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

I agree a lot seems superficial, but it is also true the sexual chemistry is great. Liam and Hope are no longer viable to me because of how abruptly they ended and neither one of them seems to care. It reminds me of a first love that they’ve both outgrown. Hope seemed in the beginning like Thomas was a rebound only tome, but now it seems the opposite. She seems secure and happier than ever. We will see what this week brings.

I won’t disagree. But Thope is not going to work if they want to keep the characters in front. They just do not click where it matters for daytime drama….the drama filled scenes. I don’t think anything is going to help their blandness in those scenes. The show has tried and they just do not have it. Lope has it, and their sexual chemistry is tepid, but this is not a daytime sex show, so being able to click dramatically probably is more important.

Lope was stale rut

It was to the point I would rather stab my eyes than watch them

They removed Hopes halo made her a great soap diva but Liam still sneeky lump trying to dig steffy from his pocket….she’s got Finn..no chance she will pick Liam …I don’t think they know what to do with Liam except daddy lunches

I agree. That made Hope interesting. Even the bad boy Liam was goofy

Hopes out grown goofy liam ….he runs around gossipy he’s annoying nat…while Hope thrives …
