Bold and the Beautiful’s Annika Noelle Teases Road Bump For Forrester Creations’ Power Couple

Hope and Carter are “just getting started.” The Bold and the Beautiful star Annika Noelle shared what fans can expect in 2025. The power couple of Forrester Creations is about to face a major shakeup—this one is not of the corporate kind.

Hottest New Daytime Couple

Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope’s (Annika Noelle) relationship has soap fans buzzing. It was the romance that came out of nowhere in 2024. The couple teamed up in the name of love and revenge. Together, they took over Forrester Creations, ousting the family responsible for the brand.

In a joint interview with TV Insider, Saint-Victor and Noelle admitted they were shocked by this twist. Saint-Victor had no idea how far the show was going to go. He admitted that he was “in complete shock and happy surprise.” Noelle empathized with Hope because it was “personal” for her alter ego. 

“They’re saving Forrester Creations from small-mindedness, petty vendettas, and a toxic workplace. They think they’re doing the right thing for the company by shaking things up and changing leadership and trying to steer it in the right direction,” Noelle explained. 

It seemed like they got a villain edit. Their morals and integrity were called into question. (Get the reason behind their fall from grace.) Noelle and Saint-Victor argue that Carter and Hope are still “good people.” A lot of their swift decisions are a result of “pain” and “trauma” they suffered in their line of work. The couple found comfort in one another while running Forrester Creations. 

Not Smooth Sailing

At first, Hope and Carter’s relationship seems perfect. They don’t have any baggage. They were friends for a decade, which is why they skirted past the dating stage. But their relationship might hit a road bump in 2025.

Murielle Hilaire is said to make her debut as Daphne Rose on the Tuesday, January 7th episode. Noelle teased what’s to come. Hope and Carter’s relationship will immediately get tested. Right now, they’re on top of the world. They feel that nothing and no one can stop them.

That will all change when one woman dares to defy them. “But we’re just getting started with Hope and Carter, so I’m very curious to see if it really is a power couple that can withstand the test of time,” Noelle noted. She enjoyed working with Hilaire.

Noelle couldn’t contain her excitement about this new character joining the B&B universe. “I have had so much fun playing these scenes. I’m also really excited to have someone to practice my French with because she is a fluent French speaker, and she’s an incredibly talented actress, and I’m so excited to have her on board,” the actress exclaimed.

Hope and Carter’s relationship might be halted. Is it too much, too soon? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comment section.
