As the daughter of Brooke ad Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan), Hope is a prominent character in The Bold and the Beautiful. Hope’s life has been filled with drama from when she was born. For the past two decades, viewers have watched Hope grow from a little girl to an adult.

When Hope reached adulthood, the show cast Kim Matula, who made her debut in January 2012. Matula wowed audiences as the good girl who feuds with her vixen stepsister Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).

After four years, Matula exited the show in December 2014 but made several guest appearances in 2015 and 2016.

When Matula wasn’t available for a full-time return, Noelle was cast as the new Hope. Noelle had big shoes to fill when she debuted in 2018, but she quickly won the fans’ approval. Noelle is now in her fifth year with the show and remains one of their leading ladies.
