dailies for next week (Spoilers)

It does say that Thomas lies. This whole story is so annoying. There is just no joy on this show,

I also could care less about RJ, Luna and Poppy.
I guess another week of not watching.

I really wish we would have a grand romance with people who actually had chemisty or something.

Where does it say he lies?

The fact that Steffy wants her husband to believe Thomas’ version and not Thomas’ lies says he lies! Xander has not lied!

It doesn't say he lies.

I don't see where he lied about anything. He admitted he chased after Emma. He admitted he tailgated her. He admitted he didn't call for help after the crash. He admitted to erasing his GPS. I don't think he lied about anything. He didn't say he threatened Xander and Zoe, but that's nothing compared to chasing after Emma and not calling for help.

1/19

Eric and Ridge share an emotional father-and-son moment. R.J. takes Luna to his newly rented beach house as Bill romances Poppy at the same spot.

So, it looks like Thomas still lies, and yet Hope has reservations all on her own about Thomas!

I suspect that everything that Liam said will make her think.

Maybe, but right now, it appears Thomas has changed. He was very forthright with Hope. He knew the truth would upset her and maybe drive her away. I'm surprised, but pleased for Thomas.

Well logic says she will forgive him and tell him she respects that he was honest with her. But, there are other lies he is not telling her. The letter from Caroline, the abuse of Douglas, drugging Liam, being in cahoots with Sheila. Emma was a big lie he had been telling her for 6 years, but the other things are also lies. He said he wanted no lies between them, then tell her everything.

I think she is going to say it is all OK and decide to keep going forward with him, and I think this because I think she is as Liam said to her....broken. TPTB have to know that having her just brush off Tom killing Emma is going to really put the character into the minus column with a lot of viewers. Hope will definitely lose some fans. But, I cannot see her just dumping him this coming week either. It is very evident that Hope is not in love with Tom, Liam was funny today, but there was a reason it was put in the show....he laughed and said "there it is, I can see it, I know that look Hope"...when he asked her if she was in love with Tom. Liam called her on it, and she was angry, but Liam is right, she is not in love with Tom.

The show is throwing all fan sides on this SL bones. Nopers got a big bone yesterday, Thopers think they got one today. The show had Tom in the cast photo as far away from Hope as they could get him. They put Hope next to Liam. They released the Thope photos early, then released the Lope photos that no one thought were out there. AN said at the Emmy's that there is more sex coming, but not necessarily with Tom, could be a doctor, a lawyer or someone else. AN said on the NY resolution IG that she just wants Hope to make a decision and stick to it. The scenes we are seeing now were filmed a few weeks before we saw these episodes.

1) Caroline's phony death bed letter
2) Champagne bottle label switch to compromise Brooke. He knew what Sheila did and said NOTHING.

If Thomas is going to be honest - put it all on the table - ALL OF THE UGLY that has yet to surface! The only reason he fessed up was because his back was against the wall. And - even still - his version was a bit glossed over. IMO, he didn't tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth! IMO - I hope Xander doesn't let it go

Looking forward to seeing more of Bill and Poppy.

Can’t stand Li or Steffy

I hope Finn will believe Xander instead of Thomas. Or I’ll be back to disliking him again.

Glad that Deacon and Sheila are back.

I think it's typical that a person accused of a crime like this is going to say they didn't do it. I don't see how the needle is moved on that. I really don't. Xander gave his version, Thomas gave his lie. That's a draw. Maybe things will change if someone overhears Xander and Thomas together.

Thomas said he was speeding behind her trying to catch her before she got to Hope. When asked, he said that he did not call for help. That is about the extent of his truth. But, it was true. He was chasing behind her speeding, and he did not call for help. And him saying that was bad enough. IMO. Unless Hope is functioning on just wind power in her brain, she has to put it together with the facts she now has....Emma found out Beth was alive, was leaving FC to come tell her, Tom stops her and has his hands on her and they were arguing, as Pam already told people, he then follows Emma outside, gets in his car and races down Mulholland chasing her, he speeds up, she speeds up, he admitted that today, she goes over the cliff, he does not stop to help her, he admitted that today too. Add that all together and X=Tom caused Emma's death. If Hope can be A-OK with that one, then she is a lost cause, and a character that is never worth rooting for again. JMO. I do think if they have Hope looking the other way on this one, the character will lose a lot of it's fanbase. The character will have the Thope fan base, but I just don't think that is how soaps work.

I heard Thomas say he'd chased after her, and they both had been driving fast. And at night that road could get dangerous when one drove fast -- and what was when it happened. Emma went off the road.

He said he saw it, but he hadn't caused it. A lie. Hope asked if he'd tried to help. He said no one would have survived it. He didn't say that he didn't stop or didn't stop to help. He just said no one could have survived it.

I don't know how Hope can know what "chasing" consists of unless Thomas tells her.
