‘Shannen Doherty had the heart of a lion’: Charmed and Beverly Hills cast members pay tribute to late actor

Whether it was Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills or Prudence “Prue” Halliwell on Charmed , Shannen Doherty was one of the defining characters of television in the ’90s, she died on Saturday, July 13, at the age of 53, after a long battle with complications from cancer.

Today, teams from his iconic series honor him.

A tribute to Charmed

In 2001, his all-out falling out with his co-star Alyssa Milano led to his sudden departure from Charmed after 3 seasons and the death of his character, preventing a possible return. today, DeadlineMilano wanted to pay tribute to her former TV series sister:

It’s no secret that Shannen and I had a difficult relationship, but deep down, she was someone I deeply respected and admired. He was a talented actor who was adored by many and the world is a lesser place without him. My condolences to all who loved him.

Rose McGowan, who replaced Doherty in Charmed as Paige Matthews, a fourth sister introduced in the script to keep the characters a trio, also spoke:

“Shannen Doherty had the heart of a lion. Our lives were intertwined in a unique way. We laughed at the forces of evil that wanted us to hate each other and chose to love and respect each other.”

Brian Krause (Leo White), Ted King (Andy Trudeau) and Finola Hughes (Patty Halliwell) also spoke. You can find their respective tributes by clicking on their names.

Note that Holly Marie Combs, the last of the sisters, has not yet spoken. We will add her post if she shares it.

The cast of Beverly Hills is also mourning

Shannen Doherty played another ’90s TV icon: Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills from 1990 to 1994. A star of the show, his departure at the end of the fourth season will lead to a significant decrease in audience for the series. Jason Priestley, who played Doherty’s character’s twin brother Brandon Walsh, wrote:

“Shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Shannon. She was a force of nature and I will miss her. Sending love and light to her family in this dark hour.”

Brian Austin Green (David Silver), who was very close to the actor, sent him this touching message: “Shan. My sister. I loved you through everything. You played a part in helping me understand love. I will miss you more than I can now. Thank you for giving me yours.”What followed Gabriel Carteris (who played Andrea Zuckerman):

So young, so sad. Rest in peace, Shenen. I know Luke is here to open his arms and love you.

Carol Pottersaid, who played his mother in the series “shocked and saddened”describes it as “An example of courage and perseverance”. And finally, among many others, let’s bring Jenny Garth (Kelly Taylor, alternately Brenda’s best friend or rival):

“We were often at odds with each other, but that didn’t reflect our true relationship, which was one of mutual respect and admiration. He was brave, passionate, determined, loving and generous.”
