Alyssa Milano is sending lots of well wishes to Shannen Doherty.
The former Charmed co-stars have re-connected in the wake of Doherty’s stunning breast cancer diagnosis, with Milano telling ET that she continues to reach out to Doherty regularly on social media.
“I’ve reached out to her, yes, and I try to continue to reach out to her once a week,” Milano told ET on Tuesday. “I tweeted, I [direct messaged] her and I obviously told her my concern and how everyone was on her side, and we’re all supporting her, and she was very appreciative that I reached out, which was very sweet.”
Though the actresses have famously had their differences since sharing the screen more than 15 years ago, Milano had nothing but kind words for Doherty.
“It’s such a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible illness, so to see anyone struggle like that in such a public way is heartwarming and gut-wrenching all at the same time,” she said.
In a more lighthearted reunion, Milano met up with her former Who’s the Boss? co-stars last week to reminisce about their time on the beloved ’80s sitcom.
“We had the best time,” Milano gushed.
“Tony [Danza] came in and he was like a tornado, and everyone was so excited to see him. And then he said, ‘Just wait here, one second, I got to go get Lucy.’ We were like, ‘Lucy? Who is Lucy? Is it a new dog? Like, what is Lucy?'” she recalled. “He brought us this little ukulele that he named Lucy that apparently he taught himself how to play a couple years ago and he serenaded us for like a good 15 minutes, and it was so sweet. Judith [Light] and I, of course, we just melted.”
Who’s the Boss? wrapped in 1992, but Milano said that the tight-knit cast has managed to stay in touch in recent years with the help of social media.
“It’s such a weird thing because when our show ended, nobody texted, there wasn’t Facebook, there wasn’t social media, so it was a lot harder to keep in touch with people,” she said. “There were many lost years, but now it’s so convenient to just be able to send a text and say, ‘Thinking about you!’ and ‘Love you!’ It’s made it a lot easier, so we talk to each other all the time.”
“Danny [Pintauro] is doing really well too,” she added. “[He’s] just so brave in coming out as HIV positive and all of his advocacy that he’s been doing. We’re all so very proud of him.”
ET caught up with Milano at the Los Angeles Rams’ practice facility in Thousand Oaks, California, where she also opened up about creating her highly successful NFL clothing line, Touch, and making Atkins-friendly game day snacks for the whole family.

Mending their friendship. Rose McGowan penned a lengthy note of support to Shannen Doherty amid her cancer battle.
When Doherty, 45, left Charmed after three seasons, McGowan, 43, was brought in as her replacement in 2001. The move created a rumored rivalry between the two women, and in her post, McGowan slammed Hollywood for putting them at odds.
“As young women we were pitted against each other for society’s pleasure,” the Jawbreaker actress wrote on Instagram Tuesday, September 13. “The rules of Hollywood engagement brainwashed into us were truly vile. The men & brainwashed women in our business made it so we couldn’t be friends, I regret that. We were cast in this weird fake reality show where we were supposed to be enemies. I resented it greatly. I regret not being awake enough to articulate this to you at the time.”
McGowan explained that she was scared of saying or doing the wrong thing on the Charmed set, because she didn’t want to be cast out as Doherty had been. Doherty also left Beverly Hills, 90210, after four seasons for rumored feuding. “Fear was drilled into me from day one in this town & you were the barometer by which my behavior was judged. I was under a microscope, one false move and I’d be branded ‘difficult’ just like you,” she wrote. “The Bad Girl Shaming you received at the hands of the media was merciless. … I had to prove I wasn’t as bad as you or I’d get the axe, too. But we were never the bad ones, it was them., the Beige Brained White Dudes in Charge.”
The pair never actually feuded, though, McGowan insisted. “I refused to give them the cat fight they so wanted. Shannen, we didn’t know it yet, but we were the good ones,” she wrote. “There was a strongly inferred threat of me being blacklisted in tv as I’d been in film. Instead of understanding that we were a different breed, they tried to crush us, but they couldn’t. I send you strength.”
Shannen was afgelopen week samen met haar man en dokter aanwezig op het jaarlijks terugkerend event Stand Up To Cancer. Een benefietavond dat op de Amerikaanse zender ABC uitgezonden wordt om geld in te zamelen voor het Amerikaanse kankerfonds. Dit is de eerste publieke verschijning van Shannen sinds ze begon met chemo behandelingen in haar eigen gevecht tegen de ziekte. edit; meer foto’s zijn toegevoegd.

In een vierdelige interview met ET deelt Shannen het haar vooruitgang in het gevecht met borstkanker. Zo praat ze openhartig over haar behandeling die ondergaat. Het blijkt dat de kanker hoogstwaarschijnlijk via haar lymfeklieren zijn uitgezaaid waardoor ze één borst heeft laten amputeren en momenteel chemo behandeling krijgt en binnenkort ook bestraling. Ze geeft aan het het onbekende het engst te vinden zoals: zal de behandeling aanslaan, zal ik opnieuw weer kanker krijgen? Zo vind ze dat je met pijn om kan gaan en het leven met één borst, maar de zorgen om je eigen toekomst beinvloeden jezelf en de mensen waar ze van houd.
Shannen praat met Entertainment Tonight over haar strijd tegen borstkanker. Het complete interview verschijnt aanstaande maandag, hieronder al een preview
Afgelopen dinsdag deelt Shannen haar strijd tegen borstkanker op haar Instagramaccount door te documenteren hoe ze haar haren eraf scheert. Het laatst wat Shannen deelte over haar diagnose was in februari tijdens de Dr. Oz show, het in onduidelijk welke behandeling zij precies krijgt en in hoeverre deze aanslaat.
Shannen Doherty took to Instagram Tuesday night to share the step-by-step process of cutting off her hair and shaving her head as she battles breast cancer. Thankfully, she wasn’t alone: Pal Anne Marie Kortright and her mother, Rosa Doherty, were by her side throughout the emotional journey, which was documented and shared over the course of seven photos.
The 45-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 alum first announced her diagnosis in August 2015. “Yes, I have breast cancer, and I am currently undergoing treatment,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life,” she continued. “I am thankful to my family, friends and doctors for their support and, of course, my fans who have stood by me.”
The actress looked strong and happy when she reunited with her Charmed costar Holly Marie Combs at the Sydney Opera House in Australia last month.
