Holly Marie Combs

 "Holly Marie Combs, who plays Piper Halliwell, is the only member of the Charmed cast to appear in all 178 episodes, including the first (“Something Wicca This Way Comes”) and the finale (“Forever Charmed”). This is a remarkable feat and a testament to her deep commitment to the series.

A few points to note:

 Holly was initially considered the “middle sister,” but after Shannen Doherty (Prue) left at the end of season 3, Piper became the eldest sister – and the heart of the Halliwell family – for the rest of the series.

 In addition to being an actress, Holly also took on the role of co-producer from season 5 onwards, showing that she was not only committed to the role but also contributed to the direction of the entire show.

 When the series ended, many fans and critics agreed that Piper was the central character of Charmed as a whole – the bridge between the strength, heart, and emotions of all three (later four) sisters.

Holly Marie Combs not only “completed” Charmed, but she also became the symbol that was synonymous with the show’s soul – growing with the character, from a confused young girl to a strong mother, a powerful witch, and a sister who never gave up on her family."
