During their discussion, Doherty and Spelling tried to recall the "pivotal moment" where their friendship changed, because it was "like one minute, we were friends, and then one minute we weren't," Doherty recalled.

Spelling admitted to being a "swayer," which could have led to the demise of their friendship. Doherty agreed, adding, "You were always easily swayed. And it was very frustrating for me because I always used to tell you like, ‘Yeah, Tor, have an opinion.’ Like, you're smart, you're funny, you're talented. I loved you and I respected you and I wanted you to believe in yourself as much as I believed in you.”

Doherty put at least part of the blame on Spelling's boyfriend at the time, whom Spelling described as "abusive" and an "addict." The Charmed actress then discussed a couples trip she and Spelling took with their respective partners that led to a breaking point for her.

"I specifically remember looking at you and saying, 'You have to end it with him, or I'm going to actually kill him. Like, I can't stand by and watch this,'” Doherty said, adding that after that trip, she and Spelling  “started drifting apart.”

Doherty also cited some tension between the 90210 cast, with Spelling admitting that she would be "easily swayed" by the others, such as when Doherty, Luke Perry, and Jason Priestley appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone.

According to Doherty, several cast members, including Spelling, approached her as a group to tell her, "I should not be doing covers without the entire cast.”

While Spelling doesn't remember the magazine cover intervention, she notes that she had, and still has, a hard time speaking up for herself.

“I think when I was young, it was whoever was the alpha more at the moment would sway me," Spelling said.. "And I think I couldn't stand up for myself ... I didn't take ownership of anything. So it's like, you know, nice, nice, nice to everyone. But it's like you said, have a f---ing opinion about something. And I'm sure I did."

Years later, the actresses have buried the hatchet so deep they can't place the exact thing that broke up their friendship — though it sounds like it was just ordinary growing pains all friends go through, except a Rolling Stone cover rarely enters the conversation.
