I get the feeling nonetheless.

Saya Hinto

This is for Drew, re Born v’s Choice. Piper being born a witch and isn’t in a situation where she chooses to practise and be a witch. It is like being born into an organised religion. I was born into a Mormon family and it wasn’t my choice and when I grew up and chose not to be part of it. My mum though, she chose that for herself so she was very calm and content in that life choice whereas I rebelled against it all my life because I didn’t feel like I was given a choice so I completely understand how Piper feels wanting to have a normal life because it’s also how I felt growing up.

Jules Hart

Love that episode! Thanks for all the laughs! Keep it up folks!! Btw totally agreed on having a writer in! That’s shall be so interesting!!!

Margaux T.

It should say the power of three on the hat. The girls never actually said Blessed Be, maybe one time!

Anjee Campbell

Everyone mentioned Mrs. Doubtfire but I also loved Anne Haney's character in Liar Liar with Jim Carrey. She was so funny! This ep is ok for me. Not one of my faves but not the worst. The Dan breakup was perfect.

Allie L

The episode with the sword is when Paige goes to her past life.. as the evil queen..

Chelsee Ireland

Isnt Gail from Dantes peak as well?

Chelsee Ireland

Anne Haney from Mrs Doubtfire

Charlotte

I re-watch Charmed, probably more than I should.. This is an episode I will skip over due to the story line. I think it is a bit too creepy for me, though I do love the girls and their personal storylines. Watching Anne Haney was cool...seeing how she passed not long after this. I , too, would love to hear from the writers and their perspective/stories of what went on.

Erika M. Buck

Who is he who shall not be named that Holly mentioned? I’m so confused did I miss something?

Rachel Krawsek

The Charmed Companion volume 1 Aaron Spelling cites this ep as one that did not work. I think that's a bit too severe but there are some flaws in the ep. I don't quite understand folk querying why Grams had a coven. We see her with other witches in another later ep and pretty much in a coven there. Plus all witches have covens and Grams is a leader.

Bernard Duff

Drew just so you know, the lady that played Aunt Gail, she's Anne Haney. I remember her as Mrs. Sellner on Mrs. Doubfire

J'Ardoin Grant

Shout out to Anne Haney for her appearance on the show… MAY SHE REST IN PEACE!! 💕💕

Teuila Auvaa

Definitely one of my favorite eps, season 2 is so underrated so many gems

Kevin Jenkins

I enjoyed this episode. The idea of having the sisters learn about Grams' past coven added to the charmed mythology I feel. Piper wanting to give up being a witch added to the drama of the episode, and then to end it with the emotional breakup with Dan... A great episode I give a rating of 8 to. Blessings to all. Continued well wishes for Jamen, and Shannen.

Steven Maggiolino

Love the cup. I love how the girls were able to use their powers well Pure’s power against the demon. I would love to see Blessed be on a hat.

Brianna Roberts

You three brighten my day!! And yes, 'we wish them well' for us OGs!!

Kate

I did find that translation pretty strange... until I saw your review of the episode & realised how oblivious I am 😅🙈

Elisa Brogren

Coming soon... :)

Drew Fuller

SKIN FABRIC!!!!

Drew Fuller

This is Drew... I do not love that

Drew Fuller

This was a real mixed bag episode. A selfish relative willing to go to any means necessary including abuse of a corpse and betraying trust with her own family just so she and her friends could live and be young. Vanity is truly a curse. Then, the heartbreak for Dan and Piper's characters when the truth becomes too apparent to ignore that Piper made her choice before he presented the earrings - but he seemed to kind of know when he called on the phone while away. Everyone played their parts brilliantly but as the panel suggests it's rather unfocused in script and editing - a hodge-podge stew. I think it could have been much better.

Gloria Strait of Juan de Fuca

I love HMC's sigh whenever Drew says, "I have a question". LMAO

Elisha Forrest

Love that charmed cup.

Victoria O’Brien

Lol!

Drew Fuller

I was like EXPLAIN HOW 3 ARTHRITIC LOW LEVEL WITCHES dug up dead bodies 😂. And not get caught. I am a long time watcher and that's always bugged me.

Felisha Cliff

Great show! Love watching these HOH episodes. Also, agree with @Felisha....how did they dig up so many bodies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🤣🤣

Robby Roby

I wish I could say that Drew was the only one who didn't realise the quilt was made out of skin from corpses. Although I should probably have known when the Danish subtitles translated "quilt" to "skin fabric" 🙈

Elisa Brogren

I made so many notes watching this before the podcast. 1. I don't think Grams would tell a friend that the girls were the charmed ones. And I don't think she would have a coven, after being betrayed by her friend in the 70s episode I don't think she would let someone be that close to her magical life or the girls. 2. Why didn't the book protect itself from Gail ripping a page out? 3. How did 3 old ladies dig up numerous bodies 😂 Overall I enjoyed this episode because we get to see the beginning of the Piper desperately wanting a normal life and beginning with Leo. I enjoyed Dan but Leo will always be for Piper ❤️ Drew 😂 you just getting it was made out of corpses killed me.
