The Bold and the Beautiful: Susan Flannery’s Sudden Exit Shook the Soap World

In 2012, viewers were shocked as Flannery’s beloved character, Stephanie Forrester, was suddenly killed off. Her exit marked the end of an era, especially since she had been one of the soap’s cornerstones for decades. For many fans, the decision seemed irreversible, though in soap operas, “death” is rarely permanent.

Stephanie was famous for faking health crises to manipulate her family, and fans often joked that she could just as easily return one day. However, Flannery herself made it clear her departure was final. Interestingly, she exited the series alongside Ron Moss, the original Ridge Forrester, making the loss even more painful for longtime viewers.
