Phoebe Halliwell is a fictional character from the American television series ''Charmed'', played by Alyssa Milano from October 7, 1998 until May 21, 2006. The character was originally played by Lori Rom in the unaired pilot episode. However, Rom quit the series, and a new pilot was filmed with Milano in the role of Phoebe. The character was created by Constance M. Burge and is based on Burge herself. Phoebe is introduced into ''Charmed'' as the youngest sister to Prue (Shannen Doherty) and Piper Halliwell (Holly Marie Combs). She is one of the original featured leads and, more specifically, a Charmed Oneone of the most powerful witches of all time. Phoebe initially possesses the power of premonition, which enables her to see into the future and the past. To make up for initially only having a passive power, Phoebe develops martial arts skills in order to better assist her sisters when they fight evil beings. As the series progresses, she also gains the active powers of levitation and empathy. Phoebe was originally portrayed as the "free-spirited", "carefree", and most rebellious sister. However, Phoebe's progression as a witch helps her become more responsible and grow as a person. She later becomes the middle sister after Prue dies and the series introduces their younger half-sister Paige Matthews (Rose McGowan). This results in Phoebe often playing mediator between Piper and Paige, much like Piper used to be for her and Prue. Phoebe's various relationships has been central to most of her storylines. Her longest on-screen relationship is with half-demon Cole Turner (Julian McMahon); they have a turbulent marriage in the fourth season, and in the fifth, following their divorce, she is compelled to vanquish him. In subsequent seasons, Phoebe has relationships with her boss Jason Dean (Eric Dane), fellow employee Leslie St. Claire (Nick Lachey), and artist Dex Lawson (Jason Lewis). In the eighth and final season, she marries a cupid named Coop (Victor Webster). The character was mostly well-received by television critics, who praised Phoebe's comedic side and felt that Milano was a better fit for the role than Rom. They also commented on the outfits worn by Phoebe in the later seasons, with some critics describing them as "revealing and ridiculous costumes", "sexy" and "skimpy." Milano's portrayal of Phoebe earned her several awards and nominations; she was nominated for a Spacey Award, Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award, and a Teen Choice Award. In 2007 and 2008, AOL TV ranked Phoebe at number seven on their list of the Top TV Witches. In addition to the television series, the character has also appeared in numerous expanded universe material, such as the ''Charmed'' novels and its comic book adaptation. ==Casting and development== In 1998, The WB began searching for a drama series, and looked to Spelling Television, which had produced the network's most successful series ''7th Heaven'', to create it. Expanding on the popularity of supernatural-themed dramas, the production company explored forms of mythology to find mythological characters they could focus on with contemporary storytelling.〔"Genesis" Documentary, ''Charmed'': The Complete Final Season Region 1 DVD〕 In order to create the series, Constance M. Burge was hired as the creator as she was under contract with 20th Century Fox and Spelling Television after conceiving the drama ''Savannah''.〔 The character of Phoebe Halliwell was conceived by Burge, who wrote the pilot script for ''Charmed''. The pilot script was based around three mismatched sisters〔 who are initially based on Burge and her two older sisters, Laura and Edie Burge. Phoebe is based on Burge herself.〔 On creating the Halliwell sisters, Burge stated "Phoebe was honestly the easiest. It just grew from within."〔 Executive producer Brad Kern claimed Phoebe was written into the series as the classic younger sibling〔 and stated that at the start of series Phoebe is "trying to find her own identity by living life large and not really having a care in the world."〔 When the series was in its first development stages, actress Lori Rom was cast in the role of Phoebe.〔 Rom played the role in a 28-minute test pilot (the "unaired pilot" never aired on television) with which the series was picked up by The WB. Rom later pulled out from the series before a 45-minute version of the pilot could be filmed for proper network television, leaving the role of Phoebe vacant.〔 Executive producer Aaron Spelling then turned to actress Alyssa Milano, who was previously cast in another television series produced by Spelling Television, ''Melrose Place''. While Milano was in Hawaii shooting an episode for ''Fantasy Island'', Spelling phoned Milano and asked her to consider joining the series.〔 After receiving a copy of the original pilot and the script, five days later Milano began shooting the re-shot pilot episode.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phoebe Halliwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
