The Bold & The Beautiful’s always fashionable, headstrong matriarch, Stephanie Forrester, aka Susan Flannery, shocked fans after her abrupt departure from the longest-running soap opera. The daytime television icon was part of the main cast for 25 years until her character, Stephanie Forrester, died in 2012. Given that death is not definitive in the soap opera world, with many characters returning from the grave, fans still held onto the hope that Susasn Flannery might make a fashionable comeback.
Fans will remember Susan Flannery, aka Stephanie Forrester, is known to fake her death to get her former TV son Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss) to surrender to her will. She even faked a heart attack in hopes that her son would get back with his psychiatrist wife, Taylor Hayes.
So when Susan Flannery announced her exit alongside Ron Moss, aka Ridge Forrester, dealing a devastating blow to fans, they still held on to a sliver of hope that she might return someday. When The Bold And The Beautiful alum’s voice returned for almost 30 seconds in 2018 as Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) played a message on her wedding day, fans were sure they would see her again.
