Cause One Bundle Of Joy Ain't Enough!

I don't usually take time to introduce my interviewees, usually I just get right into the interview, but I just have to say how amazing it was to have Jennifer Love Hewitt from the sub-supporting cast and all the special guests from Charmed's special episode this year! It was absolutely amazing, you'd never believe it, so here's the interview

[sitting down with Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sandra Prosper, Finola Hughes, Jennifer Rhodes, & James Read]

Ed Gunzingger: Okay, so we're gonna start out easy. [a few of the actors/actresses chuckle.] Jennifer [looking at Jennifer Love Hewitt] and Jennifer, [looking at Jennifer Rhodes] how complicated is it having two Jennifers on set?

Jennifer Love Hewitt: [cutting Rhodes off.] Well-

Jennifer Rhodes: [cutting Love Hewitt off at the same time.] I-. You go first.

Jennifer Love Hewitt: Having the privilege to work with Rhodes was amazing, so amazing I went as far as having my name changed for the 8 days of filming.

Ed Gunzingger: Really? What was this name?

Jennifer Love Hewitt: [laughing.] Oracle! I really like that name.

Ed Gunzingger: Now from my understanding, your character "Oracle" is not written in the baby episode.

Jennifer Love Hewitt: Correct. In previous episode something major has happened to my partner, Draco -so to say- so the Oracle's taking a little break, but I'm not gone! [laughs.]

Ed Gunzingger: [turning himself to face Finola.] There's just something I've been dying to ask you.

Finola Hughes: [smiling widely.] What's that?

Ed Gunzingger: Rumor has it that sparks flew on set between you and [points to James.] Mr. Read over there!

Finola Hughes: [laughs.] No.

Ed Gunzingger: What's your side of the story James?

James Read: [grinning.] There isn't anything going on between us, we're just good friends.

Finola Hughes: [nodding her head.] I'm married.

Ed Gunzingger: Okay, well back to the episode titled "Twice The Joy", can someone give me a synopsis? Rhodes?

Jennifer Rhodes: Well it was a fun episode. A surprising episode actually, but I'm sure those internet junkies (have) received the 411 on Piper's birth months ago. Phoebe and Paige plan Piper's baby shower, secretly, but Piper spoilers it by booking her club full of up-to-date bands, [sarcastic.] of course I couldn't name them off for you because I'm simply too old-

Sandra Prosper: [chuckles.] Nickelback, Third Eye Blind, Smashmouth, and 3 Doors Down, I believe.

Jennifer Rhodes: [smiling.] Thank you-

Sandra Prosper: You're welcome.

Jennifer Rhodes: [con't.] As I was saying, Phoebe and Paige up their plans to have the baby shower that night at the Manor and they invite, family.

James Read: Us more less.

Ed Gunzingger: And while in the midst of the baby shower Piper goes into labor, correct?

Sandra Prosper: It doesn't really even get that far.

Ed Gunzingger: Now from what I've been informed, you Sandra have a huge role in Piper's birth?

Sandra Prosper: [nodding her head.] Yes I do.

Ed Gunzingger: Could you tell us about it?

Sandra Prosper: I could tell you to watch the episode, April 2, 2004. [chuckles.]

Ed Gunzingger: Now there's one thing throughout the episode that the writers have never done before.

Finola Hughes: [talking to herself.] This is the best part.

James Read: The Charmed Ones have a demon free day! It's not officially addressed but, it so happens that, that's the way the day turns out!

Ed Gunzingger: One last question before we wrap up here, in previous episodes, it leaves a lot of lose ends and I myself as probably many fans of Charmed: Alternate Season 5 are wondering will these be tied up?

Jennifer Rhodes: Some, I think.

James Read: [agreeing.] Yeah some.

Ed Gunzingger: Well that's all I have for today, it was great to meet all of you. Thank you very much-

Finola Hughes: [interrupting him.] Wait there was one more thing. I promised Shannen that I'd apologize for her, she really wanted to make it for the interview but is currently tied up in filming for her returning series, "Scare Tactics".

[Note: For those of you who don't know on Charmed: Alternate Season 5, Jennifer Love Hewitt plays the part of "The Oracle", Jennifier Rhodes plays the part of "Grams", Finola Hughes plays the part of "Patty Halliwell", James Read plays the part of "Victor Bennett", and Sandra Prosper plays the part of "Shelia Morris."]
