Alyssa Milano’s illustrious career was jumpstarted by her role as Phoebe Halliwell on the hit drama “Charmed.” Tuesday she appeared on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” where she discussed the role and how the relationship between her and her co-stars on the show was not always great, according to USMagazine.com.
Milano starred on the show with Shannen Doherty, who played Prue Halliwell, and Holly Marie Combs who played Piper Halliwell.
One fan asked for the reason Doherty left the show after three seasons.
"We never really found out what happened," she responded. "I can tell you that we were on the air with her for three years, and there were definitely some rough days."
"Holly and Shannen were best friends for like 10 years before the show started, so it was very much sort of like high school," said Milano. "I would hope that in our thirties it wouldn't be like that anymore."
The show’s host Andy Cohen, adding his two cents. said, “High school is over!”
"I never went to a high school because I was tutored on the set, but I imagine it would have been a lot like that," said the “Mistresses” actress after laughing at Cohen’s joke.
Milano’s response sparked Twitter reactions from both Combs and Doherty.
"Working on Charmed was nothing like high school," tweeted Combs who currently stars on ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars”. "I went to high school. It was a very important job to me and always will be."
"Yeah, agreed, considering it helped me support my family and pay for my dad's medical issues, but everyone has their opinion and views," added Doherty. However, afterward the “Beverly Hills 90210” star tweeted a fan saying Milano did a great job on Cohen’s show and that WWHL “can be tricky.”
OK, gang, there's no drama," Doherty wrote. "Let's not feed into it!!"
Milano later tweeted in response to Combs: “"You're lovely...My best to the family! Mwah! And my parents send their love to you!"
Despite the “high school” disagreement, both Combs and Milano agree “Charmed” was vital to their careers.
"It was the best job I've ever had in my life," said Milano during the interview with Cohen. "Certainly a learning experience."
