Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano - 'Charmed'

Magic wasn't enough to keep this sisterhood together. As Prue and Phoebe Halliwell, Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano played devoted sisters. Behind the scenes, however, the actresses reportedly clashed so often that the work environment became difficult. The ongoing tension eventually led Doherty to leave the series after Season 3.
