Top 10 Reasons We’re Glad B&B’s Stephanie Is Alive
B&B’s Stephanie came thisclose to being another Los Angeles crime statistic. Here are the top 10 reasons we’re glad she survived her latest shooting.
10. She can finally put all that therapy she got from Taylor about being a kinder, gentler person to good use. (Stephanie to Taylor in therapy: “I got to thinking, I wondered what would my life be like now — what would I be like now — if I had the opportunity to confront my father?!”).
9. The staff at Forrester Creations can count on her continuing to make each new fashion show a bigger spectacle than the last.
8. She can outbark Pam’s Doberman, Tiny. (“That dog could eat Cujo for breakfast!” — Donna)
7. The next time one of her children needs to be brought back from the dead, she can find them an eleventh-hour miracle cure like she did for Felicia. (“I want Christmas to be like last year, with all our family here, and everyone included — but without the dying part!” — Felicia, Christmas 2006)
6. The Forresters’ insurance agent can look forward to further increases in their liability premiums with Stephanie’s future machinations.
5. She’s the only one who knows how to get a fire started at the Big Bear cabin. (Eric: “People our age don’t have cabins up in the mountains any more. This chopping wood is killing me!” Stephanie: “I’m not selling this cabin, I LOVE it!”)
4. Lt. Baker will be promoted to “permanent LAPD liaison officer to the Forrester family.” (“There’s nothing ‘open-and-shut’ where the Forresters are concerned!” — Lt. Baker to Charlie)
3. Once Stephanie recuperates, she and Donna can take their grudges into the ring in a no-holds-barred ladies’ pro-wrestling match. (Donna: “It’s your funeral.” Stephanie: “Not if I get my hands around that scrawny little neck of yours first!”)
2. More Stephanie = more Betty White. (“I wanted to get you back here [to L.A.] as quickly as possible…I was afraid you might not leave Chicago otherwise!” — Ann to Stephanie).
1. Ridge and Brooke don’t know how to argue and break up without having her to fight about! (Ridge: “Will you stop paying so much attention to her?” Brooke: “I can’t stay married to you if you’re going to keep siding with your mother!”)
