Krista Vernoff may currently be working on Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19, and Rebel, but once upon a time, she was heavily involved with the original Charmed. Now, two decades later, Vernoff has revealed that she exited her writer/producer post on the series due to a mermaid storyline on Charmed Season 5. As you will recall if you watched the original series, Alyssa Milano’s Phoebe Halliwell became a mermaid during a particular arc that season. “I signed on because Charmed was a girl-power show,” Vernoff explained The Hollywood Reporter a profile of her career in the business, “and about halfway through…

Indeed, Mass Effect, Skyrim, and Fallout are all very…
