Rumors Behind Doherty's Exit from 'Charmed'
Did Shannen Doherty leave "Charmed" over a feud with her costar Alyssa Milano? That's what an insider told MSNBC's gossip column "The Scoop," adding that the two actresses "couldn't stand to be on the set together." "Shannen gave The WB an ultimatum: 'her or me.' Initially the thinking was that Alyssa was going to go. They were both under contract and had lawyers hashing it out until the last minute, but Shannen overplayed her hand and The WB went with Alyssa instead. She’s much better liked by the cast and staff anyway," says the insider. In addition, a rumored romance between Milano and her co-star Brian Krause, reportedly further angered Doherty, according to the gossip columnist Ted Casablanca. Doherty also ran into trouble on her former gig (and fellow Aaron Spelling-produced series) "Beverly Hills, 90210." Doherty was let go from a leading role on "90210" after four seasons on the show. Officials from The WB were not available for comment. The network officially unvieled (sic) its new fall season today, and executives said they had no doubt Spelling would find a suitable replacement for Doherty. |
Shannen should have known she's always been on thin ice when she wasn't interviewed for the 90210 retrospective when that series ended. In fact, her face was digitally erased from a clip they used that she happened to be in.
