Shannon recorded last podcast maybe a week ago. I went over and listened...
My guess is that she had a brain bleed or something. There is no doubt this was incredibly fast. Bad on one hand, but incredibly fortunate on the other.
I think this is someone who went out on top! Would Shannon probably have liked a few days to get final affairs in order? Based on her personality? Probably. But I think once we get where we are ultimately going, those little things mean nothing in retrospect.
You did some good Shannon- and actually went from someone who was known (as a young adult) for not setting a great example-- to someone who ultimately set a great example, when it mattered the most. It's kind of a cool legacy and life. Respect.

While I disagree with the posters bringing up Shannen being a Republican, this is a flat-out LIE. The Republican Party has been batshit crazy since the days of Richard Nixon. In 91, Bush Sr. nominated the most corrupt Supreme Court Justice ever to serve, Clarence Thomas, who is currently working hard to turn this country into a Christofascist nation. Let's not even get started on Newt Gingrich becoming speaker of the House in the mid-90s. The only difference between the 90s and today is fewer dog whistles and more in-your-face bigotry. The policies are still oppressive.
The Republican Party of today is what Gingrich, Thomas, Bush Sr., George W. Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Limbaugh, and others built.

I watched 90210 from beginning to end for ten years straight. I'm honestly devastated. To lose thee Brenda Walsh, thee Prue Halliwell and of course who could forget little Jenny Wilder from Little House On The Prarie. For my generation who grew up watching her, she's invaluable. For some reason, the death of a beloved TV icon like this is more jarring for me than the deaths of my favorite movie stars. I think it's because with TV you're watching these characters evolve week after week, year after, and you definitely become invested in the various storylines. I continued watching 90210 after Shannen left, but it was never really the same, and I cut off Charmed completely when Aaron Spelling screwed her over for the second time. Her acrimonious exit from Charmed left a particularly bad taste in my mouth, and I vowed never to watch another Spelling series again. No matter how many times he tried, you just can't replace someone like Shannen. So much of her life was a battle, but I hope she's resting easy now. She earned it.

Was always #TeamBrenda in part because I was #Team Shannon....much like the actor I found her character ballsier and gutsier than the others on BH 90210. I love that Shannon being fired just reflected better on her character and showed that unlike the others she was suited for bigger, better things than hanging around beaches with her same boring friends from high school.
She was also very beautiful, breathtakingly so at times. God speed hun and say hi to your fake high school sweetheart for us, and that we miss him too.

You lie R111. The Biden camp came against young trans transitions.
Doherty was a Reagan republican who said he was doing "a marvelous job" several times when so many was dying of AIDS including those in her precious entertainment industry.
It seems like most of you care more for a callous right-wing bitch than those who had a surprise disease crash into their lives & couldn't access their partner's health insurance or get tax cuts heteros got or even the basic decency of visiting their loved one in the hospital because the laws gave them no recognition.
Shannon probably had to pay off some of those bar fights victims of hers that kept popping up in the news/tabloids which left her on Obamacare.

She was definitely a broad. And I mean that in a good way. Tough, smart, witty, and pretty.
I never watched 90210, but I appreciated that she clearly had a true sense of herself and stood up for what she believed in.
I hope you're at peace now and glad you no longer have to struggle against that unfair monster named cancer.

Let's be real. She was a lousy actress and no beauty. When someone gets fired from not one but TWO shows she is the problem. It wasn't like her constant lateness revealed a genius talent when she finally turned up on set. She was just spoiled and didn't appreciate the breaks she was given. It's understandable to clash with other personalities but she was supposed to be an actress so she should have acted civil. But as a person, to die at 53 is sad.

Tori was a fan of Shannen in Heathers, which may have been part of the reason why Aaron Spelling hired her for the role of Brenda. When she was on Shannen's podcast last month, they talked about their party days and how Shannen would often stick up for Tori on the show.

[quote]She was definitely a broad. And I mean that in a good way.
I did a search and couldn't find the thread, but many years ago on DL, there was a poster here who shared an anecdote about a time Shannen and her then-bf stayed at a hotel or resort. I don't remember the exact names or dates the DLer gave; I think it may have been the late 90's or early 00's.
Anyway: Shannen and her bf got into an incredibly noisy, heated argument. Once the screaming subsided, it was followed moments later by a loud crashing/shattering sound.
The DLer explained that Shannen had gone to the gift shop, requested the most expensive item they sold—which happened to be a glass or crystal dolphin figurine—then purposely smashed it to get back at the bf.
Lol, I still remember it all these years later.

Horribly sad news! Love her.
First heard of her around August/September of 2004 when I started watching re-runs of BH90210 (although they were the 7th season episodes) and when the paparazzis of E! Kept showing an old video of her (1994) beating a guy during one of her messy night outs.
First saw her in Charmed in late 2005 and that quickly became my favorite tv show. She was certainly my favorite actress in 2006/2007/2008, watched many of her movies back then.
I also remember watching a few episodes of her reality show in 2012, Never imagined that she would die young, it sucks that she did.
First read about her cancer just days after an uncle of mine died of a heart attack in August of 2015, can't believe how fast nine years go.
But I am glad she lasted this long, I certainly remember all the negative trolls on YouTube and here claiming that she would die very soon back in 2016.
A lot of people who were supposedly going to die after her just died first in the meantime, I am glad Shannen proved her strength by fighting this hard to live and that she had the time to start her podcast and to tell us fans the real reason why she left charmed.
She will always be one the best tv actresses, and a true Icon of the 1990s, also one the prettiest celebrity faces of all time. Shannen will be eternal. And even though she was a republicunt I will always be a fan and have a little spot for her in my heart.

Dee Dee Hall's statement will be in next week's Soap Opera Digest.
by Anonymous | reply 251 | July 18, 2024 8:11 PM |
BREAKING: Deidre Hall has released a statement:
“I believe that celebrity deaths are not a forum for expressing personal religious, social or political views. However, I have not objected when fellow performers have released condolence statements to express their support for a deceased costar; that's their choice. My choice is NOT to release a statement.
Soap Opera Digest readers should know releasing a statement is no longer entirely voluntary. Those who began by requesting statements from performers now resort to extreme tactics in pursuit of their express goal of 100 percent conformity. When performers arrive at an award show, individuals who attempt to solicit statements accost them. A performer who declines may be accosted at the pre-show reception, again while waiting backstage and again at the press conference after the show.
Requesting these statements from celebrities was, in my view, a benign and pro-social act. On the other hand, aggressively badgering performers to compel the release of statements is not only demeaning to the deceased celebrity and to the desperate need for an all-out research war against the cause of death, but an offense against personal freedom.
By attempting to force 100 percent conformity, these activists are now attempting to make the condolence statement a visible litmus test for separating those individuals who empathize with deceased celebrities and support celebrity memorials from those who do not. This is a misguided and dangerous notion.
First, it misguidedly politicizes human tragedy. These condolence statements provide a means by which public figures can appear to make a 'politically correct' statement in favor of a cause they do not support. A prime example was Barbara Bush publishing a condolence statement while seated among the audience at the Republican National Convention but deleting it before joining the president on the podium.
Second, any attempt to force conformity to a single social agenda attacks the freedom of expression. The extreme activities that resort to harassment to compel actors and actresses to release these statements are practicing a '90s brand of McCarthyism – and their behavior is deplorable. Our community was devastated by political extremists in the 1950s and again became a target during the last presidential campaign. It surpasses belief that men and women in the entertainment field would resort to shameful practices that the enemies of artistic freedom have used against us.
Sadly, it falls to some of us who ardently support deceased celebrities to resist these tactics by personal example. Believe me, the easy way out would be to post a condolence statement and keep silent. But I won't, because I don't want these appalling tactics to succeed.”

R271, Our House was a weekly series on NBC that ran from 1986-88 and starred Wilford Brimley, Deirdre Hall and Shannen as Dierdre's daughter. Gay actor Chad Allen also played one of Hall's children. This was Hall's big shot at primetime after becoming a huge star on Days. Hall has said and I, for one, agree, that part of the problem was that nobody believed that she was old enough to be a mother of a teenage girl (Shannen), though Hall takes full responsibility for this as she admits she added ten years to her age when she was a teenager because she was too mature looking to be cast as adolescents, but ironically looked too young a decade later to play a widow and mother of three on Our House.

I watched the nighttime ones occasionally because those were some of the most popular shows on prime time network TV and they were almost unavoidable, But they were usually stupid. Daytime soaps--again in the '80s these were huge, as well, esp. General Hospital. Kids watched them at college. But I never was into soaps and like you I never knew any gay man who were into daytime soaps.

Deidre Hall was delusional if she thought she looked too young to be Shannen’s mother. Her old ass looked every bit of 45 on the show.

[quote]Hall has said and I, for one, agree, that part of the problem was that nobody believed that she was old enough to be a mother of a teenage girl (Shannen), though Hall takes full responsibility for this as she admits she added ten years to her age when she was a teenager because she was too mature looking to be cast as adolescents, but ironically looked too young a decade later to play a widow and mother of three on Our House.
This has to be a fucking joke. Too young-looking to be a mother?? 😂

She looked old enough to be the mother of a 25 year old, so in essence, she looked old enough to be a grandmother.

Deirdre Hall was years older than Shannen Doherty. She was absolutely old enough to be her mother.
I'm an 80s child and I don't remember Our House at all. Weird, because I watched a lot of tv back then.

Whoops, I meant to write that Deidre Hall was 24 years older than Shannen Doherty. She was totally old enough to be her mother, delusional old bitch.
Kind of like Nicole Kidman, who's almost 60 and still playing the mother of children who are in elementary school.

Considering how damned matronly Dee Dee was on Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, which was a decade before Our House, it’s a damned laugh that she thought she looked too young to be Shannen’s mother.

I just remember her Days character being killed off, then after what seemed a long while, came back to the show in a storyline that seemed ridiculous, even for a daytime soap. A lot of other Days actors whose characters were also killed off were brought back in the most unbelievable plots.
Was Marlena killed off so Dee could have a crack at prime time with Our House?

There was a period from about the mid-80s to the early-90s where a bunch of former daytime leading ladies made attempts at stardom on primetime soaps. Sometimes this worked out (Falcon Crest); most of the time it didn't--Genie Francis on Bare Essence, Marcy Walker on Palace Guard, and even Susan Lucci had a maligned, barely remembered season on Dallas.
Our House got two full seasons, so Dee Dee landed somewhere in the middle.

R289: Not right away. Dee worked on both shows during the first season of Our House (filming Days on weekends), although obviously Marlena appeared a lot less frequently than usual. (IIRC, Marlena had been kidnapped/held captive during the latter portion, before being "killed off"). NBC & Dee were hedging their bets to see if Our House was really going to make it. I remember it was pretty noteworthy at the time -- to have one of daytime's biggest stars starring in a primetime show, simultaneously. No one had ever done that.
But it (her schedule) couldn't be sustained, so she left Days and Marlena was "killed" in a sea-plane crash -- or that's what everyone in Salem thought, as her body was never recovered. Easier to come back from than a decapitation.

R296, I was at school then. Most kids had an idea of what was going on with Days and Y&R and would make jokes about the plotlines. Australia didn't have cable TV back then, just five free to air networks. Years after, a primetime news/comedy show aired a very entertaining Days update featuring Marlena possessed by the devil. It was very funny.

Her divorce was finalized hours before she died. Not sure when they started the process, but to be going through that while she was already sick must have been incredibly stressful.

R144 HMC has been going THRU IT.
Her IG had the most lovely tributes under her stories but they only lasted 24 hours. I also listened to her podcast and knew this was coming--as did she--when her cancer came back at stage IV, but I was shocked that it was so sudden. And I cried during Holly's, Drew Fuller's, and Brian Krause's podcast episode after she died. It was so touching.
It's weird...I NEVER thought I would cry at a celebrity's death when I was younger. It all started with Joan Rivers and it was downhill from there. Shit, I even cried when Howard Stern announced Ralph Cirella had passed.

Also, I remember the Rolling Stone with Shannen on the cover. During the interview, she was smoking and said to the reporter that breast cancer runs in her family and she knows that she should quit. This was in '93 or '94, and that ALWAYS stuck with me. I think it was because I became a regular smoker around that time despite being old enough to know better. But I feel like MANY people smoked back then because--believe it or not--it looked cool at clubs and bars.

The '90s were the last time smoking was culturally cool for young peoplle. All the supermodels (who were as big as movie stars back then), save Cindy C (who was considered commercial and not cool), Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Johnny Depp all smoked. I believe that many of the Friends' actors smoked in real life, or at least Aniston did. But at the time you could still smoke in cafes and bars. At some point in the early 2000s, smoking was banned in most indoor spaces throughout the U.S. I smoked throughout the '90s which coincided with most of my 20s and then quit in 2004 which happened to be the year I turned 30.

Can someone with a legal background explain the financial reasoning behind her divorce? Articles state she wanted alimony from her husband since she was drowning in medical bills as her SAG insurance was expiring. Firstly, why was her SAG insurance expiring? Is SAG insurance any good? Secondly, if she ultimately signed a divorce agreement that would not include alimony doesn’t that actually help her ex husband out financially? Now he won’t be responsible for any of her outstanding medical bills and other debts. I read her royalties were drying up from various tv series so future earnings would be meager or non existent. He had nothing to lose financially except her debt. Will her Malibu home have to be sold to pay off debt?
She worked her entire life, since childhood. What was her financial situation?

Maybe the SAG insurance was experiring because she hand't been working in awhile.
Some years back, Tracy Nelson lost her SAG insurance because she took time off to raise a family and when she got cancer she had trouble paying her medical bills because SAG insurance lapsed.
