At the time, the actress was fresh off another sitcom,8 Simple Rules, and was feeling "the hottest [she's] ever been."

Charmedpremiered in 1998, with Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, and Shannen Doherty playing three magical sisters: Phoebe, Piper, and Prue Halliwell.

Dohertyabruptly exited the showat the end of season 3, following rumors of a feud with Milano. Her departure led to Rose McGowan being brought in to play the character of Paige Matthews in season 4.

Cuoco spoke about being the "new girl" showing up on set for a "gallery shoot," where she had to pose for photos with the cast.

"Imagine this: I've never met anyone. It's their gallery shoot," she said.

"I'm the new girl. You've got Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, and Holly Marie Combs. I've never met them," she continued. "Think about that. I'm joining their family photo, and I'm 21."

"Rose [was] maybe not as happy. I don't know," she said. "I still don't know if she likes me. I don't know."

"But Alyssa was amazing," she went on to say. "I was terrified. It's a weird thing coming into a show with them in year eight, and I only did the one season."

Her experience onCharmedstayed with her for a long time and impacted the way she dealt with newbies coming to her hit show theBig Bang Theory,on which she played Penny for all 12 seasons.

"I think about that withBig Bang… We wereon that show for 12 years. It's a weird – you know each other so well," she said.

"So anyone that came in, I was very aware of like, this must be so weird for you," she continued. "I always remembered that from Alyssa."

During a recent chat withIndependent,Cuoco spoke about how her time onCharmedwas "intense and difficult."

"I came intoCharmedreally not thinking anything other than I got this cool job," she told the outlet. "But it caused a few more waves than I imagined."

"It was intense and difficult," Cuoco said about her experience on the hit supernatural drama

After closing the chapter onCharmed,she said she was always more understanding of "new people coming in," no matter what job she took on afterward, whether it was "people behind the camera, or on camera, someone with one line…"

"There were a few people on that show that were wonderful to me," she said aboutCharmed,"and there were a few people that weren't. I remember them both very clearly."

The actress went on to say that she has been working on a set her whole life and had "very few" experiences that "weren't the best."

"But I remember thinking: 'I will always make sure every single person feels like they're part of the group,'" she continued.

"There's nothing worse than feeling outside of it, especially on a set when everyone is cliquey and has been together for so long, and there's a comfort level," she added, noting "it's tough" when someone new "comes into that."

On This Date: A Texas Dust Storm Reached Dallas-Fort Worth

A spring severe weather outbreak with damaging tornadoes usually grabs most of our attention.

But one year ago today on March 4, 2025, severe thunderstorms weren't the most bizarre thing we saw in an outbreak.

Yes, 30 tornadoes and over 500 reports of severe thunderstorm winds, wind damage and hail accompanied athree-day siege of severe weatherlast year across the South from Texas to the mid-Atlantic states from March 3-5.

But what captured many meteorologists' attention on the afternoon of March 4 was a massive plume of dust driven by high winds across the Plains fromsouthern Kansasto Texas.

What was a bit more unusual was the lofted dust reached as far east as the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex that afternoon, turning skies a surreal Martian brown.

From March 4-6, more than 1,300 reports of high wind gusts and another 335 reports of wind damage not from thunderstorms were received by the National Weather Service from the Plains to the East Coast.

And that was only the first such widespread wind event of the month.

Two other such events including severe thunderstorms occurred in parts of the country in mid-March, then late March.

By month's end,more than 2,000 reportsof severe thunderstorm winds and wind damage were received by the National Weather Service, a record for any March since 1950. The NWS also issued 164 high wind warnings in March 2025, most of any month since 2005.

Allergy Season Grows At Least 3 Weeks Longer Across Much Of US; It May Be Longer Where You Live

Allergy season has grown longer and stronger across most of the U.S. by an average of about three weeks since the 1970s, according toClimateCentral.org.

In a newly released study, the center's researchers found that 173 major cities got an extra 21 freeze-free days, giving plants more time to bloom and release the pollen that makes so many of us miserable.

About one in four adults and one in five children suffer from seasonal allergies, says the CDC.

(POLLEN SEASON 2026:Your Complete Guide)

Some regions and cities are seeing even more days above freezing, so if it feels like allergy season is starting earlier for you, it may not all be in your (congested) head.

(MORE:Spring Allergies Can Mess With Your Skin)

While all climate regions have seen their freeze-free season lengthen, the Northwest is leading that trend, with 31 more days. Allergy sufferers there now endure about 187 days of pollen between the first and last freeze of the year.

So is theseasonalpart of seasonal allergies becoming a thing of the past?

The growing season lengthened the most in Reno, Nevada, by 100 more days. Across the map to the South — Tupelo, Mississippi, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, are both seeing 51 extra days of allergy season.

This year, despite a record-breaking East Coast blizzard, the first leaves of spring were seen in early January in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Spring blooms are also arriving two to threeweeks early in parts of Colorado, Kansas and Missouri.

Climate Central blames warming temperatures and heat-trapping pollution for the earlier springs and longer allergy seasons.

Researchers have found that higher levels of carbon dioxide can increase pollen production, andone studypredicts that we'll be facing a 200% increase in pollen production by the end of the century.

So what can you do to cope?

Symptoms > Season

The calendar may not say spring, but your nose will know, so you may experience symptoms earlier or later than usual. So meet with your allergist or start your regimen early.

Protect The Indoors

US lawmakers set to vote on war powers as Iran conflict widens

By Patricia Zengerle

WASHINGTON, March 4 (Reuters) - Lawmakers in the U.S. Senate were set to begin voting on Wednesday on a bipartisan war powers resolution aiming to stop the ‌military campaign against Iran and require that any hostilities against it be authorized by Congress.

The ‌latest effort by Democrats and a few Republicans to rein in President Donald Trump's repeated troop deployments, sponsors describe it as ​a bid to take back Congress' responsibility to declare war, as spelled out in the U.S. Constitution.

"I do think it's really important to put every member of Congress on the record about this," Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, a lead sponsor of the resolution, told a telephone press conference ahead of ‌the afternoon's vote.

"If you don't have ⁠the guts to vote 'Yes' or 'No' on a war vote, how dare you send our sons and daughters into war where they risk their lives?"

Trump's fellow Republicans ⁠hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives, and have blocked previous efforts for resolutions seeking to curb his war powers.

Republicans accused Democrats of playing politics with national security and said Trump had ordered ​only ​limited operations, such as the capture of Venezuelan President ​Nicolas Maduro in January, not full-scale wars.

The ‌U.S.-Israel war on Iran, which began five days earlier, is already more extensive, leading to damage in Iran, Israel and throughout the Middle East, and claiming its first U.S. casualties.

The House vote on the measure is expected on Thursday.

On Tuesday, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana said he thought there were enough votes to defeat the resolution, describing it as an attempt to push something that could ‌put U.S. troops in harm's way and inspire Iranian forces.

"Imagine ​a scenario where Congress would vote to tell the commander-in-chief ​that he was no longer allowed to ​complete this mission. That would be a very dangerous thing," he told reporters.

His ‌remarks followed a classified briefing on the ​Iran conflict from top administration ​officials.

Even if the resolution passes the Senate, it must also pass the House and garner two-thirds majorities in both chambers to survive an expected Trump veto.

However, Kaine said that if ​the Iran conflict continued, he and ‌the measure's other backers could try again.

"Sometimes people will see things that concern them, ​and they'll vote 'No,' but then later as events continue to develop they may vote 'Yes,'" he ​said.

Iran player Sara Didar holds back tears responding to a war-related question at Women's Asian Cup

GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) — Sara Didar choked back tears as she shared the concerns of the Iranian soccer team for their families and loved ones at home amid thewarwhile they're in Australia contesting theWomen's Asian Cup.

Iran South Korea AFC Asia Cup Women's Soccer

"Obviously we're all concerned and we're sad at what has happened to Iran and our families in Iran," Didar said in comments translated into English during a news conference Wednesday on the eve of a Group A game against Australia.

"I really hope for our country to have good news ahead. And I hope that my country will be strongly alive."

The 21-year-old striker was part of the squad that stood in silence as the Iran anthem played at the Gold Coast Stadium before theiropening loss to South Korea on Monday.

The squad and management arrived in Australia well before the strikes by Israel and the U.S. on Saturday that led to the broader conflict.

Head coach Marziyeh Jafari and playersdeclined to commenton the war or the death of the country's Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khameneiduring their first official news conference of the tournament on Sunday.

On Wednesday, an Asian Football Confederation moderator asked reporters before the scheduled pre-match news conference to stick with football questions and refrain from asking about the war.

When a question was posed, Didar and Jafari each expressed concerns about the people in Iran.

"Obviously we have so much concern regarding the health of our families and our loved ones and all other Iranian people inside our country, which we are fully disconnected with," Jafari said, highlighting the limited contact because of blackouts in Iran.

"But, here, we are coming to play football professionally and we will do our best to concentrate on our football and match ahead."

A pocket of Iranian fans at Monday's game waved the red, green and white national colors and some pre-Islamic revolution flags, and chanted support for the team.

Jafari andDidar said the team was happy to have the supportof Iranian-Australians.

"We feel very good that we see many Iranians supporting us, it really encourages us and we really appreciate it," Didar said. "I know the stadium will be full tomorrow, and hope that we have a great atmosphere."

Australia coach Joe Montemurro said he wanted his team and supporters to greet the Iranian squad with compassion. Thursday's game is expected to draw a capacity crowd at Gold Coast Stadium. It'll be only the second meeting between the two women's national teams, with Australia winning the previous match at Perth in 2023.

"We want to give them the best tournament possible in terms of giving them the experience of a lifetime," Montemurro said. "For us, it's about just showing our human compassion, our respect and show them how beautiful we are as a country, and how beautiful we are as Australians."

Australia, the 2010 Asian Cup champions and semifinalist at the 2023 World Cup it co-hosted with New Zealand,opened with a 1-0 winover Philippines and can secure a quarterfinal spot with a win over Iran. The Iranians are in Australia hoping to qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, which means they have to finish in the top eight in the Asian Cup.

James Talarico projected to win Texas Democratic Senate primary

Texas Rep. James Talarico will win the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in Texas, CBS News projects, defeating Rep. Jasmine Crockett and securing enough votes to avoid a runoff in what could be one of the most closely watched races in this year's midterms.

He will face either incumbent GOP Sen. John Cornyn or conservative Attorney General Ken Paxton, who will face off in a May 26 Republican primary runoff.

The state's Senate primary is already the most expensive primary in history. For both Republicans and Democrats, the races are highlighting deep divisions within the party.

For Democrats, Crockett, a former public defender, has made national headlines for taking on President Trump and other Republicans, branding herself a fighter and appealing to the party's base. Talarico, a former middle school teacher and a Presbyterian minister-in-training, has focused his message on "politics of love" and inclusivity.

Democrats have not won a statewide race in Texas since 1994, but the party has been eyeing flipping the Senate seat since Beto O'Rourke came within three points of defeating GOP Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018. Democrats feel Republicans this year are even more vulnerable in Texas given the expensive and nasty GOP primary between longtime Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton.

But Democrats have struggled to unify behind a single candidate. Several high-profile Democrats were rumored to be considering a bid, including O'Rourke, Rep. Joaquin Castro and former Rep. Colin Allred. Allred, who challenged Cruz in 2024, jumped in the race in July, followed by Talarico in September.

The race in Texas is coming just months after Republicans in the state legislatureredraw the state's 38 House districtsunder President Trump's encouragement, leading Democrats to flee the state to deny them a quorum to vote on the new map. The Democrats' efforts garnered national attention and they raised millions, putting an extra spotlight on the Senate race.

The Dallas-area district Crockett represented in the House, the 30th, was one of the ones that was redrawn. On the December filing deadline, Allred dropped out of the Senate race, opting to run in the newly-redrawn House District 33, and Crockett entered the Senate race, setting up a showdown with Talarico. Republicans cheered Crockett's entry in the race, believing her to be the more beatable candidate in November.

With Talarico and Crockett agreeing on many of the issues, the race had come down to a personality clash. They have both been barnstorming the state, although with very different styles, and both have run combative ads against the other.

Talarico made national headlines in February when he wasscheduled to appearon CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," but the interview didn't air on the CBS broadcast network due to new FCC guidance. Colbert slammed the decision and instead ran the interview in full on the show's YouTube channel, which does not have to follow the same FCC guidance. Following the Colbert controversy, Talarico raised $2.5 million in the 24 hours afterward.

According toVoteHub, 1.5 million votes had been cast in the Democratic primary during the 11-day early voting period, more than double the number that were tallied four years ago.

The race faced some last-minute disruptions on Tuesday. A judge in Dallas County ordered the polls to stay open for an extra two hours due to mass confusion over new precinct voting rules, but thestate Supreme Courtstayed that decision and said ballots that were cast after the usual 7 p.m. CT closing time should be separated out. It's not clear how many ballots were cast after the deadline or what will happen to them.

Crockett — a Dallas-area resident who is leading in Dallas County by a sizable margin — said late Tuesday she didn't believe the election results could be known that evening due to the issues in Dallas.

"Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do. And so they specifically targeted Dallas County. And I think we all know why," she told her supporters.

Talarico did not declare victory in remarks to supporters in Austin, but said "we are confident in this movement we've built together." He also referred to the situation in Dallas as "voter suppression."
