Sounds like this story may be getting away from being about a contentious custody battle and turn into more of a Lope angst one. Yay!

The only "interesting" angst for me will be if Hope is torn. Not that Hope should end up with Thomas, but I doubt many viewers want to see Thomas thrown under the bus with a one-sided obsession again. Let her have feelings for Thomas and fight them, this time. Now that Douglas is older, maybe he will turn into a manipulative kid and scheme to get his parents together. That would also be better than Thomas using Douglas to manipulate Hope.

I would prefer Thomas completely free from Hope and with a new love interest but if the writers are so desperate to keep him for Lope angst, they need to come up with a new approach. Thope could have an emotional affair, without crossing the line. Again, I'm not suggesting they should be together. Just that the person in the middle should be torn. That would also make Thomas vs Liam's rivalry a lot more believable.

I was thinking that this could actually turn out to be the real Thomas "redemption" story. The last one, where he helped Liam and Bill get out of jail was not it, since he went on to conspire with Sheila and there's no way anyone who did that could be considered a "good" character.

I don't think Hope needs to have feelings for Thomas or be in a triangle between him and Liam. The story could focus on the question of whether or not Thomas is fit to be a parent. Maybe Liam thinks he's doing something that he's not and gets angry at Hope for not seeing it.

Liam to Hope. Debate over.
