Thope Have "It" (General)

As much as it pains me to say Thope have "it". There may be a lot of damage there that makes it difficult for them to be a viable couple but they have chemistry for days. They relate so easily and effortlessly. Hope seems more alive and likeable around Thomas. Thomas almost seems like a human being around Hope. I've despised Thomas for quite some time but he's almost tolerable with Hope. It's hard to reconcile but it is what it is.

I don’t see IT, but she can have HIM. When I see them I go ICK! I will never support a character falling for her villain, especially since it involved a child. It doesn’t matter. If it happens, I’m done with Hope. I can’t give her the same grace I have given Brooke. We will see.

Hope said he can read her mind! I think he will figure her out soon! Bell is taking things slowly between these 2, it's a good thing... Love how they always finish each other's sentences! She certainly doesn't look horrified or stressed, LOL! On the contrary, she is beaming!

Nah..chemistry is subjective. The only "it" I see is that they are a dream team at work is all..other than that, they give me a very creepy vibe..especially since Hope brought up RJ being Thomas' "little half BROTHER". JMO.

Would be a shame for Thomas if Hope's little brother cuts in on his work time with her.

I have great relationships with my coworkers. I’m in a creative space. I don’t have the hots for any of them. Hope is just needy and weak.

Hope could have any designer she wants, but thinks Thomas is the only human being who understands her vision and who can keep her line afloat! She went against Liam's supplications so Thomas could be her lead designer again! If even Liam and Brooke couldn't get through to her, I doubt RJ can!

I agree, I can see nothing romantic between thee two considering their past involvements. They work well together, he is not hitting on her, if she has feelings she is keeping it cool and it seems natural since he is designing for her line.

I do believe the writers are carrying this to the limit, of course.. They do NOT have to share an office.
He should have free reign to design in his own quiet room away form anyone. Then when he is ready he can show Hope what he has come up with and ask or she can give him suggestions, but this does not have to be all day long.

And on the premise that perhaps Hope does have some feelings more than she should for Thomas then she herself should know how dangerous it will be for her to be alone with him so often......and be the one to back off.

It will depend on RJ's designs. Maybe they'll be even better than Thomas's. Ridge sure seems excited.

Enjoy, then. I think today was just the introduction. More dress fitting and fantasies are coming in the next episodes.

I don't care about Hope or Thomas individually, but must admit they have way more chemistry than Lope. Not a hard task if you ask me, but if I have to pick a couple, I prefer Thope. They connect better. Liam definitely needs a reset, with a new love interest.

I have great relationships with my coworkers. I’m in a creative space. I don’t have the hots for any of them. Hope is just needy and weak.

Disagree that she's needy and weak. Steffy shoved Thomas in Hope's face in that "unreasonable" ultimatum. HFTF is Hope's professional baby of many years so she wants to save her line, so she agrees to have Thomas back..it's for business need only. I doubt Brooke/Taylor/Steffy any of these women would give up their professions easily either if they are cornered.

But it’s Hope they are showing fantasizing about Thomas. I hope you are right. I have no patience for Thope. Not at all.

Hope had other options. It has been said in the dialogs. She didn't even try to consider one. Not for second. Has she even tried to contact Bill to fund her line? Looked for another designer on the net? Start her own fashion line, like Liam suggested? No, no and no.

Even after she took Thomas back, Steffy and Ridge told her Thomas can work from home and she can come to them and talk if she feels uncomfortable about something. Hope immediately shut the idea down and ran to Thomas' office to say she is happy to work with him.

All her interactions with Thomas aren't even about HFTF, that's the worst part. They talk about business for 5 seconds and them immediately start the usual praising contest. Then she'll fantasize again. It's little to do with HFTF.

They have off the charts chemistry……it makes Hope interesting

Actually, it's in the dialogue that Steffy's ultimatum is Thomas coming back or no line at all..there was no 3rd options by Steffy. Right after Steffy presented Hope the ultimatum, Steffy even said to her mother that "Hope has to choose Thomas". So, IMO Steffy is not at all sincere in claiming Thomas can work from home..and actually that was Hope's original idea, but Steffy shot it down.

What fantasizing did Hope do today???

Liam to Hope. Debate over.

Agreed.
That horrible awful man told a woman to get over her baby being dead.
Psychologically abused his young impressionable son on multiple occasions.
Chased an innocent young woman while she was driving which was a contributing factor in her death.
Used a woman and took her to the alter just to get another woman into his clutches.
The actors have chemistry yes but this coupling is a mistake. This man has hurt this woman over and over.
Enough is enough.

I don't even like Hope but I have to admit they do have it. Liam should be alone for a while...a long while.

Could be kind of a test for Tom...would he accept that his little brother is working there too and even help him become better?
Or would he start scheming again to get him to leave at least FC if not LA?

Yup. And that could be interesting. I'm curious to see if Bell really wants to redeem Thomas or keep him as a villain.

Liam is a cry baby wuss ….maybe he could open up a office in Europe

That's the thing. Most of Thomas and Hope scenes and conversations are NOT about Douglas or HFTF.

Hope should only see him if it's essential. For the dress fittings, there are models paid for that. For paperwork, there are Carter and Katie. For the security there is Charlie. For other stuff, she can directly see with Steffy or Ridge.

Douglas hasn't been seen in ages and he is hardly mentionned.

All excuses to spend more time together, from both. Maybe they aren't even realizing it, but it's exactly what's happening. Any pretext is good to have a "moment" together.

But, it's all in Bell's pen!

How Hope could ever be fantasizing over Thomas is beyond me. No IT factor there, just disgust.

Could be kind of a test for Tom...would he accept that his little brother is working there too and even help him become better?
Or would he start scheming again to get him to leave at least FC if not LA?

So far all he is saying is that he is happy RJ is back! He has expressed nothing but positive feelings about RJ's return, and RJ doesn't seem to plan a revenge against his brother! Seems like they will be fine!
