Anonymous asked: How will you expand Phoebe's powers? She's the only sister for some reason to always have the most limits to her powers.

Pat Shand: I feel like a
good majority of the questions that I get here are about powers and kids. I’ve said before and I’ll say again, I have no interest in expanding any of the
sister’s power sets or expanding their families. Their powers are huge and have increased, changed, evolved, etc. every season. It’s getting to be too much and there is no drama
when writing a story about three all-powerful witches. The drama and the humanity is that their powers are limited, and can function as metaphors for who they are as people. Their strengths
need weaknesses. Thus, I want to explore their powers and watch them learn new ways to utilize their already existing powers rather than expand, expand, expand until they’re gods. X
Anonymous asked: Will we see them individually or collectively bonding with Prue? For a sister they've mourned for years, we didn't really see any bonding moments from them.

Pat Shand: The lack of
bonding moments between the sisters and Prue is a vital plot point of the majority of (if not the entire) season. X
Anonymous asked: Hi Pat! Im from Chile, I have some questions to you about Charmed :) - Can be Prue visited in the nexus by her sisters? any chance she use their astral projection to visit the manor? I really enjoy the storylines where Prue live a new life in the real word because in the series (first three seasons) she really wanted be a great witch but live a life too. Thaks for your time! (sorry for my english) :)

Pat Shand: Hey, Charmed fan
from Chile! Your English is perfectly understandable. I can’t really answer your questions, though, except that they are central aspects of Prue’s character arc. Answers to those questions
will be explored throughout the whole season and will have ramifications on all of the leads. X

@PatShand: Cole is the most fun to write when he's being a complete dick. X
@Phoebe1_:
@PatShand oh no... ha ha
@PatShand:
@Phoebe1_ Not to Phoebe!
@PatShand: As character-driven as #CharmedSeason10 is going to be, this is the most heavily I've ever plotted something. X
Sometimes, Robyn Hood is damn near freestyle because of its strong emphasis on character and dialogue. X
And the plots for Grimm Fairy Tales are more straight forward to accommodate the huge cast and concentration on visuals. X
But with Charmed, each page is doing something very, very specific. Scripting Charmed is akin to putting together a puzzle. X
Piece by piece, sometimes out of traditional order. X
