Jack Dunn Alyssa Milano has paid tribute to her “Charmed” co-star Shannen Doherty, who died Saturday at age 53. “It’s no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of,” Milano said in a statement provided to Variety. “She was a talented actress, beloved by many and the world is less without her.

My condolences to all who loved her.” Milano and Doherty starred alongside Holly Marie Combs in “Charmed,” in which they played a trio of magical sisters from 1998 until 2001 when Doherty’s character, Prue Halliwell, was killed off in the Season 3 finale.

The show would air its eighth and final season in 2006. As Milano referenced in her statement, she and Doherty had a “complicated” off-screen relationship for years.

In December 2023, Combs claimed that Milano got Doherty fired from “Charmed,” to which Milano responded in an Instagram post in February that she “did not have the power to get anyone fired.” She also claimed that a “professional mediator” was brought on set, who “after collecting testimony from cast and crew,” recommended what changes should be made to producer Aaron Spelling, who ultimately decided to fire Doherty. “As always, I wish Holly, Shannen and Rose, peace and light in their personal and professional journeys,” Milano wrote on Instagram at the time.
