The actress lost her long battle with breast cancer on July 13, at the age of 53. It has now been revealed that she had revisited one of her best known TV characters, Charmed’s Prue Halliwell, in a special rewatch event.

A post on the podcast’s Instagram account said the actress “couldn’t wait to share” the episodes with fans of the fantasy series, which she starred in from 1998 to 2001. “Only days ago, the House of Halliwell podcast announced Shannen Doherty was joining her castmates Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause, and Drew Fuller to relive the magic that was Charmed,” the message said.

“This show, this character, this podcast meant so much to Shannen she couldn’t wait to share it with Charmed fans everywhere. We want to honour her memory, and fulfil Shannen’s wishes by airing the first five episodes she recorded before her passing. She was passionate about this project and proud to have played Prue Halliwell.
“We hope these episodes offer some comfort for everyone who loved her. Prue, your memory remains and your magic lives on.”

Shannen – whose other big TV role was as Brenda Walsh in Beverly Hills 90210 – was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. She went into remission in 2017 but in 2020 told fans that it had come back in 2019, and that it was stage four.
The cancer later metastasised to the actress’s bones and brain, but she made it clear that she planned to keep fighting. She told People magazine in November: “I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not – I’m not done.”

Sadly, at the weekend it was confirmed that Shannen had passed away, with her publicist Leslie Sloane saying in a statement: “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.
“The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace.”
