Hope is channeling her mom's past and her dad's present (General)

Hope seems to be emulating her parents, her mom's past and her dad's present.

Like her mom Hope fell on her back with an abuser. Brooke spit in Bridget's face by doing so and almost lost her daughter forever. Hope is spitting in Beth's face and eventually Beth will know what her mother did to make her dad leave and what Tom did to her. Brooke and Hope both got caught up in the "freeing' sexual frenzy of it all....the porn fest, wanting it to be secret, the guilt, the shame and finally with Brooke, the total end of it all. Which will come with Thope too.

Hope is now living a parallel situation with her father. Having a sexual relationship with a psycho killer, that is inappropriate on many levels, and will have the whole world against them. Like Deacon, Hope is soon going to be faced with a sex partner that wants to be more. And like her dad, she is going to make it all booty calls and very little substance, while trying to hide it from people. Because she knows....it is wrong....and she might lose her family over it. Just like Deacon could lose his daughter and the good will of Brooke over bedding Sheila. Sheila, like Tom, told Deacon she would let him go because she cares about him and does not want him to lose his family, but just like Tom, she keeps coming back.

This is not going to end pretty for Hope,...IMO. The cleansing of Thomas, may come at the complete cost of Hope and she too, like Brooke, will have this throw in her face for years to come.

I think Brooke and RJ are never going to come around on Tom, for good reasons. He has tried to destroy Brooke's life on more than one occasion. And poor RJ may have to introduce them as his brother Tom who is married to his sister Hope. The aunts will just look at her with sad "tsk. tsk you have no idea the world of hurt coming your way" looks. Beth will eventually be a teen, like in the next year or two, and find out and be up in Hope's face asking her how she could have slept with the monster that wanted her dead. Steffy will throw it in her face every chance she can get how Hope is "just like her mother and her father, always using people"...Ridge I think is going to always be wary of her with Tom. Ridge really does not seem to like Hope. Taylor might side with them....if she is still on the show. Liam will just think he dodged a bullet dumping her, and he will tell her that he is worried about Hope being around Tom and that he questions Hope's judgement and her lack character in choosing he man that wanted their child dead to them, over that child.

Or maybe Thomas has changed.

Nobody changes on this show.

Best joke I've heard all day.

Thomas's did some bad things but comparing him to a woman who's attempted to or successfully murdered, intentionally or otherwise, 13 people (some more than once) over the course of 30 years is a stretch.

He is a child abuser, his own, and someone else's....that makes him a monster. I cannot imagine too many women viewers really want to see a child abuser end up with the abused child's mother as his prize. They can pair him with someone else, and he can be redeemed, but his past is not in the past, when it comes to abusing children and thinking we will accept him being with the mother of the children he abused.

Yep the man has been redeemed!!!!!
