* Despite their legendary feud, Creator/AlyssaMilano immediately sent public well wishes to Creator/ShannenDoherty once her breast cancer diagnosis became known. The two appear to have completely buried the hatchet now.
* In TheNewTens when websites like ''The Mary Sue'' began questioning whether ''Charmed'' had ever been a feminist show (especially ahead of the 2018 reboot), Creator/HollyMarieCombs publicly defended it and said she was proud of the messages it sent.
* In contrast to popular belief, Creator/RoseMcGowan was not merely the successful auditionee out of hundreds of actresses. She was in fact the first choice, offered the role personally by Aaron Spelling, even when she'd been blacklisted from Hollywood by Harvey Weinstein.
** In her autobiography, while Rose outlines that her experience on the set was among the darkest years of her life, she still expresses gratitude to those who loved the show and Paige.
---> "If you are reading this book because of ''Charmed'', thank you for being a fan of the show and my character. I respect you and I honour you. I know it's brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. I was glad to be of service. I am glad something really good was coming from what, for me, was a very difficult time. When I say anything that's negative about the show, you have to understand I'm speaking about my personal experience. Not Paige Matthews, my character, but me, Rose. But you can always find good in most situations and so that is what I choose to focus on. There is much that I'm proud of from this period. For a long time Charmed was —and might still be — the longest- running female-driven hour-long show in history. I wish we got more credit for that, because it's important."
* Holly Marie Combs says her favorite episode is "The Sword in the City" because right as they began filming it, she found out she was pregnant for the first time.
* When appearing on the ''House of Halliwell'' podcast, Creator/JohnCho thanks the fans for the surprising popularity of his character; stating that even after his other more famous roles in ''Film/AmericanPie'', ''Film/HaroldAndKumar'' and of course ''Film/StarTrek2009'', he still gets asked about his role in "Dead Man Dating". He also thanks Holly Marie Combs for being so "professional" to work with, and helping him feel at ease on one of his earliest acting jobs.
* Dorian Gregory admits to hating watching his own work back, but he watched the episode "Dream Sorcerer" ahead of his appearance on ''House of Halliwell'', and found himself just enjoying seeing how young and full of potential everyone was and pointing out the chemistry people already had.
* Tyler Layton, who played Melinda Warren in "The Witch is Back", recalls that as soon as they had wrapped on that episode, they'd all bonded so much that the emotions in saying goodbye to Melinda were very real - and all three actresses turned to the producers and said "we want her to come back". She would have loved to and got asked multiple times, but had stage commitments she couldn't turn down, and admits it broke her heart to never return to ''Charmed''. But she loved her time on the show that afterwards she told her girlfriends she knew it would be something big.

** And the episode actually ends with the traditional manor door close, which doubles as TheReveal that one of the grandchildren has Prue's telekinetic powers. The implication is that she is Prue reincarnated, but in any event, it's revealed on the Charmed Wiki that, as many fans speculated, she is indeed named Prudence. So one way or another, Prue did get to be part of the finale after all.
