I drifted away after 2 seasons. Just lost interest in the characters repeating the same lines and making the same silly decisions. But, having said that, I know what it’s like when you’re hooked on a series so a hearty congratulations to the actors and three cheers for all the fans.

I love the show. Oh good I get to see Justin Hartley for three more years.I hope he does some more comedies. Loved him in Bad Mom’s Christmas, he is one heck of a sexy and talented man.There have been times when the show has made me cry. I love Kevin.Who wouldn’t?I can feel his pain.Yes there are even times when he has made me cry. I can also relate to the depression story.It can be bad at times.Love Chrissy Metz too.

Story story story. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us care. And do not stay to long at the fair! Hopefully NBC/writers are writing with an ending in mind…it will be more of an impact knowing there is a road map. Beginning, middle,and an end. Keep us wanting more and loving the show as it ends the 6th season.

B&B’s Annika Noelle Shares Her Heartache on Pregnancy Loss

October 13, 2021

In a very well-written and touching essay written by The Bold and the Beautiful’s Annika Noelle (Hope), herself, the actress shares with the readers details of two miscarriages that she had not publicly revealed until this time.

In her story for Glamour entitled, “Losing a Child in the Limelight”, Noelle shares the heartache and pain of losing a child while filming the demands of a soap opera, and especially Hope’s storyline which for months featured so much emotion and so many tears after the baby loss storyline on-air she was the vehicle in which to tell the tale.

However in real life, Noelle was going through something as well. Annika reveals how she and her fiancé found out she was pregnant, and then 10 weeks later she lost the baby. When they tried again, she lost the baby at 8 weeks.

In an excerpt, Annika expressed about keeping her pain private while working on the soap: “Fans and news articles speculated whether I was pregnant or just gained weight during quarantine. And once again the storyline called for ceaseless tears when I felt like I had no more to give. I guess looking back at it now, I was scared to jinx anything. I didn’t want people to know and have things not work out. And yet I wish I had because I would have given anything to have the understanding and support of the cast and crew. I felt so alone. The secret was isolating, yet the shame was debilitating. I felt like I had failed at something that should be easy. But as time marched on, I was surprised by a new feeling bubbling underneath the sorrow: an ancestral rage toward the burden of womanhood. And as I slowly began to open up about my loss to a select few, I was shocked by how many people had experienced it as well.”

In the end, Annika shares: “Anyone who follows me on social media can tell you I’m a deeply private person. But if there is one thing I’ve gained from my loss, it is a voice I’m no longer afraid to use.”
