Shannen Doherty praised Alyssa Milano’s 'great job' in ‘Charmed’ before her death despite their feud
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE: Shannen Doherty, who died from cancer at 53 on July 13, has garnered significant attention across social media platforms after many of her past podcast episodes resurfaced, including one where she discussed how her ashes should be handled after her death.
Recently, another podcast video emerged in which she praised her onscreen sister Alyssa Milano for her work on 'Charmed' before she died. This has captured the interest of fans, as Doherty and Milano had a decades-long feud.
Shannen Doherty spoke about Alyssa Milano before her death
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.”
Alyssa Milano got Shannen Doherty fired from 'Charmed'
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.
