B&B: Susan Flannery interview


Recommended Posts

First off, it is sad to see that journalism in Australia has not improoved much since my time there.

Secondly, Wow, what a great interview with Susan. Is anyone worried about her talking about leaving B&B? That would be huge news, not only the US soap news, but abroad as B&B, like the show said, it uber popular in many countries. I would argue B&B is more popular and held to a higher esteem in every country that airs it compared to the US.

What an amazing interview! It lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. 15 minutes for a soap star interview is pretty impressive - we don't get that kind of duration over here - good on Ten. They also managed to touch on numerous topics - Susan's personal life, B&B, vacation plans, Kenya, the WGA strike, and the presidential election.

Susan came off as such a thoughtful, and down-to-earth person. Genuinely nice. I like her so much more now. B&B without Stephanie would seem pretty bizarre. Her leaving plans didn't come across as something she is considering putting into affect anytime soon - more just a thought that she's been mulling over, that keeps getting put on hold. Here's to Susan putting them on ice for a little longer.

I agree. Cast consistency is a big plus for a soap. In this case, the vets still get a lot of air time and hold the show together, especially Stephanie.

The only vet I can see the show surviving without is Eric. He is typically a supporting role to the other three.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
