Can I just say I am SOOOO excited about this interview?!?! I loved Holly on Charmed. I’m really excited to see what she has to say! Thank you, Holly, for doing this!

- MB on July 7th, 2008

I am soooo excited that Holly will be on TV again! I’ve missed her since Charmed ended. And it’s awesome that she agreed to an interview!! One question I have is, will this show require all the hours of work that Charmed did? Or is it more flexible and will it allow her to still be able to spend lots of time with her family?

- Laura on July 7th, 2008

Yay I’m so excited that CBB is going to interview Holly. She was my favorite actress on Charmed. My question is:

“Do you still keep in touch with your Charmed co-stars?”

- Kaley on July 7th, 2008

Oh my goodness. She was my favorite on charmed and I’m now so excited for this. Thanks Holly! I actually have three questions. 1. Do you miss being on the Charmed show and around the cast and crew? 2. Was Riley and planned pregnancy or a surprise and were you indeed pregnant with him at the end of season 8? 3. Do you plan to keep your career going or slow down because you have a family now? Thanks..I hope at least one of them is answered!:)

- elizabeth on July 7th, 2008

I love Holly!! Such a beautiful little boy!!

“Do you think since it’s become a popular trend to turn good tv shows into Movies that Charmed will follow that trend? Would you do it?”

I’d love to see a Charmed movie! eeeekkk!! Would be lovely…on tv or in the theaters…whatever they do i’d watch it.

- ERICKA on July 7th, 2008

Nice!!

I’d like to know if she and David are planning on having more kids and I’d like for her to talk about her kids’ personnalities and what they like and everything.

Love You Holly!!
So good on Charmed and all the other movies (well those that I saw with you starring in)!

- stéph on July 7th, 2008

I have a question!

How did you pick your sons first and middle names ?

- Rayan on July 7th, 2008

Awww that’s awesome!! I’d like Holly’s perspectives on motherhood, and the future ambitions she has for her sons and any future kids.

- J.J. on July 7th, 2008

I would like to know, what was your favorite charmed epsiode, and do you still keep in touch with rose mcgowan or alyssa milano. Also are you happy with 2 kids, or plan on more children in the future. And thanks for taking our questions, very sweet of you and your boys are so cute.

- brooke on July 7th, 2008

I’d love to know how Holly balances life as a mother, wife, and actress? and how she finds the time to devote to each of them?

- Nina on July 7th, 2008

First off, yay!! Holly, you were great in Charmed and I’m so happy that you are doing this question session with CBB. My question to you is “what’s your favorite thing to do with your sons?”

- Sara on July 8th, 2008

Hi Holly,
My name is C.J. Faria. I met you on the set of Charmed in 2000 as part of my “Make A Wish.” I gave you my first horse riding trophy. I was wondering if you still had the Trophy and if you still find time to ride now that you are a busy mom of two active boys? Congrats to you once again. I couldn’t be happier or prouder.

~CJ Faria

- C.J. Faria on July 8th, 2008

I’m dito’ing the naming questions: how did you (and David ) pick their names?
BTW; Riley looks so gorgeous!

- Isolde on July 8th, 2008

OMG that picture of riley is so cute, he looks very different than finley IMO.
so excited that holly is gonna do an interview, i used to love her on charmed!!

- Philippa on July 8th, 2008

I really love her sons’ middle names. They’re quite traditional – I was wondering whether they’re family names or if she just liked them also.

- Laura on July 8th, 2008

amazing!!!

i would love to ask: Are you consdering more children, and if so, what would you like next? Another boy, or a girl to balance it out?

Thanks again, Holly that is so wonderful to do this.

- jenni on July 8th, 2008

I love Holy Marie Combs! I am a huge fan of charmed and I would like to say to Holly that a charmed movie would be the best because we all want it. I would like to ask what was your favorite season on charmed and could you tell me something really funny that happened on the set??

Love ya, Niki from Greece…

- Niki on July 8th, 2008

This is the first interview you guys are doing that I can’t wait!! We just finished watching the last season of Charmed and I loved Holly! I’d actually like to name my daughet Piper after her chatacter:-)

Alos, Finley (Finn) and Riley are my fave male names.

Question: I’d love Holly to tell us a bit about her pregnancy and birth experience and whether they would like to have more children. Thanx!

- Sanja on July 8th, 2008

@ Sanja, same here. ever since i watched charmed, piper’s been my #1 choice for a girl and finley for a boy…

- Philippa on July 8th, 2008

1st I just want to say that Holly I think you are truly an amaze person and such a talented actress! I soooo miss Charmed =(

Blessed Be!

I myself have a 2 year old boy and my question is on potty training… how did you do it is there any tips that you can share?

I am also wondering if your little guys have anything that they still want or need such as the bottle at night only or the paci. I cant seem to break my son from the bottle just at night though.

Hugs
Kim

- Kimberly on July 8th, 2008

I can’t wait for the interview, I am a big fan of Holly!

I would like to ask if she misses Charmed and if so, would she have liked it go longer if it could have, perhaps for another season, or did she and the others need a change or feel it was getting old and was she pleased with the way she ended? Does she still keep in touch with Alyssa & Rose frequently?

Also, what was her favorite acting experience?

Also, did she get any advice from any other stars on parenting? or what would be her ultimate advice?

- Audrey on July 8th, 2008

Oh I also wanted to add I agree with other readers, myself and my best friend are fighting over the names Piper, Phoebe and Paige, and have agreed that whoever has the daughter first gets first pic, lol!

- Audrey on July 8th, 2008

I can’t wait to read the interview! Holly’s sons are so beautiful. I can’t believe how big Riley is now.
It’s so sweet of her to share pictures of her little boy with us.

Here are my questions for Holly;

1. What attracted you to role of Jane on ‘Mistresses’?
2. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
3. How would you feel if Finley and Riley wanted to follow your footsteps and become actors?

Lots of hugs n kisses from London x

- Viviana on July 8th, 2008

I have a question.

When you where on Charmed and waiting in between takes what was your favorite thing to do?

- Rob Madden on July 8th, 2008

I mean, she’s my favorite actress, she so cute, so beautiful… So perfect!

- Thaís Mychelle on July 8th, 2008

Hello Holly !! <33
I’ve read this Story and i want to ask you if thats right ??

Charmed Spin Off Has Been Written (by Holly Marie Combs)!

By JOHN WILEN, AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — It seems after nearly three years in the dark, and two years on the drawing board, and one year of constant rumor all over Charmed message boards, a spin off for the nearly failed show has been written.

On May 2, 2008, television networks, ABC and FOX were given the written pilot which was written by Charmed alumni, Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper Halliwell.

The CW, television network has rejected the spin-off twice, and will no longer consider the possiblity of the show.

“We already have a show similiar to what Mrs. Combs has written, and it’s called Supernatural.” Stated Dawn Ostroff, CW President.

Supernatural debuted in 2005, on the CW Network, and currently one of their more popular shows.

No details have been released on Combs’ pilot of the new Charmed Spinoff, but it seems ABC and FOX have both read the scripts and are in talks with her and her team.

It is possible that the show will air this fall around Halloween.

Charmed, 1998-2006, was a supernatural show about three sister witches and their batles with evil. It is currently running in syndication on TNT.

Associated Press Writer Helen McDuff in West Hollywood, California, contributed to this report.

Haris (from Germany) !!

You’re the Best !!!

- Haris on July 8th, 2008

Hi Holly….Glad to hear you will be back on tv!! I am pregnant with my 2nd child (hopefully a girl) and I will be naming her Piper after your character..and people always ask where I found such a different name–so Thanks for that! My question is simple yet pressing!….Will there be a Charmed movie?–please say yes..

- Summer on July 8th, 2008

I’m so exited about the interview !!
Yeah, I’m so glad Holly is back on TV!
She really is my favorite actress. She’s a good actress and she is looking good. She’s just SO PERFECT !! Really like her!
And if Holly maybe read this. I just want to say this: Holly’ you’re a very good actress. I really like the movies with you in it. Especially I like Charmed. You’re just the most beautiful and best actress in the world. I can’t wait to see you on Tv!

NOTE: I’m from The Netherlands, but I’m a huge fan of you. I’m not very good in English. So I’m very sorry for the broken english…

- Marjolein on July 8th, 2008

My first question is would she ever be willing to do a “Charmed” movie or reunion show? And secondly, even though this had already been asked, if her and her husband are thinking of any more children. I can’t wait for this interview!

- Megan on July 8th, 2008

What do you think has been your biggest achivement in your life so far and why?

- David on July 8th, 2008

I have a question.

What keeps you and your children so grounded?

- katie Hoffman on July 8th, 2008

I have been a huge fan since seeing Dr Giggles, and was so excited to see Holly in Charmed which I am currenly rewatching from season one…so far mid season five!

My question for Holly: I ask this with all the current media coverage on young kids having children and also being a mother myself at 17. How would you react if your sons had a child at the same age your mom had you? Would you choose to help them out or make them do it on their own to learn a lifes lesson?

- tammy l on July 8th, 2008

hi.

Q: Are you excited to be working with Brooke Burns on Mistresses & what’s your character like on the show?

thank you so very much

- holly on July 8th, 2008

Thank you for 8 great years of Charmed. Is there a chance of a Charmed Movie or spinoff with appearances from you?

- Robert on July 8th, 2008

Hi Holly!
I’m Kendall. I’m 13, and you probably hear this a lot, but I’m your biggest fan! I was so excited to finaly see Riley. He’s adoable! I see a lot of you in him. Well, I guess I’m supposed to ask you a question now, so here it goes! I was just wondering, well two things. Uhm first, about your new show, Mistresses. Are you filming the pilot and stuff yet? And second, I was wondering if I could some how have your autograph. That would just complete me. Well, meeting you would, but that would be kinda hard, wouldn’t it? Well, I can’t wait to hear back from you Holly! Also, I made you a few things. They’re wallpapers. I hope you like them! Thank you so much for this oppotunity to finaly talk to you! Good luck with your new show, and can’t wait to see you on TV again!

Thanks so much Holly,

Kendall Perry
(ps, just in case theres hope for me, 734-674-7533)

- Kendall on July 8th, 2008

You are a special actress, we have missed you.Good luck on the pilot. We would love to see a Charmed Movie either for tv or big screen.Sex and the city and the xfiles made it to the big screen. What do you think about a Charmed Movie ?

- Julie on July 8th, 2008

Holly we love you and have missed Charmed. ARe you interested in creating/producing a Charmed spinoff show with appearances from the Charmed Ones? Law and Order has like 50 spinoff shows, Charmed is certainly deserving.

- Adam on July 8th, 2008

Hi Holly!
My name is Yannel and im a HUGE fan. I love to watch you on Charmed. Im so excited to see your interview and hear about how your life has been and about your boys. Both your sons are adorable and look so much like you.

My question is…
Do you know if the creaters of Charmed have thought of or planning on making a Charmed movie any time soon?

Cuze I would love to see the whole cast together again. Your one of my favorate actresses. I watch Charmed twice a day on TNT and i love it. Ive been watching the show for about 2 or 3 years and im adicted to it. Your my favorite charmed one on the show and i love you. Your great. I Love you Holly… so much!

- Yannel on July 8th, 2008

Hey Holly, I have been a big fan of yours ever scince the first airing of Charmed. My question was do you still keep in contact with your co-stars of Charmed and if so then who?
-Wesley

- Wesley on July 8th, 2008

Hi Holly,I’m your fan.What you have to say for Shannen,Rose and Alyssa?
I love they.I don’t know speak english very well,I don’t know nothing.But a try…

Love You and your kids

- Ana Luisa on July 8th, 2008

Riley reminds me more and more of David with the newer photos of him.

But, as for questions, mine would be this:

Aside from your new pilot you’re currently working on, and I’m excited about, what have you been up to since “Charmed” has ended? And speaking of “Charmed”, were you happy with the series finale, or do you wish it had continued on, possibly as a spin-off series featuring the adult characters of Chris and Wyatt (with Wes Ramsey and Drew Fuller as the leads)?

Of course, I’ve watched Holly since Picket Fences and love anything she’s in.

- FC on July 8th, 2008

1)Ive been a fan since Picket Fences! What did you think of the crazy PF storylines?

2) Are you still frieds w Shannen? I know she convinced you/took you to the Charmed audition.

2) Do you still have all your animals now that you have 2 sons?

3) Since your mom had you @ 17, how/what was your reaction to Jamie L Spears?

- think people think! on July 8th, 2008

Hey, Holly. How are you?
I am a huge fan of you, an also I love Charmed, and I already watched all the episodes. I think that you, Rose, Alyssa and Shannen are incredibles, really. The Power of Three it’s really amazin’, I just love it. I wish for more one, or two, or might ten seasons, because I really love it!!! I am sorry about my english, but I’m brazilian, and I don’t know a lot, anyway… I just wanna say that you ROCK, and you are such funny! I LOVE your work. Congratulations. I really love your ”Okay – douky”, it’s amazing! And your ”what the hell are you doing?” or something like that! I laugh a LOT with your expressions. Oh, and Riley is really cute. I love his pictures! Anyway, I have some questions for you, that if you don’t wanna awnser, that’s okay, ‘cuz it’s a little personal, and this stuffs.

We, fans, really missed you on the TV. Are you gonna do, for sure, some any other work? ‘Cuz Charmed was amazing, and we wanted more!

And i’m sorry asking you this, but are you still making contact with Alyssa, or Rose or even Shannen?

Thank you a lot, I love you!

Maryane, Brazil.

- Maryane on July 8th, 2008

Over 59,700 Fan made Charmed video’s on YouTube with more video’s added everyday. Will you give your Fans their dream with a Charmed movie ?

- Susan on July 8th, 2008

Thank you for Charmed. The fans really wanted closure with the girls seeing Prue again. Any plans to give the Holly Marie Combs/Charmed fans the closure they need ?

- JR on July 8th, 2008

I have a question:
Does Holly have any favorite makeup items? & does she have a favorite type of bag or shoe of the ‘moment’ that she loves?

I’m asking these questions because I loved her style in Charmed and want to know what her style is like off-set…

- Emma on July 9th, 2008

I LOVE HOLLY!

I want to know if she likes Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama for pres.?

- Sarah on July 9th, 2008

Hi, Holly!

I hope you and your family are well.

As you’ve been acting for a number of years now, I was wondering: do you think that the business has changed somewhat since you first started out and is this a good or bad thing?

Becky

- Becky on July 9th, 2008

What an adorable photo of Riley. He looks so cute on the big motorbike. Beautiful little dude.

I think it’s very lovely of Holly to do this and I am sure it is very much appreciated.

- saul6charmed on July 9th, 2008

~Some of my questions may be more appropriate to Brad Kern, but since Charmed magazine is no more I will try my luck here. I would greatly appreciate any info you could provide (not just who’s idea):

1. Who came up with the idea to have Janice Dickinson at Paige’s funeral?
2. Who’s idea had Joe Millionaire as a dog (when Paige started temping)?
3. Who came up with Wyatt orbing a cake into an Elder’s face?- I could not stop laughing (still do).
4. Any chance we will ever see the extra 20 min. of Alyssa/ Season 2/ Episode 2? Brad Kern said this episode where she is sent to the future to be burned was edited for time eliminating 20 amazing minutes of Alyssa accepting her punishment.
5. Any chance of Charmed bloopers/ gag reels?
6. I’ve always wondered how Rose was chosen as the new sister. She obviously was the right choice.
*7. Can you provide an address for fanmail (regular mail and email)?
8. Do you have a Myspace page? Several claim to be you, but it is hard to find accurate info regarding celebrities on the internet.

Thank you for any info you could provide. As much as I miss Charmed, I’m glad to know your kids are your top priority. It makes me respect you even more. They are both adorable!

- M. Hunt. on July 9th, 2008

we all love charmed, but what are your favourite shows Holly? What do you and your kids love to watch?

- jennifer on July 9th, 2008

~How did you do your gardening and take care of your horses, dogs, and other animals during Charmed? Do you have people who take care of them while you work? In other words, how do you do it all?
~Are you still able to read all your fan mail?
~What books on Wicca did you read for Charmed research?
~Any idea how/ where to purchase one of the rare copies of the Book of Shadows and the 2 Charmed board games?
~I won a wardrobe from Charmed magazine #14. It says the 2 belts were worn by you/Piper but I haven’t been able to find any episodes or photos that show you with them on. Any chance you remember if you did? I’ve only been able to find the brown/ blue one on Shannen in Primrose Empath.
~How do you have so many friendships with women (beautiful women) without the jealousy that usually occurs?
~Do you think a Charmed video game is possible?
~Does Rose have horses too?
~Do you have trouble with wildfires getting close to your home and animals?
~What are your thoughts on Charmed magazine saying goodbye?
~Any thoughts on Charmed books ending?
~Can you provide any details on the Charmed spinoff you have written?
~Do you know how to tell if a Charmed script sold on ebay is authentic? I would love to see how you and your co-producers changed about 6 pages of the original script!
~Do you believe in magic after 8 years of Charmed?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer some of these questions (even if they are not mine). I thought I would have time to send my questions to Charmed magazine in the future but unfortunately the next issue is the last. I’m very grateful to have this chance to ask them.
Aside from talent, I believe Charmed was so successful because of the quality people who created it. Thank you so much for 8 great years of Charmed!

- M.H. on July 9th, 2008

I’m a big fan of Holly!! She was awesome in Charmed and I want to ask so much but I’m
just gonna ask one.

My question:
I wanted to know the reactions of Shannen, Alyssa, Rose, other people you worked with on Charmed when they first saw Finly and Riley?

They both look realy cute
bye,
Glenn

- Glenn on July 9th, 2008

Hi

I have a couple of questions for Holly Marie Combs. So here they are:
1.Do you miss working on Charmed?

2.Do you still stay in contact with any of your co-workers from Charmed?

3. Do you think that there will ever be a Charmed movie?

4. I heard you sing in an episode of Picket Fences. Will you EVER sing again?

- Angela on July 9th, 2008

My question is:

How did it feel going from working on a show like Charmed that was such a huge hit to having lots of free time to spend with her children? Was is a huge adjustment or just something that was really easy to do?

I can’t wait to see the interview!

- Hannah on July 9th, 2008

Hello Holly,

Your children are absolutely precious. I think that you are a great actress!! Is it true that you are going to star in the series Mistresses? I hope so!!! I am a big fan of yours. I have all 8 seasons of Charmed on DVD along with season 1 of Picket Fences. I can’t wait to see you back on television.

- Christine on July 9th, 2008
