Has Charmed gotten rid of Niko?

[Jean]

I read the actress has just booked a recurring role on some show called Manifest, which films in NYC I believe not Canada where Charmed is.

and Ellen Tamaki (Charmed) are set for recurring roles opposite Melissa Roxburgh on the upcoming second season of NBC’s hit missing plane drama series Manifest, from Jeff Rake, Warner Bros. TV, Universal Television and Compari Entertainment.

So it appears Parker might be the only returning co-star and love interest during Season 2, if Galvin is dead, and the actress playing Niko has found another job. *sigh*

But if they are bringing in Alastair's daughter and Parker's sister, of course, that means he isn't going anywhere.

Ah, but this is a recurring role, not a regular one.  Meaning that Ellen won't on Manifest all the time.

So it's possible that she could still do Charmed as well.

That may be right. But she certainly won't be on Charmed when S2 starts while Ellen is in NYC filming Manifest right now. Depends how big of a part she has on this show.

We shall see.

Then again. Maybe because she isn't in Charmed when S2 starts, she's booked other work in the meantime.

If she is recurring on both shows, she'll be able to go back and forth, as scripts demand.

Unusual over here, but in Britain it's quite common for an actor be working on multiple shows at the same time.

True take Britain Got Talent and America's Got Talent or Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing With The Stars.

Simon Cowell from the first and Bruno Tunioli from the other fly out each week to the latter shows then come back for the first ones also.

And Arthur Darvell was in Legends Of Tomorrow and Broadchurch same time too.

Hopefully Ellen can do Manifest and Charmed whenever filming at different times with the script explaining Niko isn't there season 2 start wise because she wanted time processing what happened in the season 1 finale say or learning to accept Melonie and her sisters magic by herself otherwise.

I guess we know the answer to this question now.

Seems that, aside from the sisters and Harry, all the first season characters have been jettisoned.   By moving to another part of the country, that means new characters, not old ones.   The new show runners want to start over, it seems (not that I mind, of course).
