Shannen and Alyssa had a lot of great scenes together as Prue and Phoebe, in their three years together on the show. So even if they didn't get along in real life, they did a great job playing their characters and making an entertaining show for us to watch, and I think that's what really matters.

[@DavidDJ-2000]

@Sprightly - True but I think this interview was done very early in the production of the series. In other words, this interview was done when Shannen and Alyssa still got along.

[@wisemandaryn5953]

To be fair, there were many influences that led to Shannen's departure. Years after Shannen's involvement and following the end of the series, Holly has been somewhat outspoken with regard to a number of factors that led to the outcome. If every detail were to have been shared at the time, it would have been blown out of proportion. Constance Burge's acrimonious departure, Brad Kern's elevated involvement, creative differences with many male directors/producers, and Paramount's sudden manuever to provide the set with a mediator contributed to the on-set environment. Just prior to the end of the series, Brad Kern wrote an eight page letter to Shannen in an effort bring Prue back; this was going to be for the series finale. Shannen's decision hinged upon the writing -- the narrative had to be compelling enough to warrant a return, but obviously Kern didn't provide an adequate treatment for the idea.

I think you can clearly see that Alyssa is kinda isolated from the other two and she seems bored, but i also believe that it's understandable, her character power back then were pretty basic and maybe she was a little jelous cause she didn't have anything "cool" to say about it... anyway, i always hate the fact that Prue didn't appear as a ghost while other family members did, especially in the final, i think they could've get her for at least one scene, but maybe Shannen didn't wanted to... too bad, i still hope in a film with all of them together with Rose for the power of four, i always imagined how would it be for Paige to meet Prue. Even if i hate her death i'm glad that Piper took her place, without her everything would've simply collapsed.

As far as I know, Shannen and Alyssa got along up until the third season. You could tell that something was off after a couple of episodes. The scenes between Phoebe and Prue felt colder and colder and not real anymore in comparison to the first few episodes of season 3 and every single episode of season 1 ans 2 in which they actually behaved like real sisters. Then Paige stepped in and took on responsibility quite fast only to be ruined at the start of season 5... I'm glad that they were able to recreate that sisterly bond-feeling in season 7 a tiny little bit. And in an interview not quite long ago, Alyssa stated that she and Shannen already had mend fences since Shannen was diagnosed with cancer. I wish we'd see all four of the actresses on screen together, but now it's Alyssa Milano vs. Rose McGowan I guess...

[@COSMICCFREQUENCY144]

Shannen and Holly were real life friends, Holly only got the job because Shannen told the production company she wouldn’t do It without her. However at the time Alyssa Milano and Shannen had the star power, both were on very popular shows “Who’s the boss” and 90210. Which is probably where alot of the tension came from. If you all remember there was another actress picked to play Phoebe until she dropped out, at that point the show would’ve been focused on Shannen with her being top billing and the top star. Once Alyssa was recasted after the pilot all of that shifted, the star playing field was now balanced which is essentially what created some of the drama

By season 3 it was Alyssa in full attack mode getting Shan fired because she wanted to be the star and first on the credits. She’s admitted she was jealous and wished her insecurities didn’t cause her to do what she did. The whole cast exposed it in recent times. Holly doesn’t bash anyone and boy did she have some disturbing views of Alyssa as a two faced woman and stated it was all about power and Alyssa’s need to be number 1. Oh well.

Yall peep Alyssa roll her eyes when Shannon said “I kinda did” about using her character power for everyday things. Nch...yikes. I really feel like she pushed for all those random extra powers when she was with Cole during the show behind the scenes. I always thought Phoebe was the weakest sister/character written. She’s a psychic but oblivious to most things/danger? Never once psychically sensed Cole was still evil? I know it’s for plot but, eh, so many diff directions to go.

[@ScribblebytesWorldwide]

Actually, if it wasn't for Phoebe using her emotional powers which made Cole fall in love with her, he would have killed them in season 2. Phoebe actually saved them. If you notice also in Apocalypse Not, she flirts with one of the other demons and he flirts with her back. Phoebe's power is more than just being psychic, she's not only an empathy but she can manipulate emotions. In the 7 deadly sins episode she was lust. The lessons that come with her power is emotional control and not being swept up by emotions. She even gets punished by the Elders at one point for it. Phoebe is probably the best written character on the show.

[@michaelokeefe1649]

@@ScribblebytesWorldwide I know what her empath powers are. I see it more as their unhealthy love for each other, and her leaning towards bad growing up, and her pattern of choosing evil (remember her past life) blinded her and her psychic powers completely. The ones she had the longest and first. The ones which at some point should have grown in season 4 from "I touch and get visions" to "I just get visions". She was literally impregnated by him while he and the Seer manipulated the literal "I touch you and me and my sisters are visually warned from danged" Charmed one into being the queen of all evil? Not magically, which is where I checked out writing was. I love Phoebe, but I personally consider her the weakest of the four.

[@ScribblebytesWorldwide]

@@michaelokeefe1649 I appreciate your view. We don't have to agree. That's why its such great writing! All I'm saying is, if t wasn't for Phoebe, Cole would have ended the Charmed Ones because he was waaaaaaaaaay more powerful than them as a half human half demon. The Charmed Ones magic would never have worked on him without Phoebe "attacking" his human side by falling in love with him. Whenever the Charmed Ones were magically stumped, they'd call in Cole for help because he was just magically superior. He even became an Avatar and manipulated timelines (even Tempus couldn't do that). Her power wasn't wild with VFX but from a writing point of view it was solid. I can't tell you how many times I've used that same trick to get outta trouble.

[@PittsburghSportsFan43]

Ooft, anyone else getting mean girl vibes from the way Shannen leans into Holly and scowls during Alyssa’s turn? I read it was petty and immature nastiness between them all behind the scenes but you can really see it here, wow.

[@sergioasanmiguel]

How did Shannen know about her astral projection power already? It's clear this interview was filmed early in the first season. Is it possible that the producers wanted to bring her new power on season 1?

[@PittsburghSportsFan43]

Well I think she got it pretty early in season 2 so maybe they were talking about it that soon. Or maybe it was planned all along, that their powers would grow and they had an idea for what that would be.

[@flawlesscurl9166]

​@@PittsburghSportsFan43she got it in miss hellfire episode

[@dust2k13]

Apparently they had quite a good plan on the development of the show and where it was supposed to go. From what I've heard the plan was for Charmed to have five Seasons with the Source vanquish being the series finale. (I think they even had the idea at a very early point that one Sister was supposed to go over to the darkside for some episodes.) Shannen leaving, Rose coming in and the Shows popularity caused quite a change of plans and a lot of reasons why the continuity of Charmed was such a mess in the later Seasons.

@@dust2k13 as a fan who seen the series since season 1 , I agree season 1-5 are good ...6 -8 not really. I like the final episode tho. They wrapped it up nicely

[@mightybitchy]

@@flawlesscurl9166Season 1 to 3, are the best. Season 4 is a good transition season. Season 5 and 6 are both equally good and bad. Season 7 is where the show rose from its ashes and self destroyed afterwards. Season 8 will always be my least favorite.

[@franciscomartinez514]

You can definitely see the awkwardness between Shannen and Alyssa so sad that he had to be that way and you can tell holly was in the middle of it but all three of them are super talented actresses no shade to the others but I think Alyssa Milano is stunning even till this day she is gorgeous!!

[@daniellelawman9724]

It's called plastic surgery

[@emmad.176]

Well said :) Yeah, they're all super- talented and gorgeous but Phoebe was just so beautiful and amazing to me when I was young :) Holly and Shannen were already friends before the show started and I guess add to that personalities clashing and it just didn't go very well for Alyssa and Shannen, unfortunately, and Holly was stuck in the middle. I did hear that Alyssa reached out to Shannen and apologised for her part of the feud though, so that's nice.

[@kimmchale7911]

Shannon is definately the most beautiful of them all! 😍

[@moviefan4life166]

Michale. Agreed. Shannen was simply stunning. She was the best actress on 90210 and charmed and truly why each became such a big success. Her looks were mesmerizing.

I still remember when i saw the announcement on ET about this show i knew for many reasons this was a show for me!😭

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

When Alyssa reminded Shannen about the creamer as an example of Prue using her powers for day to day things, Shannen looked at her like she had no idea what Alyssa was talking about. Behind that hesitant “yeah” was “huh?”

[@doddo500]

It's been so many years and I still don't accept that Shannen has left the cast. how much I would have liked the three of them to have remained together forever, how wonderful it would have been to see the evolution of the character of bow over the course of all the seasons. this is an injustice. shannen was wrong to go away !!!!!

[@tatik8682]

"shannen was wrong to go away" that sentence is incorrect. It should be "Brad Kern was wrong for firing Shannen". I'd say it's less of "wish Shannen stayed" and more of "if the series stayed forever the way it was in the first 3 seasons". But it didn't, and if Prue was in seasons 4-8 the quality of those seasons would have tarnished her character as well. She'd be the woman that was awesome at first, but then became a grating loony along with the other 2.

[@doddo500]

@@tatik8682 I would prefer fewer seasons but at least with the presence of prue. I'm an Italian fan so I'm not sure what the real reasons are. in a conference she shannen she said that she was tired of living the same role, she wanted to change and therefore decided to

[@tatik8682]

@@doddo500 "would prefer fewer seasons" I see what you mean. In my head, "Charmed" was a 3 seasons show that ended in tragedy. And then there was a shitty sequel that lasted 5 seasons by itself. Also, Shannen not liking to play the same character and wanting to change, would have likely meant that if Shannen stayed, she'd insist Prue changes personality and becomes a completely different person in seasons 4-8 than she was in 1-3.

[@doddo500]

@@tatik8682 you are completely right, even for me charmed ended with the third season. I would have liked at least one last series with prue at least the series would have ended well. correct me if I'm wrong: shannen wanted to evolve but brad kern recorder didn't want to? did she go like this? here in Italy it is difficult to understand what happened, thanks for these explanations

[@MaxCharmed]

Shannen is sorry she left too. She regrets that and she's said that several times. So yeah. She said it was childish of her and that she wasn't mature enough to have a kind of perspective and let silly things go instead of getting angry about them.

0:52 Wait, if this was shot in 1998 was Shannen talking about "Which Prue is it anyway?" or Season 2? Did she know that Prue's power will advance to Astral Projection even during Season 1?

[@disconnected9765]

I‘m sure she was talking about astral projection. I mean she was talking about their active powers and if she was talking about the episode „WPIIA“ she would have said „I‘ll be able to be at three places at one time“ plus she excluded the other Witches but they are able to multiply themselves too using a spell. I‘m sure she knew.

[@LeemWills]

astral projection

[@SprightlyValentino]

Constance M. Burge was the creator of Charmed and the executive producer for the first 2 seasons, so I imagine she probably had lots of things planned out in advance. Also Shannen has said that playing the same character for a long time gets boring for her, so I bet she was promised her character would have another power down the line in order to keep things interesting. She was considered the big star of the show when it first started out, so I imagine she wanted certain things, stated that she wanted them, and got them.

[@mightybitchy]

@@disconnected9765 I think it was shot between 1x09 and 1x12, so it showed how focused writing was back then. I miss that. How old shows had the whole series planned out from the beginning. And didn’t let fans, politics and medias, influenced scripts/plots.

@@BoucheronsNo.1Fan I know Shannen and Holly had been friends well before working together on the show. Shannen got her the job. I'm talking about Holly and Alyssa's relationship which didn't become fractured until season 3 when she decided to side with Shannen in the fued. Holly and Alyssa were extremely close in season 1 and 2, and after Shannen left they became close again. Holly and Alyssa lived up the street from one another. They kept their horses at the same ranch. Holly spent Sundays with Alyssa's family. Alyssa's mom bought Holly a dog for a wedding gift. During filming of season 1, Holly got sick and was in the hospital for awhile. She said Alyssa and her mom would come and bring her food. She also said Alyssa would climb into her hospital bed with her.
