why does brooke need to explain to hope? (General)

Yes. This sure didn´t looke like Hope realizing she´s falling in love with Tom, rather like her going all crazy about the thought she could be like her mother.
If Bell thinks this is the way to start a Thope romance he better should think twice...

Seems more like Hope is having a mental break down.

Yep. It's looking more and more like this is the direction.

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.

I had a nervous breakdown after losing 2 people I love, when I was 25.

Not what it is at all here.

Hope's life has never been more perfect. She has Beth, Douglas and a husband who finally let his ex-wife go. Thomas isn't stalking her anymore. Steffy, Quinn, Reese or whoever are't tormenting her anymore. Sheila is in jail. Her mother isn't unhappy anymore. Her aunts are doing well. Her line is doing great.

I think Hope is confused. She has so many asking why is she taking Thomas back at HFTF and giving him another chance and asking if she has feelings for him. Maybe she's confusing her kindness and forgiveness with something else and it is scaring her.

There is nothing for Hope to be having a mental break down about. Her life has never been better. Hope's problem is that she has the hots for Thomas!

Hope isn't gonna be like her mother, if this is her worst fear. Hope is already worse than her mother. Brooke may have fallen for bad boys like Deacon or Bill. But neither of those men kept a baby from her, nor relentlessly stalked her for years, nor tried to slaughter the man she supposedly loves or one of her sisters. Seems like she is just looking for a scapegoat. Yesterday it was Liam's fault, today it's Brooke's, tomorrow it will be Steffy's.

How is she already worse than her mother? Hope NEVER had anywhere close to the scandals Brooke had..not even close. So far, these lust thoughts only existed in her head! Even in her fantasy, she did NOT kiss Thomas passionately. She has NOT acted out any cheating kiss or adultery..not even close.

Wanting Thomas got Hope scared that she's just like Brooke. That's why she's freaked out.
And poor Liam. He said where did THAT come from? after they had sex.
I can't wait to see his face when he finds out it was because Hope was thinking about Thomas the whole time :rofl

her thinking about thomas during sex with liam was actually disgusting and when liam finds out, that will crush him

The show was hilarious. Hope imagining she's with Thomas and freaking out over it. . Brooke playing the sex kitten and getting called out by Hope for it.. Liam having no clue it wasn't him that brought the energy to their roll on the couch. It certainly was entertaining.

Hope has it bad for Thomas and she knows it. I agree that's why she freaked out. Hope knew Brooke was having dinner with Ridge; maybe she was hoping to find something going on so that Hope could ease her own guilt. And Liam's heading has got to be spinning, and it's only going to get worse! After their romp on the couch, he tells Hope that was amazing, “You were amazing! Where did that come from?!” and Hope runs off to the big house. It was definitely "Liam who?".

I was lmao when she kept seeing Thomas. Did he put on pheromones or something? She can’t stop thinking about him and it got her real hot with Liam.

I was glad that even though Brooke looked completely pissed off with Hope's tirade, she saw through it and knew this was about Hope, not herself.

brooke definitely saw right through her, she knows her daughter well and immediately picked up on hope's rant possibly being about feelings for another man

or anyone else why she was downstairs - in her own house - in a nightgown?
hope was totally overreacting and at this point, it looks like she is taking out her realization that she has feelings for thomas on her own mother

She doesn't. Hope was way out of line, Hope is also having a breakdown and I was glad that even though Brooke looked completely pissed off with Hope's tirade, she saw through it and knew this was about Hope, not herself. That was probably the most real episode this show has shown in ages. I am sure all of us on here can remember getting mad at our mothers because we were hurt by someone, or mad at ourselves. I know I did it whenever some boy broke my heart....took it out on my mom for about 15 minutes, while she stood there and took it, then I would start crying and feeling ashamed, and then mom moved into mom mode and made it OK.

I like the whole thing between Brooke and Ridge today....all of it.

I think this is all about Hope breaking down. I am not sure what is going on with Tom, because he is thinking about Hope constantly, but does seem to be trying to be respectful. Maybe this is going to be about Tom being redeemed by helping Lope to stay together by not using this mental issue she is having, to get in her pants.

Or it's about Hope coming to Thomas on her own this time.

I don't see this happening..because he is clearly still obsessed with everything Hope. He is constantly thinking about Liam's WIFE still....working on HFTF nonstop and seems to be living at FC. Just the other that model Petra flirted with him and asked him out for a drink, yet he was quick to shut her down. Why? He's is very single and should be ready to mingle, yet he absolutely refuses to date. Weird.

Today, Ridge asked him if he's seeing anyone or dating anyone, Thomas immediately changed the subject right to Hope. He is still an obsessed creep. JMO.

This is another rewrite and senseless plot. Most of Brooke's dirtiest scandals happened before Hope was born or when she was a baby or a toddler. The only mistakes Brooke made since Hope is adult are Oliver and Bill, and Hope wasn't even in town through most of Bill and Brooke's history. How is Brooke responsible for Hope's feelings for Thomas. She is off topic

right? that was my thought too
if anything, brooke's been the one warning hope about thomas
while hope defends him constantly

This isn’t the first time Hope has criticized Brooke about her past & said she didn’t want to be like her when it comes to men. Now that’s coming back up because of her attraction to Thomas. However, she is responsible for her own feelings that have nothing to do with Brooke. Brooke is just an easy target.

Team SINN! Team Thope!

If Bell's purpose was to twist us the fans in knots, he has succeeded in that.

This current story line is nowhere near the Hope that we know even those that do not even like her,
So it seems very clear to me and many have spoken on this board that Hope is having a mental breakdown for now. And for today that included nagging at her mother and putting her down for something Hope was
responsible for, her and her alone, but she can't admit it to herself much less to anyone else.

Tell me please, when is it the responsibility of a grown woman who by the way LIVES in the Little House on the Prairie cabin on her mother's property, to get up from what looked and sounded like for Liam very good sex and just has to go see her mother?

And then has the nerve to stand there and look thru a sheer curtain, actually she pulled it aside and poked her nose in first before then coming on in and stood there berating her mother for what she was wearing in her own house and continuing on how she had had to live with this through so many years.

Brooke goofed there. First she should not have come down in that sexy outfit until she knew for sure that Ridge was gone. But it is her house so I will give her a pass there. But in going upstairs to bed, she should have turned the candles out, closed that darn patio door etc. and told Ridge to let himself out the front door.
Otherwise, any Tom, Dick and Harry could wander in.

And then the strangest thing of all, Liam is standing there with his jaw dropped to the floor, and then HE
shows up as well at Brooke's wanting to know what is going on. Please, can no one have a private conversation without someone making a big deal about it?

Let Hope explain this. It is going to get worse before it is better.

That's true, and I'm tired of Hope making everyone else feel they are wrong, so she can be right. She did it to Liam when he found her on top of Thomas. Now, she is doing it to her mother.

I'm sick of this. I thought we'd moved on from chastising Brooke about her past. I'm so sick of the fact that this show can't move on from it.

Well we know Hope can’t and seeing mommy parade around in a nightie why didn’t Brooke just put on a robe..she looked so stupid parade in a nightie and giggly gawd who writes this stuff

What I find most interesting is that the two people who have defended and protected hope the most against Thomas are two people whom hope wants to ream out and jump on. I don’t know what her feelings for Thomas actually are or whatever this is but she’s getting on my nerves! It’s just frustrating. When Brooke and Liam went against Thomas rightfully, so Hope didn’t wanna hear anything about it. It was so disappointing to see her Reem out Brooke even for being with her own father, Deacon today. As if! Isn’t that the man that she trying to push up all on Brooke.

And although I don’t want Brooke anywhere near Ridge, which has nothing to do with that silly pack, she has with Taylor how dare hope sit there and say that Ridge is inappropriate for Brooke. Truth is he might be because of the way he treated Brooke. Bridge broke up due the machination of Thomas he was Brooke‘a husband. Brooke was the one who was treated poorly for an entire year and beat up upon through the machination of Thomas and Steffy. Yet Thomas is the one that Hope is fantasizing about. But she has the audacity to come in Brooks home and ream her out.

I’m getting tired of the storyline already. Seems to me Hope wants to blame everybody for her own thoughts and her own feelings, she needs to tell the truth and deal with it.

I’m with you, Brooke doesn’t owe hope a damn thing. Let alone and explanation of what it is that she does her house. I also I’m getting tired of Brooke past being thrown up in her face again and again. Why doesn’t hope show this much iron and anger when Steffy was sleeping with her husband? Why isn’t she showing this much are in anger about what Thomas did to her mother? Why isn’t she still with this much iron anger about what Thomas kept the fact that her daughter wasn’t dead from her. Hope needs to sit her down and shut up!!!!

Yep. And that's right about Deacon. I forgot she was pushing that.

I think she pegged Brooke perfectly Brooke in her nightie …Brooke was giggly wiggly again yuck

Brooke is single and was in her own home with a single man. She could have come down naked and said "come on upstairs and do me Ridge" and she still would not have done anything wrong. She owes no one any explanation at all about her business with Ridge. How dare Hope come into her mother's house and accuse her of anything at all. Hope does not live in the house with her mother. Brooke is a mature woman who can see, date, bed, whatever with whomever she pleases. Hope is the one that is married and needs to be chastising herself for HER behavior, and not her mother.

AGREEING, Hope pegged Brooke correctly today, and she was upset already with herself, and was coming to her mother for a sounding board and finds her mother behaving in a manner that she felt was inappropriate and thereby making her feel even worse.

Hope was deflecting. She's becoming attracted to Thomas ( ), feels guilty and is taking it out on Brooke.

Exactly it’s good soap

Hope is over the top. She never ever saw her mother trying to seduce any man. I don’t believe it. She didn’t see her mother with Deacon and Bill and Brooke were married as was Brooke and Ridge. Hope is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

There were other men in Brooke's life, and Hope did see it. Nick, for example. At one point Nick was going to be Hope's stepdaddy. She saw Brooke bounce around between men, including Bill (and Brooke and Bill were not married at that time). Hope may be unleashing her own guilt on Brooke, but she's not nuts; Brooke's history, which Hope had a front row seat for many years, speaks for itself.

THREE TIME OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS WINNER: Jacqueline MacInnes Wood as Steffy Forrester

THE Steffy Forrester! 9000 episode!

Let us NOT forget it WAS Hope who told poor Alexandra Forrester that Taylor Hayes caused her mother's death.
Hope IS no saint. She needs to check herself before she wrecks herself. Seriously...

Zanegray said:<<<Should Brooke have to explain herself? No, but it was pretty transparent as to what she was doing, and Hope was not totally wrong about Brooke. Hope was definitely unleashing on Brooke because Hope herself was feeling guilty for having the hots for Thomas, but Hope also had some pretty good points.

Yes, Hope did make some good points today, but that is water under the bridge. She has forgiven her mother many many times since those mistakes and not once since then held it against her.

So if she wants to sit down nicely and explain to her mother she is having some issues and she knows it is not fair but she is recalling times when what her mother did hurt her growing up, ok, I can accept that.
But just to blurt all of that out today in her own mother's house with no really good cause except Ridge had been there and saw her in her teddy, little uncalled for.
