I loved this storyline. It was fantastic. The writing back then was so superior to now. Susan Flannery is an amazingly talented actress. Her presence is missed on the show.
In those times the show would address issues that we're actually happening and Stephanie is the only one to do to parts so well. Bring back some of those clips. One things she kept In contact with these poor people and help them.
There have been many homeless storylines. Indeed Susan played it as realistically as she could. She didn't have makeup on, hair was a mess, and dirty clothes. Also her clothes were less than flattering to her figure. She wasn't made up to be a beautiful homeless person. She was just homeless.
It also gave some insight in how Stephanie really was without the burden of memories and pain she was always carrying with her. Her past infuenced her greatly and made her a person that needed to be in control.
This was a good storyline. I Always felt Flannery got short changed because so few storylines were acctually about her character. It was Always about who would end up with who in the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle.
And she should have earned an Emmy for this. I can’t believe she didn’t win until 2000 after 13 years of memorable and talented performances. The hour soaps had an unfair advantage.
The entire season is uploaded now, though this part is not up yet, just the shows leading up to it when she was homeless with Ruth Ann. Started in Season 4 right after Eric married Brooke. They’re on boldandbeautiful channel. They upload 4 new episodes daily. Season 4 is near the end, then they’ll start with Season 5. Seasons 1-4 are all uploaded in entirety. Just look under Created Playlists.
Mine favourite scene. Stephanie is back. She went through terrible time Beiing homeless. All thanks to Brooke Logan. But this time Stephanie roll the dice, give Brooke what she finally deserves. Breaking up here married.
Brooke is not the reason Stephanie lost Eric. Eric was tired of Stephanie way before Brooke or her Mother were ever a factor. Stephanie just conveniently enjoyed blaming everyone else for the failures of her many marriages to Eric on everyone but herself, and her inability to accept he just simply no longer wanted to be her husband, in spite of him often coming back for pity, guilt, or some other reason related to family, or manipulation. It was brought up many times by the kids how nobody was ever considering what ERIC wanted, with Stephanie always making herself a scorned victim!!
That's so true but you have to remember this is a soap opera. Without drama and storylines this show would have been boring. But it was Stephanie and Brooke, who in my eyes, made the show 🎉🎉
