Exactly. He had to tell the boy why they were moving to Paris without Hope.

I guess, but does Thomas think it's good to make Douglas feel like he isn't good enough for Hope? There has to be a better way. Douglas was talking like he was 30 years old.

Exactly. Douglas can think for himself and he OFTEN thinks for himself, despite the adults. He proved that last year by asking to live with Steffy.

Yes, Douglas thinks it. That's my point. That's exactly why he shouldn't have told him about the proposals.

Thomas didn't make Douglas feel like he wasn't good enough for Hope. Douglas came to that conclusion on his own. Normal conclusions for a kid his age whose parents were playing family and giving him hope for a permanent family together.

Thomas sure told Douglas in the worse. He should have been more adult in the way he told Douglas and not like a spoiled brat that didn’t get his way
Thomas and Hope could have told Douglas together
The Caroline Spencer thing was uncalled for

It was the dumbest dialog written for a child I have ever heard....unless he is suppose to be "Young Sheldon"....his message was good, the way they wrote him to deliver it was absurd. "Caroline Spencer was my mother, she gave birth to me"??? Huh??? What kid talks like this? It sounded silly. I was laughing my butt off listening to it. The kid is great, and I admire him doing the lines without rolling his eyes. LOL. Why not just write it like a real kid would say it....the kid is a very good actor....I wish the same could be said about the writing.

"My father said you turned down his proposal"
"Dad's had struggles, it's been tough for both of us, but he has worked so hard to get past them"
"good-bye"

Really? This was written like he accidentally was handed the script that was meant for Ridge. LOL

Ok, I am going to say it...I am glad the kid went with Tom. Hope never should have adopted him in the first place. And the worst part of it is, she adopted the kid under false pretenses. She still has no idea that Tom forged that letter from Caroline. In fact there are a lot of things about Tom she still does not know, because he continued to lie about stuff to her. I hope she finds out everything. Time for Hope to start thinking again about her daughter Beth, who has been short changed for the last year, when it comes to attention from her parents. I am glad Doug is gone. I am glad Tom is gone. I hope MA takes a nice long break and has a great time traveling with his wife. He has worked non-stop for over a year, he deserves the break.

Yeah, I really believe Douglas' exit was SL dictated. I don't think we are supposed to be over analyzing it. We'll see, but that's my thoughts. And yeah, Douglas needs to be back with his father and grandmas, and HFTF needs to go away. I don't want to see them continuing that line anymore.

Just like Brooke's Bedroom, everything has a season. HFTF needs to go away.

And Hope should want nothing personal to do with these people! She's far better off without them in her private life. Keep it professional. These faux Forresters are totally toxic to her. Time to open her eyes!

Exactly. Douglas knew about both proposals. A kid doesn't need to know all the details of adult business.

And yes, they should have talked to him together.

Exactly. As much as I think he did the mature thing with Hope yesterday, this was handled poorly and may not have been intentional. That child shouldn't have known about the proposal.

Exactly. As much as I think he did the mature thing with Hope yesterday, this was handled poorly and may not have been intentional. That child shouldn't have known about the proposal.

Agree. And the way Thomas defended Hope today, I don't know if it was intentional, either. But it clearly wasn't well thought out. Hope was reaching out to Thomas so they could sit down together with Douglas to tell him the news only to find out that Thomas already told him everything. And I mean everything.

Why did Thomas tell Douglas about the proposal?

Actually Douglas sounded as if someone already talked to him before..."Why are WE not good enough for you, Mommy?" - "Don´t you love US enough, Mommy?"..."My real mother is Caroline Spencer"...(I got it from a recap, can only watch later)....someone prepared him for this talk.
I thought Thomas and Hope would talk with him together...:roll

Hope has been wearing that ring around her neck like a cowbell. How can the child NOT know about it and not draw his own conclusions?

Thomas probably told Douglas he was designing a dress and preparing. Yeah, he probably did. Douglas has been included in plenty of proposals and even helped Liam throw a surprise wedding. It's not surprising that Douglas knew about this.

And it's also logical that Thomas, who has decided to take parental control, talked to his son and told him that they are leaving the country and why. I don't think it's logical to take the boy on the jet to move to another country without telling him why.

Douglas has been involved in so many adult decisions in the past. Now, he shouldn't be told. that's inteteresting.

That set him up for disappointment.

Because Thomas is immature and that is apparent in his parenting choices.

The kid was coached. Thomas wanted him to feel rejected by Hope.

Either this or Steffy talked to him too...telling him that Hope didn´t love them enough and didn´t want them to be a family...after what she delivered during the last episodes it would sound just like Steffy.

Yeah, no. The writers aren't going to leave pivotal scenes like that out of the story. Nor would they not leave clues such as, 'Dad said you don't love us enough."

Because he told Douglas why he was leaving the country without Hope? I don't know what else Thomas was supposed to do. Lie about why he was leaving without Hope and taking Douglas?

Maybe the show did it this way to end Thope and their family.:whistle It felt like a closure today imo.

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.

It did feel final but that's happened before and then things turn around. I hope it's the end but I won't get my hopes up yet. There's still a chance that they had Thomas walk away just to show he's changed.

We should know soon, I think. ;-)

But what difference does it make since Hope already believed he's "changed" all these past many months.
After all that was said this week, if things suddenly turn around then it's all still very forced. And Thope will just be mocked even more of a joke. IMO.

The difference is that Thomas can be used as a leading man if he's redeemed. I don't know if they care if they're mocked.

After the way they used him as a villain, it's way too late to try to change course....he'll NEVER make a believable leading man. I really don't believe it'll work at all. Unless the show wants to keep tanking even more. JMO.

Yes, it sounded final with Douglas, and it came full circle also when he brought it back to Caroline. I think that when Thomas comes back, he might not have Douglas. Douglas might be in New York. This might be the end of Douglas in the storytelling. Just guessing.

Drangonfly I don't know
what to think I'm happy
Thope is over.I can't believe
Douglas told Hope she wasn't
his mommy anymore and
that Carolne is?So I take it
our fave girl Hope Logan
no longer has custody of Douglas.
Maybe it's for the best,this way
our fave girl Hope Logan can
move on with her life minus Creepy Tom & Douglas.
