I liked Paige over Phoebe and sometimes even Piper, but imo nothing can beat Prue. But I get you, Prue was pretty much the center of the show before she died.

I feel like the reason why the writers made Prue so hyper-competent was because otherwise, she didn't have much of a storyline to fall back on? Like both Piper and Phoebe had the "Romeo & Juliet" thing going on with Leo and Cole, respectively, and Prue was just... being awesome and kicking ass. Not to say Phoebe and Piper didn't kick ass, but the focus of their characters was elsewhere.

Wasn't it that Shannon Doherty wanted her character to be center stage? I don't know where I read that, but I think that was one of the conditions for her to sign on for the show.

Yup, basically. Shannon Doherty has always been a diva (and it kinda killed her career), and she had the experience to back it up. Her contract was basically "as much time for my character as I please".
Unfortunately for her, as the number of episodes went up so did the other characters' screen-time.

Agreed about the sisters. I liked all of them to some degree but Prue was my favorite.

I always found it odd that they never gave Prue a legitimate love interest after Andy. Well, unless you count Jack but seeing as I think their actual relationship only lasted for like three episodes, I don't really think he counts? There was a lot of leading-up to that relationship and so little pay-off. And all the other guys she was involved with hit the road after two or three episodes. So yeah, I agree that without the romance angle, they fell back on her being the most magic-focused of the three and the one who ultimately made most of the decisions. Which was fine with me, I just thought it was an odd choice for a series that seemed so focused on the romance angle.

I couldn't take Jack seriously cuz I've seen Scary Movie too many times, so I was kinda glad he didn't stay. (I saw Scary Movie before Charmed.)
I think Prue's storyline should've focused more on her grieving after Andy, as far as romance goes, so I'm kinda glad they didn't try and go with a new romance route with Prue. I agree about it being an odd choice, but I'm happy it went that way. Too much romance makes for a mushy series.
