Julian and Shannen were together, dating. They were also filing Another Day movie. When Shannen got the call that she was fired from a show they both worked on. Yet Julian did return, and even did such professional job, that you don't feel any resentment coming from his character. For him to return and have all those scenes filmed with Alyssa, knowing she had a part in getting his girlfriend fired. All I got say is. Give the man mad props for his professionalism.
But I did try to put myself in his shoes. And personally for me. I would not have returned. No matter how much money they would throw my way. Or if they bring up the contract. Than I would find a way to get myself fired.
This is not me having anything against Julian. But I did always wondered about his decision.
What would you guys do if you were in his shoes?

Did Alyssa play a part in Shannen getting fired or is all that speculation?
The amount of rumours surrounding the reasons she left is kinda astronomical especially for a show that didn't have a large audience. I believe that him returning to the show was a reason enough for me not to believe that Alyssa had anything to do with Shannen leaving/getting fired.
Julian's professionalism is something that should be discussed more, which is the reason why I am happy that he didn't do what you suggested, not only would he be labeled as a difficult actor but we have no idea how the media or the fanbase would have treated Shannen as a result of his actions, even though he would have been in support of his girlfriend, her being labeled in a derogatory way is something that probably played on both of their minds, I could see it falling harder on Shannen and she didn't need that.
Julian did what he had to do to keep the peace and I believe he did what was in both of their best interests.
If I was in his shoes, I would have done what he did. Shannen didn't need the additional stress and neither did him.

Shannen didn't need the additional stress and neither did him. It is well known that they decided to choose between her or Shannen because they didnt like the drama they were having so Alyssa does play a part in it. Charmed had 7 million viewers back in the day, thats a lot of people. It was the networks #2 show at the time. But Julian was already signed as a series regular and couldn't leave just as Holly couldn't leave.

Didn't Alyssa acknowledge that she contributed and had her share of problems in one of recent interviews? Can't remember.
Yes as I said Julian really is professional. It sure wasn't easy being in his shoes back then.
And I respect your opinion. I am on the more being more emotional and letting my emotions guide me. So I would have reacted in the different way.

I stand corrected, I haven't watched that interview, I tend not to believe rumours unless it comes from the source, so I will apologise for being ignorant. You must be a Halliwell, in all honesty, I can understand where you are coming from, I could also see me operating from my emotions in this situation, I just believe that Julian did an amazing job not making it harder for not only him but for Shannen.

So I would have reacted in the different way. I truly don't think the so-called feud had a lot to do with Shannen being fired. After all, both were professionals since they were kids. They could've still acted as sisters no matter how they felt about the other. I truly think that was just spin - something the public could accept. I think it had more to do with she spoke up too much about what she wanted change and male chauvinists Aaron Spelling and Brad Kern didn't like that. They wanted the sisters to be like Charlie's Angels - all about tits and ass and not much else while Shannen didn't.

That's backed up by Holly who said Shannen was unhappy with the direction the show took in S3 in a podcast interview.

The feud story always seemed a little blown out of proportion. Interesting how the more accepted story in media is that she left because of a woman and not because of men.

Julian was already signed as a series regular and couldn't leave just as Holly couldn't leave. Pretty much. Not even Holly, who is known to be a dear friend (to Shannen), could "just leave". I imagine, Julian (the boyfriend) couldn't leave, either. Contracts are funny.

Wikipedia says, Brooke and Julian, were married for 2 years 1999-2001 when they divorced but not what month that happened though.
We know Julian and Shannen dated in season 3 though I'm not sure if they were seeing one another still when Shannen got fired or if they'd split up by then of course.

We know that according to Holly, Shannen was in Canada, shooting the movie "Another Day" with Julian when she got the phone call that said she was fired, so my guess is they were still dating at that point.
