Joanna Frankel

Joanna Frankel is one of the leading characters of ABC's short-lived series Eastwick (2009). She is a clumsy, ordinary journalist who discovers she is a witch with powerful abilities, such as hypnotising men into doing whatever she desires and makes friends with two other magical women. She is swept away in her new powers and grows in confidence thanks to mysterious stranger Darryl Van Horne. 
She was portrayed by Lindsay Price. 
== Personality ==
Joanna is constantly nervous and often says whatever comes into her head, no matter how awkward it is, especially when she's around her crush Will. Despite her flustered manner, Joanna is a very dedicated journalist and will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth, even if it affects her relationships. She is a loyal friend but her determination can often make her lose sense of that.
== Biography ==
She was working at the Eastwick Gazette when she encountered a strange looking coin, she took it to the town center fountain and tossed it inside, unknowingly activating her powers and summoning Darryl Van Horne. She also befriends local spiritualist Roxie Torcoletti and overworked, underappreciated Kat Gardener and the trio quickly become close. Darryl Van Horne buys the newspaper and meets with Joanna, telling her to be more confident, that she can get whatever wants just by asking. She tries this out with her boss Clyde and demands a promotion and a pay increase, which he instantly accepts due to her powers.
Joanna is given an anonymous tip that Darryl isn't who he says he is and sets out to find out the truth.
== Powers and Abilities ==
* Witchcraft: Joanna is a witch and has the ability to cast spells and make potions, although she has a lot of untapped potential in regards to this, but she does have active abilities:
** Hypnosis: her initial power is the ability to influence the minds of men. By looking into her eyes, men are instantly enthralled by her and they will do whatever she says. This power does not work on women and the subject must hear her commands clearly in order for it to work.
** Telekinesis: she later develops the power to move objects with her mind. Also activated through her eyes, Joanna can pull objects towards her or send them (and people) flying just by focusing on it.
