To be completely honest I feel the writers biggest mistake with Phoebe was the whole Cole storyline. From there it just got from bad to worse. Seasons 1 and 2 were the best of the best for her.

i mean this is kinda true i feel like i want to argue that they kept phoebe authentic at the start of their relationship i just don't even know if that's true. like phoebe fell weirdly in love with cole weirdly quick which like can honor her go gettem side but the time in which she became hopelessly in love with him really would not make any sense for season 1-2 phoebe. and it's weird bc they're kind of the charmed it couple!! like they are kind of the romance of the show if you watched the show sure piper and leo but every regular joe who just tuned in when their cousins were watching it just remember alyssa milano and her sexy demon boyfriend. and i think that's why i can kind of vaguely like the concept of phole while also honestly not really caring about phole. because the writing on the show? was a flop. why is she so in love with him okay she's faking his death sure okay now he's human and really whiny and now he's the source of all evil great now she's a bridezilla and he's a gaslighter but no he's not it's the source but he's the source but no he's not now phoebe's queen of hell now he's dead now he's back now they've divorced and now he's crazy. boo. but the concepts??? The Concepts?? delicious, actually. I Should Stab You Through The Heart But I Can't? eats. and yet misogyny would not let us see the true glory that could have been because what phoebe was was not the kind of girl who was allowed to be at the center of romance plots. no, if you were a fun carefree spirit, you were allowed to have flings, as a punchline. you don't get to be a love interest until you stop being a slut. like i feel like a lot of phoebe's quirkiness and honestly, her edge, went away whenever there were defining cole scenes because they were trying to push her into this Romance Protagonist role where's she's awkward and clumsy around her love interest and she falls in love with him immediately and she also really doesn't get any one episode love interest plots the whole time she's with cole. let's recall bane was introduced while in the jack era. and phoebe was fun, cool, sexy! she could have totally gotten a bane. but New Phoebe was different. was this coherent at all?
