 Did You Know Holly Marie Combs Was Almost Part of The Craft?

Before she became Piper Halliwell on Charmed, Holly Marie Combs was reportedly considered for the role of Bonnie in The Craft.

And that little piece of witchy history makes fans wonder what could have been.

Had she been cast, Holly would have reunited with her Dr. Giggles co-star Cliff De Young — years before she stepped into one of the most beloved witch roles on television.

Of course, fate had other plans.

A couple of years later, Holly brought Piper Halliwell to life in Charmed.

And what a perfect choice that turned out to be.

Piper wasn’t the loudest sister at first.

She was gentle.
Grounded.
Nervous.
Human.

But over time, she became the heart of the Halliwell family — a powerful witch, a devoted sister, a wife, a mother, and one of the strongest women in the entire series.

There’s also another fun connection between The Craft and Charmed.

Both are forever linked to “How Soon Is Now?” — the song that became almost inseparable from that late-90s supernatural feeling.

Dark rooms.
Candles.
Sisterhood.
Magic.
Women discovering power they didn’t fully understand yet.

While Charmed became its own legendary story, it’s easy to see how The Craft helped shape the mood of that era.

And maybe that’s why fans still love this connection.

Because Holly Marie Combs may not have joined The Craft…

But she became part of something just as iconic.

She became Piper Halliwell.

And for Charmed fans, it’s impossible to imagine anyone else in that role.
