The WB announced on Thursday that Rose McGowan -- who appeared in SCREAM and JAWBREAKER, but is nearly as well-known for her past relationship with shock rocker Marilyn Manson -- will play the long-lost sister of Phoebe, Piper and the late, lamented Prue on CHARMED during its fourth season. Best known for playing vixens, McGowan will undoubtedly increase the onscreen tension among the bewitching sisters of CHARMED. Let's just hope she gets along better offscreen with the other actresses than Shannen Doherty reportedly did before her expected departure at the end of this season. Jordan Levin of The WB said that Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs have set 'a high bar,' adding that the network was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with McGowan.
