I have my Buddha. I come in here and meditate. <\/p>\n "[Shannen's] got a lot of energy, she's very headstrong, she wants to get the job done.<\/p>\n "I think it\u2019s unfortunate that she left, and that she needed to bad-mouth everyone involved and the audience.<\/p>\n "She sounds really angry. I just hope I didn\u2019t contribute to that anger."<\/p>\n Years later, Alyssa recalled to the aforementioned outlet: "You know, I could take responsibility for a lot of our tension that we had.<\/p>\n "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. <\/p>\n "And I have some guilt about my part in that. I have respect for her.<\/p>\n "Great actress, loves her family so much, and I just wish I could've felt strong enough in who I was to recognize that back then."<\/p>\n Holly Marie seemingly confirmed Shannen's recollection on the latter's Let's Be Clear podcast.<\/p>\n While not naming the producer in question, the former confessed: "He 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.' <\/p>\n "We were told [by Alyssa] it's her or [Shannen] and Alyssa has threatened to sue us for a hostile workplace environment.<\/p>\n "It was all behind the scenes. It was all in a trailer…it was nothing that any of our crew noticed, that any of our guest stars ever noticed or noted.<\/p>\n "There\u2019s not a director that wouldn\u2019t work with you again. <\/p>\n "There\u2019s not a crew member that didn\u2019t have a great time working with you."<\/p>\n The original version of Charmed is available to stream via Peacock, Hulu, and Pluto TV.<\/p>\n Cable reruns of the series are also scheduled for several timeslots on TNT.<\/p>\n On October 14, 2018, CBS premiered a reboot of the series.<\/p>\n After four seasons, the program concluded on June 10, 2022.<\/p>\n All seasons of the Charmed reboot are available to watch on Netflix.<\/p>\nWho was in the original cast of Charmed?<\/h2>\n
