The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

All I can say is who will keep up with Brook & Donna if she leaves?

I'll miss her. She is very talented.

IF Susan Flannery leaves the show, I hope it is on her terms and of her own volition. Too many times, actors are fired for one reason or another - some reasons fair, and some not so much. So, in this day and age when soaps and their casts are not valued and appreciated, if an actor can leave on their own terms and leave on good terms with the directors and writers, then more power to them all. While it is a huge blow to the fans, it is a win-win as all parties are open to possible returns recurring status offers. I wish Darlene Connelly had the opportunity to ride off into the sunset on screen instead of this stupidity they do with her memory - Clark occasionally getting a card from Sally regalling them of the good times she is having with her drinks and cabana boys. *sniff* If only she had been able to say goodbye in her own way. If this is what Susan Flannery needs to do, then so be it. Better to leave, then to have writers scramble and try to piece something together if/when you die...

I think the only reason these rumors are going around now is because Eric Braeden (Victor Neuman) is leaving Y&R.

I'm not prejudiced against Susan because she is older. I am 65 myself, so that's ludicrous. I just think she has been wanting to go for a good while and since B & B won I think she might leave. No one actor's leaving will ever cause a show to go under. No one actor is that important or irreplacable. The part might never be recast, but other new characters can come on and be interesting. That's all I meant in my previous post.

I PERSONALLY WILL MISS STEPHANIE IF AND WHEN SHE LEAVES THE SHOW.MAYBE HER HEALTH IN REAL LIFE IS GETTING BAD,YOU KNOW LIFE GOES ON AND SHE DOES HAVE TO THINK OF HER HEALTH AND BEING WITH HER FAMILY.
