The Charmed ones: Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs and Rose McGowan
The Charmed ones have officially turned their last trick. Multiple sources confirm that execs behind the new CW network have decided to pull the plug on the eight-year drama. The final episode will air Sunday, May 21.
Ironically, executive producer Brad Kern was holed up in an editing bay all day Thursday and missed a call from the president of Spelling Entertainment giving him the official cancellation news. But it's not like it came as a surprise; he says he always intended to write this season's last episode as a series finale. "It's been a hell of a run," he says, "but all good things must come to an end."
Details of the final episode are being kept under wraps, but fan favorite Brian Krause will likely be back. And what ab

Answer: They're shooting Episode 14 now and he ain't in it. But I'd bet my huge Smurf poster that we'll see him again before the (likely, though not official) series finale in May.

Brian Krause
Sure, Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs have been around since Day 1, but it says a whole lot more that Brian Krause has lasted a full seven years on WB's Charmed (Sundays at 8 pm/ET), which frankly isn't known for providing job security for male actors. Indeed, Krause knows that his is a charmed existence, in more ways than one.
TVGuide.com: Dude, you work with Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan and now Kaley Cuoco. Not exactly the hardest job in Hollywood, is it?Brian Krause: Yeah, I think there have been more difficult jobs, that's for
