SPOILERS.....Today's show

Just watched todays show. Hope was an absolute fool to try and put her hand on Liam's face like she did with Tom....Liam looked repulsed when she did it.

She is in the dress she has on when she kisses Tom, so she must hightail it over to Tom after she talks with Liam. I am guessing Liam just tells her they are done, and she says "okay" and then runs to Tom. Or, Liam tells her they can try to make it work, but she cannot work with Tom anymore if it is going to work between them. And then she says "I cannot do that" and then hightails it over to Tom. Or, Liam tells her that he kissed Steffy and Hope gets mad and hightails it to Tom. Bottom line here is, Lope is using Tom and Steffy as their personal toilets to just use and flush at will.

Hope once again has told RJ and Liam that basically Tom is a bad person. But at least today she admitted she was to blame for putting herself in a gilded cage and setting high standards, and she just wanted to find out what it would be life to do something impulsive and to feel free. And she said something I think about it not being so good, and it was her fault.

Oooooh Steffy is going to go for Hope's throat. JMO. She was angry about Hope derailing Tom's hard work and that Tom was the creative end of HFTF, and he said it was Hope's ideas, and Steffy said without Tom they would have just been Hope's unrealized ideas. Steffy looked like her granny today....and I think she is going to be about for blood. I think we may also find out that she blames Hope for creating his mess that has now got her in a position she is keeping something from the man she loves, which is Finn.

Brooke told Ridge it was all Hope's fault, and they had a nice back and forth about how they have all people could understand all sides in this mess. It was great to see them on the same page and being a united and loving couple.

I am wondering now if Hope goes to kiss Tom because of something she said to RJ about it was all just a fantasy in her mind, and when she said that line, it was like a lightbulb went on in her brain. So I could almost see her going to Tom and kissing him as a test for herself and maybe for him. IDK

Thanks so much for the update. Nice to hear Brooke and Ridge are talking about the situation with cool heads. I'm really not sure how these stories are going to progress. With 4 children, I wonder whether JMW will be rushing to get back to work once she gives birth. If that's the case, what would be the story for Steffy, As for the Hope/Thomas story, seems kind of weird to go in that direction if Ridge/Brooke are solid. Mom/Dad and Son/Daughter just seem so weird.

This testing the waters for Thope has gone on way too long....and I think there must be a reason. Either they have no other story to tell because of the writers strike, or the feedback is more negative than positive for Thope, and they are trying to dance as fast as they can dirtying other characters up, to put Thope across. Either way, I think from a viewer perspective, they have dragged this on too long, and IMHO any spark Thope had, any chemistry they had, is dwindling fast. I loathe the idea of Thope, so I don't see their spark, but I do read other boards, and their spark is waning with some who wanted them. JMO

I still don't think they will be a legit couple. I cannot see Hope consciously deciding to be with him after she's said repeatedly that she doesn't want him. Especially when she's constantly acknowledging what he's done and how wrong it is for her to have feelings for him. It would be one thing if she says he's changed and she's forgiven him but I don't think she's said that. Even if/after her marriage ends I still don't see Thope getting together.

I would laugh so hard if, after all this, Hope never does get with Thomas and the end result of this story is Liam and Steffy back together.

I wouldn't be surprised at all. I've said from the beginning that if Hope and Thomas do get together it would destroy the character of Hope in a way in which it would be difficult to come back. Already she looks awful to a lot of people but they have managed to lessen that somehow by having Liam kiss Steffy and reminding viewers that he's not exactly perfection himself. But if she and Thomas do become a legit couple, no amount of Leffy reruns can make that better, in my opinion.
