Letterips from 2001 (first part)

I am so happy that Stephanie did not extend her hand to Brooke. Brooke is nothing but a tramp with absolutely no morals and she is unscrupulous just as Stephanie told her.

Words can't express how beautiful that wedding was. Thank you for allowing Stephanie and Brooke to put their differences aside. I caught my breath when Stephanie walked down the aisle with Brooke. I cried.

Stephanie finally reaching out to Brooke gave me goosebumps. I truly felt Brooke's happiness that day. Kudos to Katherine Kelly Lang and Susan Flannery for two powerful performances. Their performances are always spectacular, but these two episodes were a standout.

Yesterday and today's episodes are absolutely the best I have ever seen on any Show. Susan Flannery and John McCook are amazing. I'm a fan of Y&R too, and a very big fan of the Bell family. –Molly

I just had to let you know what a great show you have. I was overwhelmed when Stephanie went to the wedding and gave her support to Thorne and Brooke. She has so much class, dignity and character. She was right to do it for the future generations. Susan Flannery is such a powerful actress. I was proud of her. I have not believed in Thorne and Brooke´s relationship, so I didn't care about them getting married. I felt like Stephanie. What a super acting job! You could see the torment she was going through. She deserves an award. Keep up the great work B&B. You just keep getting better!

Wow, a reconciliation between Stephanie and Brooke. That was beautiful. I was really touched, but who will take the place of these two clawing divas if this reconciliation is for good? I do enjoy the catfights and it adds spice to the show. Great job B&B with having one up on the viewers. The surprise Stephanie turn around that is.

Now that Stephanie has surprised us all by walking Brooke down the aisle to marry Thorne, Brooke should give the company back to the Forresters.

I was crying with Brooke when Stephanie joined and hugged her. This will be one of B&B's best history in the making scenes. I felt what both of them were feeling.

I, too, am glad to see a return to storylines with Brooke, Thorne, Ridge, Taylor, Eric and Stephanie. Don't forget us loyal and mature viewers in your attempt to introduce teen storylines. I thought the episode where Eric and Stephanie visited Ridge and Taylor and learned that Taylor had forgiven Ridge's betrayal and deception and their family was intact was a classic.

I just watched today's episode with Stephanie walking Brooke down the aisle. I have not cried this hard in years! I cried so hard, I missed most of the show.

Susan Flannery's expressions were perfect. Finally, these two women make sense again.

Stephanie was right to tell Taylor she needed to get help to cope with her grief. Stephanie is the real psychiatrist in my opinion. Her instincts are usually lOO%.

Great performances last week by all of the actors, mostly Hunter Tylo and always Susan Flannery. Please have Eric on more and a storyline for him and Stephanie. Thank you. Love the Morgan saga.

Watching Susan Flannery and Katherine Kelly Lang is spellbinding. The whole room wears a perpetual smile while these two are conspiring. They compliment each other in every storyline.

One of the main reasons I have watched B&B over the years is to see Stephanie give Brooke HELL! Nobody can dish it out like Stephanie, the Queen Bee, can. I am just in dismay at the scenes that are going on between Stephanie and Brooke. Heck, I don't blame Stephanie for hating Brooke, I would have killed her by now for sleeping with all the men in my family.

I am SO happy to see Susan get that Emmy nomination she SO richly deserves. She is a spectacular actress and I love watching her performances. As far as I'm concerned, she's she’s not getting 1/4 of the acclaim she has so rightly earned.

I'll be rooting for Adrienne and Susan while watching the Daytime Emmys. Keep up the good work. Susan Flannery (and Stephanie Forrester) has been looking simply stunning since her return to Forrester Creations after her character's stroke. Talent, brains, and looks! I so hope she wins a daytime Emmy this year.

I love the show and I especially like Stephanie.

I'm a girl from Austria and I watch B&B a lot every day. Susan Flannery is the reason I watch the show. Her acting is so fascinating and she acts with so much passion. She's really the finest actress in that business. Please give Stephanie a storyline of her own. Actually, what's up with Stephanie and Eric? Regards, Martina B.

I just wanted to write and congratulate Susan Flannery, Adrienne Frantz., and the cast, crew, writers, and staff at B&B for this year's Emmy nominations! Especially to Susan, Adrienne, and the writers: YOU´VE HAD ONE HELL OF A YEAR! I have my fingers crossed!

Please let Ms. Flannery know that another B&B fan has logged in with heartfelt congratulations on her recent Emmy nomination. I watch only one soap, so I am glad to see it garner the kudos it deserves.

I fully support Stephanie. She's the only one with a conscience and family values.

Congratulations! I'm most thrilled about John McCook and, of course, Susan Flannery.. John McCook has been on your show since the beginning and at work we talk about the show all the time. Where is his storvline? It's so weird that an actor that is so talented is wasted because the show won't write for him. And yet he still is nominated for Best Actor. What is that saying to you? Thanks for listening!

Congrats to all who have been nominated, but especially to Susan Flannery.. She is one class act and she, like so many million others, know that Katherine Kelly Lang belongs there beside her and the others from the B&B. Susan and Katherine are so beautiful and so talented and they put the bold in the show. Thanks to Susan for validating all of us KKL lovers and soothing our ruffled feathers that our girl has been overlooked once again. KKL, millions adore you, I hope it is enough. When you are not on, I watch old tapes and fast forward through any scenes but yours and Susan's. You are a part of my life and the Emmys mean nothing. Good luck and thanks to Susan Flannery, the scene when you and Katherine came together over the photo album had everyone everywhere tearing up. It wasn't even a love scene, only the two best actresses on daytime doing what they do best. -Loyal in Cincy

Congrats to Susan, John, Justin and Adrienne! You all deserve it! Now, give Eric and Stephanie a storyline! They are Emmy nominees! Love the Brooke/Stephanie story. Two of daytime's best actresses ever! They have great chemistry together!

I just want to thank you for the wonderful scenes between Katherine Kelly Lang and Susan Flannery. They are magnificent together and I have to say that this is much more enjoyable than Stephanie trying to kill Brooke. Susan's faces are priceless and KKL is just amazing. Let's just keep them having enough friction to make it fun, but let's not go back to the bad days. Also, congrats to the Emmy nominees.

In addition, congrats to B&B for it’s nine Emmy nominations!! Go Susan and Adrienne on your nominations!! You two deserve it!! Good luck to everyone on B&B. Bring home the gold for best writing!!

I love the reuniting of Ridge with Taylor and their daughter. You can see true emotion in Ronn and Hunter's faces. I cried tears of joy along with them today. Susan was so convincing holding her namesake. Please know that we fans out here think your show is tops!

I like Stephanie much better now that she has finally accepted Brooke. I briefly saw Stephanie with a white spiked hair-do. It was very becoming. I have not seen her with it on the show, I especially like spiked hair!

Thank god Darlene Conley's Sally Spectra is getting a story line again! She's been on the sidelines too long. Let's get her mixing it up with Stephanie again! Conley and Susan Flannery bring out the best/worst of each other and their characters. They're the two best actresses on daytime TV.

Finally, Eric rushed into action and saved Stephanie’s life from Morgan. But I wondered how someone lying face clown in a swimming pool would have been able so soon to be up and so active as to go after Stephanie again like she did. Thank goodness she was arrested.

I am writing to state my pleasure about the Forrester men and the courage they display when their women are in peril. From Ridge's rescue of his wife, Taylor, to Eric's rescue of his wife, Stephanie. It was awesome! The Bold and tile Beautiful is a wonderful show.

Don't ever let Morgan out of jail. She is a bad girl. I felt really sorry for Stephanie on last week's shows.

Stephanie and Eric are the biggest and bravest and boldest characters I have ever seen! I love how Stephanie just rules the pin! I LOVE HER!! It's so sweet how Eric goes to the extreme for his family. I do think that they should accept Deacon and Bridget because he really has come A LONG way from being the person he used to be! Thank you… and I LOVE B&B!

I just wanted to tell you how much I love Susan's performance as Stephanie. She always gives sincere emotion to her lines and I just am in awe of her every time she’s on. I hope she reads this and feels much love and respect!

I’ve totally loved the show the last few weeks. The story with Deacon and Eric Sr. is so cool. John McCook has always been one of my favorite actors on the show but they haven't used him in so long. Please, please show us more with Deacon and Eric.

Brooke and Stephanie are the best actresses on the show. Keep up the good work.

If all women patterned their lives after Brooke, there wouldn't be any such thing as family. I think she is a terrible role model. I like Stephanie and Sally.

The Bold and the Beautiful is the best CBS soap opera, I love all of the actors and actresses, but I think the best male actor is Justin Torkildsen (Rick) and the best female actresses is Susan Flannery (Stephanie).

Yesterday's B&B was pretty cute! Especially Stephanie Forrester saying to Brooke: "I can't believe you're my daughter-in-law!" HA. GREAT. CLASSIC. LOVED IT. One line punch.

Three cheers for Stephanie Forrester! What a marvellous performance she articulated towards Brooke up at the Cabin. She gave her both barrels, no holds barred. Stephanie expressed everything that most of us are thinking but are too afraid to say. I almost split a gut when Stephanie referred to Brooke as "Brooke Logan Forrester-Forrester-Forrester!" What a genius remark that will forever go down in history. Great writing. Please give Stephanie and Eric more front burner storylines.

I would like to say that I enjoyed the episode on August 1, 2001! Susan Flannery cannot be beat. She is such a great actress and I loved the way Queen Stephers put Brooke Logan Forrester Forrester Forrester in her place. We all 'howled' with laughter. Great writing!

Please write Elizabeth (Brooke's mother) back into the story. Wasn't she Eric's first love? Then Stephanie stole him from her back when they were in high school when Stephanie claimed she was pregnant by the senior Forrester? I think Stephanie needs some competition. Maybe then she will leave her children alone to solve their own problems. More love trysts for the more mature characters in the show please.

I would just like to say that I find Susan Flannery's portrayal of Stephanie Forrester to be utterly mesmerizing and chillingly real She's definitely a character I love to hate! Mrs. Flannery is incredibly talented and I wish her the best of luck with her nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress this year. She certainly deserves another win.

We were behind John McCook in the taxi line at the Waldorf Astoria on Saturday evening. We left him alone to give him his privacy, but really would like to say to him it was great to see you in person and most of all just to compliment you on the fact that you are more handsome in real life. You aren't disappointing your fans on the streets sans makeup.

The present storyline, acting, casting and everything else with Deacon, Amber, Rick, Bridget, Eric, Stephanie, Brooke and Thorne is one of the "best" ever!
