Here’s Who Annika Noelle Thinks Hope Will Pick In The End

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Hope has got a lot of inner turmoil going on. After she turned down Thomas’s multiple wedding proposals, and he subsequently left town and got engaged to Paris, she fantasized about Finn. But realizing it was a bad idea, she commiserated with Carter, and the two kissed. Meanwhile, Liam seems to want to rekindle things with her. Annika Noelle opened up about who she thinks will be the one for Hope.

A Muddled Affair

While fans think the Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) kiss might just be a red-herring to push them back to previous lovers, Noelle had her own thoughts on the subject. Liam wants to put their family back together, but she doesn’t believe he can only have eyes for her. Meanwhile, it’s rumored that Matthew Atkinson may return soon as Thomas, messing with her heart even further. But now, with this new attraction to Carter, things could get even messier.

Noelle spoke to Soap Opera Digest, explaining that Liam’s (Scott Clifton) plea for a reunion muddles things. She said that for Hope, “I do think it brings her some clarity about what she wants…and what she doesn’t.” After the Finn debacle, where she kept fantasizing about him and ended up kissing him — raising his wife Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) ire — Hope definitely needs some clarity.

She Can (Hopefully) See Clearly Now

That point was not lost on Noelle who feels that Hope’s been flailing about emotionally since Thomas moved away. “I’m hoping she finally makes some healthy decisions for herself and her family and keeps her head up high,” Noelle stated, adding that Hope needs to rely on her own strength, not that of another boyfriend or husband, insinuating that she’ll have to choose herself first.

But if she and Carter start to pursue a relationship, Noelle explained that he will have to come to terms with the fact that “Liam is going to be a part of the picture. Carter is going to have to find out where he fits in all that.”

For Hope, Thomas and Liam were toxic relationships and she may need some space to find herself first before allowing another man, even Carter, into her life.
