How Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs Will Channel Their Charmed Characters
Greyās Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff was overjoyed to reunite with former colleagues and Charmed stars Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs for Thursday nightās episode ā so much so that she decided they should channel their witchy characters, sisters Phoebe and Piper.
āOur goal was to wink at Charmed while still making an episode of Greyās Anatomy,ā Vernoff, who worked on seasons 3-6 of Charmed, tells PEOPLE exclusively. āHollyās character is more serious, a lawyer. Alyssaās is more free-spirited. They bicker a lot, but underneath it, they love each other.ā
The fantasy series, which went off the air in 2006, holds a special place in Vernoffās heart because it was her second television job.
āIt was incredible to see Holly and Alyssa work together again,ā Vernof says. āThereās a playfulness when they work together ā a joyful, sibling-esque quality that just instantly came back to life. They are powerful women, forces of nature, and I so deeply admire their political activism. It was nice to see the joy and fun they brought out in each other, too, as if no time had passed.ā
āI learned so much there,ā she adds. āAnd it payed off in more ways than one because Shonda [Rhimes] was a Charmed fan ā and we talked about it a lot in my job interview for Greyās!ā
In an exclusive sneak peek of Thursdayās episode, Combs and Milano ā who play the sisters of a patient who may be brain-dead after falling at a construction site ā must decide whether or not to keep their other sister alive.
āWhat are you saying?ā Combsā character asks Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.).
āShe fell about 30 feet,ā Richards says. āShe fractured her skull. Weāve done everything we could, but Iām afraid there are no signs of brain activity.ā
Combs (who just got married!) and Milano played witch sisters with Shannen Doherty in Charmedās first three seasons, and then alongside Rose McGowan in the showās second half.

Found this on People.com today.
I started crying, thinking of Piper and Phoebe reacting to the news that Prue was brain dead. And it made me think of my father.
Did anyone else here, who watched it, or even saw the clip in this article. Feel that way watching, thinking of Prue being the brain dead sister, with Piper and Phoebe reacting to the news. I sure did in the clip.
I REALLY REALLY wished Shannen played the sister who was brain dead, that would have made me cry even more, getting to see the three original stars together. But, too bad, Shannen and Holly feuding meant, we couldn't get it.
