The Bold and the Beautiful's three younger leading ladies are all involved in some emotionally heavy storylines at the moment, and Annika Noelle is proud of the women she's working with.
The Bold and the Beautiful Sisterhood
However, soap fan wars persist, with fans dividing into factions to support their favorite character. It often seems like a competition, so Noelle used her Instagram stories to dispel any rumors that she is competing with anyone in real life.
"I don't usually acknowledge the noise but I am so tired of this narrative," Noelle wrote on a photo collage. "I am not in competition with anyone. It's a win for everyone when my sisters shine.
"Stop pitting women against each other," Noelle continued. "Let's give each other flowers, no need for whataboutisms or creating false narratives. People are so hungry to see women tear each other down instead of championing each other."
Annika Noelle heaps praise
Noelle went on to address two particular co-stars who have shared intense scenes for the past week as a deranged Luna locked a terrified and determined Steffy in a cage. Steffy now knows Luna is the one who killed Tom and Hollis, so Luna can't allow her to live.
While Steffy and Luna battle it out in Luna's old apartment that's set to be demolished, Noelle's Hope has barely been seen all week. After kissing Finn and being summarily rejected, Hope's been out of the picture as Finn worries for his wife. He's completely unaware that his cousin has Steffy locked in a cage.
Noelle praised longtime co-star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood while acknowledging their friendship.
"@jacquelinemwood_1 is a friend," Noelle wrote. "Plus, she is one of the most talented, kind, and professional ladies out there."
Noelle gave Lisa Yamada props for her performance as Luna. Yamada has been blowing fans away since Luna morphed from an innocent Forrester Creations intern into a psychotic serial killer.
"Meanwhile, @lisayamada is knocking it out of the park in this storyline," Noelle said. "I've had the pleasure of watching her slay every red carpet, lewk [Note: this is slang for "look"], and scene. She is a rising star and there is enough love to go around. We are not our characters. So please, stop. This is sisterhood."
X (formerly Twitter) user @JadeJadebomber tweeted a screenshot of the Instagram story, which you can see below.
While their characters might not get along very well on-screen, it's clear to see the love Noelle, MacInnes Wood, and Yamada have for one another when the cameras stop rolling.
