In the latest issue of Charmed Magazine, Brad Kern talks about a major storyline between Paige and Cole that never happened.
Were there any major storylines that you wanted to do that, for some reason, never made into the show? And if so, why didn't they come to pass?

Brad Says: One storyline we had wanted to do, in the beginning of the fifth year, involved Julian McMahon's character, Cole. Paige and Cole were going to start having feelings for each other. That was going to create sisterly strife, obviously, between Paige and Phoebe. What we wanted to play was what happens when sisters fall in love with one of the other sister's lovers? How does the sister that is falling for the other sister's lover feel about it? What does she do with those feelings? Does she suppress them? Does she act on them? What would Phoebe's reaction be? Would she talk to Piper about it? It was part of our constant effort to keep looking for internal conflict, things to play between the sisters. That's what the show, at its core, was always about. That was one storyline I found intriguing to play out. It was dicey and provocative and it started out in the mermaid episode . There's a scene, that's actually in the show, where Paige casts a spell to find out what Cole's true feelings are, to find out if he really, truly loves Phoebe. In the script he ended up kissing her because he felt so strongly for Phoebe, but when he kissed Paige she felt something and she reacted to that. That was supposed to be the beginning of that arc. It would have been very provocative, very chancy, I think, and pretty volatile. When I sent the pages down to the set it took all three girls less than a second to call me and say "No way are we playing that." So that was the biggest one that comes to mind. I understood; it was really risky, but we were heading towards our 100th episode and I wanted to play honest things that happen between sisters, and that felt like and honest thing to play. But there was no way the girls were going to let that happen.
