Soaps.com reported on “The Bold and the Beautiful” star Annika Noelle’s now-expired October 17 Instagram Stories post, which involved a Q&A session with fans. The topic of Hope and Thomas’ relationship was hotly debated, and one viewer asked if Noelle was hypocritical for being in favor of the pairing. She immediately retorted, “Hi there, my name is Annika. I’m a professional actor who is paid to say what is written for me in a script and promote such work. […] Whether or not we agree with the story or our character’s choices.”
The soap star continued by firmly stating that she wouldn’t involve herself in the fan debate, nor would she choose a position for or against Thope: “If you want to know what I stand for, I make it very clear on my personal Instagram. Believe that.” Noelle further elucidated, for those who were unaware, that she and Hope aren’t actually the same person, but she attempts to portray her, “As genuine[ly] as possible.”
Co-star Scott Clifton has come under fire for Liam Spencer’s bad choices in the past, and she quoted him by saying, “In [his] immortal words: ‘[…] my job is to find a way to motivate and humanize […] choices. I can’t change the story our writers want to tell; I can only try my best to make it evocative and real.’” Clifton did acknowledge on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Liam is “a terrible person” though.
