Charmed
- During the summer, between the shooting of two seasons of Charmed, Brian Krause takes back his electrician job. He says that it's a way for him to have a normal life.
- The shooting of Charmed is a really tough job for the actresses because of the schedule; a normal day for them is 6am to 7pm!!! So to have more time to sleep in the morning, Holly often goes to the studios wearing... her pyjamas! She prefers not to bother on getting dressed and put her make up on because once she gets there, every thing is to redo!
- The 3 actresses are really close to each other: "Last year, I (Holly is speaking) had to get an important operation and I was really scared. Fortunately, Shannen was with me every time I had to go to the doctor and she was holding my hand. Alyssa, she came to see me everyday for the 15 days where I was hospitalised. She even lied down in the bed beside me!"
- The production has 2 million $US per episode!!
- Alyssa Milano was actually not the original Phoebe Halliwell! Lori Rom was the first youngest.
- One angry mother at not-my-kids!.com said: (talking about Charmed) "I am absolutely dismayed that television would conspire to sneak devil worship into our house! Do I have to watch my TV all day so they don't beam themselves into my living room?"
- A local resident who is known for not liking the filming of Charmed in his nice Victorian neighbourhood, is so determined to make life difficult for the location crew that he's been known to bang pots and pans together to spoil their sound!
- Holly was the first one to be hired for Charmed. At first, she was supposed to be Phoebe and Shannen was supposed to be Piper. But they thought that it didn't seem to match, so they went to see the producers and asked them to switch.
- Did you know that before Brian Krause (Leo) auditioned to be Andy on Charmed? Well I guess the producers of Charmed wanted Brian to be a white-lighter instead!
- The Book Of Shadows ways 9 pounds and 8 ounces!
- Ever wondered how much Alyssa, Holly and Rose get for each episode? Alyssa gets $80.000 (89.000 € ) for each episode that is like 1.76 million $ for each season! Holly gets $60.000 (67.000 €) for each episode that is like $1.32 million for each season. Rose I'm not sure of right about now. No wonder that Alyssa bought a new house with a pool inside, Jacuzzi...
- The band Snake River Conspiracy plays a few songs from their album Sonic Jihad onstage at P3 in the Halloween episode "All Halliwell's Eve". Ironically one of the songs the band covers on Sonic Jihad is The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?", which is covered by Love Spit Love as the theme used in the opening credits.
