Holly Combs posted old photos showing special moments they shared. In her caption, she mentioned that a photo that meant a lot to her was missing. She said Shannen Doherty, before she died, had jokingly said she feared she would haunt her, adding humor to their lasting friendship.

"I spent all day looking for one particular picture and found just about every picture but that one," she wrote. "Shannen promised to haunt me, but I thought she'd be occupied with a few others at first. Alas, I'm sure it will show up when and where I least expect it. My rock. 10:18."

"It's been one week, and it feels like forever," Combs wrote, referencing Doherty's death on July 13. She described spending the entire day searching for that one elusive picture among the many memories they shared. Despite not finding it, Combs expressed confidence that it would appear unexpectedly, just as Doherty had predicted. Combs referred to Doherty as her rock and signed off her post with a poignant time marker: 10:18.

In February, Doherty joined Combs and McGowan on stage at MegaCon Orlando. They reunited for a panel discussion, celebrating their time together on 'Charmed' and highlighting their lasting friendship off-screen.
