Glory be! Best news I’ve heard regarding B&B in a long time. No offense to the actress, but the bloody character of Hope Logan has played a large part in what I feel has become the destruction of B&B. The non-stop focus on Hope and Brooke (KKL) has just been too much these past few years. They lost me as a viewer because of it.

I wonder if they will recast the role? If they do, I suggest Julie Marie Berman.

I knew being with Wyatt would end up pushing her off the deep end. She should be with Liam. I will probably quit watching if she leaves. It just isn’t the same Liam with someone else.

I love Kim Matula, Please dont leave I am devasted, what a shocker. If thats her decision, then I support kim. Maybe she will get her own series, she is a wonderful actress. I will miss Kim on The Bold and The Beautiful.

I just started watching again…so there is no HOPE she’ll change her mind?

I know she’s a little older, but I’d love to see someone like Julie Marie Berman take over this role.

Truly shocked by this exit; I really didn’t see Kim Matula leaving the show. I do wish her the best in her new ventures. I’m sure they’ll recast the role; Hope is pivotal to B&B at this point.

Well there goes another B&B actor. While Hope hasn’t been my fav on the show. when she is with Wyatt I like her better. Can’t stand “Lope” that should’ve ended long ago. But my point is . When is Mr. Bell going to realize he is losing all his good actors? I can remember back when his mom&dad was running the shows and they kept ALL the actors. Then BBell gets his hands on the businesses and it all falls apart. Can’t keep the good actors. This should tell him something. WAKE UP OPEN YOU’R EYES. I don’t see these… Read more »

Best news all day!!! Now let’s get Jacki Mac back!

Music to my ears this is the best news ever, going to do the happy dance now, no lost there…Hahahaha

Kim I wish u all the luck in the world sweetie. I loved watching u n I believe u will do good out there. Just keep in touch with all of us fans.

Sad to see her go as I liked the actress but I’m glad that Hope will be off the show for a bit. I’m sick and tired of the Hope Liam thing and I’m glad it will finally be put to rest. I was about to stop watching but now I’ll wait and see what’s in store.

The story line of those kids are getting truly boring! ! I never liked her as an actress !!

But I don’t understand how there is no plans to recast Hope when she was on all the time? How are they going to do this? Wish Kim Matula the best as she moves on though. The show really will be terrible now.

The b&b will not be the same without a hope Logan they have to replace her with someone. And they need to put her and Liam together forever……

It will be very empty without Hope.
Why are they all leaving?
Is Brooke coming back? Or has Kelly left too?

Please, do not kill B&B!
I LOVE the show!
And I hate to see my favourites go!

I think that I will stop watching. If she leaves and Wyatt and Quinn stay, it is a sure thing that I say goodbye after 20 plus years of watching. All the good guys are gone!! Best wishes to B & B.

Hate to see”Hope”going from the show. Wishing her good luck.

I wonder if this had anything to do with her sex scene popping up all over the web yesterday? I also wonder if this will inspire JMW to come back (fingers crossed!).

4ever DAYS…y-e-s!!!!!

A request of my own: A-L-L- 3 of the remaining soaps (DOOL, GH and Y&R) should N-O-T hire Kim Matula PERIOD!!!!!

I’m just saying……

Noooooooooo!!! She is the only reason I still watch this soap. Ivy seems sweet and all but she is No Hope. Team Liam and Hope forever!!! This makes me so sad!!

THANK GOD!!!! Maybe with her new “film” getting so much praise….maybe she has found her true calling—ugh..and good riddance her her being “robbed”—if she was smart she’d never come back until they make that Character likeable instead of annoying!

I guess Kim got tired of the story line too huh!!?? I really hate she is leaving the show. I know its a soap but I do hope she is not killed off. That would be too much!!

Wow did not see this coming. Shame I liked Hope but hate the way her story line is gong. Don’t like Whyatt at all wish he would leave. Quinn can stay cause she is funny.

No offense to the actress but am not sad about not seeing hope because I gave up watching because I was sick of hope.. Good luck to matula thou, wish her all the best

Nooooooooo……

When Wyatt called her a TRAMP & A B!$&H I KNEW THEN…

would like to see character recast ….why would you end Hope? that is ridiculous..unless she is dying. why would you producers not put Liam and Hope back together for the love of God and put an end to this back and forth!! terrible soap opera saga!! I have been watching for years and I am about to give up on you people. I think could do better producing sometimes. Good luck Kim!!

I hate that another B&B actor is leaving. I happen to like her – remember she is acting a script that is written for her! And besides, her and Liam should always be together

I hope her exit isn’t a disturbing one..because she is with child..

Kim is the main reason I watch the show 🙁

I just started watching the show just over a month ago….It needs to be an hour long and better Actors…How is Hope leaving and will her tv hubby go with her?

Wishing Kim the best! She is probably tired of the same story lines repeating over and over and over again! She’s moving on to bigger and better things! Hopefully B&B will figure it out and start writing some fresh new lines for their wonder actors before they all start leaving.

This totally sucks that means her and Liam will never get back together. Guess its a good time to stop watching

Well that must be the reason they brought Ivy on for Liam. Hope was ruined by Wyatt and Quinn characters. Hopefully these characters will have no reason to be on the show, and send Wyatt and Quinn off with Hope. The show has gone down hill.

so sad just when she is having a baby & i think Liam is the father so we will ever know now she is leaving i wish her luck will miss her

Maybe Hope will exit by going to Italy to live with, raise her child with along with work for her mother at a Forester Creations there. Then maybe Hope will come back to B&B when her child is a adult. They make children grow up extremely fast on soaps. And last but not least ; I don’t want to see Quinn kill Hope off. .Hope Quinn will flip out & self destruct leaving Wyatt to be his father Bill’s president at Spencer Publications & Liam will move over seas somewhere to work for a Spencer Publications there or another big… Read more »

I am really sad she has decided to leave but wish her great success she is an amazing actress I’m sure whatever she sets her sites on she will do well.
Will miss seeing her on the show.

Heard she just put out she is not leaving that she just signed a new contract.

Wow……. will miss her. . GOOD Luck … GOD BLESS. ..

I will miss Kimberly (Hope) on the show. I am hoping with all those leaving that The Bold and the Beautiful will still remain #1 in soaps! I am kind of worried as this is a soap opera that is only 1/2 hour long and they will loose their rating. 🙁

I loved her!! I wish she wasn’t leaving! Just let hope and Liam be together and LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!

I am sad that she is leaving. She is an amazing actress. May God bless her in whatever she is going to do.

Why is we loose all our soap opera stars that are so good and are part of a good story line. They are a big part of our family lives to. She is such a good actress we will miss her terribly.

I loved you on B & B. You are going to be missed. The show won’t be the same without your pretty face.

I don’t want her to leave the show. she is great and I love her on the show.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to see her go but if she leaving they should kill her off have Quinn do the deed what a twist that would be

hope dont leave u r irreplaceable.just started watching it again. consider your fans we love you.

Losing Kim is a big loss for the show. She is really great in her role. She belongs with Liam…not Wyatt. Oh well…the best to Kim in her new ventures.
