While soap stars have their own fans, they are fans of others as well and The Bold and the Beautiful’s Annika Noelle (Hope) recently had the ultimate fan experience. The CBS soap star posted various photos and videos from a night she’ll likely remember for a very long time…

“It was such an honor to have been able to attend the FYC Emmys/Television Academy event for RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Noelle stated. “The night was full of joy, celebration and solidarity.”

The actress went on talk about how she’s been watching the reality competition series since Season One debuted on February 2, 2009 and shared, “During times when the world has felt uncertain, this show has been a light. The queens’ creativity, vulnerability and resilience continue to be an inspiration to me. Whenever I may find my voice shaky or experience self-doubt, I look to them for bravery in being my authentic self.”

Noelle thanked RuPaul for “continuing to bring this gift to countless people across the globe” and thought maybe one day she could be a guest judge for a soap opera challenge. “A girl can dream, right?” And through all of the fun, she sent a “big, special shout out” to actress and comedian Leslie Jones for “being the greatest host ever” — one that had the crowd “rolling with laughter.”

And though General Hospital’s Jacqueline Grace Lopez (Blaze) couldn’t attend the event, she jumped into the comments to say how “obsessed” she is with the show, to which Noelle replied, “Right?! I wish you could have been there.”
