Hope today

After Hope left Ridge and Brooke she started trying to manipulate Thomas telling him she wants to spend every day with him, to laugh with him, to make love to him. He makes her feel like no other man ever has, and then started using sex to reel him in. Steffy is right about Hope being like Brooke because she is using sex to get what she wants.

Hope wants all the benefits of a committed relationship without the commitment. How is a marriage commitment different than what she said she wants? If she can't say yes to marriage, why should Thomas say yes to what Hope is "proposing"? Also, Hope said that Thomas makes her feel valued, appreciated, etc. She says she's lucky to be the woman that one-woman Thomas wants. What is she giving Thomas? I don't think that he feels valued, appreciated or can be confident that Hope is a one-man woman. Hope wants things to go back to the way they were before Thomas proposed, but I don't see why Thomas should accept that. Hope has been calling all the shots in the relationship. What ARE her intentions? (Good question Ridge, and one that Hope didn't answer). Hope and Thomas are not on the same page, and she's made it completely clear that she's not going to marry him, so the mature thing for Thomas to do is to separate himself from her and focus on himself and Douglas.


I so disagree with your comment that Brooke uses sex to get what she wants. Using sex seems to suggest a transaction in which one person gets nothing but the sex and the other person benefits from the sexual act. Sex for something in return. Like have sex with your boss to get a promotion. I don't find Brooke like that at all.


I've seen Brooke use sex many many times over the years to get what she wanted. It doesn't have to mean that the other person gets nothing from the act, but it is using sex as manipulation if you are trying to get something you want.

I guess I have never seen Brooke have to manipulate any man for sex. I don’t think Hope is anything at all like Brooke.
