Time to rip the bandaid off Hope!

It’s time to say yes or goodbye to Thomas in my opinion. If it’s true that she’s the happiest she’s ever been, and the kids are happy and secure, there is no reason not to be engaged. I know many hate Thope and honestly, my mind changes almost daily about them, but an engagement would have lots of drama who knows, . maybe that’s what we will see next week with the spoilers. Regardless, this ring around the neck and constant proposals is played out… it’s decision time!

IMHO, this "will she or won't she" has been going on so long because these 2 have no dramatic chemistry together. It is all they can do to put some angst into them. They do have sexual chemistry together, or did, it has been done to death now, and they are very light together....but they have no dramatic chemistry IMHO and they have been tested for years to see if they do. The drama and angst from the baby Beth SL came from Liam and Douglas, and Liam and Tom. The Tom and Hope scenes were flat. The drama and angst during the mannequin SL came from Hope and Liam at Tom's apartment. And Tom and Ridge at the hospital. The Hope and Tom scenes, fell flat. They do not click dramatically....again MO, but I do think others can see it too. A soap couple has to be able to convey angst and drama to the audience, and I just do not see it with this pairing at all. Maybe if they have her saying "no" to him again, we will get more dramatic heartfelt scenes and they will shine. But so far, Liam and Hope in those kind of scenes are pure gold. Hope and Tom drama scenes are tin, there is a hollow ring to them.

I can only think of one scene with them where I saw any hint of chemistry in a serious moment, in the judge's chambers when Douglas chose Steffy, and Hope and Tom were speaking alone. That is the only time I have seen them spark during a serious scene. JMO
