B&B If Susan Flannery would retire from the show.

Death in a battle royale with Sheila

Nooooo, way too depressing.

I prefer my cruise idea. And it would be a nice shoutout to the actress in my eyes. Besides, can you just imagine the absolute horror of Ridge and Eric and many of the others? It would be awesome.

And if she had a romance I wouldn't mind her dying either, in the arms of the person who loves her. And no, Eric does NOT cut it. Neither does Massimo. Hence new romance. Hence gay romance to make it clear that this is different from any other love she has had before.

One last one...I promise. But I really think, since Sally "lives" off screen, that if they don't send Stephanie to be with her mother, they should send her to be with Sally.

First of all I think it should be Flannery's decision, Stephanie Forrester is HER creation, she IS her, she should decide.

But here are three options:

1-Stephanie, alone, sad and just 'done' with life gets a call from Sally and heads off on an adventure, happy and free of her commitments to her family. Instead of being possessive of others Stephanie finally possesses herself and leaves without any baggage. She discovers that LA is no longer home, she doesn't care anymore. She's had it and she's moving on! Then, as she's leaving, she burns down the Forrester mansion, with the satisfaction that neither Brooke or Donna or Jackie will ever have the satisfaction of living there. The scene would sort of be a black comedy, Stephanie would burn the house down, delighted in her freedom.

2-Stephanie gets into her final showdown with Brooke and has a heart attack while attempting to strangle Brooke to death. Stephanie's death would send ripples throughout the show as everyone turns on Brooke, giving Stephanie the victory she so longed for in life, only achieving it in death.

3-Stephanie would be alone in the Forrester mansion while the rest of the family was at a big event of some kind (perhaps a fashion show or another Logan wedding) and the entire episode would be just Flannery in a monologue (perhaps looking into a mirror) as Stephanie recounts where she is, how she got there and where she's going. The episode would be a complete run through of Stephanie's run on the show and would end with Stephanie either walking out the door to places unknown, killing herself, simply dying naturally or gleefully burning the mansion to the ground.
