Susan Seaforth Hayes, 82, revealed on Instagram on Aug. 5 that Flannery, 86 — whom she starred alongside on Days of Our Lives — was making a major life change with a move from Los Angeles to Australia.
To mark the event, Hayes shared a photo of herself, The Bold and the Beautiful alum and Suzanne Rogers in their early days of starring on Days of Our Lives. The trio could be seen side-by side, mirroring a more recent photo taken of them at a restaurant.
'3 Susies have breakfast at Art's Deli,' Hayes captioned the photo. 'The occasion: Susan Flannery, one of the great ladies of daytime or anywhere she turns up — is moving to Australia.'

Lang revealed that she and costar Ashley Jones attended a goodbye party for Flannery to celebrate the move to Australia, according to Soap Opera Digest, which also noted that Flannery has an adopted daughter named Blaise who lives in Australia with her children.
Flannery is known as a daytime TV legend, having starred in nearly 4,000 episodes of The Bold and The Beautiful from 1987 to 2012 (she also made appearances in 2018 and in 2023). Before that she starred in over 1,100 episodes of Days of Our Lives from 1966 to 1975.
She's also earned ten daytime Emmy nominations for her work in the Outstanding Lead Actress category for both soap operas. She eventually made history as the first actress to win the Lead Actress award for two different roles on two different soaps, per Soap Opera Digest.

Kelsey Plum Addresses Perceived Jab at Caitlin Clark from WNBA All-Star Game
Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum created headlines and stirred controversy after the WNBA All-Star Game when she said 'zero members of Team Clark' were present for the players' union's collective bargaining negotiations with the league. Now, the WNBA star has offered clarity on that comment. Appearing on the 'Bird's Eye View' podcast, hosted by Sue Bird, Plum explained that she was trying to make a joke about Clark and her group being 'hungover' during the All-Star festivities. 'The questions came in, and it was like, 'CBA, this, this, this.' It was like, 'Hey, Team Clark, they didn't make it to the meeting.' I was making a joke that they were hungover, even though our team nickname was 'hungover.' So it was like, 'At least we made it (to the meeting).'' Kelsey Plum on her Caitlin Clark comments after the WNBA All-Star Game Read More: Plum has a reputation for being really bad at telling jokes, often either not realizing the moment doesn't call for it or poorly conveying that she's joking. Following her comment to reporters, which came amid a battle between the WNBA and the WNBPA over the next CBA, it was picked up by the national media and became a point of discussion on ESPN and other programming. Meanwhile, many on social media took shots at Plum for seemingly suggesting Clark didn't want to help the players' union. In hindsight, Plum recognizes that she made a mistake in the moment. While she wanted to make a playful remark about Clark being hungover, she did it at a time when the WNBPA was trying to send a message about players receiving better pay following the league's $2.2 billion TV rights deal. 'I should have — like, hindsight's 20/20 — because of the shirts, because of the fans … I should have known it was a way more serious moment than a typical All-Star Game. Because I went into that press conference very, like, happy-go-lucky we won, you know?.' Kelsey Plum on recognizing the gravity of the moment before her joke about Caitlin Clark (H/T ESPN) As Plum said, Clark's backing of the WNBPA shouldn't be questioned. While Clark couldn't play in the WNBA All-Star Game, which Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, hosted, she was among the players wearing the black t-shirts that said 'Pay Us What You Owe Us.' : $78,066 salary in 2025 Plum, Clark, and the rest of the WNBA players are 'all on the same page' and 'unified' in their push for higher WNBA salaries after the CBA expires in October. Given Clark's major influence on historic television ratings and the WNBA's multi-billion-dollar TV rights deal, it's no surprise that she is among those seeking a higher salary in the years to come.
