popular soap opera for 19 years, since 2002.
Over the years, the role of Hope Logan has been filled by many actresses, including several child actresses, but who plays Hope now? We’ll get to the shortly but first, let’s talk about all of those who have filled the shoes.
The Bold And The Beautiful – The Many Faces Of Hope Logan
From 2002 to 2009 Hope Logan was portrayed by child actors, twins Amanda and Rachel Pace and, by 2005, was being portrayed as a young five-year-old. In December of 2009 it was announced that Hope was being rapidly aged and a new actress, Kim Matula would then fill the role.
In November of 2009 Matula began filming on The Bold and the Beautiful as Hope Logan and, on January 11, 2010, her first show was aired. On November 5, 2014, Kim Matula announced that after five years on the show, she would be leaving.
Her final appearance was in December 2014, though the actress has returned a few times for guest appearances. In November of 2017 a new actress, Annika Noelle, was announced as the new Hope Logan.
B&B – The Reason Hope Was Aged And Who Fills The Role Now
Fans may recall that Hope was born out of a scurrilous affair between Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), and Deacon Sharpe, played by Sean Kanan, who at the time was married to Brooke’s oldest daughter, and Hope’s older sister, Bridget Forrester, played by Ashley Jones.
And Hope has had a long troubled life since the beginning with Deacon being forbidden to be part of her
life and a bitter custody battle following that.
As the The Bold and the Beautiful character, Hope was portrayed as the polar opposite of her mother, Brooke. Hope’s character was aged, according to head writer Brandley Bell, to allow them “to bring the next
generation of Logans to the forefront, as well as play a broader range of the Forrester vs. Logan story.”
So, with all that information, who is it that plays Hope on The Bold and the Beautiful now? That is still Annika Noelle and has been since 2018.
