The Bold and the Beautiful’s Stephanie was the iconic Forrester matriarch who co-founded Forrester Creations. She had a legendary feud with Brooke, which thankfully evolved into a friendship. Although she was a wildly fierce woman, when she eventually faced cancer, her softer side came through and culminated in an emotional farewell that fans still talk about to this day. A recent milestone in her portrayer, Susan Flannery’s life was revealed on social media, stunning the fans.
Daytime Legends Reunite
On Instagram, Days of Our Lives star Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) shared an image that was a side-by-side picture of herself with Flannery and DAYS’ Suzanne Rogers (Maggie). On the left was the three of them from back in the day, and on the right was recent. She captioned it, “3 Susies have breakfast at Art’s Deli.”
Hayes continued: “The occasion: Susan Flannery, one of the great ladies of daytime or anywhere she turns up – is moving to Australia. Flannery was a beloved mentor and pal to Suzanne and me in our early Salem Days together.” The actress lovingly ended her bittersweet tribute with, “Laughs, love, tears, hugs…just like Salem. We will miss her ❤️⏳.”
