Shannen Doherty Recalls 'Difficult' Beverly Hills, 90210 Firing With Jason Priestley

[@_dakota_298]

I think it's really important that Shannen is able to talk about the past and have a closure with the other cast members.

[@jm7804]

She was still a teenager when 90210 started. How many of us screwed up jobs when we were teenagers? One of the seasoned vets should've pulled her aside and had a come to Jesus conversation. Everyone suffered because the show was not as good once she left.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

@@jm7804 I find it hard to believe no one did. There were casting people brought to the set when she was behaving badly who had to talk her down. She had an agent, a manager, not to mention her mother had to know what was going on. She had been acting since she was little. She had to know there were ramifications. Perhaps she just wasn’t really listening. Perhaps she was believing herself above it all and bound for bigger and better things. A-List movie roles. She knew she was creating chaos. She just didn’t care.

We’ve all seen the photos of her partying with Tori Spelling, BRIAN Austin Greene and Mark Wahlberg.

Luke left for unknown reason then they sent her character to France then the Walsh parents divorced for some reason and the cast was scattered with their own separate storylines. The writing was all over the place without the loveable charm of the gang. Fans bailed and didn't last much longer. Part of what made Friends such a highly watched show that lasted so long was they kept their 6 key characters together for the full run.

[@moviefan4life166]

For sure. The issue was her being late in season 4. She was very reliable for seasons 1-3 but when she married a drug addict, her life turned upside down. How she must regret that decision that resulted in a quick divorce and losing her job. She has owned it, but she did say she wished there was a moment when someone said this can’t continue, one more time and you’re outta here. Her father was very sick and some of the reason she was late was because he was in the hospital. To her credit she never listed any of this to the powers that be. She was not a complainer and she probably should have shared what she was going through. When Jason was on the podcast he said he wished he knew what Shan was going through because he could have done something to stick up for her and fix this. The cast had no idea and some of them were very intolerant of what was going on. It’s a pity because that’s when her career became blemished. Aaron Spelling knew she was a great actress and that’s why he cast her as the lead a few years later in charmed. Even with that Blemish, Shan did have the best career and was the best actor in the bunch.

[@jonfreeman9682]

@@moviefan4life166 Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that. She never explained why and back then there was no internet or social media so nobody knew what was going on. She went off to study abroad then the Walsh divorced so everyone just figured it was salary dispute so they were written off the show.

I didn't watch the show, but she was also in the tabloids for her behavior and life outside of the show. Then similar types of stories popped up when she acted on a different show, again leaving the cast abruptly. I rarely trust tabloids, but I did see an interview with a landlord that was suing her or unpaid rent and because she damaged his rental property. He showed pictures of a filthy house that had dog excrement, stained carpet, filth and garbage left behind etc. It didn't help her reputation for being problematic. That story stuck out in my mind because I thought that someone with money could get an assistant to pay bills, dog walkers for pets, and maids to keep the house clean.

Look at comicon from this month and watch Jennie Garth saying the show went downhill after Shannen left and how she wishes Shannen stayed. This speaks volumes. Shan always had great relationships with all of the guys on the show and is best friends with Ian and Brian Austin Greene, and was close with Luke and discussing a show he personally wanted to do with her. Brian Austin Greene said he did the same things Shan did and was never let go. He didn’t even have to audition for the show. Shan was a child star who had to financially support her family because he dad had very serious health problems. She had huge amounts of pressure on her since she was a kid. When Winona Ryder was asked about Shannen on Heathers she said she seemed very hard working and was always practicing her during the shoot. Everyone minus Alyssa liked and respected her on Charmed. Anyssa has owned that she was insecure and wished she didn’t view Shan as a competitor. Alyssa only came on charmed because another actress pulled out and she always felt like second choice and her ego wanted. To be the star and get first on the credits. She got what she wanted. All of the stars and staff on Charmed confirmed this. Shan was a very hard worker with high standards and was directing episodes. Alyssa meanwhile had a toxic mother who tried to sever the friendship between Holly and Shan. Holly and Shan are very tight and Alyssa is not friends with any of the cast nor will she appear with any of the cast at events because they all cannot stand her. Meanwhile the full cast of 90210 are all embracing and enjoying Shan. I’ve had interactions with her and can she she’s always been sweet and seems to have a very good sense of humor.

Yes, they wanted to get rid of her for awhile on that show and I believe that they pondered recasting Tiffani Thiessen as the new Brenda initially. Tiffani was immensely popular on "Saved By the Bell." I feel bad about her current predicament, but Shannon caused a lot of drama back in those days. It was in the media everyday back then and it did contribute to the popularity of "90210" back then.

*affected* ... not effected

[@sensimania]

I dunno.... Hollywood aren't exactly known for having HR departments or employment/disciplinary policies (other than a contract for the show they're working on), especially back in the 80s/90s. Also, actors are self employed, which would make them contractors (rather than full time employees) - which is also why they need an agent and their own accountant. I'm a contractor, and although not the same industry, I'm guessing the less tolerant terms of contract (compared to permanent employees) applies to contractors in any industry. There are clauses in our contracts which states that the "end client" (employer) is entitled to abruptly end the contract whenever they want. It also usually states that if the contractor wants to leave they only need to give 1-2 weeks notice (rather than a month that full time employees are expected to give). I've witnessed my contractor coworkers be asked to leave without warning due to continuous lateness and/or too many sick days.

[@moviefan4life166]

Not really. She’s done 90210 new series with Jennie Garth quite a few years ago in the next gen version, and she did the 90210 reboot with the cast a few years ago. She’s got a nice relationship with everyone on 90210 these days. Bottom line they all regret her leaving and Jennie Garth said so at the April Comicon where the two sat next to each other and were very supportive of one another. As for charmed, the cast all dislike Alyssa. That’s why she is the only one who won’t appear with them because she was toxic and still seems to be based on messages Holly mentioned she recently received. Hollywood sucks. Women are made to compete and not until these women are older do they seem to find real peace.

Shannen Doherty says she cried “every single night” while filming Season Two of “Charmed.” During the week episode of her podcast, “Let’s Be Clear With Shannen Doherty,”the 52-year-old spoke with former co-star Holly Marie Combs about behind-the-scenes tension on the early 2000s hit specifically the”lack of female support” with Alyssa Milano. During the first season of Charmed, Combs underwent surgery to remove a uterine tumor, which brought filming to a temporary stop. Doherty explained on her podcast that she tried to visit her friend and fellow actor in the hospital post procedure, but said Milano got in the way.”I waited 24 hours after your surgery to go, and then it wasn’t even easy for me to get in. I was being told I couldn’t even get in by Alyssa and her mom,"Doherty said. "They were blocking people from seeing you but at the time, you didn't know.” Following the situation at the hospital, Doherty and Combs, 50, experienced a strain in their relationship that led into the next season of the show. I remembered you texted me and were like, ‘Dude, are you going to come and see me? And I can feel your pain of feeling like I’d abandoned you,” Doherty said to Combs.”But I also felt like my anger at the situation of not being allowed to come see you, and how sort of family had swooped in and caused this sort of weird divide between the two of us that then continued throughout Season 2 where I cried every single night.TODAY” reached out to Milano about Doherty’s podcast remarks but did not receive a response. As the original “power of three” sisters on the show, Doherty played Prue, Combs portrayed Piper and Milano took on Phoebe, all of whom discovered that they were witches. After 3 seasons, Doherty left “Charmed"and was replaced by Rose McGowan’s character, Paige. Doherty previously attributed her departure to according to ET interview.”There was too much drama on the set and not enough passion for the work,”she said at the time. Milano addressed her co-star's departure in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying, I’m very laid-back and passive. I have my Buddha. I come in here and meditate (Shannen has) got a lot of energy, she’s very headstrong, she wants to get the job done. But 20 years later, Milano told ET in a 2021 interview that the two of them were on better terms. Shannen said hinted during this week's episode of her podcast that she doesn't expect a reconciliation with Milano any time soon.”I heard that she addressed it the competitiveness in her book,"Doherty said, referring to Milano’s 2021 book "Sorry Not Sorry."”Obviously, I’m never reading her book because it’s (called) "Sorry, Not Sorry." So right there, you know, it tells me you’re not freaking sorry. When Doherty asked her about her take on the drama surrounding Season Two, Combs took a rather neutral position, but didn't shy away from admitting there was tension. Combs said Doherty, was fired despite from the show despite saying she quit after its third season. Combs also recalled a conversation she had with”Charmed" producer Jonathan Levin, who allegedly told her that Milano threatened to sue for hostile workplace environment if Doherty wasn't fired from the show. He said, you know, We're basically in a position where it's one or the other. We were told [by Alyssal that it's Shannen or me, and Alyssa has threatened to sue us if we didn’t fire Shannen. Well, like my parents used to tell me “its not everybody else its you!"So when Shannon, Holly and Rose have all come out and said Alyssa a B...l'm going to say that girl is probably a B. It appears the real Book of Shadows has finally been un-veiled.

Yeah it was also Alyssa’s fault that everyone got sick of Shannen on the set of 90210 and wanted her fired. And earlier than that, when 90210 was brand new and casting for Brenda and considering Shannen, casting director Joanna Ray received a call from a producer saying “whatever you do, do not hire that girl.” Yup that was all Alyssa too.

[@gchsbus]

IF YOU LOOK AT HER DURING THE INTERVIEW, her face looks so fatigued for being sick for so long and she caked herself with makeup to try and cover it up. Plus, you can tell she is wearing a Whig. Lets be clear. Most celebrities going through what she did and was currently dealing with would drop out of the spotlight because they would want to be remembered for how they used to look. Shannen still wanted to be out there and that makes her so strong. She had things to express and say. She didn't care how sick she was. I find that so amazing.

[@TheRetroGuy2000]

I don't understand why she thought she deserved a stern talking to when she showed up late for work and also clashed with co-workers. Shannen developed a bad reputation and was fired from job after job, was arrested multiple times, was married or engaged ten times, and caused chaos on multiple sets. As talented as she was (and she clearly was), she surrounded herself with drama. No amount of lectures would have changed her bad on-set attitude, and we know this because she was fired from multiple shows: she never learned.

[@TwilightxKnight13]

I wasn't the biggest Shannen fan, but I was a fan of 90210 and Charmed. You rarely get the real story about celebrities, but I decided that the storyies about her attitude had to be true when she was fired from Charmed. It was clear she was a diva and did not learn her lesson after 90210. That being said, I do not wish cancer on anyone and it is a terrible shame what she has had to endure and what is coming. No one deserves her fate.

[@flagler88]

Shannon made life difficult during 90210 but it has become clear Alyssa Milano was the issue on Charmed and is largely why Shannon got fired. Holly Marie Combs has told the truth about that. Alyssa was the problem and told the producers either she goes or Shannon goes and if they fire her (Alyssa) she would sue them. She basically backed them into a corner.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

@@flagler88 That’s not accurate. There were a lot of problems on the Charmed set. The producers helped create some of the toxicity there, both Shannen and Holly have confirmed that. Alyssa and Shannen got along at first but by the second-third season they didn’t. Alyssa may very well have been a diva in her own way but that doesn’t mean it was all on her. Shannen played her own part in how that played out. She was frequently butting heads with production and they eventually got tired of her. Whether or not the story is true that Alyssa issued an ultimatum to the show (“either she goes or I go”) it’s only Holly telling us that one producer told her that. There’s no way I’ll ever believe after the havoc Shannen stirred up on the 90210 set that just a few short years later on Charmed she was suddenly a different person and behaved like an angel.

They’ve since patched things up apparently but there were more issues between all these women than just one person. Oh and Holly even admitted that there was friction between her and Shannen on the Charmed set. Oh sure but it was all Alyssa being the problem on Charmed. B.S.

Shan was responsible but after 4 hit seasons, she was the lead and should have at least been told one more time and the done. There was mixed feelings about this because none of the guys wanted her off the show. Tori was friends with Shan and Jennie and Jennie was really not happy with things. Tori told her father he needs to do something and that’s what happened.

Honestly I think it is also her fault for being unprofessional. Being late on the set is what made her loose her job. I understand she had problems with her personal life but she is not the only one that has a personal problem. She is bringing her problems at work. Sometimes if u really care about your job then she needs to be professional and not have an attitude. They fired her because she had an attitude. No need for some one to tell you that you will be axed if u are always late. You already know you will be terminated. She already created drama with everybody she already knows. Then she got another chance at the show Charmed but did not get a long with Alyssa Milano well maybe she is the one with a problem. I really don't know what really get on the set but it seems like she is always not getting a long with her colleagues. It's always something with her. No offense that is what I see. Now she is sick with cancer is it really necessary to talk about these issues from the past. In times like this she should just focus on close friends and families that cares about her. She doesn't need to rant about her past and issues and have everybody to sympathize with her. The past is over. She can't get it back to make it right!! because she too have an attitude and thr damage is done. I am sure some people have moved on. The only thing she needs to do is move on and focus more on living your life. What she is doing is making a fool of herself. Let go of the past and move on. Talking about the past is only going to make her look sad and pitiful. Why talk about her funeral? Does it matter?? If they come they come can u stop these people from going to pay their respect but really she is worried about that?? It is sad that she is using publicity for this. It's not going to make her better.

Have you never experienced a turmoil in your personal life that went on for weeks or months, and caused you to not be able to sleep properly for an extended period of time? Sometimes it's really hard to share the details of such difficult experiences at work so that they understand what is going on with you. I had something like this happen when my mother had a relapse in her bipolar condition and she came to live with me for six weeks. I lived alone and had no support from health professionals for her mental health condition. The turmoil was extremely upsetting and I had difficulty sleeping during that time. Unfortunately at the same time, something was going on at work that was unusual and stressful as well. I simply could not manage both situations and had no one to confide in. That time in my life pushed me to my limits, and I ended up losing my job. It was a horrible situation. I wish I had taken a leave of absence, but I didn't think of it at the time.

I honestly hope you were there to make that comment.

She should have taken herself out of the situation by requesting a leave of absence from her job so she could resolve things in her personal life. Sometimes young people don't know how to reach out for help when life becomes overwhelming. It happened to me, and I lost my job at a stressful time in my personal life. I told no one what was going on but that was a mistake.

[@suzannec8400]

@@NLR759 to be fair she actually said that in the podcast

[@dbztrk]

If you actually listened to her podcast, you would know that she has taken accountability for her behavior. You just don't want to hear the FULL story. There are multiple sides to every story and then there is the truth. Also keep in mind none of them including Jennie and Tori were angels on set. None of them to my knowledge have acknowledged their bad behavior. Especially Jennie regarding her poor treatment of Brian's then girlfriend Vanessa Marcil. @@sarahs8110

Movies and TV are big business. Having the cast & crew (sometimes 30 or 40 people+) wait on a single actor is incredibly expensive. These are union shows and there are limits on hours worked, mandated breaks, etc. etc. You add up what these people are making and she was easily costing them tens of thousands of dollars an hour of lost production time. I don't even work in the industry and I know this. How did she not? Call Sheets have the time the actor needs to be on set, and they calculate the day's shooting schedule based on that. There is no asterisk by anyone's name that says "Or whenever they feel like showing up."

I am waiting for Shannon and Alyssa to have a sit down. We need this to happen asap

She made my childhood happy watching her as Brenda

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like Shannen may still be carrying a lot of resentment & animosity towards the past. Don’t get me wrong, I loved her as an actress, when she starred in both BH 90210 & Charmed; but she was fired from both for a reason. I pray that God rid her of this terrible disease soon. With that said, I hope she can take some responsibility for some of the things that went wrong with her past. I hope she can forgive; let go of the resentment & animosity. I hope she can find peace and finally move on from all of it.

[@moviefan4life166]

Well when 90% of it is fake tabloid reporting and you take your career seriously and fans of both shows ask you what really happened for 30 years….i get why she wants to be real. She had to eve face and just say she moved on all this time. She’s always been direct and clear.

[@franciscomartinez514]

I’m sorry but after Shannon got fired from Charmed the show just wasn’t the same ❤❤❤

[@sabrinay9430]

She was the best actress out of all of them. I loved her TV movies too.
