Before her death, 'Beverly Hills, 90210' alum Shannen Doherty, who portrayed Prue Halliwell in the series, recorded an episode of 'The House of Halliwell' podcast with co-star Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper Halliwell.
In the episode, which was released on Tuesday, Doherty reflected on actress Lori Rom filming an unaired pilot as the third Halliwell sister, Phoebe, before the role ultimately went to Milano.
“Lori and Alyssa are very, very, very different people. So, Lori’s performance was different than Alyssa’s. Lori was a lot like Holly and I in the sense of [being] very grounded in drama,” she detailed on the podcast. “The presentation was much more serious, and it was way darker, which was my style. So, I loved the presentation, and I thought everybody was great.”
Doherty added, “When Alyssa came in, it provided a levity that I think the show ended up needing. She came in and she did a great job. And yeah, just brought a slightly different flavor to the show.”

These kind words come months after Holly Marie Combs, 50, claimed on Shannen Doherty’s 'Let’s Be Clear' podcast in December that Alyssa Milano got Doherty fired from the WB show.
“We were told [by Alyssa], it’s her or [Shannen] and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment,” the 'Pretty Little Liars' alum recalled producer Jonathan Levin telling her about Doherty’s departure.
When Doherty left the show after Season 3, she was replaced by Rose McGowan, who played the Halliwells’ long-lost half-sister, Paige Matthews.
