The long lost sibling storyline sounds lame, but I can't wait to see what Rose can do on the show.
By Michael Fleming
NEW YORK (Variety) - Actress Rose McGowan is negotiating to replace Shannen Doherty in Spelling Television's hit TV drama "Charmed" at the WB network.
Sources say the witching hour is nearing and, barring a last-minute implosion, McGowan will join Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs as the third in a troika of sisters with mystical powers.
McGowan, former girlfriend of shock rocker Marilyn Manson, would play a long lost sibling the duo didn't know they had.
McGowan has starred in such films as the black comedy "Jawbreaker," "Scream" and "Ready to Rumble," and most recently starred with Kip Pardue and Robert Forster in the indie film "Rat in the Can." McGowan recently guest starred on the sitcom "What About Joan."
She will bring edginess to the WB's second-highest-rated show, which is exec produced by Aaron Spelling, E. Duke Vincent and Brad Kern.
The producers were faced with replacing Doherty after the former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star made her second hasty exit from a Spelling series.
Doherty, who directed the season finale, decided to seek other opportunities, and it seemed clear that Milano and Combs weren't unhappy Doherty left the coven.
The network wasn't commenting but acknowledged that talks were ongoing.

Not a Rose McGowan fan. Apparently they asked Jennifer Love Hewitt & Tiffani Amber Thiessen first, but they both declined. I would have definitely tuned in if Tiffani got the job. If I were the producer, I also would have sought out Eliza Dushku.

When a show is solely based on T&A who cares about the acting. Yeah, it's a terrible show but a well choreographed shot of cleavage can increase the viewers overall enjoyment of the show tremendously. Never underestimate a mans ability to tune into a show strictly in hopes of catching a good glimpse of a nice set of breasts...

but it's now official: deliciously dirty girl Rose McGowan ("Scream") and her magnificent breasts will indeed be joining the WB series "Charmed".
McGowan and her bounteous bosom will replace Shannon Doherty and her creepily uneven eyes, who will likely not be missed. Next season, Rose and her righteous chassis joins the witchcraft-wielding sisters of the show, which include gloriously-breasted cutie Alyssa Milano, and the less-endowed but still-cute Holly Marie Combs.
McGowan's character will be introduced to the group as a "long-lost" sister, but no explanation as to Doherty's character's departure has been offered. But then, who really cares? Ding, dong...
Now the pictures..
