Did you know?!

A first
Combs was the sole cast member of Charmed to show up in every single episode, and that includes the original unaired pilot.
Big break
Combs tried out for the role in New York. A casting director said she lacked a big enough heart, so Combs shot back, "If you're looking for someone with a big heart, what the hell are you doing in New York?" The job was offered to her after a callback.
Behind the camera
Combs agreed to a Lifetime deal to both produce and act in Mistresses, a show adapted from the British original. That version of the series, however, was never broadcast.
