Annika Noelle is going along for the ride with Hope’s personality change.

Hope has fully entered her “delulu era” when she kissed Thomas on The Bold and the Beautiful. Her transformation continues to keep fans on their toes. Now, she’s trying to hold onto Forrester Creations and her new man, Carter. Annika Noelle is going along for the ride. She’s fully embracing Hope’s new villain arc.

Little Mis Delulu

We talked about the time when Hope’s personality changed. She was affectionately called Little Miss Delulu. Soap Hub was the first to call it out. Now, in a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, Noelle confirmed that Hope has been in her own little world lately. She has no idea that Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is reeling with guilt or that Steffy (Jaqueline MacInnes Wood) is pulling the strings.

“She seems to be very in her little delulu world, you know? I don’t want to say that she’s power-tripping, but I do think she’s a little out of touch with what other people are going through and what they’re feeling right now,” Noelle said. “I think that’s also because a small part of her does know; she just doesn’t want to confront it.”

Hope could be afraid to face reality. Not only could she lose her position at FC, but she could also lose Carter to Daphne (Murielle Hilaire). Noelle hinted that Hope’s “digging her heels into the denial” because she’s not ready to face the truth. However, Hope has no idea that Steffy hired Daphne to seduce Carter. Wait until she finds out!

A New Era

Soap Opera Digest mentioned that Hope’s personality change. Noelle fully embraced her alter-ego’s “delulu era.” She explained that Hope became “careless” because she was trying to “protect herself.” She gets a sense of power from the FC takeover. This era is just getting started. The B&B star hinted that there’s more to come for Hope, and she’s going along for the wild ride.

“I think she’s going about things in ways that I don’t think Hope would have approved of in the past,” Noelle teased. “I just take what they throw at me, and I do the best I can to bring truth to it. I hope that this leads to some kind of reckoning; I’m hoping for her to understand, maybe, that how she’s gone about it wasn’t the best.”

Noelle also shared her wishes for her onscreen persona. She would like to see Hope empower herself and move on from Forrester Creations. Hope now has the experience and know-how to start her own company. “I’m really interested to see what comes of it, and we have some very exciting things coming up,” Noelle said. She added that Hope’s headed for a “big wake-up call.”
