The Bold and the Beautiful has been delivering the drama involving the Forrester Creations takeover. Hope warned Daphne Rose to back off. She doesn’t want her to make another play for her man. Offscreen, Annika Noelle has gotten to know newcomer Murielle Hilaire. See what she has to say about the French actress.

Catfight

This is a fight for the ages. Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is caught in the middle of Hope (Noelle) and Daphne (Hilaire). The two are fighting for his attention. Carter has gotten close to Daphne in recent weeks. He even admitted to her that he feels guilty about stealing Forrester Creations from his best friend, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye).

Hope is blissfully unaware of what’s going on. She assumed that they were on the same page. She quickly forgot about their fight on Valentine’s Day when Carter suggested apologizing to Ridge and Eric (John McCook). Instead, he ended up with a broken heart and hasn’t been the same since. Carter can’t shake that steamy kiss he shared with Daphne.

And yet, Hope saw it all. She wasn’t willing to back down. She warned Daphne not to make a play for her man. It’ll be interesting to see what Daphne does next. Will she go back to Paris? Or will she steal Carter away from Hope? We’re excited to see what unfolds.

Working On My French

In a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, Noelle got candid about those tense scenes. She revealed what it was really like to work with Hilaire. The two have grown fond of each other off-camera. Noelle also has a good excuse to work on her French now.

“I’m so happy to have somebody to practice my French with, and I’ve so enjoyed getting to know her,” Noelle gushed. “I just feel like there’s so much potential for storyline and so much fun we can have, so I’m really looking forward to what they throw her way and what kind of stories come from this. I’m just hoping I get more time to share scenes with her and also pratiquer mon français with her!”

Noelle admitted that Hope was “fangirling” over Daphne at first. But that all changed when she caught Daphne with Carter. She feels hurt by this betrayal—not just by Daphne but also by Carter, who told her that he would support her no matter what. “And unfortunately, that irresistible charm of hers hit a little too close to home for Hope’s liking!” Noelle added.
