An interview with Holly Marie Combs
Adding to the friction, says Combs, was the stars' growing frustration with the show's direction. "We were in a rut, where we felt like we were doing the same episodes over and over again," she says. Doherty, in particular, "wanted to make the show bigger and better and stretch her boundaries," says Combs, who has been friends with the actress for eight years, and still speaks frequently with her. "I'd see her in the morning and she'd be like, 'OK, how are we going to fix this scene?' She was really dedicated and she didn't have a lot of patience for anyone [she felt] wasn't."

"She didn't want all the bad press again. She wanted to exit gracefully." But the studio wouldn't have it. Continues Combs: "They stamped their feet and said, 'No, you cannot leave. We will sue you,'"

"I'm sure I'm going to get many phone calls about this," she adds, "but you know what?I don't care. [The producers] know I was not happy with how it was handled. You just don't do that to a person, [especially]a person who has basically created two hit shows for you."

about going back to charmed without shannen

But closure hasn't come as easily to Combs. While she says she still has a good relationship with Milano, she felt "a definite sense of loss" when she returned to the set in July. "In a way," Combs says, "I have to treat this as a brand-new job, a totally different show I'm doing, because if I don't, it's going to be a really hard year."

"If you havent spent eight year with her, then i don't want your opinion!"--> HOLLY MARIE COMBS

How do you feel about Shannen leaving?
Shannen’s really a great girl and a fantastic actress. She’s nothing like what the press makes her out to be. I have a lot of respect for her as an actress and person. She’s great.

The rumor mill has it that the two of you are dating. True?
Yes. I’m crazy about her. She’s got this amazing passion for life. Actually, she’s passionate about everything that she does. There’s no phoniness about her. She’s such a loving person. She gives all of herself to you and makes you feel wonderful. I’m very happy.

Does being somewhat of a teen heartthrob, make it tough to pursue romance in life?
Well, my personal life is very important to me and I like to keep it that way. It’s rough though. Fans get possessive. A friend of mine directed me to a fan site and people were being just horrible to Shannen when they heard I’d started dating her. It made me unbelievably angry. And, you know, I appreciate my fans greatly. But you can bet I don’t appreciate them being so cruel to someone I care about so much. I wanted to tell all of them to just can it. (Laughs). They don’t even know Shannen. They don’t know how wonderful she is. I mean, you know, it hurt me. She means a lot to me. (Breaks a smile) I’m a sensitive guy. (Laughs). I wish people, in general, could step out of their egos and stop being so petty and childish.--> JULIAN MCMAHON

Shannen took some heavy hits from the tabloids during her years of Beverly Hills, 90210 as someone who's tough to work with. Well?
She's really a super person. She makes you feel like you're important. She doesn't want anyone to feel intimidated by her presence. And all three of these women together have a huge presence. Their resumes are very impressive. They just make you feel comfortable. They're as funny as you can ever imagine. The set is really light. Nobody feels put off or like they shouldn't be there. Basically, it's all for the good of the show. So if you're for the show, then they're for you

Do you Miss Shannen Doherty?
Shannen is a very lovely person. She knows what she wants, she's a perfectionist and she has all my respect.She was nothing but nice to me when she was working on Charmed.She's a true hard worker and i think by that some people found it hard to work around her coz she was always asking the best of everybody. It didn't always make for the lightest situation and some people took it the wrong way when really she was just trying to get a good product.--> BRIAN KRAUSE

"I have a lot of respect for her," says Milano of her former costar "I think she's incredibly smart and talented, and I wish her happiness, love, success." --> ALYSSA MILANO

You work with three of the most beautiful women on television - what is like working them - especially working with Shannen Doherty?
It has been a fabulous experience to say the least. Shannen? I like the bad girl in Shannen - I like that aspect of her. It's been good - I have to say that these are three very strong willed women who have had a lot of success at an early age, and also have had a lot of experience in front of the camera on television, so I have nothing but things to learn from them in a lot of respects - both on and off camera.

Are the things we hear about Shannen rumor or fact - both good and bad?
I think some of it is rumor, but a lot of it is based on truth because she was young when success hit her. The great thing about Shannen is that she is a total professional and is always prepared, and she expects everyone around her to be at the same level - and I like to think I am the same way, so I respect the way she is around the set. We get things done, things rapidly and according to the script, so I certainly can't complain.

"I like Shannen, I think she's a straight shooter. I don't know where the press was getting their information but with me she's been nothing but honest, hard-working and a complete professional."--> T.W. KING

*****

Holly and Shannon are also very cool. The one thing I noticed about Shannon is that she works very hard. I had seen her come in one day on her day off to work with the stunt coordinator on some "Matrix" type martial arts. Plus, she's a very good actor. I really liked watching her work.

Shannen Doherty was also great to work with. All of that stuff about her being difficult, to me, seemed crazy. She's very dedicated to her work and took it seriously. You have to respect that. I thought she was very cool. --> MICHAEL BAILEY

*****

“I also want to mention how impressed I was with Shannen Doherty, her athletism and how quickly she picked up on the wrestling moves we taught her for someone who at that stage had no watched Wrestling in her life was incredible!”. He went on to say, “For monthing fellow Wrestlers would remind me that I got pinned by Shannen Doherty!” “I also want to state that she was so warm to us (wrestlers) and her smile was electric and it’s a shame she doesn’t get the respect in the media that she deserves!, the media should lay off her!” --> TNA Wrestler Scott Steiner
