Shannen Doherty's mom, Rosa Doherty, is taking over the late actress' podcast 'Let's Be Clear.'
"I am going to be doing my best to try to continue this for her because that’s what we discussed she wanted me to do," Rosa told listeners. "Of course, I’m not her. I could never be her. I’m not as well-spoken as she was, but I’m here for all of you."
Rosa, who has been a guest on the show in the past, said the podcast "meant so much to me because I got to watch her do this when it was so special for her. And it helped her so much through everything she was going through."
