4. The story is still about sisters

At first, the chemistry wasn’t there between all the sisters, but then that was to be expected. Let’s start with the fact that all three had come from different shows and had to get used to each other behind the scenes.

A pilot is never perfect. The Charmed pilot was created for the network and not for us. The second episode was the first created for us and by that point, the actresses had time to gel more.

But also, let’s not forget that the sisters haven’t grown up together. Macy Vaughn is a half-sister, who was raised by her dad. She comes to town and meets her half-sisters in the pilot episode.

The other two had been raised together, but there’s clearly an age gap there, which would affect bonding even with just two of them. I say that from experience.

However, this is a story that is still about these three sisters and their bond. As it gets stronger, it seems their powers are getting stronger. They’re learning as they go and that’s the important thing.
