During the July 15 episode, called “Shannen’s Magic Lives On,” Doherty suggested doing a reboot of the hit show.On Monday’s episode, Combs said she’s “had a little bit of time to reflect” on the fact that the podcast is moving on without Doherty.“I think she did as much as she could in the time that she had, but we did think we had more time,” said Combs. “That’s the really sad part.

We had big, big plans for this year. She didn’t think she was going anywhere anytime soon.”“It sounds terribly cliché … until it happens to you, you always think you have more time,” the actress continued through tears. “Life changes on a dime.”Combs went on, “I want everyone to know she was super happy to be here, and she was really happy to watch it again with fresh eyes, as she kept saying.
