Jenny Garthwho was Kelly, his rival in Beverly Hillsalso wrote on the network: “I am still going through my immense grief over the loss of my long time friend. Shannen was one of the strongest people I have ever known. Our connection was real and honest. We were so often pitted against each other, but none of that reflected the truth of our true relationship, built on mutual respect and admiration. She was courageous, passionate, determined, loving, and giving. I will miss her and will always honor her deeply in my heart and memories..” Tori Spelling (Donna) also posted a message explaining that the elders of Beverly Hillsthem, “knew“who was the real Shannen. “And that’s what matters.”

On the side of the elders of Charmedthe actress Rose McGowanwho played Paige Matthews, a replacement for Shannen Doherty in the casting, wrote: “She had a lion’s heart and passion for her art, which was often wrongly considered a problem.

Finally, Brian Krausewho spent eight seasons in Charmed in Leo Wyatt, congratulated Shannen Doherty for his fight: “You taught me to be fearless and live with purpose. Know your worth and stick to your determinations. I am truly heartbroken today…”
