Julian McMahon, co-star of The WB's witch series Charmed, told SCI FI Wire that he's pleased so far with year four of the supernatural series, its first without Shannen Doherty. Doherty--who played Prue Halliwell opposite Alyssa Milano's Phoebe and Holly Marie Combs' Piper--departed at the end of last season and was replaced this year by Rose McGowan as new sister Paige Matthews.
"The season's been good fun, particularly the last three or four episodes after we established Rose's character," McMahon--who plays Cole Turner, aka the demon Belthazor--said in an interview. "We've really gotten to mix it up with my character and play with things a lot. The girls don't know if they trust him [a problem, since he just asked Phoebe to marry him]. I've always liked the way the show has been written. It's always fun and ridiculous, but then it's also serious at some points and had emotional content. It gives you a variety of things to do as an actor. It's really been a joy for me." As for anyone who fears that Cole is getting soft and mushy, McMahon said: "He gets bad." Charmed airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
McMahon, an Australian whose credits include a regular role as John Grant on Profiler, is currently dating Doherty and co-stars with her in the USA Network telemovie Another Day. The film, set to air on Dec. 4, stars Doherty as a young woman given the opportunity to relive the two days before the death of her husband, played by Max Martini (Harsh Realm and Level 9). McMahon plays a close friend of Doherty's character. USA Network is owned by USA Networks, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
