sod article: hope & thomas, with matt atkinson (Spoilers)

So Hope was going to tell Thomas about her feelings for him, but she won't tell her husband? Not "sweet, innocent, honest" Hope who has a strong moral code
I won't feel sorry for her when she is exposed for being trifling. She demands full transparency from Liam, but here she is lying through her teeth daily and allowing herself to fall for Thomas. She's known about her growing feelings for him for some time now but she's done nothing to stop it and hasn't even tried to remove herself from the situation even AFTER being called out by both Brooke and Steffy.

Because she doesn't want to stop it. She loves being close to him, working with him and sharing things with him. I think she enjoys this sensation of falling in love, so she won't let her growing feelings stop growing (if that makes sense ) If any of this was bothering her, she would have said no to this trip and no to modelling the dress.

Frankly, I am not buying Matthew's words about Thomas' feelings. Thomas doesn't look happy. He doesn't look like he has truly made peace with this relationship. He doesn't even notice the models throwing themselves at him when Hope is in the room. He is still having flashbacks when he is designing. He is still calling her an angel and looking at her with loving eyes. And the moment Steffy caught between them was mutual. He looked at Hope the same way she looked at him. The positive thing is he isn't obsessed anymore and he accepts her marriage. But his feelings are as deep as ever. The "he wants Hope to be happy" quote is interesting. I think if he truly sees that he can make her happy, he will give her what she wants, and he won't have to reject her to prove he has changed.

I'm happy they aren't kissing yet. If they kiss, all their conversations will be about guilt, how it can never happen again and how Liam can never know. I prefer to watch them fighting their attraction and gazing into each other's eyes, the sexual chemistry between them is blazing even without physical contacts. I will be susprised if anything more happens before the Italy episodes.

Thank you!
Tom obviously keeps forgetting the times when he had the hots for his beautiful stepmother and even kissed her while she was sleeping on the plane...later he lied about her having had sex with him because Stephanie promised him to give him her shares if he ruined the Bridge marriage...but now he is talking about Brooke going "from man to man" ...why don´t the writers try to look into the show´s history before they write the stories?

It's absolutely not like him going from Catlin to Amber and Amber to Caitlin and Caitlyn to Gabriela and then sleeping with a bunch of FC models, being with Dayze, lusting after his stepmom that he hates and forcing his kisses on her. Going from Caroline to Hope and from Hope to making out with a taken Ivy for "a bet" with Steffy. Then going to Sally and from Sally to Caroline and then from Caroline to Sally and from Sally to Caroline again and then to Hope (and using Amelia's crush to manipulate Hope during that time) and from Hope to using Zoe's love to manipulate Douglas and Hope and when that didn't work he tried to be with Zoe again... from that to trying to date his cousins then gf. Did I forget something?

But Brooke is the one who "makes a lot of mistakes"

Y'all they're for real, for real about Thope. They're really building up them up as a star-crossed couple. I don't know what to say except we'd better prepare ourselves

Prepares ourselves for what?

Just as I thought. Hope and Brooke are being used to redeem Thomas.

And Hope still hasn't done anything but those oh so bad flashes of "hand-holding". Such a scandal. At least in the mag the poll shows 75% do not want Thope.

Just as I thought. Hope and Brooke are being used to redeem Thomas.

Yup and it is pathetic. They could just actually have him be a better person just by going and apologizing to Lope about abusing their child and owning that 100%. Then they could show him sitting down with Brooke and for the first time ever APOLOGIZE to her for ruining her marriage and her life with Berrygate, and ruining her marriage again. He apologized to his mother for his BS, but not once did he say the words "I am sorry my sister and I destroyed your married, I hope some day you can forgive me" to his actual victim. His mother was NEVER the victim, she was an instigator of his mental issues that led to his doing the things he has done. Bell is a fool, the SL here should have been Tom getting therapy and connecting his mental issue right back to the person that triggers them, his mother.
