Shannen Doherty already had a reputation for being difficult to work with before Charmed, with her time on Beverly Hills, 90210 marred by behind-the-scenes controversy which reportedly led to her being fired, although that time her character was at least left alive.

She wasn't given such a kind exit on Charmed where, after three seasons as Prue, the eldest of the three sisters, one of the most powerful witches of all time, and arguably the show's best character, she was attacked by the demonic assassin Shax.

Although the season ended on a cliffhanger, her feud with co-star Alyssa Milano led to her departure - with Milano reportedly issuing an ultimatum about her status on the show - which meant the Season 4 opener revealed the attack had been fatal.
