Shannen Doherty’s final words on bitter feud just days before death
Just days before she died, Shannen Doherty shared some surprising words on her co-star Alyssa Milano.
Shannen Doherty was locked in a bitter feud with Alyssa Milano for years, however just days before she died her final words regarding the star may come as a surprise to fans.
Prior to her passing, the Charmed star, who played Prue Halliwell in the 90s supernatural series, recorded an episode of The House of Halliwell podcast with co-star Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper Halliwell.
During the episode, released Tuesday, Doherty reflected on actress Lori Rom filming an unaired pilot as the third Halliwell sister, Phoebe, before the role was ultimately given 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 explained 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 went on to share that while she seemingly preferred Rom’s performance, Milano did a “great job”.
“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 flavour to the show.”
The kind words come months after Combs, 50, claimed on Doherty’s Let’s Be Clear podcast in December that Milano got the late actress 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 star recalled producer Jonathan Levin telling her about Doherty’s exit.
On Sunday, Milano, 51, shared her condolences after Doherty’s death, telling Page Six, “It’s no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of.
“She was a talented actress, beloved by many, and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her.”
Meanwhile, it’s also been revealed that the iconic TV star was struggling so much that she had been forced to take out an unconventional $3 million mortgage and an $150,000 (AU$222,820) bank loan while fighting her aggressive cancer.
