Former co-stars remember Shannen Doherty after her passing
Following her death, Doherty is being remembered by her former colleagues on Beverly Hills, 90210. Jennie Garth, who played Kelly Taylor, mourned, “Our connection was real and honest,” adding, “We were so often pitted against each other, but none of that reflected the truth of our real relationship, which was one built on mutual respect and admiration.” This is in reference to rumors of the cast not getting along with Doherty. Kelly accompanied her tribute with a throwback photo.

Doherty left Charmed after a whirlwind falling out that is still debated today, with some reports suggesting Alyssa Milano got Doherty fired in a grim ultimatum with producers. However, Milano, who played Doherty’s sister, Phoebe, was quick to remember her co-star after Doherty’s passing.
“It’s no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship,” Milano acknowledged in a statement shared to Fox News Digital, “but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of. She was a talented actress, beloved by many and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her.”
Rose McGowan replaced Prue, not taking over the role but rather playing the half-sister to the original trio, Paige Matthews. She, too, paid homage to Doherty. “A true lion heart,” McGowan praised, “What a warrior. Your daddy is holding his best girl now. Love to your mama, your dog and all who love you fiercely. Love to Holly. Love to all of your legions of fans that I know you loved right back. If there was anyone who looked squarely at death and said no thanks, it was you dear Shannen. My head bows to you brave one. All love forever.”
By time of writing, Holly Marie Combs, who played the middle-turned-oldest sister Piper in Charmed, has not issued a public statement or social media post. However, Doherty was also remembered by Brian Klause, who played Leo Wyatt, the guardian angel to the sisters. “You showed me what strength is,” he posted on Instagram. “You taught me to be fearless and live with purpose. To know your value and stick to your determinations. Forever loved! Truly heartbroken.
