Why The Bold And The Beautiful's Annika Noelle Wanted To Speak Out About Her Heartbreaking Miscarria

At the time of filming the baby Beth storyline, Annika Noelle had not personally experienced what her character was going through, but she was determined to play the part with grace and honesty. In an essay she wrote for Glamour, the actress said, "I was grateful for the artistic challenge and threw myself into the story with everything I had, researching placental abruption, stillbirth, and pregnancy loss. I knew people in my own life who had gone through the trauma of losing a child, and I wanted to do them justice."

Sadly for Noelle, she was unaware that this storyline would soon become intensely personal for her when she experienced her own loss, in what she called "cruel irony." Fortunately for her character, Hope's pain abated nearly a year after giving birth when she learned that her daughter had lived and was being raised by Steffy Forrester, who had unknowingly adopted her. Hope and Liam were immensely relieved and grateful to have their child back; unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for the actress' own tragedy.

After filming the heartbreaking storyline of losing baby Beth, Annika Noelle and her fiance were overjoyed to discover they were pregnant with their first child. Devastatingly, Noelle lost that baby at ten weeks. Her doctors informed her that the likelihood it would happen again was low, making it all the more heartbreaking when she lost her second pregnancy, as well.
