There has been much debate and discussion over why Shannen Doherty left Charmed just three seasons in. Most fingers – including Doherty’s – point to co-star Alyssa Milano, although she has hardly fessed up to any wrongdoing. Whatever the true case may be, when Prue Halliwell was killed off in “All Hell Breaks Loose”, that was it for Shannen Doherty’s Charmed run. And that includes the series finale, “Forever Charmed”, which is one of the finest of its time despite her absence.
Speaking on her own Let’s Be Clear podcast (via The Hollywood Reporter), Shannen Doherty says she wishes she could have given Charmed fans a different sendoff by being part of “Forever Charmed” but knows it wouldn’t have benefited her. “I regret it one sense, I regret it for the fans. But I don’t regret it for me, because I was so incredibly wrecked from getting fired that,...

The saga of what really happened on the set of Charmed has another new chapter. Buckle up, it’s a lot of back and forth.
Shannen Doherty, Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs sat side by side on the main stage at MegaCon Orlando on Sunday. As the panel came to a close, Doherty pulled out a cellphone to read a statement. At one point, the actress fought back tears as she responded to claims made two days earlier at the same convention by fellow Charmed star Alyssa Milano, who blasted Doherty and Combs for crafting “revisionist history” in blaming Milano for Doherty’s firing at the end of season three in 2001.
“A lot of things have been said, and a lot of them very hurtful,” Doherty said in reference to her hard-to-follow saga with Milano. During an episode of Doherty’s Let’s Be Clear podcast in December, she...

When Prue Halliwell was killed off in the third season of Charmed, there was only one name to blame as far as fans were concerned. No, it wasn’t Shax but rather Alyssa Milano, whose reported behind-the-scenes feud with Shannon Doherty led to her onscreen sister dying in the season finale, “All Hell Breaks Loose.” Now, Milano is speaking out against the claim, saying she didn’t even have the pull to have someone removed from the show.
In an Instagram post, Alyssa Milano wrote of the allegations against her over the Charmed drama, “This was so long ago that any retelling of these stories from anyone is just revisionist history. I will add, though, with absolute certainty-everything was documented. There was a professional mediator (I was told Holly [Marie Combs] and Shannen would not participate in any mediation) and an on-set producer/babysitter who were both brought in to investigate all claims.

Did Alyssa Milano really get Charmed co-star Shannen Doherty kicked off the show? That’s exactly what happened, according to fellow co-star Holly Marie Combs. Appearing on the latest episode of Doherty’s Let’s Be Clear podcast, Combs opened up about what she remembered of her co-star’s departure at the end of the third season. Combs recalled having a meeting with a producer at the time, “He said, ‘We didn’t mean to, but we’ve been backed into this corner… we’re basically in this position where it’s one or the other. We were told [by Alyssa] it’s her or [Shannen], and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment.'” In the series, which revolved around a trio of witch sisters known as The Charmed Ones, Doherty played the eldest sister, Prue Halliwell. Combs starred as the middle sister, Piper Halliwell, while Milano played the youngest sister,...

Shannen Doherty joined her former Charmed co-stars Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Drew Fuller, Brian Krause, and Dorian Gregory at That’s 4 Entertainment’s 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, and defended the show’s reboot. When a fan booed the mention of the newer CW series, which ended last year, Doherty responded, “Not cool… Don’t boo to people who supply literally hundreds and hundreds of people with their job.” Doherty, who played Prue Halliwell in the original hit series, added that “the new Charm is also for a younger generation,” noting, “I’ve met a lot of people that have bonded just like all of you have bonded, right where this Charmed got you through a lot of life experiences [and] brought you and your family close to get closer together, there’s a whole other generation that felt the same thing with the new Charmed.” Nick Cinea, courtesy of...

Writers for the Charmed reboot didn’t hold back after a perceived insult from someone who worked on the original series.
Curtis Kheel, who wrote for the first Charmed series that premiered on The WB in 1998 and ran for eight seasons, took to Twitter on Saturday to respond to a news story about the reboot’s series finale, which aired the day prior on The CW.

Unlike her former Charmed co-stars, Shannen Doherty has nothing but nice things to say about The CW's reboot.
Doherty has shared her praise for the show just days after Sarah Jeffery called out original stars Holly Marie Combs and Rose McGowan for their comments about the remake of the series.
Doherty played Prue Halliwell on the first three seasons of the original series, and said in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly that she finds the reboot to be positive.
"What's old is new...and I think it’s wonderful a new generation can connect with three strong, powerful women, not to mention the many jobs the show provides," Doherty said.
This is not the first time Doherty has spoken positively about the new take on the series.
"I'm intrigued by the idea that a new generation might be comforted, inspired like all you were. Charmed helped us all in some way,...

The CW’s new Charmed reboot has its fair share of critics — but Shannen Doherty is not among them.
Doherty, who played Prue Halliwell in three of the original drama’s eight seasons, stood behind the new version during a Q&A at Comic-Con Paris.
“I have seen a lot of people be very mean and very negative and cruel to the new show and the new cast,” Doherty began, after the mere mention of The CW’s reboot drew boos from the crowd. “I want to remind everybody that these are three girls who just want to act. They got a huge opportunity,...

Ready or not, The CW's Charmed reboot is coming your way very soon. On Wednesday, the network unveiled the premiere dates for its Fall TV schedule, including the release date for the upcoming adaptation of the hit 1998 series. You'll get to meet the new Charmed Ones when the series kicks off on Sunday, Oct. 14, right after Supergirl.
The show has certainly garnered mixed reactions since it was first announced in January. While some dedicated fans are on the fence about rebooting the classic show, the original stars aren't so happy either. Even though Shannen Doherty (who played Prue Halliwell) has chosen to keep an open mind, Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell) has made it incredibly clear that she is against it. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how the new show stacks up against the original when it premieres.

Say hello to the new Charmed ones! The remake of the hit 1998 show Charmed is officially coming to The CW this Fall, and we already have the first look. Not only do the photos give us a glimpse of the three witch sisters, played by Melonie Diaz, Sarah Jeffery, and Madeleine Mantock, but we also have a look at the sacred Book of Shadows. Let's just say, the attic is basically an exact replica of the Halliwell sisters' home.
The series, which is being written by Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin (Jane the Virgin), has been generating mixed reactions since it was first announced in January, especially from the original cast. While Shannen Doherty (who played Prue Halliwell from seasons one to three) is keeping an open mind about the revival, Holly Marie Combs (who played Piper Halliwell) is clearly against it.

Charmed fans can now get all the information on the newest magical trio who’ll be at the center of the reboot.
TVLine reported the casting breakdowns of three sisters in a college town who suddenly discover they are witches. Among the sisters is Mel Pruitt who is dating female Detective Soo Jin.
Mel is also a “strong-willed feminist” who experiences a tragic accident that leaves her angry and unable to deal with her emotions, which might cause some problems with her time-freezing abilities.
Madison Pruitt is Mel’s younger sister who is “horrified” to learn of her witch abilities — hearing people’s thoughts.

As the CW endeavors to bring Charmed back to the airwaves, at least one of the show's original stars is keeping an open mind. Following Holly Marie Combs' steadfast outright dismissal of plans to reboot Aaron Spelling's supernatural drama, Shannen Doherty, who starred as Prue Halliwell in the show's first three seasons, has offered her thoughts on the matter, engaging with fans on Twitter and offering a much more nuanced take on things than her former co-star. Responding to a fan who argued that the fact that someone wanted to reboot Charmed pointed to it finally getting the respect it deserved, Doherty admitted that the idea that a new generation could walk away as inspired as the original's fans...
