[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 143774, member: 719"] I loved to hate Stephanie thanks to Susan Flannery, but her character had been a dead end for years. What I hated when she died is that they did not have her favorite son come to the funeral, since Ronn Moss had also left. [I]The Bold and the Beautiful[/I] is also an interesting study of how the way a character is written matters, and not just the actor or actress (which often is the claim made by actors who let it go to their heads, and by their obsessed fans). Joanna Johnson as Caroline had such a Grace-Kellyesque quality and fit the role perfectly, so much so the show was nicknamed "Caroline" in many countries where it aired. When the actress left because she had mental health issues, the ensemble show survived, but when the actress wanted to return to the show years later, they gave her the role of her long-long twin, Karen.
