Shannen Doherty is speaking out in support of The CW’s Charmed remake.

Doherty, 51, spoke alongside her Charmed co-stars Rose McGowan, Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause, Dorian Gregory, and Drew Fuller on Saturday at 90s Con in Hartford, Conn., on a panel hosted by Breanne L. Heldman. At the fan Q&A, she responded to a fan who booed after mentioning the newer series in their question to the actors.

“Not cool,” Doherty began. “Don’t boo to people who supply literally hundreds and hundreds of people with their job.”

Doherty then explained that “the new Charm is also for a younger generation.”

“I’ve met a lot of people that have bonded just like all of you have bonded, right where this Charmed got you through a lot of life experiences [and] brought you and your family close to get closer together, there’s a whole other generation that felt the same thing with the new Charmed,” she said. “It may be for all of us to be like ‘Well, it would be nice to be asked to be on the show,’ but you know, when they created their own thing and did it, I applaud them for supplying a lot of jobs. And they’re incredibly nice people, FYI.”

Doherty added that the Charmed she was a part of will “always stand on its own.”

“We’re [the] originals,” she added.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 cast also gathered for the second annual 90s Con. Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering, Jason Priestley, and Rebecca Gayheart took the stage to discuss the 1990s adolescent drama, but Doherty, who also played on 90210, was exclusively on the Charmed panel.

Charmed ran from 1998 to 2006, with Doherty leaving after three seasons and being replaced by McGowan. Alyssa Milano also appeared in the show.

The CW debuted a new version with the same name in 2018. Despite conflicting reviews from fans — and originally some of its actors — when it first premiered, it has now gone on to have four seasons. The final episode aired in 2022.
