SHE IS THE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL!!!! MISS HER!!

It's now 2023 and i still got Tears in my Eyes. I grown up with Susan Flannery, she was like a third Grandmother to me. ❤❤

[@loriethomas169]

She was the heart and soul of this show. When this video came out years ago I must have watched it a dozen times. So happy it popped up again

[@lindajackson2382]

Me too! Never gets old! Such a fun party!

[@diva777]

SUSAN FLANNERY IS A LEGEND! None could play the role of Stephanie Forrester better than her. Thank you for entertaining us.

[@justinjuerakhan7934]

If Stephanie does come back in the future even though she’s dead, it might not be played by Susan, it might be played by One Life to Live’s Erika Slezak

[@sallymiller9147]

@@justinjuerakhan7934 I'm Sure when the Time Comes For Susan Flannery to kick the bucket, "Knock on wood", I'm sure, I know that Joseph Mascolo would be waiting for her and Leading Her into the Light, and take her place on the right hand of Our Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Jesus Christ, Along with all the other Celebrity's that have passed on Before Her, Like, Robert Reed, Ann B Davis, Florence Henderson, Robin Williams, Michael Clarke Duncan, Carrie Fisher, Debby Reynolds, Mike Wallace, Burt Reynolds, Marcia Wallace, Gene Wilder, Adam West, Christopher Lee, Robert Stack, Leonard Nimoy, Judge Wapner, Bob Hoskins, John Herd, Dennis Hopper, Heath Ledger, David Bowie, Muhamed Ali (Boxer), Robert Goulet, etc. etc.

[@endtimes9212]

Agree!!

[@lindajackson2382]

Agree! First watched Susan as Dr. Laura Horton on Days of Our Lives on NBC!

[@lindajackson2382]

SO VERY TRUE!

[@ednasingleton864]

This is so cool! Everybody's retirement party should be like this.

[@lucascarreviews]

Edna Singleton hope one will be like that

[@kcococandi1]

It's 2020 and I'm crying, this was so awesome. You could see the love in their eyes. Susan was a great actress and Stephanie will always be one of my favorite soap characters

[@julieet52]

I am here in 2020 also. What a great send off they gave her. A most wonderful actress. I truly admire her.

[@shimaanabilseddik7944]

I’m here from 2022 love Susan for her legendary performance of Stephanie Forrester.❤

Me too dear I love her to bits

I'm tearing up just watching this. Farewell, Susan Flannery. We'll miss you very much and we love you !

[@deebap9605]

Susan Flannery is best actress Daytime Television has ever seen

[@christineconti3317]

There's so much love in that room gorgeous

[@anniegillespie7935]

I have to watch this every few months just for a lift. Susan Flannery was a part of my life from the time I was about 8 years old. The love they show her just makes me feel good every time I watch it. Way to go Bold and the Beautiful a perfect send-off for the queen!

[@DustyGrapes]

Everyone's last day at work when retiring should be like this:)

[@patriciagurwitz509]

vixen2450 Yes! How beautiful to celebrate memories

[@juliusbeaufort4963]

no...I want to make it as fast as possible!

[@anthonymeans9702]

OK! Talk about a banging send off

[@thomasrokos5433]

Never could repay this extremely talented actress. You have provided years of entertainment for some of the roughest years of my life. Thanks, seems so little for someone that has given the world so much. God Bless you now and always Ms. Susan Flannery. Much love always. Tom from Manassas, Va

[@mexxwheeler]

Ich kann jeden Satz nur unterstreichen! Ganz gleich empfinde ich auch ! Alles Liebe, Susan - Sie haben sich den Ruhestand verdient ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KimishaLPierce]

How adorably, hysterically, AWESOME is this, what a send off!!!! No tears, everybody just bustin' a move. I LOVE how much they LOVE Susan!!!!

[@naynaybeme]

Congratulations Susan on your retirement 26 years well done!! God Bless, we love you always :D

[@lorikodama8212]

This was beyond awesome!! Those "break dancing Stephanie's" were a great touch!

[@video198712]

They should have done something like this for Ronn as well. This show will never be the same with out Susan Flannery or Ronn Moss.

[@rachelramsey3203]

That is so true,the show hasn't an never will be the same without Susan and Ron.And they need new writers also.These storylines aren't good

[@ericwatkins9554]

I agree

[@cocoafemme47]

Mary Ann Wittkowske: 5/14/20......Doubt that you will see this response but, I'll post it anyway. I have a strong feeling that a grand send-off like this one, was NOT given to Ronn Moss BECAUSE....he just upped and....QUIT.....without preparing the show's writers and the other powers that be, leaving them with a huge HOLE in the show that took quite some time to fill. Plus, the reason he left, DEMANDING more money? What an entitled, PAST-HIS-PRIME......brat!! As far as the show not being the same because he's gone? I will admit, it is DIFFERENT, but.....NOT worse for wear. Brooke and Ridge's relationship is certainly NOT as fiery as it was when Moss had the part; however, lasting romantic love DOES change as the years progress. And, I highly DOUBT that seeing Ronn Moss' very GAUNT body exposed in the intimate scenes that Brooke and Ridge have, would NOT be entertaining, AT ALL.

[@ericwatkins9554]

@@cocoafemme47 i agree some what but if you been watching the bold and the beautiful like myself. I have watched this show since 1994 and Stephanie, ridge,Taylor, the original sally spectra and sheila carter those characters and the original character thorne Forrester they made the show what it was they are bold and the beautiful the best years of BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL was when willam j bell was still the original creater and producer from 1987- 2006. Once he died his son William j bell jr took over in 2007 and even though i still watch the show us original fans can tell that now the soap is only 30% of what it once was. Which is sad. Bell jr doesn't know how to write a soap opera series like his dad to be honest.

[@RD-lx1gy]

We miss you Susan

[@TheTraveler976]

So well deserved B&T&B ain’t been the same since she’s been gone. Classic

[@chrisparker7256]

Nearly 10 years later and she is still SO missed. We love you Susan!!!!

[@ceekay2390]

Aw, I love Susan Flannery. Happy to see so much love for her!

[@mariannestevens6571]

My husband and I were in tears all week watching your final episodes. You are so loved by so many. May God bless you always. Thanks for the wonderful, exciting, fun and crazy memories! NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE YOU! YOU TRULY ARE ONE OF A KIND!

[@brownigirlpie]

We need her back. She was great as the matriarch.

[@AllYouNeedIsLove601]

Wonderful send off for Susan Flannery, so we deserved. Yesterday's B&B episode was heartbreaking. Cried my eyes out. Kept hoping for a miracle in the last few episodes but knew it wasn't to be. Can't imagine her not on the show any longer. She was the backbone to the whole soap right from the very start, Boy or boy, did 25 years go by ever so quickly. Susan (Stephanie) will be sorely missed. I hope the soap can survive without her.

[@HeartVisions]

One GREAT actor! Gonna miss Susan SO much. They can get a better Ridge, but there's NO replacing Susan! God speed Susan for the length of your journey!

[@hopeburks8940]

I was so hurt when Queen left Bold, Beautiful , God bless her little heart

Miss her now more than ever... Dear Susan Flannery... hope you are enjoying retirement and are well and happy... you were and still are the heart of B&B!... God Bless!

[@emlem52]

Now THAT is how you do a send off. Well done B&B and CBS! You did her right!

[@denise31969]

Susan, I began watching the bold and the beautiful since it's debut many years ago. As time went on I fell in love with the character you portrayed Stephanie Douglas Forrester... Your character has dealt with some serious life changing issues. You are a true inspiration to all your fans young and old. On November 26th 2012 an entire fan network was saddened by Stephanies death! Truly a somber day in daytime tv!!! May you enjoy your new found endeavors in which ever they may be!!!

[@mediterranea1983]

she is indeed the bold and the beautiful, it wont be the same without her ridge or brooke

[@thebelissima64]

I love Susan Flannery. She brought us unforgettable matriarch Stephanie Forrester and I am forever grateful.

As I have said before and I will keep saying Ms Cannery and Katherine Kelly Lang had some of the best fight scenes on daytime TV Nobody gave a better soap opera face slap than Susan Cannery, who I consider the queen of soap opera face slappers

[@catholicpriest1]

The last large room they entered was Studio 31 where they did B&B all those years (minus the sets). Studio 31 is right next door to 33 where The Price is Right is taped. They have to stop tapings of B&B sometimes when the audience gets too loud in Studio 33.
