Kim Matula

It’s Valentine’s Week on CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” and things are turning red,…

On Wednesday, November 5, CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” shocked the daytime world when it announced that Kim Matula would be departing the drama series after nearly five years portraying Hope Logan, but don’t fret, Hope will continue being part of the canvas, says head writer and executive producer, Bradley P. Bell.

CBS Daytime is celebrating Thanksgiving early with a buffet of holiday-themed episodes of all of its daytime shows, including “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” which will air on Wednesday, November 26.

In the midst of “The Bold and the Beautiful” gearing up for an exciting storyline in Amsterdam, which will begin airing Friday, November 7, the show’s stars Scott Clifton (Liam), Kim Matula (Hope), Ashleigh Brewer (Ivy) and Darin Brooks (Wyatt) dropped by CBS’ “The Talk” to discuss the twists and turns ahead. But don’t fret if you missed the actors’ appearance yesterday: A clip of their visit to the popular talk show has just been released!

Shortly after Kim Matula shocked the soap world with the news that she has chosen not to renew her contract as “The Bold and the Beautiful’s” Hope Logan and that she has already taped her final scenes, her longtime co-star Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer) took to social media and publicly declared his thoughts on the turn of events.

As previously reported, actress Kim Matula has opted to exit CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” after portraying the contract role of Hope Logan on the daytime drama series for the last five years. In a posting on her Instagram page, Matula confirms her exit and shares what led to her decision to leave the world’s most watched soap!

In one of the rarest of circumstances, CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” announced on Twitter earlier this evening that actress Kim Matula (Hope Logan) will soon be departing the daytime drama series, just hours after Matula appeared live alongside co-stars Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer), Darin Brooks (Wyatt Fuller) and Ashleigh Brewer (Ivy Forrester) on the network’s daytime talk show, “The Talk.” Under normal circumstances the talent, or their representatives, would reveal departure news to the press or social media before the show was able to confirm casting updates.

Today is a must-tune-in day for CBS Daytime, as the network is pulling out all the stops for soap fans!

This month on CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” fans will get to see the beautiful city of Amsterdam when Hope (Kim Matula), Liam (Scott Clifton), Wyatt (Darin Brooks) and Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) travel abroad to mix business with pleasure, but an on location shoot isn’t the only thing to look forward to on the daytime drama series.

Cast members from “The Bold and the Beautiful” will appear on “The Talk” on Friday, November 7 to help promote upcoming episodes filmed in Amsterdam.
