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.

On Sunday, November 13, The New York Times reported that American Media, Inc., which earlier this year purchased the licensing rights of both Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly from owner Source Interlink, in which the company now oversees all aspects including editorial, advertising, marketing and distribution, would be launching a new weekly magazine dubbed Reality Weekly.
