Despite Soap Opera Digest reporting on Tuesday that she was staying, TV Line is now reporting that Monday's report by CBS Soaps In Depth was correct when it said actress Susan Flannery had informed producers and writers at "The Bold and the Beautiful" that she planned to leave the series at the end of her contract. To compensate, Flannery agreed to sign a short-term deal that would allow her to wrap up Stephanie Forrester's 25-year storyline.
