Theory about Paige and the reboot...


I've heard that one of the reboot's 1976 witches will be named Paige. I think the overall description of her is that she's the traditional "housewifie" type of the trio. So maybe in the first season of the show, she meets someone, gets married, and maybe in the next couple seasons afterward she becomes the OG Paige's adoptive mother. She names the baby after herself, and throughout the show we could potentially see little Paige grow up.

I know that some would poke holes in this but I think all of it could probably be explained.
First of all, I know the show is supposed to take place in New England, and that Paige lived in San Francisco when her parent's died, but it's never really established that she spent her whole childhood there. She probably could have lived in New England when she was very young, and they move to San Francisco later, which is probably the place where her mother or father are originally from.

Secondly, I think its entirely possible that Paige wouldn't remember her mother's witchy adventures because the charmed ones themselves were surrounded by magic when they were very young. I think Prue was like 5 or 6 when their powers were taken away. That's plenty of time for the show to run its course, while we get to see Paige early in her childhood.

This little theory can be tossed out if the names of Paige's deceased parents were already revealed to us. I also apologize if this was someone else's original concept xD I haven't seen the idea tossed around at all so I figured I'd mention it here.

No, Paige's parents' names are never revealed so you could be onto something.

There are two name that you should watch out for Uncle Dave and Aunt Julie. Who knows if they may finally be shown.

Baby Paige actually staying in the custody of Paige and the other two witches for a while until she's handed over to the Matthews make a lot of sense. Series set in 1976 and Paige is born a year later. Also Baby Paige is this forbidden being. How would Grams, Patty and Sam giving her up to non-magical people protect her from the Elders or evil beings? 

Not only that, but how did Grams all by her lonesome self raise the powerless Charmed Ones without getting killed when the Manor and her granddaughters are supposed to be evil magnets? If warlocks want Charmed powers, why didn’t they just kill Grams and wait for the little Charmed Ones to get their powers unbound? Grams was a powerful witch, but she’s not Charmed. Surely a large number of demons and warlocks attacking would’ve easily gotten her killed. Either evil was completely dumb and never attacked in large numbers or they did and somehow Grams and her human granddaughters mysteriously survived.

Besides warlocks, why in the world did the Source of Evil simply not just flame in the Manor and incinerate Grams and her granddaughters with one fireball? Why didn’t his Seers and Oracles foresee and inform him of the three witches who would one day be the biggest thorn in his side? 

The answer to all these pesky questions, what if these other three witches pretended to be the Charmed Ones? Keeping the Source and all the Underworld distracted until the real Charmed Ones grew up safely? They protected Baby Paige as well, perhaps somehow channeling the Power of Three? Only a Power of Three spell I imagine can be powerful enough to keep someone cloaked from the Elders. But once Prue died, the cloaking spell on Paige was broken and the Oracle was finally able to see Paige.

So as you can see, Paige theory and so-called reboot, not crazy at all 


Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible.

They've already confirmed that the reboot will have no connection to the original series bar the name?
