- Fans speculate that T.W. King left Charmed due to major fights with Shannen Doherty. An unknown source admitted that when Ted's character Andy had died, Shannen was overwhelmed by joy. Other fans say that he wanted more scenes, but the producers couldn't come up with more story-lines, which led to his death. Still others maintain the more plausible reason was that he wanted to leave to pursue more acting roles. It is somewhat notable that unlike Shannen, he allowed his face to be used in future episodes.
