Holly Marie kind of says that R4, but in a nicer way. And she includes herself. It seems Shannen is the one who can’t move on, and maybe it’s out of her own guilt that she’s weirdly projecting on others.

Alyssa and her mom, they were blocking people from seeing you and at the time, you didn't know," Doherty claimed, saying that she even received a text from Holly asking if she was even going to visit her.

That's pretty messed up of Alyssa. And for what it's worth, Alyssa has admitted that she was responsible for a lot of the drama that went down between them.

True, R37, but do you continue to go on about it 20-30 years later? That applies to both Doherty and Milano here. And Doherty is how many years later still dragging Combs into the middle of them. If I was Combs I’d just say you’re both assholes and never talk to or about them again. Combs, though, obviously has some dignity and grace - more than I’d have in this situation.

I listened to the actual podcast. Shannen isn't sitting around stewing over this more than 20 years later. The whole thing is her audio memoir, likely being recorded for posterity before she dies. She plans to talk about everything, the drama on Charmed, the drama on 90210, her divorces, her cancer, etc. This is just the first subject she got to. From hearing them both talk and from other things I've read, I gather the Charmed set was a total shit show from the top down and there was no one really in charge on the set. If anyone on here actually worked on the show, I'd love to hear what it was really like.

R48, someone on DL has routinely said that Alyssa was a bitch to work with and Shannen could be too but that's more because she was stern and takes charge a lot. The writers said they thought she was a pain when she was on the show but that they realized that her choices/suggestions were correct.

Lol R48 Rose McGowan did claim she was once called a stupid bitch (or whore, can't remember the term) by a director in front of the whole crew and cast during season 7 or 8; and that it was one of her most humiliating life experiences as an actress.

by Anonymousreply 54December 12, 2023 8:48 PM

Supposedly Shannen was called a bitch by one of the wrestlers in the “wrestling with demons” episode, which got applause from the crew behind closed doors. So I imagine Shannen wasn’t so pleasant to work with even if she got along well with Holly.

In the podcast, Shannen and Holly both talk about wanting more input into the writing. But Holly also complains that all the scripts got a final polish by Brad Kern, which is why they all ended up sounding the same regardless of who wrote them. I think she’s dead wrong with this criticism. As a viewer, the scripts *should* sound the same. Otherwise you end up with an inconsistent mess on the screen.

R48 I didn’t work on Charmed but an old coworker did. The only story I remember is that Alyssa Milano apparently couldn’t keep her eyes off of Rose McGowan’s tits during scenes. She was either enamored or jealous. I did work with Shannen after Charmed. She’s smart and direct. I could see why she would get the bitch label but I don’t think it’s earned. She’s a true professional.

I mean, the studio stopped listening to her suggestions that the show should go "darker", she quit, then Rose Mcgowan came in and the show lasted another five years just fine.

I get it that season 6 was horrible and the show never fully recovered, but seasons 4 and 5 were perfectly fine, without Shannen's input.

And the Doherty years were actually my favorite, but actors shouldn't be given too much power or control over the script.

by Anonymousreply 62December 12, 2023 10:39 PM

Actors when just actors do not have a say over scripts. If they are given a producer credit they will have more of a say. If you notice as series go on and actors have been on a long time the smart ones ask and usually get nowadays a producer credit giving them more of a say in terms of what goes on. You can tell the level of input they will receive based on the level of producer they are.

An article from 2001:

[quote] Something downright nasty has been percolating on the Charmed set--and I'm not talkin' bat wings or toad heads.

[quote] No, this witchy potion smacks of ingredients far more familiar to the world of Aaron Spelling: two divas, one script and a knock-down-drag-out catfight.

[quote] For months, there have been whisperings about tension between Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano, but until now, no one close to the show would confirm or deny. However, in the past few weeks, as the tension between this diva-ish duo has escalated into a witchy war vicious enough to put the future of the show in peril, the stench from the set is seeping out in full force.

[quote] Among the juiciest morsels: Alyssa is so fed up with Shannen's 'tude she has threatened to leave unless something changes. The producers are doing some serious ass-kissing, trying everything in their power to get their Charmed girl to stay.

[quote] See, the show's founding premise, "The Power of Three," demands that the three sisters work together to fight evil, which has painted the writers into an ugly corner. None of the girls can leave without the show crumbling.

[quote] Although Shannen and Alyssa have repeatedly requested as few scenes together as possible, the producers have no choice but to make the archenemies share the screen. And when they must, my sources say they show up, run through their lines and storm off.

[quote] Why such ugliness? Well, from what I hear, it all began with the show's very first publicity shots, where Shannen insisted on being placed in the center, or above the others, at all times. (One source close to the WB even hinted it was written into her contract.) It seems that while Alyssa and Holly Marie Combs were told it was an ensemble show, Shannen has claimed it as her own since day one.

[quote] Then there's the issue of wardrobe. Although all three girls wear fab threads, it's Shannen who gets the biggest chunk of the wardrobe budget, accepting nothing less than Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and the like. The wardrobe folks spend most of their time finding and reworking duds for the queen bee.

[quote] As for her royal 'tude, let's just say that during a recent taping of the "Wrestling with Demons" episode, one of the pro wrestlers ended up calling the witchy woman a bitch, which later--behind closed doors--garnered wild applause from the tongue-tied crew.

The second half of the interview is out now. Among the notable tidbits:

A mediator was hired due to the tension on the set. Alyssa spoke with him, but Shannen and Holly refused. Alyssa eventually gave producers an "it's her or me" ultimatum and threatened to sue for a hostile work environment. The network felt legally that they had to side with Alyssa because she had documented everything with the mediator.

Holly and Shannen both claim there weren't any major fights, just always lots of tension. There was jealousy over magazine covers, with Shannen having negotiated at the outset that she'd get a certain amount of solo coverage. There was also a pay disparity between Shannen and Alyssa, which producers tried smooth over by making side deals with Alyssa, which created its own set of jealousies. Alyssa and her mom were working on websites at the time and created sites for Holly and Shannen. Shannen had wanted her dad to build her website to keep him busy while he was dealing with health issues and asked them to please take hers down.

When Shannen was fired, Holly told producers she didn't want to continue with the show. They threatened to sue her and to garner wages from future jobs even if she was just bagging groceries. Holly asked them to at least let Shannen put out whatever statement she wanted about her departure.

Shannen had a pay or play deal, meaning she was entitled to be paid while the show ran even if she was no longer on it. She wanted to sue them to honor that deal, but her team thought her career wouldn't survive another public firing. Instead, they convinced her to put out a statement saying she'd quit. Shannen went along with it, but thought it was ridiculous that anyone would really believe she had quit a hit show.

Holly mentions that Brian Krause was dating Alyssa and was privy to everything she was doing behind the scenes to have Shannen ousted. He recently apologized to Holly for how difficult that time must have been for her.

Listening to the podcast was interesting, but it was also very obviously one sided and little bit of revisionist history. Shannen repeatedly says how much she loved working on the show, but during the previous episode she said she cried every night of season 2. How much can you love a job that makes you cry every night? She also says Alyssa was upset about a very minor pay difference, but how minor could it have really been if producers felt obligated to compensate Alyssa with side deals? She also says that she and her team spoke with producers to tell them the side deals were "not okay" but doesn't say more than that. But I'm assuming she had her own jealousies and wanted a piece of whatever Alyssa was getting. She also says she wanted to sue to get them to honor the pay or play deal, but never actually says it wasn't honored, which makes me wonder if she ended up with a financial windfall in the end.

I remember hearing after Shannen left that the set was still not a great place to work, but that it was much better. I'd love to hear Alyssa's side of things, though. For example, Shannen says that Alyssa documented everything that happened by speaking with the mediator and that Alyssa also threatened to sue. Objectively speaking, that means things were happening to Alyssa that were serious enough to warrant documenting and serious enough that the network was scared of an actual lawsuit. That ain't nothing. Also, Holly mentions Shannen being fired from 90210 for "being late" but if you were around in the early '90s you know the issues with Shannen ran a lot deeper than that. There was literal hair pulling and fist fights happening.

For example, Holly says that the crew all loved Shannen, but there's a story posted above about the crew applauding when a guest star called Shannen a bitch. They also blame the choice to fire Shannen and keep Alyssa solely on legal maneuvering by Alyssa, but if Alyssa was the source of all the drama behind the scenes I'm sure they'd have found a way to dump Alyssa.

One funny part of the podcast is when they talk about a potential reboot and the idea of running around in heels again. Holly says that the kids and grandkids can be the ones to run around in heels and then cracks "Drew [Fuller] wears heels just fine." Which is hilarious given how much Drew Fuller has always pinged.

I can’t believe there was so much drama for a stupid show like Charmed. I mean…was anything on that show worth all of this shit?

That's the other thing that's hilarious. I get that Charmed has a passionate following, but it was also schlock at the end of the day. To hear Holly and Shannen talk about it, though, you'd think they were making Shakespeare. I remember Rose calling out Alyssa for saying "they don't pay me enough for this shit." But at least Alyssa was realistic about what they were making.

It amazes me that anyone over 11 watched that show, yet plenty of my friends did and were really into it. Shannen's serious/tough expression in the major publicity pic was enough to put me off.

Alyssa dated Brian Krause and Eric Dane. Shannen dated Julian McMahon. I think Holly dated someone on the crew. Rose didn’t date anyone during the show because she was too traumatized from having her pussy eaten by Harvey Weinstein.

Julian McMahon was a HOT PIECE. She really had some of the hottest men in HoWo.

Never saw McMahon's appeal. He was a total famewhore when with Dannii Minogue and after dumping her: Giving the Australian tabloids constant interviews, selling the pics of their wedding and even doing interviews and photo shoots on their honeymoon! Anything to get the cover of Woman's Day, trash mag from hell!

His head is so wide, he looks like he could have fathered Paris Hilton's son! Their wedding only made the cover of Woman's Day because Kylie was on the cover with them!

Super interesting gossip R114.

Not sure I believe them though, because I remember that back in 2007/2008 Shannen Doherty had an official website that I used to access, full of pictures, and clippings of old interviews and articles about her.

There was a clipping of an interview from August of 2001, which Shannen regarded as one of her most honest interviews ever, where she hinted strongly that she hadn't been fired from Charmed, but had decided to quit instead, and her reason for quitting was the fact that they wouldn't let her have creative control over her character.

Not only that, but she even went into great detail about how the executives of Spelling productions/paramount and the WB told her they were going to destroy her career and sue the crap out of her once she informed them she was not going to renew her contract for a fourth season; she said they tried to mislead her into believing she could not legally do that.

But then she hired a lawyer in December of 2000 and took the case to court, she claimed that about a month later, in early 2001 when she was shooting a movie 🎥 with Julie McMahon in Canada, she received a very cold phone call from the WB or Spelling productions people letting her know that she "had won" and was going to get written out of the show.

She said that when her final day on set came, she didn't get any flowers nor a thank you note, nothing at all and the entire crew seemed upset at her.

--------

If what Holly said is true, then would Alyssa actually have had all that power and won a duel against Doherty? Specially when Doherty was the first to be cast and the main lead? Shannen herself admitted she was getting payed more than the other actresses.

Something tells me that if Alyssa had pulled out that kind of bullshit, she was the one who would have gotten fired,because even though she was very popular, she was playing the weakest witch of all four main characters and Aaron Spelling had personally invited Shannen himself for this show.

Why would Shannen have crafted such a detailed and convincing lie about quitting if that hadn't been the case?

_______________

One other thing,Alyssa was asked about that back in 2013 and she seemed VERY honest when she said that Shannen and her didn't get along, but she still didn't know if Shannen had actually been fired or had quit the show, and she implied that none of the other cast members knew what had happened between Shannen and the executive producers that lead to that decision.

All that she recalled was that one day she arrived on the set to shoot an episode and she and the rest of the cast were informed right away that they were going to "let Shannen go" and that no one quite understood what was going on.

Of course celebrities lie all the fucking time, but Alyssa seemed like she was being honest when she explained Shannen's departure from the show.

Have already said this, but Ben Affleck worked with Alyssa then Shannen back in 1995, then in 1998 he worked with Rose McGowan.

Excerpt from Alyssa's book:

Yes, we knew early on that Danny Pintauro was a fagela. He spent more time on his back than me. But, I loved him. He was no lopsided titty bitch on wheels like someone I know.

So, all along, Alyssa has been the bitch, and Shannen has just been a Karen.

Take the Shannen podcast with a grain of salt. It is their perspective of events with certain facts sprinkled in. It's not necessarily what was completely going on. I still don't see the real story 100% out there, anywhere. Has 65% of it been told. Yep. But not the important part. Do believe everything you listen to on this topic.

R128, “payed” is a nice touch.

by Anonymousreply 136December 22, 2023 8:46 AM

On the podcast, Shannen admitted that her people told her to say that she quit because her career wouldn't survive another firing. She says that she laughed at the suggestion because "Nobody would believe that I quit this show after three seasons." Also, it was more than "She stays or I go," Milano got the WB's HR department (she would constantly complain AND have it documented) and got lawyers involved. She and her mother went straight Machiavellian to get rid of Shannen and then threatened to sue the network. Holly admitted to staying the FUCK out of it because she was just glad to be there. I love me some HMC.

After all this time, I figured Doherty was the pain BUT I found this podcast straightforward and honest with HMC confirming everything. What really got me reassessing was an interview with S and HMC while they were promoting that reality show. The host asked what happened behind the scenes and Holly--CLEARLY tired of IT-- put a bow on it by saying "Look, why are we STILL talking about THIS. One day we were her friends and the next day we weren't." That was pretty telling.

ANYWAY...I am SO fascinated by behind-the-scenes shit. I think it started when I learned that Penny M and Cindy Williams hated each other while they were on set.

So I gather Shannen dug her own grave here?

NDAs are not that tight. I dealt with a vindictive former employee who signed one and she just got other people to do her bidding and we were powerless to take action.

You’re making it sound like the CIA.

R137 100% what I was gonna say. Shannen was told to say she quit. It makes 100% sense. Getting fired twice from high profile roles = career suicide. No one will work with you now because they will assume you’re a problem on set.

[quote] She was Heather Duke, and her look up from Moby Dick in the opening credits was one of the few moments where gayling me felt an attraction to a woman.

I was absolutely fascinated with her in 1999-2000 and didn't understand, at the time, that it was the little lesbian in me just being a lesbian already - she was so attractive, as you said, and I couldn't take my eyes off her.
