Rex and Hannah: A Missed Opportunity

by

Tim McCree

As those of you who are familiar with my Charmed Fan Fictions may know, I took a lot of time to develop the characters of Rex Buckland and Hannah Webster. R&H were, of course, the two Warlocks who appeared early in Season One. In my Fan Fictions, I transformed R&H from power hungry Warlocks into a loving couple who became trusted allies with the Charmed Ones. I received a lot of comments from readers of my Fan Fictions, saying that they liked “my” Rex and Hannah better than the ones that appeared on the show! I considered that a great compliment and I was pleased that my work was so well received.

That got me thinking about something. It seemed that, as far as the show was concerned, the characters of R&H had a lot of potential that was just never realized. However, I was able to see potential in these two characters right from the moment they were first introduced. There were many ideas that could have been used. A couple of examples are listed below:

1. We could have had a flashback story that revealed just how R&H become Warlocks in the first place.

2. R&H could have done some soul searching and realized that they really had no desire to harm the Charmed Ones. Then they could have gotten the nerve to stand up to the Source and assert their right to choose their own destiny.

Sadly, neither of those scenarios happened. Instead, the writers just tossed these two great characters aside and forgot about them. When Charmed ended in 2006, after eight seasons on the air, it was without a return appearance of R&H. To this day, I feel that the show missed a great opportunity when it never brought R&H back.

Of course, once R&H were no longer on Charmed, they fell into my capable hands. I decided to give R&H the chance to shine that the writers of Charmed never had the inclination to give them.

My latest series of R&H Fan Fictions is called The Rex and Hannah Chronicles. This is the third incarnation of the R&H characters that I have created (my Original Charmed Stories and the Charmed Extended Universe being the previous two). As you can guess from the title, R&H are the STARS of these new stories. I hope to provide new and fascinating adventures for R&H (in fact I have already written several stories as of the writing of this article). I invite all my readers who have enjoyed my R&H stories in the past to come along. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed.
