Shannen Doherty stands by decision to not appear in ‘Charmed’ finale

Shannen Doherty, known for her role in the hit TV show “Charmed,” recently revealed that she would not have returned for the show’s finale even if given the chance. In a candid discussion on her podcast, “Let’s Be Clear With Shannen Doherty,” the actress opened up about the emotional toll of being fired from the show after season 3.

Doherty expressed regret for the fans but explained that returning to the set would have been too painful for her. She claimed that even years later, revisiting the set would have stirred up old wounds and crushed her all over again. The actress also alleged that her co-star Alyssa Milano played a role in her firing, leading to a feud between the two actresses earlier this year.

Despite the ongoing drama, Doherty emphasized the importance of telling the truth, especially in light of her current battle with stage four cancer. She stressed the need for her own narrative to be heard, rather than the version put out by others.

“Charmed,” which originally aired on the WB and later The CW, followed the Halliwell sisters, a trio of good witches fighting evil with their combined powers. After Doherty’s departure, Rose McGowan joined the cast to continue the story of the powerful sisterhood.

Doherty’s honesty and resilience in the face of adversity have garnered support from fans and admirers alike as she continues to navigate her health challenges and speak her truth.
