Kim Matula Set For A Return To The Bold and the Beautiful!

Courtesy/IMDB

Courtesy/IMDB

Missing Hope Logan?  Well, Kim Matula (Hope) who left The Bold and the Beautiful late last year, and who last aired on the CBS Daytime drama on December 12th, is making a brief return to the series for an upcoming episode set to tape this week on Wednesday, March 4th, according to Soap Opera Digest.

When viewers last saw Hope, she had a heartfelt goodbye with Liam (Scott Clifton) before she headed to Europe to clear her head after losing her and Wyatt’s  (Darin Brooks) child in a terrible fall.  Viewers literally saw the emotional scene where Hope sort of dissolved into the frame of the video and vanished after coming to understanding with Liam about their relationship.

These days, Liam’s plate is full with his new girlfriend Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) and the return of his former flame Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood)!  Will Hope walk in on all of his? What brings Hope home to Los Angeles? Is it to help her mother Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) cope with her battle with the bottle?

Share your thoughts on the news of Kim filming again at B&B?  Do you hope that eventually she will return full-time?  What do you think brings her back on the scene? Let us know!

Agreed!
I haven’t missed Hope in the least! Thankfully it’s just for a short time…1-2 episodes…so thatt’s fine, but she can then disappear like most of Brooke’s children.
Just keep her away from Liam. He’s not been sappy since Hope’s been gone. Liking him much better!

I don’t want more of Hope and the love triangle. I thought Wyatt was a great match for her because he never faltered from loving her. Her constant longing for Liam while she married him really turned me off to her character. Wyatt deserves better. I am sure she will hand him divorce papers and help her crazy mom and go back somewhere. Now if we can get Brooke’s crazy son, Rick, to go with her!

hope and liam belong together. they had there ups and downs but so do most couples. i hope returns to soap land because we need some romance back to daytime.

Phoebe
Guest

I disagree totally!! Hope is the main character, without her the shows way less interesting. Her and Liam are the dream couple and the writers need to stop messing around and let them be together fir once in a blue moon. All this ivy and steffy stuff is just stupid. Bring Bach hope and bring back Lope! Although three girls fighting for Liam would be an exciting and new twist to the useful a triangle……..

I think she will only stay long enough to give Wyatt divorce papers and help her mother, then she will leave again. I kind of hope she does leave again because although Liam is with Ivy now I would like to see him back with Steffy.

Guest

ivy is kind of too weak to be with liam . she needs to be more aggresive and she is just kind of wishy washy. maybe her character will change later.

Pepper
Guest
Pepper

Why do you think Ivy is wishy washy? She’s one of the few people that has told Rick and Maya off. Even told Maya to rub her feet. She was sticking up for Ally who is quite wishy washy….. I think Liam and Ivy are cute together. I have liked Liam’s character alot more since he’s seemingly moved on and not manipulated by crazy women that don’t know what they want. Ivy truly loves him. Let Brooke become sober, strong and run Forrester Creations…..forget about a man in her life. It degrades her character. Let’s see more of Carter!!!!!!!

I hope Kim will come back to the show fulltime, coz she’s such a fantastic actress. She has great potential and there’s no one who can play a better Hope than Kim. I hope ‘Hope’ will be back to help her mom 🙂

I’m thrilled that she’s back – even for a short visit. I wish it was more permanent. I think either she’s back to support Brooke or Rick or maybe KM is back to support real best friend Linsey G.

Just so glad and again – wish it was permanent – miss her so much on the show.

I agree with you jaybird Let her come long enough to find some sort of positive closure witn Wyatt, baby-sit Brooke before she turns into a full fledged drunk, and then send her on her way. I am quickly becoming a Liam and Ivy fan, and if they turn Hope’s return into atriangle, I will throw my remote through my TV set. A d when she leaves she can take big brother Rick and his girlfriend Maya with her. I cannot beleive they are quicklh turning Ally into a lap dog.

She (KA) apparently denied that rumor anyway—but of course, that wouldn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t true.

The character of Hope needs to in story full time, played by Kim or someone else.

Brett
Guest

Why do we need her? I can’t understand how anyone could like her, she was the complete focus of the show and it was the most boring, long, drawn out storyline ever. I don’t think they should ever bring her back or recast the role, the show is far better without her.

jaybird369

jaybird369

Brett…A-M-E-N!!!!! I feel the same way. For almost 5 L-O-N-G years, that Kim Matula chick (and her totally ho-hum B&B character Hope) made me want to watch B&B less and less. And…more and more, Hope’s stupidly sugary behavior and personality made me wanna R-U-N to my dentist’s office for an emergency dental appointment…L-O-L!!!!! So, now…for the first time in quite a while, I feel like I can fully watch and fully enjoy B&B without that self-righteous and annoying Hope whiningly dominating my TV screen. Brett, most of all, that it so true…I (also) think that B&B should N-O-T recast the… Read more »

Oh NO!!!! First Brooke is back now Hope and this Maya business. Looks like I may be tuning out for awhile. Only reason to stick around now is for Bill & Katie and Ridge and Caroline especially Ridge (and Caroline too of course) Sorry but I like men that look like men. The rest of the cast has gone nuts. What is up with Eric? It is just too much how he puts up with Rick.

If she’s not coming back to stay then what’s the point?i would like her to come back but it only gets harder to recast if she shows up now & then. Either come back even on a limited basis or give the fans time to get used to a recast.

They ruined Steffy this time around. Its beyond lame that these women hold torches for that idiot Liam.

I agree with you R8b The minute I heard she was coming back I immediately j6mped ahead to a Liam Hope Ivy triangle, and there is no way that I will sit through that anytime soon I qas enjoying things quite nicely without her. The rest of the incredibly talented cast was finally able to start working again

I like Kim and Hope, but if she’s only coming for one episode, I would prefer she and the character not return. Recast if Kim isn’t willing to commit to a contract.

I have enjoyed the show now her character isn’t the only focus of the show- glad to see Brad force to write for someone else other than Hope. But the character is a legacy character and a soap’s future depends on retaining their legacy characters, so I’m glad Hope is still an option. If she plans to return full time some day then quick visits now and then keeps the character in viewer’s mind, but if they are going to recast at some point, it is better if she stays away— it just confuses the issue when the recast is… Read more »

Kim is always welcomed back in my book, but she has the talent to do so much more than what the B&B is offering. I hoping she books a primetime series this year. I would love to see her playing a witch or a vampire.

The only reason I have stayed with the show after she left because they said she may be back so I have waited to see, I am thrilled to have her back I just hope she stays, if she does I will keep watching, OTHERWISE? She don’t have to be with Liam opr Wyatt, just let her do HOPE FOR THE FUTURE and let a new man come along just for her.
PLEASE.

its great to see Hope back even if its just for one episode because they really did kind of rush hope off screen and whilst Hope and Liam may have had some kind of closure on things I think I want to see hope and Wyatt confront each other and to officially end there marriage on a good note if that’s even possible, there needs to be forgiveness on both sides. I also would like her to give a lesson in morality to her brother Rick and I want hope to give a lesson to Brooke on being alone and… Read more »

Absolutely love the idea to have Kim Matula back as Hope Logan in any way. According what we have now, Steffy took her plane back to Paris and Liam’s not dealing with LIVYvsLEFFY problem. From the other hand Hope’s dad just got engaged to Quinn, so Hope’s return might have something to do with it too. Add Brooke’s drinking problem (per spoilers Brooke gets injured when she falls down). Spoilers don’t say a thing about Hope and Wyatt’s marriage. It won’t be the first time for Wyatt to think he lost Hope…and the opposite to happen. About Steffy- we didn’t… Read more »

I will be brief and to the point with all the KM aka Hope haters out there. At the end of the day the main reason why Bell convinced Kimberly Matula to comeback is because a recast will not be acceptable in his eyes. In other words, in Bell “eyes” Kimberly Matula is “Hope Logan”. PS. Go back and watch that defining moment Bell had for Lope. It doesn’t matter if your are a Lope, Hottmess ,Slime or Livy fan, the message Bell sent to the audience was crystal clear folks that Liam & Hope are soul-mates and will never… Read more »

B&B had become the ‘Hope Logan Show’, and while I like the character, it was all Hope for far too long. It’s been nice to have other characters front and center. I hope her stay is short-lived.
On another note, what is it with the Bell soaps and their continued morbid desire to kill unborn children?!? It was Steffy and Hope on B&B, and now Christine on Y&R?!? Why make characters pregnant if there’s no chance of it going full term. It’s absolutely ridiculous in my opinion.

Ivy is a breath of fresh air compared to whiney Hope who could not make up her mind and Steffy the tiger who goes after what she wants no matter who she hurts. Kim Matula wanted a career in Hollywood and obviously that did not work out thus she comes back to B&B…….. she made a dumb decision which obviously she now regrets……………Let well enough alone and let Liam have some peace with someone with a heart and a sweet one at that. Liam is a fool if he takes her back after the way she pitted him against Wyatt… Read more »

‘The View’s’ Whoopi Goldberg Tells Audience to Stop ‘Booing’ Republican Senator Tim Scott

During a bizarre couple of segments of Monday’s episode of The View, Republican presidential candidate, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, was the special guest.

The conversation between the conservative politician and The View co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro took some uncomfortable and tense turns.

At one point, Goldberg posed the question to Scott, as to why the Republican Party was trying to “stop the progression that people are making.” Scott started answering and said that his political party was doing a “fabulous job at making progress” with social issues. Hostin  asked him to elaborate on that point.  It was then, that the senator turned his back to Goldberg, which promoted Whoopi to interject “That was me talking to you …. shall I come next to her?”

Goldberg then stood next to Hostin as Scott continued to face away from the other co-hosts and address the two.  After proving her point, Whoopi went back to her seat a The View table.

Courtesy/ABC

Then, production signaled Goldberg to toss to break, but Scott was continue to speak.  So instead of interrupting him, someone else from the production staff walked on camera and told Scott they were going to break.

However, when the show returned, and Ana Navarro asked her question, if the senator thought the ‘Republican Party had gone too far’ in introducing legislature against the LGBTQ+ community, including Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, plus Floria governor and Republican presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis’ feud with Disney, Scott’s response drew ire from some in the live audience with many booing the guest.

Next, Goldberg shut down the ‘boos” scolding the audience with: “Not here. I’m sorry sir. Do not ‘boo’. This is The View. We accept … we don’t have to believe everything people say, but you cannot “boo” people here, please. You cannot do it.”

Walt Willey Brings All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery to General Hospital

Look for another legal eagle character from a former ABC soap opera to pop up on General Hospital!

News today out of Soap Opera Digest has that none other than Walt Willey set to reprise his role as All My Children’s Jackson Montgomery on upcoming episodes of GH in July.

Willey played Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) love interest and the Pine Valley lawyer from 1987 through to till ABC’s cancellation of the series back in 2011.  The actor previously crossed-over to another soap opera in 1996, when he played Jack on ABC’s The City.

Photo: ABC

Taking to his Facebook account, Walt confirmed the news on his appearances on GH: “Hey Folks… Been sitting on this one for a while but now I’ve been given the clearance to announce that “Jackson Montgomery” is visiting Port Charles! I’ll be doing a few episodes of General Hospital, due to air mid July. So excited to reprise my character and see and work with old friends! I’ll keep you posted on any details. “Jackson” in Port Charles…who would have thought it? Let me, and ABC, know what you think about it!”

Could Jack’s sudden arrival in Port Charles have to do with the SEC and the trouble that Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) find themselves in?   Will AMC fans get to see Cameron Mathison and Willey share scenes together again?  Mathison played Ryan Lavery on the beloved former soap opera … or might Jack go up against Martin Grey in a GH legal battle, so Michael E. Knight and Willey could share scenes together again since their AMC days?

So, excited to see Walt on General Hospital? What do you think brings Jack to Port Charles? Weigh-in below and stay tuned.
