Rose was under a contract that would more or less match Holly/Alyssas which was 7 years/7 seasons before renegotiating for an extra year likely during S5. They wouldnt sign her to a contract that is way longer than the other 2 when there is no show without the other 2. Rose has said she signed a 5 year contract. Either Rose is a liar (which, IDK why she would lie about something so trivial), or she's telling the truth. That being said, I think what you're implying is that Holly (don't care to talk about Alyssa) was under a 7 year contract? Since, my response (that you chose to respond to) was trying to answer the "how many seasons was Holly contracted for" question. Whether it was exactly 7 or 5 doesn't really matter, as both your guess and mine would have Holly breaking her contract, either way. Which is the main point, for those wondering "why Holly just didn't up and quit". Its no secret that Shannen did ask to quit, got turned down, and told to get back to work. Which she did. She's said throughout the years that her dad was sick and she wanted time with him. But Shannen was definitely putting on an act after her firing since she didnt want to be known as the difficult one who gets fired. 1. IDK why you're singling me out for making an unrelated comment about Shannen wanting to quit, as I (personally) don't care if she wanted to quit or not. There are other commenters (not me) who are claiming Shannen never wanted to quit. You should be responding to them, not me. 2. My point with calling Holly a "flip flipper" is her claiming in one instance (this 2023 Shannen Podcast) A) being in the hospital, and a producer pays her a visit and tells her that Shannen has been fired, and if Holly quits, she'll be sued. In another instance (in the 2020 "Ask Jillian" Podcast) B) Holly tells us she's on hiatus, and Shannen (personally) calls Holly to tell Holly that she's been fired. Not a producer visiting Holly in the hospital and telling Holly about this. Then, Holly (personally) goes to producers demanding to be let go (which is missing from part A) but was told she couldn't and would be sued if she tried. 3. My point with "Shannen wanting to quit" was that that particular narrative was consistent with the really old video I linked, saying the same thing. So, Holly's mention of it in the 2020 "Ask Jillian" Podcast was consistent with that narrative talking point. Either way, it's irrelevant to the main point, of my entire post that you chose to respond to, anyway. And turned it to be something that it's not. What IS consistent are the three things I said, earlier: - Shannen was fired - Alyssa's side/end set an ultimatum - Holly would be sued if she tried to quit due to being under contract Whether or not a producer (personally) told Holly about Shannen's firing, or if Shannen (personally) told Holly, herself, BOTH narratives point to Shannen has been fired. And, whether Holly was threatened with a lawsuit by this random producer in the hospital or elsewhere, doesn't matter, as Holly was being threatened with a lawsuit, either way. But, I can see why some (not all) may not believe Holly due to Holly changing the surrounding details, of each statement. Did a random producer pay a visit to Holly, in the hospital, to tell her Shannen was fired? Or, did Shannen (personally) call Holly, on hiatus, to tell Holly, that Shannen has been fired? Did a random producer pay a visit to Holly, in the hospital, to tell her if she tries to quit the show, she'll be sued? Or, did Holly (personally) go to producers, demanded to be let go but was told she'd be sued if she tried? Personally, I don't care (as the end results are the same, in the ever changing surrounding details: Shannen was fired, Holly was threatened with a lawsuit, etc). I just know to some (not all), the surrounding details matters just as much as the end result statements.
What we do know is the following: -Shannen was fired. -Alyssa's side/end made an ultimatum. -Holly was threatened with a lawsuit. Whether or not Holly was drinking a latte, a cup of water or nothing at all, when she got this information, doesn't matter to me. Maybe to some (not all) but not me. |

I did choose to respond to your post and didn't say otherwise about doing so. IK. My point being is some (not all) of your commentary seemed so random to the points I was trying to make, in my posts. Like me understanding why some (not all) other commenters view Holly as a "flip flopper". And, I give details on the why. And, I get a random response unrelated to that, altering the conversation from Holly the "flip flopper" to "yeah, Shannen wanted to quit". Entirely different subject matter, that I wasn't really talking about, to begin with. I never said Rose didnt sign a 5 year contract. I said her contract would likely run as long as Holly and Alyssas. They would've signed a 7 year contract and likely signed for an 8th around the 5th season putting them all at the 8 season mark. I did make it clear, the first time, that I was guessing and to not take my guess as gospel. Even so, what you're implying/inferring still doesn't make sense, to me. McGowan signed onto the show in S4. She's said (consistently, I might add) that she signed a "5 year" contract. This wouldn't align with Combs nor Milano's contracts, according to you, who would be under a "7 year" contract. Unless, both Combs and Milano signed this "7 year" contract during S2 sure. But, your claim is both Combs & Milano did this "alignment" during S5 (IDK if this means with McGowan, as well because I doubt McGowan wanted to renew her contract, at all and kept doing things, like dying her hair, to get fired and released from the show, but I digress). Making the statement that McGowan's "5 year contract" was in alignment with both Combs & Milano's untrue. Let's forget about McGowan's contract, altogether. As I was only using it as a presumption that that's how the other mains' (Combs & Milano's) contracts worked, as well (when they first sign onto the show). Clearly this is an incorrect assumption (on my part), and I wished that was said instead of this weird run around of how McGowan's contract worked versus the initial question being "how long was Holly's contract for?" Which, I will give a "free pass" on, since there's a couple of threads about this Podcast, right now, and that I was responding to a question asked in a different thread, similar to this one: Was Holly Marie contracted to do Season 4 or Season 4-7? Because perhaps she should have thrown in the towel when she had the chance in Season 4? It kind of what have left Charmed in a better place with enough for a continuation. 2. You spoke about it so I commented on it. There is nothing more to it. I spoke about understanding other people's criticisms against Holly being a "flip flopper", yes. I still don't find what relevance this "nothing more to it comment" has to do with what I was "speaking about": Its no secret that Shannen did ask to quit, got turned down, and told to get back to work. Which she did. She's said throughout the years that her dad was sick and she wanted time with him. But Shannen was definitely putting on an act after her firing since she didnt want to be known as the difficult one who gets fired. When, 1. I wasn't the first to mention Shannen wanting to quit the show, in this thread. 2. Still has nothing to do with what I was talking about, originally. And, why your comment must be tied to/linked to that particular response, in question, from me. I don't understand the relevance nor connection it has, in order for me to be quoted for it. I feel like it would be best suited in response to these comments than mine: *She explains the narrative she told all these years was given to her that she quit the show is not true. She's at the point in her life where she doesn't want to keep lying about it. Charmed meant so much to her and she loved the Job, cast and crew. A father who was extremely sick and the show helped provide the care. So when she got taken away her likelihood, it hurt. *Shannen thinks the idea of quitting a hit show that made so much money for her and enjoys working on is silly that's what so many believe. She loved the show and never would've left. Shannen stated that she loved the show, she was able to do her own stunts, direct and eventually was able to have more say in the direction of the show and her character. Shannen also was supporting her father who was battling an illness during her time on Charmed as well. So why would she quit? Her getting fired made sense and now we finally know how that came about. As these are more focused on that subject matter than mine talking about Holly being a "flip flopper". 3. There is no singling you out. I wasnt disrespectful towards you in any of my comments. Kinda feels that way, when your responses feel a little random to be linked to what I'm saying. Especially when other people spoke about what you responded with to me, before I made a minor vague comment about it, yet I was selected to receive the response. |

Shannen's star power was with Spelling and 90210.
Holly marie Combs had no 'star power'
Alyssa Milano's star power came at the relief of Spelling and E Duke Vincent to make it a Charlies Angele's spin off.
Alyssa grew insecure about the 3 way deal and went legal
Shannnen was just being a professional actress and director
Holly Marie Combs did lack the star power to equalise the competition between the actresses.
If I was Alyssa, I would have done the same thing.
Alyssa was well protected compare to Doherty and Combs.
Just Holiday politics to me.

So you’re saying you would sue the company if they didn’t fire Shannen like Alyssa did? I think what Alyssa did was wrong, there were so many other avenues that could have been explored. Actually threatening to sue the company if they don’t fire a lead actress is wild and threatened Shannen’s livelihood and her father’s as she paid for her father’s treatments. |

As far as salaries go
Charlies Angels didnt have equal pay either. Another Spelling staple.
Kate Jackson (the Shannen Doherty of CA) made $10k/episode
Farrah made $5k/episode and offered $8k for s2.
Sadly Charmed never would have equal salary unless they banded together which they never did. Though who knows how far off Shannens salary was compared to the others. Majority of ensemble casts don't have equal salary.

I responded to you all of 2 times in 1 post. There were 6 pages of responses, I commented on the most up to date page. I see, now. Just an odd way to do it. Typically, in a forum, you (not you specifically, general "you") quote all the people in question, regarding the topic you're most interested in talking about. Not the last person who mentioned it. Especially me, since it was more of an off-hand comment rather than my main focus. If I were singling you out, it'd be a lot more than that and it'd be from pages back. The way you're operating makes it seem that way. Especially since what you want to talk about is really unrelated to what you quoted from me. Along with excluding the quotes from the other commenters who were more focused on that subject matter, than I was. |

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Could've re-negotiated her contract, similar to how Holly did her's. Before threatening with a lawsuit. That should be the last thing you do, not first. |

Much as Phoebs was my original favorite sister and it was loving Alyssa as Sam on "Who's the Boss?" and Holly as Kimberly on "Picket Fences" that got me to watch "Charmed" (that was the first time I saw Shannen in anything), I can't help but wonder if Spelling had found someone to play Phoebe who didn't feel left out from Shannen and Holly who were such close friends, how different Charmed might have been. It does make me wish that Alyssa had been the one who was fired, since if Rose felt left out, it would fit Paige's character. Maybe the show never would've gone eight seasons, maybe just two or three, but you wouldn't have these hurt feelings now and maybe all three/four would be appearing together in cons and podcasts and we might have gotten the contiuation so many of us want. If only... |

Makes me wonder if Lori never quit (if her church did let her play a witch and she could separate acting from her faith ) what would've happened if she kept playing Phoebe. I don't see her being competitive with Shannen. She'd just be glad to get her big break at acting and Shannen would've continued being the star. Though I tend to think she may have quit anyway if she saw some of the plotlines in S1 focusing on religion that may have offended her.
I think Spelling and the Network just gave Alyssa the same contract Lori would've gotten when she signed on. Shannen was the bigger star compared to Holly and Lori. Once Lori quit and they hired a more well known star in Alyssa they should've altered their original plans and contracts knowing unlike Lori they have a bigger star alongside Shannen now.
I'm just shocked Alyssa didn't realize she wasn't being paid and or equal to Shannen until S3. She'd have to have known that when she signed on that Shannen was the star. It was so obvious with the marketing. I'm guessing Spelling didn't tell her that otherwise she may not have signed on and or demanded equal pay to Shannen upfront before signing on for Charmed.

If only... Casts banning together for equal pay is rare. Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, plenty others. But the casts problems with each other is far from why there is no continuation. They've all stated they would work together again. No one is interested in reviving the series, thats the problem. Makes me wonder if Lori never quit (if her church did let her play a witch and she could separate acting from her faith ) what would've happened if she kept playing Phoebe.

Unless Lori became the breakout star, she never would've had a foot to stand on to try to get on equal/higher footing with Shannen as it wouldve been her first big role. |

Now I'm not really sure what to believe. It's why I prefer just concentrating on Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige and ignoring anything to do with Shannen, Holly, Alyssa and Rose, the reason why I haven't listened to the latest podcast episode. I will once she discusses something besides Charmed. Well this next one that just came out might interest you more.
It's a Christmas themed one with Shannen having her mom on to talk about what a Doherty Christmas looks like.

Thank you so very much for this, Keeper! I just listened to it, and it was SO much more what I was looking for - Shannen's life, not Charmed. I fell in love with Mama Rosa, so happy that she's part of Shannen's life, and especially loved her story about Shannen as a kid! And now I see there's another one I haven't heard yet, so I'm going to listen to that. Thanks again! |

I just listened to this one. First to admit I didn't enjoy it as much as the Christmas one, but found it very interesting and informative. What I liked best is that lately, a lot of fans think Shannen is doing this because she thinks she's coming near the end of her life. This episode convinced me that she doesn't feel that way at all - that she feels she has a lot of life ahead of her and that makes me so happy! |

Thank you so very much for this, Keeper! I just listened to it, and it was SO much more what I was looking for - Shannen's life, not Charmed. I fell in love with Mama Rosa, so happy that she's part of Shannen's life, and especially loved her story about Shannen as a kid! And now I see there's another one I haven't heard yet, so I'm going to listen to that. Thanks again! I really loved hearing about Shannen's life. I enjoyed the story of Shannen as a kid. These are stories we never hear, because I'll admit the drama behind Shannen's firing from Charmed has been too much of a focus, its nice for the podcast to get into other aspects now.
I hear that Mama Rosa will pop back onto the podcast at some point in the future. I wonder if it'll go into the story of her and Shannen's father. From what Shannen said in an earlier podcast, after her husband/Shannen's father passed away a decade ago, she continued to keep wearing her wedding ring and still thinks they're married, despite him no longer being here, and will never remarry. I found that beautiful.
Next one is out: The Doctor Will see you Now
I just listened to this one. First to admit I didn't enjoy it as much as the Christmas one, but found it very interesting and informative. What I liked best is that lately, a lot of fans think Shannen is doing this because she thinks she's coming near the end of her life. This episode convinced me that she doesn't feel that way at all - that she feels she has a lot of life ahead of her and that makes me so happy! I'm happy to heat that she said that, because its been on my mind that she's nearing the end. I think she said she turned down book deals for a "Memoir" because she prefers to do in podcast format.

Yes, I'm glad you brought up Kevin Smith. I'd love to hear them talk - Mallrats and such! You got your wish. 
I didn't know this movie shot somewhere near Mall of America (I think that's what they mentioned) close to Minneapolis.
I had no idea Shannen's mother nearly died and was in hospital when she was only 9 years old. But her mother is so tough. I see where Shannen gets her strength from dealing with cancer.
If she wasn't an actress she'd have become a Lawyer.  I actually can see Shannen doing well at that. Maybe she'll get her wish to play a Lawyer as an actress. I'm glad she didn't, because then, I doubt Charmed would ever be what it was without her.
Also Shannen claims she still gets residuals from Charmed. The 90210 money wasn't that much. Although 90210 was a much bigger show and hit than Charmed, Charmed still has the bigger shelf life with the fans than 90210.
