Hope’/ reaction (General)

If her her nonchalant attitude about kissing Thomas is intentional, what does that mean? If it’s not intentional what does that say? I think if it is intentional, it could say that the show is giving us a hint that all is not well with Hope. If it is unintentional it could mean it’s just a story and it doesn’t have to make sense.

In my opinion in both cases it means that she isn't doing well. She acts crazy.

Well you only get to that with a same sex friend or if you are alone...when you are married. You should not be out running around pretending you are single and making out with some guy, and prancing around pleased as punch. That is just strange stuff. I get they are in another country and think they are safe from Liam seeing them....but they are not in that country without being known in the press, and their families and co-workers are also in the same city.

To me what is strange about all of this is, it was not usual soap opera cheating...this was done like real life on-going cheating. She has been thinking about his for months, he has hot pants for her, that was obvious, they get to a foreign city on business, and then they are running around making out and he is feeling her up...then they are acting like lovers on a holiday. This is what longtime cheaters do. They meet up in a city somewhere, then run around pretending they are a couple of free agents and people look at them and think...."what a nice looking couple"....when what they are is a couple of nice looking snakes in the grass.

Both Thomas and Hope enjoyed each other. Just because there wasn’t a mannequin involved, doesn’t mean it isn’t sosp like

What was odd to me was when Hope and Thomas were just about to leave that cafe and the couple came in and asked for a photo with Hope (as the girl was such a BIG fan). I found it weird that that didn't snap Hope out of her little fantasy with Thomas and have her realize that she is a well known public figure and needed to be careful for her image. Nothing seemed to register - she just posed and smiled while Thomas took the photo like he was the proud boyfriend and then they sauntered off together. I totally agree with those who say this whole incident after the big kissing scene is bizarre... NO shock/no conversation/no nothing. Just smiling at each other tenderly, walking around holding hands and acting as if it's all normal. It is NOT normal.

Nothing about what happened in Rome makes sense. Things seemed out of sync and stories didn't align properly. No build up and no climax. It was so weird.

Well if that’s the way it was written, she should not care that Liam finds out.

What was that scene about....in a 20 minute soap I would think every move or word is about something. What was that about? When she asked for the photo, I thought it was going to be one of Tom and Hope...then I thought, oh, there is the photo that will hit the papers after the kiss is revealed. Then why did he say "if we want to get out of here, we better leave now"? I just thought maybe this is to show how popular HFTF is now after the preview....and Hope is really enjoying the fame....and maybe when Steffy makes it known whose side she is on, and if that is not about Bridge/Taylor....then maybe Steffy does pause HFTF for the next go-round.

Hope and Thomas both should enjoy the frame. Nothing wrong with that. If HFTF remains their top money making line, Steffy would be an idiot to pull it. This is between Liam and Hope only

Maybe Hope realized that she can no longer deny her feelings for Thomas so she explored it but then decides that it's Liam she wants. She sort of did the same thing during Lope v Hott. The night before her and Liam's wedding she went to see Wyatt and got caught up in her feelings for him but then stopped it because she wanted Liam.

Being a soap opera, Steffy can pretty much do what she wants to shake it up. I am thinking she is going to either fire Hope for cause, or tell Tom she is moving him to a different line so FC does not have all their eggs in one basket. I do think Steffy is going to go after Hope, for a myriad of reasons. If Thope wants to be together they can, but I do think Steffy is going to do something that makes it so they are not working together. I could see this coming down to a Steffy and Tom feud. I think Ridge would side with Steffy, since he seems to most of the time anyway.

IMO, she isn't well..something weird is up. Thomas is giving me a very creepy vibe..he's not at all surprised that Hope is so openly throwing herself at him and so passionate with him when she's never done it before. Wouldn't a supposed changed Thomas be freaking out that Liam's wife is all of sudden super into him? Yet, he isn't shocked at all of her odd behavior of no remorse. IMO, Thomas is up to no good but nobody on the show is suspicious of him..I think he just up his game. It's also very suspicious that he never had any interest of a healthy dating life all these past few months..he had no life outside of HFTF. Weird!

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.

Hope is married. She kissed another man (not just a little smooch, they basically made out) and then proceeds to walk around smiling and holding hands like she and Thomas were on a date without a care in the world. In some little world of their own - THAT fantasy. The 'fan' coming up to get a picture should have snapped Hope out of her reverie to remember who she is. Yeah, she's a big 'celebrity' I guess, but she is also a wife. And a mother.

Yes, she stays judgmental no matter how horrendous she has been and continues to be. She has no problem having inappropriate discussions with Liam. Yet Hope must be destroyed. She was horrendous to Brooke, and look at Steffy doing exactly what she admonished Brooke for! Bet she won't think she should be punished for all eternity, though. She will walk around, looking like she has been sucking on lemons all the time until she goes. I hope she takes a lot of time off this time around, too. I am so done with seeing that eyerolling every day.

If her her nonchalant attitude about kissing Thomas is intentional, what does that mean? If it’s not intentional what does that say? I think if it is intentional, it could say that the show is giving us a hint that all is not well with Hope. If it is unintentional it could mean it’s just a story and it doesn’t have to make sense.

They wanted to enjoy their idyllic day with each other without having to think about anything else.

Exactly correct

What was odd to me was when Hope and Thomas were just about to leave that cafe and the couple came in and asked for a photo with Hope (as the girl was such a BIG fan). I found it weird that that didn't snap Hope out of her little fantasy with Thomas and have her realize that she is a well known public figure and needed to be careful for her image. Nothing seemed to register - she just posed and smiled while Thomas took the photo like he was the proud boyfriend and then they sauntered off together. I totally agree with those who say this whole incident after the big kissing scene is bizarre... NO shock/no conversation/no nothing. Just smiling at each other tenderly, walking around holding hands and acting as if it's all normal. It is NOT normal.

What was that scene about....in a 20 minute soap I would think every move or word is about something. What was that about? When she asked for the photo, I thought it was going to be one of Tom and Hope...then I thought, oh, there is the photo that will hit the papers after the kiss is revealed. Then why did he say "if we want to get out of here, we better leave now"? I just thought maybe this is to show how popular HFTF is now after the preview....and Hope is really enjoying the fame....and maybe when Steffy makes it known whose side she is on, and if that is not about Bridge/Taylor....then maybe Steffy does pause HFTF for the next go-round.

Hope and Thomas both should enjoy the frame. Nothing wrong with that. If HFTF remains their top money making line, Steffy would be an idiot to pull it. This is between Liam and Hope only

Being a soap opera, Steffy can pretty much do what she wants to shake it up. I am thinking she is going to either fire Hope for cause, or tell Tom she is moving him to a different line so FC does not have all their eggs in one basket. I do think Steffy is going to go after Hope, for a myriad of reasons. If Thope wants to be together they can, but I do think Steffy is going to do something that makes it so they are not working together. I could see this coming down to a Steffy and Tom feud. I think Ridge would side with Steffy, since he seems to most of the time anyway.

Fire Hope? That would be Steffy cutting her nose th spite her face. Stupid move.
Steffy is a bully and a fool

Steffy has always been a bully, and she has always been dumb. She will bully Hope yet again. She will be cheered on by her lunatic killer mommy.

Thank goodness Steffy will be gone soon. I hope she stays away a long time. I'm sick of her and her snarky eyerolls and the way she's always judging everyone, which is ironic, considering her sordid past.

Same here. I hope it is a very long leave
