Do you think Thomas can be healthy about Hope
I have yet to see a character have a history of psychological issues with a love interest and overcome that. They might be able to have a healthy relationship with someone else but not with the object of their obsession. That’s my opinion. It’s obviously not a fact here because show can write whatever it wants. I keep talking about how bad Thomas is for Hope, but just maybe Hope is bad for Thomas.
No. Not until he gets laser focused on someone else, or Hope finally sleeps with him and he can get it out of his system. Tom has been psychotic a lot longer than he has been hooked on Hope. He tried to kill Rick twice, before he was ever hooked on Hope. He lied about Berrygate to end Bridge, again before Hope. Tom has not been right in a long time. And I still think this is all Taylor's fault and that is the SL they should be doing. A TomTaylor SL about why he is so unstable. Taylor's return from the dead disrupted the life he had known for years. It caused him to lose whom he considered his baby sister Hope, and his little brother RJ, and his step-mom who he was close to. This was not Taylor's fault. But Taylor did turn his first wife into INS to be deported. That was a betrayal. Then Taylor takes up with Rick, which leads to Phoebe's death. This leads eventually to Tom trying to kill Rick twice, when Rick takes up with Steffy after Taylor dumps Rick. Instead of making Tom own the crimes and take the punishment, and getting help through that process, she allows his aunt to go to jail for it, and when he wants to confess, he is told by Taylor he cannot do it.
Later Stephanie takes advantage of him and gets him to lie by making false promises to him, and the reason....so Taylor can have Ridge. All roads for Tom's psychotic behavior lead right to Taylor's door.
It is time for a Tom/Taylor SL that deals with their strange relationship. There has been a real Oedipus thing going on between them for years. Last years "grape festival" was showing it blatantly.
