An old feud from the set of Charmed just reared its ugly head again on Shannen Doherty’s podcast, Let’s Be Clear. The 52-year-old actress had her former co-star and BFF Holly Marie Combs on the episode where they discussed how three was a crowd when they starred on The WB series with Alyssa Milano.

The fracture reportedly happened while Combs was hospitalized for surgery to remove a tumor that doctors were concerned about. Doherty accused Milano and her mother of trying “to pull [Combs] away from” even though they were besties. “Hospitals scared me to death. I waited 24 hours after your surgery to go, and then it wasn’t even easy for me to get in. I was, like, being told I couldn’t even get in,” Doherty claimed. “Alyssa and her mom were blocking people from seeing you, and at the time you didn’t know. I remember you texted me, ‘Dude, are you going to come and see me?’”

Combs backed up Doherty’s account of the story and explained, “I think it was pretty obvious I was raised by teenage parents, and I didn’t have a big family, so you’re right when a family swooped in and tried to basically adopt me, it was very seductive for me.” She added that she felt the pressure for “the show to be successful,” and she felt caught in the middle of the feud. “There were no angels, there were no demons,” she added. “We all had bad days, we all had good days. We all could have behaved better at certain points, but there was a lack of awareness of a bigger, broader picture.”

Even though 25 years have passed since the show began, it sounds like there are still a few ruffled feathers to this day. “There was a competitiveness with Alyssa, I heard she talked about it in her book — obviously, I’m never reading her book, because it’s [titled] Sorry Not Sorry,” Doherty said while mentioning Milano’s 2021 memoir. “It tells me you’re not friggin’ sorry. Why even mention something in that case?” It sounds like they struggled being on the ensemble show, which ran from 1998 to 2006, because everyone was jockeying for the spotlight.

Doherty left the show after three seasons due to the tension on set with Milano, and Rose McGowan joined the cast in the fourth season. Milano labeled their relationship as “cordial” in 2021 to Entertainment Tonight, noting, “You know, I could take responsibility for a lot of our tension that we had. I think a lot of our struggle came from feeling that I was in competition rather than it being that sisterhood that the show was so much about. And I have some guilt about my part in that.”
