Well folks, Kim Matula has left the building. Kim announced on her official Facebook page that she
has decided not to renew her contract with the Bold and the Beautiful:
"What can I say about today? I can officially confirm that I filmed my last scenes at The Bold and The Beautiful. For now. . It was a day full of love and laughter and reminiscing about the past 5 years. I made the incredibly difficult decision not to resign my contract so that I could spread my wings as an actor and see what this big beautiful world has to offer. But I can never put into words just how amazing and inspiring this show has been. What a huge part of my life. I do not see this as a "goodbye" but more of a "see you later." Thank you for giving me an unforgettable 5 years as Hope Logan and thank you to every single viewer who sat side by side with me on this journey. Cheers to the next adventure!!"
Who Will Be the Next Hope Logan?
The internet is buzzing with rumours and speculation on who
will be the next Hope Logan on the Bold and the Beautiful. When Kim announced she would not be renewing her contract, Brad Bell Jr. said
in November he would not be recasting the role. Since then an interview
published in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, reports “Hope Logan is a
critical and central character to the show.” He added, “Hope will continue to
be on the show. We’re losing Kim Matula, who is a brilliant actress, and I am
hoping, at some point, she will return in the role — but the role will
continue. I’ve lost so many actors and actresses in recent years that I’m
excited about the challenge,” said Bell.
Best of luck to Kim Matula and her future endeavors. Kim's last air date on B&B was December 12th, 2014.March 2015 Update: Kim Matula has returned in the beginning of March for one day of filming. Scott Clifton teased Hope's appearance may be a Skype call but he doesn't know with who.
Who do you think would make a good Hope Logan recast??
Personally, Kim Matula owns the part of Hope Logan. I don't think anyone can do that part justice. I don't want to see anyone else playing that character. Enough with the changes.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Kim Matula owns the role of Hope, however sometimes a recast can breathe new life into a character. Sometimes this works out really well (like Heather Tom as Katie) and sometimes not as well as we'd hope (such as Thorsten Kaye as Ridge - some people love him some don't).
