devastation of her husband and sisters. While hovering between life and death,
the eldest siter encounters a face from the past; Cole Turner.

Why it's Shocking: The seven year witch was charmed's 150th episode, and 
what better way to celebrate this milestone than to bring back one of the show's
most popular ever characters, Cole Turner (played by the gorgeous Julian McMahon)?
His return was the best kind of shock!

Phoebe has a premonition of him lying dead at the Manor. She tells Prue who 
warns andy to stay away. But when the demon Rodriquez visits the sisters 
intent on killing them, Andy rushes to the rescue. A brief battle ensues and 
Andy is hit by an energy ball that kills hum instantly. Andy's spirit visits Prue 
and tells her  not to turn back time. "This is my destiny," he simply says.
 

Why it's Shocking: An exteremely popular character, it seemed as if Andy and 
Prue had a beautiful future together on the show, but it was not ment to be. His
death in the season one finale proved that no one was safe at the hands of the 
charmed writers!

Piper's future son and Wyatt's younger brother.

Gotta love those Charmed writers!!

Determined not to let him die, Piper negotiates a deal with The Angel in which Leo is cryogenically frozen instead... despite the fact it breaks her heart.

 Why it's Shocking: A regular since season one, Leo's departure left charmed fans unsure how the series finale would pan out.Rumor hs it that even the famous director Quentin Tarantino was in tears when Leo and Piper bade farewell to one another at the end. Powerful stuff.

6. Gideon Murders future Chris

Episode: 'Its a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Part 2
Season Six, Episode 22

dd16.jpg image by caroline_052The Lowdown:  Cris and leo join forces to prevent Gideon and Barbas from destroying Wyatt for " the greater good". Unfortunately, Chris gets killed in the crossfire when Gideon stabs him in the stomach.

Why it's Shocking:  One of the show'a most popular characters, Chris' death is a real wrench to the gut, not least because he died so heroically. Hands up who wasn't in tears when Piper gives birth to Chris at the end of the episode and Paige says, "Looks like we didn't lose him after all." We thought so....

Enlisting the help of Cole, Phoebe heads to the place she foresaw the attack takeing place, and sure enough, the mysterious girl is there. Seconds later, Shax arrives, but instead of becoming his latest victim, the girl manages to orb herself out of danger. The pair do a littler digging and discover the girl is actually Phoebe and Piper's half-sister, Paige. And so the Power of Three is reborn!

Why it's Shocking: With Prue Dead, many fans woundered how charmed could continue, with the power of three destroyed. Thankfully the writers had an ace up their sleeve in the form of Rose McGowan. Her arrival not only restored the Power of Three it gave the show a much-needed shake up, resulting in five more glorious seasons.

4. Phoebe finds out Cole is Belthazor

Episode: ''Sleuthing With the Enemy,
Season Three, Episode 8

057.jpg image by caroline_052The Lowdown: When Leo struggles to heal an injured Cole, he realizes there is something strange about the handsome district attorney. He shares his concerns with Phoebe who refuses to believe that her beloved is actually the evil demon Belthazor. However, it's not long before she witnessess Cole's darker side for herself.

Why it's Shocking:  Although fans were aware of Cole's demonic alter ego since the first episode of season three, it's still fun to watch the sisters catch on, especially the traumatized Phoebe. Her decision not to vanquish him is almost as shocking as the revelation that Cole is Belthazor, not least because she lies to her sisters in the process!
