The Charmed Reboot Will Feature a Couple Inspired by an Original Favorite

It's got to be Phoebe and Cole, right?

The Charmed reboot is borrowing quite a few things from the original series, such as the girls' powers (albeit, with one or two twists), the Book of Shadows, and even whitelighters! Lucky for us, the reboot didn't stop there, and it will be using one of the ships from the original show as inspiration for a new romance.

"There is a romance that's inspired by our favorite romance from the original Charmed," executive producer Jessica O'Toole told TV Guide at PaleyFest Fall TV Preview. As for which ship that might be, O'Toole was cagey about the specifics. "I don't know if I should say -- I can't, I can't say!"

"I think you can probably guess," Amy Rardin, another executive producer for the series, tacked on cheekily.

Naturally, everyone's minds should immediately have jumped to Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) and Cole (Julian McMahon), who had hands down the most romantic, turbulent, chemistry-brimming romance in all eight seasons of the original Charmed. When we said as much to O'Toole and Rardin, we got some very secretive giggles and a "no comment."

That's good enough for us!

Everything You Need to Know About The CW's CharmedReboot

For those of you unfamiliar with the original series, Cole Turner was a half-demon, half-human sent to destroy the Charmed Ones, which he attempted to do by seducing Phoebe in order to gain access to her sisters, her house and eventually her Book of Shadows. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for ever shipper in the world), he accidentally fell in love with Phoebe in the process and ended up fighting with her and her sisters on the side of good -- for a while. It got messy, okay?

If the reboot follows format, the youngest sister, Maggie (Sarah Jeffrey) might just find her cute college life interrupted by an unexpected, whirlwind romance with the dictionary definition of a bad boy.

Charmed premieres Sunday, Oct. 14 at 9/8c on The CW.
