Annika, who hails from Boston, says she was elated when she got a callback after auditioning for the role of Jennifer on the hit CBS soap. Yet, she had no idea that she was actually auditioning for the role of Brooke’s younger daughter. She also knows that she’s got some really big shoes to fill in, especially since she’ll be following in the footsteps of former The Bold and the Beautiful actress Kim Matula, who last played Hope back in 2016.

Annika recently told CBS Soaps In Depth, “I want to do service to the story and the fans. I know that some people are going to be very loyal to Kim Matula, of course, but I also think this character is so important that it’s exciting she’s coming back regardless, and I’m just happy that I’m the one who gets to fill those shoes, or rather, those high heels!”

Thankfully, Annika already has a few loyal fans in her corner: her parents and her family! She said that she surprised her parents by wearing a The Bold and the Beautiful t-shirt and baseball cap during their Thanksgiving dinner. It took them a second to register what was going on even though their daughter was now sporting blonde hair. She said, “They said, ‘Wait, why is your hair blonde?’ They you could see it click and they had an amazing reaction. They’re very happy to see all my hard work paying off, because I’ve been working at this for a while. Plus, my mom watches soaps, so she’s excited!”
