Time for Hope to choose! (Spoilers)

I’m labeling this a spoiler for those who haven’t seen today’s episode. I am a Hope fan, but I don’t like her continuing in a relationship when she knows Thomas believes they have a future, Taylor confirmed it today. Hope is being reckless with both Thomas and Douglas’s feelings if she doesn’t choose. Be a grown up Hope, and a mom, and decide. If you want Thomas don’t back down, if you’re not sure you ever will back away. It’s time to get off the fence or outa the bed and choose! The stakes are too high to continue having fun only.

But that's what this new Hope the modern woman wants to be....a reckless fool itchy all the time..she thinks what she's been doing is great. Her morals/principles have been out the window for months now..she couldn't careless about right from wrong. She's following her heart lol..and her heart wants LUST fest only.

And in this way she is nothing like her mother. Brooke never just had random sex just to scratch itches. She always felt deeply for any guy she was with sexually and wanted a future with him. Hope has just lost her damn mind.

She has lost her damn mind since her very first creepy fantasy!

To the point today, Hope appeared annoyed that she was interrupted in the office today by Taylor.

Yep. Sadly not the Hope I used to love..this Hope has lost her damn mind.

I don’t think she’s that far gone I think she is afraid of the backlash if she chooses to be with Thomas.

Hope’s not afraid of anything. She doesn’t want to be with Thomas in a real relationship. She keeps saying that. That’s what the writers want us to see and hear over and over again.

I don't see this new Hope the modern woman is afraid of the backlash at all. She does exactly what she wants! She ain't shy expressing what she wants..and she wants sex only with NO future with Thomas..she's made it abundantly clear imo.

Well, after hearing her put Taylor in her place today....I think the excuse of "Hope is afraid of the backlash for loving Tom" is completely out the window. She ain't afraid of Taylor, Ridge or her mother.....but she is afraid Liam will find out...and that says it all. IMO. She has already said to Brooke that she does not see any point in Liam finding out about her and Tom....why not?

I agree. Now that Taylor has made it known that there are expectations, Hope should be smart enough to know Thomas will get hurt if she walks away. Whether he can "handle" getting hurt is one problem. The other problem is her not even regarding how it will hurt business and Douglas. She is being selfish. Their lives are too intertwined to be reckless.

If she truly cares for Thomas as her work partner and co-parent, I don't get why she'd run the risk of hurting him so bad. Yeah. maybe he can manage the hurt and they can go on without issue, but the hurt will still be inflicted. I just don't get hurting him that way.

It kind of goes back to what Liam said to Hope when she offered to return to the marriage and manage his feelings for Steffy. He said no, because it would always be there for her just like Thomas would always be there for Liam. So Hope should think about that and care enough about Thomas to spare him the pain. But really, it's too late.

Yes, I know many don’t think Thomas deserves that, but if Hope truly believes he’s changed she should care enough about him as a person , business partner and father of Douglas to choose. She f she’s the good person I still believe she is she will do that.

Yes, and if so, that might be when his obsessiveness kicks in.

Maybe we all have it wrong, and Hope is really just getting even with Tom....now that would be some juicy soapy stuff. Hope getting even with Tom for hiding her child from her, for harming her husband, for hurting her mother.....maybe Hope knows exactly what she is doing....and maybe it all got set in motion when Steffy forced her to take Tom back with HFTF or she would shut it all down. Could be Hope sees this as a way to get revenge on the whole Hamilton Gang in one fells swoop. LOL

That thought did very briefly cross my mind too. But what a way to get even! She has basically destroyed her whole married life.

Thats what I have been thinking for awhile. I have been rewatching since Taylor told her kids to find the love and the next thing you know Tom is cured and ready for HTTF.

Riding him for months like a bucking bronco at his house and in the office. How is that revenge? lol It only makes her look bad IMO.

What’s the rush she don’t have to jump into something right away nothing wrong with single

Absolutely nothing wrong with being single, but Thomas see’s them as having a future and not f she doesn’t, it’s time to tell him.

She HAS told him.

She has told him, but I think it's time for her to see that he isn't hearing her and has his own ideas -- as does Douglas. And she needs to break it off. Probably too late, but yeah.

I don’t know if it’s a choice or just a decision. But if she knows she is not ready to move forward with Thomas (which she isn’t ) then she needs to leave him again. She knows how he feels about her since he tells her a lot and she’s asking him to tell her.

She clearly loves having sex with Thomas, but if that’s all it will be - she should walk away because he clearly won’t. The impact is not just him but Douglas also. She’s not responsible for Thomas’s feelings but Douglas is her son and she has some responsibility there.

Thomas is being optimistic but she’s been very honest with him. If he’s interpreting her through rose colored glasses .

Thomas is accountable for Thomas' ignorance to the facts Hope is flat out telling him. He is also accountable for his son. This is not all on Hope at all.

I do agree he is accountable for Douglas also but they are both accountable for Douglas since Hope is Douglas's mother. They're his parents.

She needs to choose at this point, Thomas or s someone she has to keep a relationship with because of Douglas.

I think Hope is beyond the point where someone can have plausible deniability. She knows Thomas is in love with her. She knows her child wants them together, and at this point, she can't keep saying "we're on the same page." Unless she is in love with Thomas, they are not on the same page.

I think she is leading him on now that she has been told he wants a future with her.

Great post, but I don't think trampy Hope is going to walk away from the nonstop sex anytime soon. I've always thought she was a selfish twit and her actions confirm it IMO. Can't stand her. Mommy Hope is a nympho.

Well as I said I’m a Hope fan, so I want her to decide and stand by whatever she decides.

and i think she has decided to put herself first: good for her!
