Thomas is not going to leave Hope alone...
ReplyDeleteHe left to goes paris and Hope will follow him ?.
DeleteI can see Steffy point
ReplyDeleteIf Hope can't commit then stop wasting Thomas time
Split them They always say Let go and if its meant to be it comes back
Brooke needs to take a seat
Thank you Bob xxxx
I can see where Steffy is coming from as well. However, she needs to give Thomas some space to think about things and make his own decision instead of trying to force a decision down his throat.
DeleteBrooke will always support Hope even if Hope is wrong. She should be more objective and let Hope see things from a different perspective.
Elle, when Thomas asked Brooke if Hope really loves him or is he just fooling himself, she wouldn’t answer him, and he asked twice, and all she could say to him was sorry, that where Hope is concerned, she doesn’t know what to tell him!! Well, she could have told him and reassured him, but chose not to?? Why?? I’ve heard others say she is in a difficult position, but yet she is jumping up and down about Steffy trying to get Thomas to leave Hope, and says how dare she, but yet she wouldn’t be honest with him, and reassure him by telling him what Hope said, it would not have hurt to say, yes Hope does you Thomas.. So if she can’t be honest with him, then she can’t be upset that Steffy is trying to break them up!! She says to Hope, she is trying to be supportive, well that would have been a good start!!
DeleteOop’s*yes Hope does (love) you,
DeleteColly, we all know that Brooke does not support her daughter being with Thomas so she will never admit to him that Hope truly loves him. She prefers to watch him second guess himself until he decides to give up on Hope. She would rather sacrifice her own daughter's happiness for her own. Nothing new with Brooke.
DeleteElle, you can not put this on Brooke. Hope turned down the proposal. I don’t recall Brooke being around either time Hope turned Thomas down. And I don’t think Brooke is considering only herself,, I think Brooke genuinely believes in her heart that Thomas is not the right person for Hope. And she is simply being a mother. But she is also allowing her grown daughter to make up her own mind. The only one not letting the other make up their own mind is Steffy to Thomas. That was some hardcore manipulation on Steffy’s part.
DeleteI wasn't putting anything on Brooke, Lynn. Not blaming her in the least. Just making an observation.
DeleteOn Tuesday’s episode Brooke was far more accepting of the Thope relationship than Steffy. Steffy has waaaay overstepped.
DeleteAgree on Steffy. Regarding Brooke, I don't think she was accepting of the relationship, she was just happy that her daughter was happy. If she was accepting of the relationship, I strongly believe she would have told Thomas that Hope does indeed love him. She's used to getting tangled up in Hope's relationship woes, why stop now? 😂 😂
DeleteLol. True. As I’ve said before…..Brooke isn’t shy. And that’s one of the things I like about her. However, generally speaking, I don’t think Brooke is mean spirited, and that’s another thing I like about her. She saw that her prodding of Hope to end things with Thomas wasn’t getting her anywhere. So she “accepted” the relationship reluctantly. Hope is a grown woman and Brooke has to let her make her own decisions. I think acceptance and throwing an engagement party for the two of them are two entirely different things….like Milla pointed out on a previous comment, Brooke is doing the best she can. And not fighting it is the best she can muster up. And that’s completely understandable.
DeleteI think this could be leading up to Thomas leaving for a while , then maybe Steffy and Finn have issues over Sheila’s death, he turns to Hope and then Steffy turns to Liam.. I say this because Steffy told Thomas to leave and go to Paris for a while, that usually happens when the actor goes on a break.. then if what I just said happens then the writers will throw them all in the washing machine and press spin cycle, and around they all go!! And the same ole rinse , repeat cycle SL’s..
ReplyDeleteI really hope they don’t go that way, because nothing else is worth watching for me!! The show will lose a ton of ratings because no one is interested Luna, Poppy, RJ and Zende!! And glad I got in early this morning, I can hear the Lfans going off on Steffy from way over on my island!!! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 I can't hear them yet over here but it's coming. I hope they don't go with the Finn and Hope, Liam and Steffy SL. The washing machine was a good metaphor. It makes sense Thomas taking a break. He just got married.
DeleteI agree on your predictions Colly. And actually, it's been the Steffy fans who have been most critical of her in this sl. I really like how she talked to Thomas because that's how I would if my brother was in this situation. Yes she dislikes Hope but I think she would be this invested if it was any other woman that Thomas experiences this over.
DeleteAgree Milla. I fore one have said Steffy is going a little overboard with the "you have to leave Hope". But everybody should butt out with their opinions and let Hope and Thomas deal with their problems.
DeleteI actually think Steffy is way out of line. But love where this is going. Bye, bye Thomas. Paris awaits.
DeleteMilla, it’s good that you can see that regarding Steffy and relate to it without going all out on bashing Steffy.. I do agree that her approach with Hope could have been much better, for sure, but she made many good points, and you say, the way she was with Thomas, was beautiful and what a really loving sister would do.. I am as close as two sisters can be, with my sister, and if I saw my so deviated, I would be really angry too!! And probably would have reacted the same way 🤣🤣🤣 regarding the last part of your comment, I agree, but not because of their own rivalry, I think more so because of Thomas’s past issues with his past obsession with her and how it led him to behave.. And she can see how hard Thomas has worked and put into himself to be a better person, and she doesn’t want him to backslide.. She knows there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for Hope or give her, and there are many other women who give anything to be him.. The hardest part of all this, from a viewer perspective, is that we don’t know “how long” or as Brooke said “the time line” in soap land since Hopes divorce to Liam, so the question is, is Thomas expecting to much too soon, or has been quite a while?? We don’t know?? D, I agree love, Steffy should butt out, and just be there for him if it all goes to 💩, but, in her eyes, she feels she needs to be more protective of him due to the past history, and feels that Hope should not have gone there in the first place!! But on the other side of the coin, she did implode her marriage for Thomas.. So her feelings had started to develope before they went to Rome..
Delete*my sister so devistated* I meant and *would give anything to be (with) him, not be him omg 🤣🤣🤣 I really should check my comments before posting..
DeleteSteffy and Thomas are correct - Hope will never love Thomas like he loves her. It has always been a very lopsided relationship, and it always will be. But Hope is right in saying that Steffy has always had it out for her. Steffy belittles Hope every chance she gets. She is very nasty in her approach with Hope, and that stems from Steffy’s jealousy of Hope. Steffy is making it her mission to ensure that Hope loses.
DeleteLynn I agree Steffy can be nasty with her approach, no doubt.. And she should not be inserting herself this much.. Yes be there for your brother, but don’t tell him to uproot his son and take him from his mother and the rest of his family..
DeleteBtw for what it's worth, in soap it's never really worked telling someone to "end it with" or "leave" or (my favorite) "stay away from" someone. It usually makes them want to stick to that person even more.
DeleteExactly, it child psychology!! The more you say no, the more they want to do it!!
DeleteSteffy and Brooke look at Thomas and only see his past, which leads them to think he will revert to old behaviors. Ridge and Hope however, see all of the work that Thomas has put in and his determination to persevere in spite of his past. That said, Steffy will never see Hope as having a positive impact on Thomas' life. She will always see her as the person who can break Thomas. Steffy needs to be a little more objective and listen to her brother. He's hurting and she only wants him to hurt more. She and Brooke are 2 peas in the same pod!
DeleteI gotta say, Elle…..Steffy is acting far more against Thomas and Hope being together than Brooke. Brooke has been mostly quiet about their relationship lately. But Steffy has made it her mission to get Thomas away from Hope.
DeleteThat's true Lynn. Brooke could have used the situation and tried to convince Hope that she obviously never will be ready and that Thomas pushing is alarming. But she didn't.
DeleteLynne your comments are point on. Completely agree with them. Steffy is not hearing Thomas.
DeleteUnfortunately Thomas and Hope are not hearing each other - both basically want some monogamous commitment (Thomas ring on finger doesn’t mean short engagement; Hope ring on finger marriage what you’ve seen style within 48 hrs to 1 week max). When proposed to second time could have stated what your reservations were or better yet during the countless hours you spend together.
Discuss what moving the ring from the necklace to the finger means and a timeline to actual marriage. What does that even look like. Where to live etc. Make it so it’s not so unknown and not discussed.
Lynn, Steffy indeed is being more forceful. However, I am not discounting Brooke mainly because she has learnt her lesson from trying to strong-arm Hope where Thomas is concerned. It only served to push Hope closer to Thomas. Appearing supportive while not actively fighting against their relationship can have the same outcome as what Steffy is hoping to achieve.
DeleteBetween strong-arming (unsuccessful) and supportive (unlikely) Brooke is choosing the middle which is the best anyone can expect from her. She doesn't owe Thomas to open a Thope fan club or encourage him that Hope loves him. That's something he should expect from Hope herself. And it doesn't seem to me like Thomas was soooo hung up on her response.
DeleteThat's not what I'm saying, Milla. Of course I don't expect Brooke to open a Thope fan club. Lol! All I'm saying is that by choosing the middle ground, as you stated, she still gets the same outcome that Steffy is hoping to achieve - Thomas ending things with Hope. That way, she can blame Steffy for interfering while getting exactly what she wants.
DeleteIf Brooke truly cared about her daughter's happiness, she would have told Thomas the truth about what Hope felt for him when he asked her twice. Why did she hesitate? She knew how devastated Hope felt. Letting Thomas know how Hope was feeling might have opened the door to him going back to Hope to talk to her thereby allowing them to work through their dilemna. But Brooke did not want that to happen so she kept quiet. This is just my opinion, of course.
Elle, I agree that Brooke didn’t answer Thomas because she really didn’t want to. But ultimately, this is between Hope and Thomas. Hope told him she loved him. But he was too thrown off by the rejection of the proposal to really hear her. That should have been huge for him!! And now Steffy is in his ear.
DeleteLynn exactly what I’m saying! The question is not "if Brooke truly cared about...", it's "if Hope really wants, she should go to Thomas and repeat she loves him". It's their relationship, not Brooke's.
DeleteMilla, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
DeleteIf it were Liam, for example, not Thomas, Brooke wouldn’t have hesitated to answer those questions and more.. She would have told him to go talk to Hope and work things out.. Despite the fact that Liam has always loved and cheated with, and jumped between Hope and Steffy.. She has never had a problem interfering in Hopes love life in the past, ever!! She has always pushed Hope to Liam and vice versa, no matter how many times he ran to Steffy at the first sign of trouble, no matter how controlling of Hope and how much he treated her as a child.. I think that is part of the point Elle is trying to make!! Here is a man who treats her like gold, has her on a pedestal, gives her and does anything for her, is committed only to her, and Brooke sees how happy her daughter is, but yet, she can’t honestly answer a couple of questions?? All of a sudden, she doesn’t , for the first time ever, want to get involved!! Not even answer honestly two questions??
DeleteThanks Colly. You said it a lot better than I did!
DeleteClearly Brooke was a Liam fan and she isn’t a huge Thomas fan. This should come as a shock to absolutely no one. He did completely derail her marriage to Ridge a year or so ago, among other things. Why would she be a Thomas fan? She is doing her best to stay neutral. Honestly, the fact that some feel Brooke should be rooting for them seems pretty ridiculous to me.
DeleteBrooke is neutral and I applaud her for that!
Thank you Lynn. Brooke will always be blamed just for the sport of it. Nobody in her place would be a huge fan of Thomas considering what he put Brooke through. If Thomas needs her answers and not Hope's there is something wrong. Hope tells him she loves him and he needs to hear it from Brooke? Come on. Maybe he knows deep down that what Hope calls love is nowhere near what he calls love and while she's the one for him, he'll never be the one for her.
DeleteThat’s exactly the way I see it, Milla. I do not think this threat of Thomas leaving is going to result in Hope having some epiphany that she should fall into his arms and never let him go. I think the conversation with Ridge made her take pause, and she will realize that she can never really return the love Thomas feels for her.
DeleteIt really always was a selfish love. She loves him for the way he loves her. And that is not what true love is.
If by rooting for Hope and Thomas you mean Brooke being supportive of her daughter's happiness, then yes, she should be!
DeleteThis is why I find Brooke to be selfish at times. It's always about what she wants. Even with Liam. She knew Liam was not fully committed to Hope yet, he was her choice for her daughter so no matter what he did, there was Brooke pushing Hope to forgive him.
What would it have cost Brooke to reassure Thomas that Hope does love him when he asked her twice? She had just left her daughter brokenhearted. Letting Thomas know how Hope felt about him could have resulted in him going to talk to her.
And if this is about the CPS saga, then Brooke is not just selfish, but petty for still holding onto that, especially since Thomas apologized to her and she accepted his apology and admitted that he has made changes within himself. Also, since she and Ridge are reunited. Why should what Thomas did to her impact the support of her daughter's happiness if she is sincere about accepting his apology and her claim that he has changed? Concern about Thomas' past is one thing but holding on to an ill that was done to her is completely different.
Elle, I don’t understand how you think everything gets magically wiped away with a simple apology. People who get seriously hurt by others ‘choose’ to forgive because it’s healthier for the victim to not hold onto the resentment, not because everything between them is expected to be peachy between them going forward. That’s nothing more than a fantasy of the person who inflicted the harm.
DeleteBy your standard, all of the marriages Brooke destroyed should be wiped clean, and the women Brooke hurt should now “root for her” because she simply apologized! Sorry, that ain’t never gonna happen.
And of course Brooke cares about Hope’s happiness and that’s why she stopped fighting it and is letting Hope make up her own mind.
And there is absolutely no need for Brooke to tell Thomas that Hope loves him because Hope has told Thomas herself multiple times. And he may have actually heard Hope if Steffy hadn’t been in his ear nonstop like some lunatic.
Let’s talk about the giant elephant in the room - STEFFY - and take the focus off Brooke, which is nothing more than a diversion at this point.
The responsibility for Thomas leaving falls squarely on Thomas for making the decision to leave, and Steffy for being constantly in his ear tearing Hope down every opportunity she gets!
And why is it that when you speak of Brooke it’s about Brooke being selfish, but no mention of Steffy’s obvious self serving motives?? Again, Brooke is being neutral and you still disparage her. But Steffy has made it her current mission in life to break them up, but Steffy is just worried about her brother?? Come on!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteAnd honestly, I’m not sure how truly “sorry” Thomas even was when it came to the CPS call. If you recall, he didn’t fess up voluntarily, because that would have shown actual remorse. It took him blaming his son Douglas for making the call and Steffy calling him out on their parents wedding day for Thomas to come clean.
DeleteAs a result of that, the family shunned him and he was banned from working at Forrester. It was only then that Thomas apologized to Brooke which was set as a condition for his return to FC. So how sorry was he that he destroyed Brooke’s marriage to Ridge….not all that sorry I’m guessing.
Regarding Steffy, I did not say that she is concerned for her brother (I think that was Milla). While I have stated that I understand where she is coming from, I am actually against Steffy butting into Thomas and Hope's relationship and have made my feelings clear about the matter several times. I have even said that Steffy does not seem to truly believe that Thomas has changed because she keeps holding on to his past as if he is so fragile and Hope would break him because of their involement (something along those lines).
DeleteAnd, I am in no way suggesting that an apology should magically wipe everything away. What I am saying is that the CPS misfortune is so far gone in the past. 1) Thomas has apologized. 2) Brooke accepted his apology. 3) Thomas has been working on himself, which Brooke has acknowledged. 4) Ridge and Brooke are back together in spite of Thomas' past interference. Why in the world would Brooke still hold on to that one thing? Is she being spiteful toward Thomas then? Is she saying to herself that Thomas broke her and his father up so she is not going to contribute to him being happy with her daughter? As I said before, it's one thing for her not to trust Thomas' past as it relates to how he treated Hope but to make it all about her and the CPS call is a different story.
But anyway, my observations about Brooke in this Thomas/Hope saga are just that - observations. I'm not blaming her for anything. Just a bit perturbed by her actions, is all.
I guess that it would all come down to the fact that Brooke will always be wary of Thomas. Honestly, no matter how long he is behaving like the ‘good guy’….she will always be wary of him because of the many awful things Thomas has put Hope through, as well as Brooke. The CPS call was just thrown out as an example. And I agree, Steffy isn’t acting like she believes her brother has truly changed if she’s this determined to break them up. People backslide - it’s simply a fact of life. And there’s nothing to say Thomas won’t do just that.
DeleteYou know, Lynn. A part of me feels that Brooke isn't really all that concerned about Thomas' past anymore. I think it's more about her not approving of Thomas and Hope being together because he is not a man that she can manipulate (and I use this word lightly) the way she did with Liam. Liam was perfect in her eyes because she could tell him what to do where her daughter was concerned and he would do it. Liam listened to Brooke and bonded with her over their 'control' of Hope.
DeleteThomas, otoh, would tell Brooke plainly that it is none of her business what he and Hope are doing. He has done it before and so has Hope. So, I think her displeasure with their relationship is more to do with her not having any control whatsoever.
Elle, I would have to discount that theory based on Brooke’s recent actions and words. Another dialogue mentioning moment was when Brooke told Steffy that “Hope is a very strong lady and doesn’t need her mom’s help.” Not to mention the fact that she has now said she will try to be more open minded about Thomas’ progress and she won’t try to stop Hope from continuing her relationship with him. Hope is (I’m guessing) about 10 years younger than Thomas. And because Hope was so young, I’m sure Brooke spent more time guiding her in years past. But we have all seen Hope grow up before our eyes after her divorce from Liam. I think Brooke recognizes that fact and is actually proud of the woman Hope has become.
DeleteI hope so. We will see.
DeleteJeepers Steffy stop throwing stones
ReplyDeleteTY Bob. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSteffy looks like you're doin' "A OK" after stabbin' your Mommy-By-Law Sheila. It looks real good on you, as a knife wieldin' homemaker, that you get to go over to Sheila's house n' punch her out and threaten to kill her, and then finish her off the very next day, with no questions asked by the police? Boy O boy, ya don't miss a beat do ya? You've takin' down your cousin Ally with a crow bar, now ya have marriage advice for Hope? You are one slinky lil' sl*t! I guess boinkin' Liam's Dad... Dollar Bill, has you feeling' real high n' mighty, then sleeping with Liam when your current man ain't cuttin' the mustard gives you the right to control Hopes life and existence. You had your fun, now let Hope have hers. It's the least she could do, especially after 'Tommy Boy' was in on the abduction of her daughter.
ReplyDeleteOkay, hold on. Steffy is going far! She's like to a sledgehammer. A supportive person trying to provide counsel doesn't tell someone what they should do. You discuss possible options, pros and cons. You ask the person what their goal is. What outcome they would like to see. Play out each scenario. She's telling Thomas to take Douglas to Paris! Take the child away from his mother, so many relatives and friends. For Steffy to tell Thomas to take Douglas so far away, she's just trying to be mean and hurtful toward Hope. And in most places, school is still in session for another month or two. Maybe Thomas can go away for a month to figure some things out.
ReplyDeleteAnd Steffy should have enough to keep her busy. Her job, kids, and helping Finn work out his Sheila issues.
And I know Steffy is his daughter, but Ridge should be a little more upset about her still making those same old comments about Brooke. She is the woman he is supposed to be committed to. Ridge should consider saying to Steffy a more gentle version of what Will Smith told Chris Rock on Oscar night. We all remember that now famous quote. 🤬
I wouldn't mind seeing a good old fashioned Dynasty-style girl fight. Anyone else old enough to remember those Krystal vs. Alexis catfights? I know that's not healthy mature conflict resolution, but very entertaining television. 😎
Yes, I don’t think she should be telling him to uproot Douglas and tear him away from his home and mother!! That is absolutely wrong and going too far.. I understand her concern for her brother, but she is inserting herself way too much.. She needs to let them work it out, and be there for him.. And yes, I’d loooove to see a cat fight between Steffy and Hope!!
DeleteAh yes the insistence thar he takes Douglas away to Paris, if observed isolated, is not okay and it's particularly stunning that it seems Thomas will listen to that. I can't imagine that would help Hope and Thomas' relationship, we know how strongly Hope feels about Douglas (again as usual with the hope that the writers are consistent in the character behavior). But if Thomas commits it's only for x weeks, maybe she'll be okay.
DeleteWould be like good old fashioned bold and the beautiful see a cat fight. Steffy was fitting into the role of her mane sake when telling Hope she will never be with Thomas, lol.
DeleteSomewhat similar to Ridge and Brooke from Stephanie 🤷♀️
And I also believe they are setting Steffy and Hope up to be the next Gen Brooke and Taylor, that’s the way it seems.. I have given a theory already, but another one would be, Thomas takes Steffies advice, and gets on the Forrester jet to leave, and Hope comes to a sudden realisation at the last minute, that she does want to marry him, and does the usual mad dash, to get to the jet before it takes off!! That will b Fridays cliffhanger!! Or maybe not!! Also I forgot, best line of the day goes to Brooke this time, “Hopes timeline”?? 🤣🤣🤣 sorry but what a dumb thing to say!! Good one writers, was that meant to humour people, or just make Hope look even worse?? And second best line , goes to Ridge, confused look and response to that, “what does that even mean”??? 🤣🤣🤣 who writes this stuff 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
ReplyDeleteColly I think this feud was established already 10+ years ago when they first fought over Liam. Now it's even more prominent because Steffy is way more relevant than Taylor was (also because we have like 1/5 of the number of characters). Taylor was written like the obstacle for Bridge while Steffy is quite central, has tons of screen time and various storylines. They gave her a whole own man that wanted only her and not Hope. Remember that tribute to her on her birthday, sth like this was never done for Taylor.
DeleteTrue Milla!! But I am thinking that, due to that very reason, that they are much older now, and more mature, the rivalry is more noticeable as a Taylor vs Brooke thing?? But I think it’s going in a slightly different direction than Brooke and Taylor’s rivalry, in that it’s no longer about Liam, and maybe never will be again, here’s hoping!! 🤞 but it could also end up being a rivalry based around Finn now?? I hope not?? But as you mentioned, there’s a much smaller cast , competing for air time.. So anything could happen!!
DeleteI would say that they are more like Stephanie/Brooke. Stephanie was a very central character as Milla has stated Steffy is. Stephanie hated Brooke for Ridge just like Steffy hates Hope for Thomas. Stephanie always got into Ridge's business where his love life was concerned just like Steffy has been doing with Thomas. All they need to do now is bring in some sweet young thing for Thomas and watch her and Hope duke it out. 😂 😂 😂
DeleteSteffy =💩...really?!? She should go home and deal with her open problems and let Thomas and Hope figure things out on their open😡.... Thank you Bob ❤️
ReplyDeleteI so hope Thomas will not listen to his witch sister.
ReplyDeleteThomas jerk making Hope feel like crap only 2 weeks after she was honest about NOT being ready!
ReplyDeleteBTW
*** I'm calling you a jerk since no one seems to have thr same energy when it comes to finding names for Zende . LMAO 🤣🙄🙄🙄🙄
Steffi's got way too much time on her hands and apparently not enough drama in her own life. Some nerve, lady. Or it's lazy writing. Which would explain why the writers still rely on retro notions of partnership that set marriage as the goal that can and should be skipped into lightly, without the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining lasting love. Aaaargh!
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that they are trying to recreate the Stephanie/Ridge/Brooke feud with Steffy/Thomas/Hope. We will see how it progresses. Of course, I can be completely off! 🤣 If I see a young, dark-haired woman brought on to the show in the next couple of weeks as a love interest for Thomas, I will then be completely certain! Especially if he goes off to Paris and comes back to LA with her in tow.
DeleteThat would be awesome to see him come back with someone else!! I would love to see Hopes reaction to that!! 🤣🤣🤣
DeleteHi Bob, hope you're well. Would you mind reloading when you get a chance. Video is registering as removed. Thanks in advance, it's much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler alert!! I guess, no one read about what Hope is going to do... Because of wanting to teach Steffy a lesson, she is going to Paris, where they started their fling, to accept his proposal. I. Reported on this ,weeks ago. May have been on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteK
They didn’t start their fling in Paris. They started their fling in Rome (Italy.). I wouldn’t trust that spoiler.
DeleteWho accepts a proposal of marriage to teach a vengeful sister a lesson?? That would be completely insane!
DeleteYeah, somehow I don't believe that (I would be pleasantly surprised if it did happen though).
DeleteI believe that we have seen the end of Thope for now. Just temporarily though.
Oh come on Elle, you wouldn’t want Hope to accept the marriage proposal so she could sock it to Steffy. You want Hope to love Thomas like he loves her. And doing what Brandy said above wouldn’t be a testament to Hope’s love. It would be based on Hope’s score keeping with Steffy.
DeleteActually, with Ridge's line of questioning today, and Thomas deciding to end the relationship, Hope might realize that there really isn't any valid reason why she should hesitate to marry the man she loves and shares a family with. It just might be the wake up call she needs, Lynn. In that regard, I would indeed be ecstatic!
DeleteFor now however, I'm willing to endure the twists and turns between them. Not only will it be fire 🔥 🔥 when they reunite but, I'm actually a bit excited at the thought that Thomas/Hope may be the new Ridge/Brooke. It means that Thope are endgame!
Elle, that’s what I am thinking!! I think it’s great if Thomas takes a big step back, because it will help Hope realise what she really wants!! Maybe without him, she may realise what life is going to be like without him..
DeleteI don’t see it going that way. Time will tell. I don’t even think the soap is going to last long enough for that to be the case.
DeleteI’m betting she absolutely does NOT stop him from leaving. Beyond that…..it’s anybody’s guess.
I don't know that Hope can stop Thomas from leaving. She might try but she can't make him stay. I don't even believe that Thomas might want to leave just to have Hope follow him. I think he is genuinely hurt and might choose to take his sister's advice to put some distance between himself and Hope. That way, he can focus on himself and Douglas.
DeleteHowever, if he does indeed leave, I'm saying that it will also give Hope some time to herself to think about what she really wants. And she just might decide it's only Thomas that she wants. Whether she runs to Paris after him or waits for him to return to LA is left to be seen.
