Holly Marie Combs Preggers
October 30, 2003 - EOnline- Lia Haberman
Charmed, were sure.
Holly Marie Combs and longtime boyfriend David Donoho reveal they are expecting their first child together in April in the upcoming issue of TV Guide.
Combs, who got her big break as Tom Skerritt's daughter on Picket Fences, is best known as sorceress Piper Halliwell on the WB's Charmed.
Donoho, whos reportedly lived with the thesp since 2001, works as a key grip on the series.
It's a first child for both.
Combs was married to fellow actor Bryan Smith from 1993 to 1997 and briefly engaged to civilian Storm Lyndon before they split up in 2000.
Producers say Combs' real-life pregnancy will be worked into the show in time for February sweeps. But they're keeping mum on Piper's sperm donor. "Who says there is a father?" teased executive producer Brad Kern to TV Guide.
It's a go-around of sorts for Combs' character, who was happily married to Whitelighter Leo Wyatt and delivered the series' first baby during February sweeps last season before she split with her TV hubby.

A Charmed Speedy Delivery
By Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith-New York Daily News
Holly Marie Combs reveals that the pregnancy of her Charmed character is proving to be rather difficult for producers Aaron Spelling and E. Duke Vincent. "They're concerned about showing my character pregnant. They're very old fashioned, from an era where a woman got fired if she looked pregnant on a show. It's fine with me, but to please the producers, we've worked it out so i'll only wear a body suit on six segmants, a few episodes to show me midterm, a few to show me very, very pregnant. " Combs, who expects her character Piper Haliwell to give birth sometime in the February Sweeps, notes that fans are rooting for her. "They were supportive about Piper's marrige to Leo (Brian Krause), and want to see a baby come out. Every now and then, we try and emulate real life, and this is the real, human element."

Charmed:
entertainmentweekly.com
The WB's latest entry in the teen sweepstakes is actually building on the ratings of its lead-in, Dawson's Creek, among 18- to 49-year-olds. Charmed cannily plays to adolescent interest in witchcraft (and all-ages interest in tightly clothed young women) by casting Picket Fences' Holly Marie Combs, Melrose Place's Alyssa Milano, and the first lady of the American theater, Lillian Gish -- oh, sorry, Shannen Doherty -- as San Francisco sisters who become witches. But, I hasten to say to Steve Allen and the Parents Television Council, good witches, witches who help people.
Spike-heeled where Buffy is fleet-footed, Charmed is Charlie's Angels with a Ouija board. Like Angels, this newcomer is executive-produced by Aaron Spelling and plays up the stars' separate-but-equal charms. The Halliwell sisters are like superheroes: Prue (Doherty) can move objects telekinetically; Piper (Combs) can momentarily freeze time; Phoebe (Milano) can foresee the immediate future. They live together in a big ramshackle house, fighting warlocks and being catty toward each other.
''You sleaze!'' squeals Combs to Doherty when Shannen sleeps with a guy on a first date; a bit later, after Doherty's Prue has been snappish, Milano remarks, ''You'd think Prue would be mellower -- it's been what, six months?'' Charmed is a bit thin in the plot department; the main things it has going for it are the sisters' pulchritude and the presence of Doherty, who is that rare item: a TV star who succeeds on the strength of her vitriol. Perennially crabby, delivering her lines as if she has contempt for them -- Prue? Shannen? Where does one end and the other begin? -- curt, cranky Doherty gives Charmed its kick.

POWER GALS: Alyssa, Holly Clout Use on Charmed
If the guest stars on "Charmed" are impressive this year, thank Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs, who are using their considerable clout to get things the way they want them. The actresses have become producers on their series, and, says Holly, "We're raiding Alyssa's address book for castings, calling all her friends -- calling in lots of favors. For starters, she says, Jamie Pressly will pop up on the Sept. 22 season debut and Sean Patrick Flanery will guest the following week. Why hasn't co-star Rose McGowan gotten a boost to producer? "She's new kid on the block," says Holly of Shannen Doherty's "Charmed" replacement. "She'll have to be there at least four years before she becomes a producer, too." And how has a producer's position changed Milano and Combs' "Charmed" lives? "Not that much," says Holly. "They were always good about listening to our ideas -- except now they have to pretend they're really interested."
