Alyssa Milano Talks Past Charmed Drama With Shannen Doherty
Charmed, the supernatural collection that debuted in 1998 on The WB, initially starred Milano, Doherty and Holly Marie Combs as a trio of witch sisters. Nonetheless, as season three got here to a detailed in 2001, Doherty, who performed oldest Halliwell sister Prue, was killed off of the present. The explanation? Nicely, as Doherty stated in an interview with ET following her exit, “there was an excessive amount of drama on the set and never sufficient ardour for the work.”
Doherty was ultimately changed by Rose McGowan, who portrayed Halliwell half-sister Paige Matthews.
Although Milano has reconnected with Doherty, her relationship with former co-star McGowan is, properly, lower than magical. In August of 2020, after clashing on social media over some political tweets, McGowan claimed that Milano made the Charmed set “poisonous AF.”
