Members dragonflies Posted December 7, 2010 Members Share Posted December 7, 2010 Can a mod fix the thread title? Thanks http://insidetv.ew.c...6000th-episode/ Kathryn Joosten (Karen McCluskey onDesperate Housewives) will guest star on The Bold and the Beautiful, EW has learned exclusively. The actress will play herself in a story arc involving Nick Marone (Jack Wagner) and Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) that centers on lung cancer. In the episode, Stephanie befriends real-life lung cancer patients and survivors and meets them one-by-one in her home to hear their stories of diagnosis, treatment and hope. Joosten, a two-time cancer survivor, is among the visitors in the drama's 6000th episode. The episode tapes Dec. 17 and will air on Feb. 7. Joosten reportedly gave up her 45-year smoking habit in 2001 after she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Eight years later, she was diagnosed again but underwent surgery. She was declared cancer-free earlier this year. Ironically, the daytime sudser has long been tied to Desperate Housewives and the character of Karen, though that's not how it secured Joosten for the role. The Bold and the Beautiful's Alley Mills (Pam Douglas) is married to Orson Bean, who plays Karen's husband on Housewives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 um isnt Stephanie already dealing with lung cancer right now? Why give it to a second character? This would best be utilized in Stephanie's story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 Remember when Stephanie sought counseling from Taylor. 2 weeks later Nick was on Taylor's couch and discovered: "my mother... my other was a w-h-o-r-e..." In Brad's mind La Flannery and Wagner are totally intertwined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 Brad says this is to give the story more scope. Nick discovers the lump or whatever in his throat, but it's just a cancer scare. Stephanie will tie into the plot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
