Susan Flannery's Stephanie to face "biggest mountain"In the cliffhanger of the September 24 episode of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, matriarch Stephanie Forrester will find out that she has stage 4 lung cancer. Stephanie will stubbornly refuse treatment and decide to keep the dire news from her family, choosing instead to spend her final months checking off items on her bucket list.
Says executive producer/head writer Brad Bell: ""I wanted to create the biggest mountain possible for Stephanie to overcome. It's the weightiest, most intimate and difficult thing she has ever had to wrestle with and to have to share it with Brooke is torture. This is a story about a highly functioning woman that will delve deeply into issues of self-worth and denial. But it's not going to be morbid or depressing. Stephanie is determined to party right into her grave. It'll be a hell of a lot of fun to watch."

How long does it take? Our involvement in the Middle East really hinges on oil. It really does. Think about it: Do you think otherwise we would have given a damn about Saddam Hussein or about any of those people? We couldn't have cared less. We are there because of oil."

Kelli Giddish and Cole Hauser Talk CHASE (premieres tonight)
Giddish: "She's got the same kick-butt attitude as some other characters we've seen that are great action stars with different as - the show takes place in Texas and she's a Texas girl and she's also coming from a family that...You know, I mean, her father is a criminal, is an outstanding fugitive. So she's a girl that ended up on the right side of the law, and to see how that happened and why she's so committed to her job, I think is going to be a really interesting journey."
