'Charmed' Cast: Find Out Where the Witchy Halliwell Sisters Ended Up After the Series

Over the course of eight seasons from 1998 to 2006, the Charmed cast captivated viewers with the story of the three Halliwell sisters, modern-day good witches who discover their “Power of Three” after tragically losing their mother and must balance their supernatural abilities with maintaining a normal everyday life.

The fantasy-drama series was a major hit, and remains a nostalgic cult favorite over 20 years after it debuted, thanks to its charismatic cast and unique depiction of magic and sisterhood.

However, things weren't quite so magical behind the scenes. Rumors of feuds between members of the Charmed cast started to circulate when Shannen Doherty abruptly left the show after season three.

An alleged rift between Doherty and Alyssa Milano caused drama on set in the early seasons and rumors around the show's stars recently came back into the spotlight via Doherty's podcast, Let's Be Clear.

While both stars have publicly discussed the rift, it’s unclear whether the drama has been fully resolved — but it all just goes to show that years later, Charmed still gets people talking.

In 2010, Combs booked the role of Ella Montgomery, the mom of Lucy Hale’s character, Aria, on Pretty Little Liars, where she played.

Combs spoke about starring on two majorly successful series that appealed to two different generations. “People will be watching Charmed and little kids will go, 'That’s Ella!' and the older person will go, 'No — that’s Piper,'” she explained. “They argue about which character they associate me with more, which is great. That means I did my job correctly!”

While starring on Pretty Little Liars, the Charmed alum appeared in the movies Tenement (2010) and Love’s Complicated (2016).

Now 50, Combs divorced her second husband, Charmed key grip David Donoho, whom she shares three sons with, in 2011. The actress got remarried in 2019 to restauranteur Mike Ryan.

After Doherty left the Charmed cast, she starred in the TV movies Another Day (2001), The Rendering (2002) and Kiss Me Deadly (2008). In 2008, she appeared in the 90210 reboot, reprising her role as Brenda Walsh.
