Johannesburg - Bold And Beautiful fans rejoice! Kim Matula, who recently left our screens as the virtuous, love-struck Hope Logan on the popular soapie, is making her small-screen comeback.
But it won’t be on B&B. Instead, the sexy blonde has just snagged a lead role on the upcoming second season of Lifetime drama series UnREAL.
While on Bold, Kim played a character who was sexually inexperienced and a definite goody-two-shoes, her UnREAL character is world’s apart – she’ll play Tiffany, a hot, smart and rich all-American girl who’s the daughter of a professional football team owner and one of the "bachelorettes" vying for the heart of the show’s new bachelor.
It’s a good move for Kim – UnREAL was a ratings hit when it started in 2015 and a number of TV critics regard it as one of the best new series of last year.
Joining Kim will be Meagan Tandy of sci-fi series Teen Wolf fame. Meagan will play Chantal, who’s a Southern debutante and a young widow.
UnREAL season 2, which starts filming soon, will continue to centre around a fictional reality TV dating show and the drama that happens behind the scenes.
