The show has found absolute lightning in a bottle with Thope. Just go with it. Stop the hem-hawing around and go with it. Their chemistry is off the charts. The insinuation of a potential Hope and Finn pairing is patently absurd. First of all Hope spent so many years in a relationship with a man that clearly dragged the character down with his boringness as evidenced by how much more vibrant and alive she is now without him. Putting her with another boring character would do Hope a great disservice. Moreover she'd being going backwards back with another man who's in love with Steffy. No thank you. Just stick with Thope.

Nah..I'm enjoying their friendship..Hope will now be focusing on Sheacon drama instead of itching for the devil..works for me! The show has way overplayed creepy, forced Thope with their lust fest..that they killed their "chemistry" imo..not to mention, Thope are so shallow and one dimentional, boring and predictable..2 seconds into their scene, down they go.:sleep :sleep

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.

I hope Bell is just teasing...I read (can watch later only) Hope described Finn as a remarkable man, a good doctor, a good listener, insightful and kind. and that Steffy is lucky to have him as her husband....if this is approximately true it sounds more like a reference letter of application for an employment than like a declaration of love...

Thope can never be a credible couple and I think even the writers who are usually clueless about history realize it. There is way too much history there. Even if Hope does forgive Thomas for everything (and I think it's perfectly plausible that that can and has happened), it is too farfetched to believe that not only would she let this man get physical with her, she would actually destroy her marriage for it. It just does not make sense. And Hope falling in love with him would make even less sense, which is why I don't think it will ever happen. And on some level Hope too knows she cannot love this man which is why she isn't budging from her current position, in spite of so much pressure from him and from her son. And why she's also not happy currently even though she should be over the moon, since she has got what she supposedly always wanted, a one woman man. The writing is on the wall for Thope. If the love hasn't happened up to now, it's not happening. JMO of course.

She certainly can be. I really don't see her and Finn together unless they just are commiserating over things and get lost for a bit. Hope won't be chasing a married man the way Steffy always does.

Hope is with Thomas. She’s allowed to have a male friend.

Hope can talk to a man and that doesn’t mean she wants to go to bed with him. I know she’s a beautiful woman but that doesn’t mean she can’t speak to a man or they’re going to jump in bed together.

No couple lasts on this show, and BB has stated thet Hope and Thomas would never be a romantic couple. OF course, he might have changed his mind. The show is pretty boring right now. If Steffy goes back to Liam, then Hope is about all that's left for Finn. The cast is way too small.

Seems to me, they sure are taking a long detour to an eventual Lope reunion. Were the papers ever filed? I don't even think the show mentioned it. Weird.

I also think this is a long detour to Lope again. This does seem to be shaping up to Hope thinking Finn might be the man that is worthy of her and they have a ONS. And Liam wanting Steffy and she almost goes there, but then does not because she loves Finn more. I am starting to think this is all being done to have Finn and Hope get off their high horses about Liam and Steffy, and to be brought down to Earth and put into positions where they can now understand how sometimes things just happen between 2 people who are hurt by the people they love. We know that Hope never really forgave Liam for the ONS years ago....she has been harboring resentment and not dealing with it, and it led her to cheat on Liam by lusting after Tom....in many ways Tom was to Liam, what Steffy is to Hope. The one person that hurt beyond belief. Finn has directed his resentment for the ONS on Liam, not dealing with the one he should have been angry with, which was Steffy. Liam was not dating Finn, Steffy was dating him. If Finn has a ONS with Hope, he will have some understanding of how these things can happen. Hope will have hurt Liam by making out with Thomas, and hurt Tom by having sex with him without having real feelings for him, and she will have done to Steffy, what she feels Steffy did to her. Hope may finally realize she got her revenge on everyone that hurt her, and then the shame may come at realizing how many people she hurt because she just could not tell Liam the truth, that she never really forgave him. In the end I do think Sinn will survive, and all the truth will be out....and I do think Steffy will be angry, but I also think she will forgive, because he forgave her. Liam will be left alone, Hope will be left alone and they will gravitate back to each other....and it will have been...much ado about nothing. JMO

Not sure Thope is ruined yet...but it seems to be fading away at this point. And, MA is going to be MIA for a few weeks of the show, if what I am reading elsewhere is true. Hope does seem a bit interested in finding out more about Finn...and it does seem they are going to be in each others orbit a little more. Liam has been missing since the conversation with Finn when he brought over the stuffed toy. The shift is now on Sheacon and their kids, along with Eric's sickness and Luna and RJ. But, this does not mean Thope is done yet....unfortunately. It could just be a bone thrown to us that loathe them together. LOL

That is the issue....Hope is not "with" Thomas at all, and she has made that clear to him and us. LOL. Being "with" Thomas would mean they are actually having a relationship...which they are not. Per her rules of engagement, they are having sex, and nothing more. She so far wants nothing more from him than sex and for him to draw the fairly princess dresses for HFTF...oh and she wants him to slobber praise all over her about how she is the only woman he ever has thought about in his life, and she is perfect, and she is beautiful, and she basically walks on water. IMO Tom does not get much of a return on his obsession investment of the last 10 years. He gets sex, but he can get sex from a lot of different women, he does not need Hope for sex only. Hope is like a slot machine that Tom keeps pouring money into, he gets little wins, but his chances of hitting the jackpot top prize is about one in 10 million and that is making maximum bets....or in Tom's case, following all of Hope's rules and regulations.

I'm not gonna jump the gun and speculate a ONS and who's hurting who lol. All I know is the main couples on this show will always reunite..won't matter if it's a short route or a long detour..I think in the end, it'll be Lope and Sinn just like Bridge reunited too and are back to being happy. I do agree that it will have been much ado about nothing. LOL.
