McMahon's Return Is Charmed

Julian McMahon, who will reprise the role of Cole in an upcoming episode of The WB's Charmed, told SCI FI Wire that his reappearance bookends his involvement with the show. "I loved w**king on the show," McMahon (Fantastic Four) said in an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco last weekend. "And I love playing that character. And the show and the show runners and that character really kind of gave me a lot as far as an actor is concerned. And I feel like where I'm at now is really attributed to what they allowed me to do on Charmed. ... And so for me going [back] is a no-brainer."

McMahon returns as Cole Turner, the half-human/half-demon ex-husband of Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano). Though Cole died in an earlier episode, his spirit will meet Piper's (Holly Marie Combs) in the cosmic space between life and death, where he will help reunite her with Leo (Brian Krause), according to a report on TheCharmedOnes.com.

Since leaving Charmed, McMahon has gained fame as one of the stars of F/X's Nip/Tuck and will soon appear as the villainous Dr. Doom in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. But there is a certain symmetry to his guest appearance on the show where he first got noticed, he said. "It's their 150th episode," he said. "I was killed in the 100th, and I come back in the 150th. I'll go back for the 200th if they have one. And if I was asked. But, you know, it was just ... a great character to play. It was great fun going back and [filling] those shoes again. It really was." The 150th episode, "The Seven Year Witch," is slated to air in April. Charmed airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
