Hope's daydreaming

Why did she think of the scene that was literally Thomas's imagination on the show?! lol It makes no sense. It happened only in Thomas's mind and suddenly it's in Hope's mind? Nice re-write.


Yeah, it was weird. She's never shown to have any romantic feelings for Thomas, then after her mother makes one "bad boy" comment and suddenly she has this non-kiss fantasy that came out of nowhere. The writing on this show makes no sense most of the times.


She could have him since 2012... But she constantly rejected him. Even when she was married to him she couldn't force herself to sleep with him and now all of a sudden she has a fantasy about kissing him? The writers are so weak.


Agree..first, out of nowhere Brooke made that bad boy comment. Then out of nowhere, Hope suddenly has this G rated fantasy. I’m starting to wonder if Lope’s unique story is that Hope becomes anxious again and starts to take those anxiety pills again? Because she’s afraid to turned into her mother plus all these pressure from Liam about Thomas. Then Liam has to help her overcome her anxiety issues? Just my guess.


It's going to be something like that. That was obvious to me when at the end of the show Hope looked over at the pic of her and Brooke and remembered Brooke's words to her about "bad boys".


Yeah, and she said at the very end scene..what’s happening to me? She’s stressed! So, if the story is going this direction, then it’s not really about Thomas. It would be more about how Lope deal with her anxiety issues. JMO.


Yeah, I highly doubt we're going to get a big Thope romance. It's just more angst for Lope. And if Hope finds that she's fighting feelings for Thomas, so what? She looked horrified at the thought of it. Brooke put the suggestion in her head about the "bad boy" thing and then Liam put pressure on her to get rid of Thomas. Wouldn't shock me if this story will be about Hope being in turmoil. Maybe she's sick of being pressured and wants to break out a little. Good for her.


But she put herself in this position. Time and time again. She had other options for her line (look for another designer, start a new line... her BIL is a billionnaire, she has all the funds she needs). Kind of hard to feel sorry for her or see her as a victim if she has some turnoil or mental breakdown. All she had to do is keep her distance with Thomas and put her family first, like she repeatedly vowed. It wasn't more complicated. I felt a bit sorry for her the first time she forgave Thomas and he disappointed her again... but not anymore. Not after this 4th, 5th, 6th time Liam and Brooke proved her wrong. It was only a few weeks ago that Thomas torpedooed her mom's marriage and abused her son yet again. Probably less than a few weeks in daytime. And now she's praising him and acting like they've always been best friends. This is on her. She just told Deacon that if anything weird happens, Thomas will be gone for good. Something weird happened today. She had 2 fantasies. Will she fire Thomas like she said she would? If she doesn't, then that's on her. You don't work with someone who is madly in love with you, let alone if you realize you also have some feelings for him. It's in her hands now. No more victim Hope.


Meh. She wanted to work with Thomas because he's the best designer for her line and so she is. She can make the decision on whether or not she believes Thomas has changed. Liam can be as upset about it as he wants, and I don't really blame him, but he can't dictate to her.

I don't really worry about something being "on her". If she messes up, she messes up. What would that mean? That she's suddenly being written as a villain? Highly doubt it. #TeamHope #TeamLope


She wants to work with Thomas because she wants to be close to him. Why did she make Liam promise in the first place? Only to do the opposite 1h later. Hard to buy that their relationship is "strickly professional" like she claims, after those last 2 episodes. If this was prfessionnal, she would have considered another option. Why can't she start her own line? She hasn't even TRIED to look for another designer. She hasn't even considered asking Bill or Brooke to fund a new line. She rehired Thomas in the blink of an eye, without giving Liam's feelings any consideration. As usual I should say.

She isn't going to mess up if she does the right thing now. The cards are still in her hands. She can fire him like she said she would. Or at least ask other models to design. Just because they work together doesn't mean they have to spend hours and hours alone together behind closed doors. I work in a large company with over 10,000K employees, I don't interact with them. Having Douglas together doesn't mean they have to spend so much time together. My sister and her ex-husband have 2 sons together. They only see each other every 2 weekends, for 5 minutes. If Hope feels attracted to Thomas, she can do just that. Send the nanny to pick up Douglas and send models when Thomas needs one. It's not more complicated.

She made the promise to Liam but then she changed her mind after hearing Brooke and Taylor's opinion. She's allowed to change her mind. I don't see why she should fire Thomas if he really has changed.

Liam to Hope. Debate over.
