Paige Matthews...the lost sister. The youngest of the Halliwell sisters, daughter of Patricia Halliwell and Samuel Wilder, Patty's whitelighter. Paige was abandoned door this couple because of circumstances, and was later adopted door the Matthews, not knowing anything about the magical world.

Paige's appearance was, u could say forced, into the toon after the leaving (or in TV death) of Prue Halliwell, the eldest sister of the Halliwells. Paige appeared in the show, after Prue's death, finding out that she was really a witch and she had a future as a Charmed One. But the vraag that came into my head, on the first episode Paige appeared was...why weren't any hints that there was a fourth sister?

There was an episode in Season 2 called "P3H2O" in which Paige's father, Sam, appeared. How hard would it had been for the writers to create the doubt of whether of not there was a fourth sister? After all, from what we've heard the Shannen/Alyssa problem begun during Season 2. And knowing this because of both actresses pasts about causing a little bit of trouble on set, how hard could it have been to just create the doubt of a fourth sister? Just in case they had to "kill" someone off the show.

Not critizing the writers choice here, just wondering why couldn't they just create the benefit of the doubt to us, viewers? Was it because maybe is we thought there was a fourth sister we would lose interest in the show? After all the power was The Power Of Three, not the Power Of Three and A Lost Sister. Was it because they never thought they would have to kill a character of the show? Whatever their reason was I wonder, what could have the toon been like without Paige? of if they were going to bring her in, why not create the doubt of where she existed of not. That way her arrival wouldn't have seen so...without sense.
