    Shannen Doherty "doesn't regret" not returning for the series finale of 'Charmed'

    The 53-year-old actress starred as Prue Halliwell on the supernatural drama series alongside but left amid reported on-set and off-set tensions between herself and her co-stars Holly Marie Combs and Alysanna Milano, although she has now admitted that the only thing reason she feels bad about not going back for the finale is because of the fans.


    Speaking on her 'Let's Be Clear' podcast during a Q +A segment, she said: "I regret it in one sense. I regret it for the fans. But I don't regret it for me, because I was so incredibly wrecked from getting fired that, I think, even years, years. years later, had I walked on that set, and I think it just would've stirred everything back up for me. And it would've crushed me all over again."

    Towards the end of last year, Holly Marie claimed that show producer Jonathan Levin admitted to her that Alyssa was the reason Shannen left the show after three seasons.

    She said: "We didn't mean to, but we've been backed into this corner - we're basically in this position where it's one or the other. We were told [by Alyssa] it's her or [Shannen], and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment."

    But Shannen - who is currently battling stage four breast cancer - appeared to be dumbfounded by the accusations because she couldn't recall ever being "mean" to her co-star during their time on the show.

    She said: "I lived a year after that sort of replaying everything in my brain and really trying to find those moments. I don't ever remember being mean to her on set."
