Hope's attraction - there were signs long before

This burning desire for Thomas isn't sudden.
And this isn't OOC for Hope to fall for other guys. She was still attracted to her first love long after the wall sex with Brooke and long after she met Liam. It took her a long time to make a final choice and let her first boyfriend Oliver go. She became smitten when she met Wyatt even though she and Liam were making wedding plans. She rejected Liam a few times for Wyatt and had a divided heart until she left town. I don't think this passion for Thomas is new. I doubt there is a medical breakdown. She's finally admitting it to herself. There were a lot of worrying signs long before her first fantasy. The only thing on her mind was Beth when they were married, she wasn't ready. But afterwards she was often ambiguous around Thomas. For example :

- When he was with Zoe, she looked jealous. The way she was hiding and spying on them kissing was ambiguous. She had a strong reaction when he proposed to Zoe. At the time she claimed it was only concerns for Douglas, but it was more.
- Before Steam's night, she was spending more time with Thomas and Douglas than her husband. One of the reasons why Liam lost faith when his GPS lagged and indicated Hope was still in his apartment. Up until she found him with the mannequin, they were making googly eyes, having family dinners, etc... She trusted Thomas over Liam regarding the reason why he had the mannequin. When Liam confronted her, she blamed him for not trusting her but his instincts were correct. She didn't know at the time, but the feelings were already there.
- There were a few ambiguous scenes las year and not only the ''hot'' comment with Paris. The t-shirt change when she stared at his bare chest and couldn't take her eyes off him. The hand contact, she had some dizziness after he put his hand on hers on the table. All the loving looks before and after the fashion show. And the tears in her eyes when she rejected his kiss and said she couldn't be what he wanted because she is married. Not the rejection of a woman without feelings. The thought of breaking his heart made her cry and then she looked conflicted when she went home.

I think she's had growing feelings for a long time. The timing looks bizarre now, but it was a long-term process. Thomas kept disappointing her and proving he couldn't change, so it was harder to admit her feelings. I don't think she was lying on purpose. She was in denial and locked her feelings away until now. Perhaps he has genuinely changed this time, and that's how she finally acknowledges her feelings for him. This is my personal interpretation, I could be wrong.

Yet, she shot Thomas down immediately when he tried to kiss her after the fashion show..she told him straight up that she's in love with her husband Liam. If she has this "burning desire" for a good long while, she would've went for a passionate kiss back then, but she didn't

And I never saw her jealous of Zomas..I didn't see her throw herself at Thomas or tried to seduce him away from Zoe either.

The timing looks bizzare now because it was only after her mother's random "bad boys" comment that she suddenly out of nowhere started to fantasize about "bad boy" Thomas. Looks to me, this "bad boys" comment is tricking her mind right now..it's messing with her head. JMO.

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.
