I know viewing is pretty subjective but today Hope gave some strong signals. She is rattled by Thomas's revelations but in speaking with Brooke once again she defended Thomas and praised him. She told Brooke she is not ending it with Thomas and even hinted there may be more to their relationship.

Either Bell is setting up a huge fall for Hope and the destruction of this relationship or this hurdle is the test that propels Hope even closer to Thomas.

I have learned not to think I know what is coming but it doesn't seem to be doom and gloom at this point.

At this point Hope needs psychological help. She's unhinged and illogical. She is going to harm herself and her family because she wants to repair her ego. Even as a Hope fan I have little sympathy for her in this SL.

Yes. I was surprised at how she defended him to Brooke today and implored her to accept her relationship with Thomas. She even put Brooke on notice about what their future might be.

My take away was when Brooke said, "What's wrong with you? You aren't acting like yourself." Hope was acting just as unhinged as she did the night she found Brooke alone with Ridge in lingerie. And it's because Hope is BACK to fighting her feelings. This time, though, she's going the opposite direction -- away from Thomas.

The writing is interesting in that respect because when she was fighting her feelings for Thomas, she acted like this, and now she's gonna be fighting not to let go of her "Unconditional love man," so she's acting the same way. She's found something "perfect" for her and she's fighting letting her morals and conscience ruin it.

Because she’s delusional..in total denial right now. I think deep down, she’s slowly starting to think that Brooke and Liam were right, but she’s too stubborn admit it to herself..that’s why she’s still fighting Brooke and rebelling. Thope ain’t gonna end well..because they’ve already been happy having their lust fest for so long, so there’s only one way to go for them and that is implosion. IMO.

Maybe a custody fight for Beth should she decide to marry the jerk. The dirt will all come out. A lot of people would have to lie in court defending the new Saint. Couldn’t happen to a better person either. This Hope is an unfortunate excuse for a mother.

Yeah. nothing matters to Hope but that she have undivided devotion. That's what I'm hearing and it's gross.

Yep. Exactly this. Too proud to admit she was wrong. Plus she has too much to lose now if she admits she was wrong. She'll have to also admit how far she fell. I predict a major downfall for Hope when realization finally hits her.

That's exactly what it is. She fought and rebelled so she could screw Thomas and now she's gonna fight and rebel her way back to sanity.

If not, there has been no point at all to this SL.

Probably not the final one, lol. But to be fair they haven't really been in a relationship before. And I think most of us know that creativity is pretty much a foreign concept on this soap.

No, it won't. They never stop re-running. This is the formula with Thope. It's the Coyote and the Roadrunner.

Except, this latest Emma death revisit ain't over yet. Hope still can't and won't say she loves Thomas..she ain't exactly jumping his bone today either..nor has she accepted his proposal wearing the ring on her finger or planning a wedding date either. LOL.

I wouldn't be so sure. She's being defiant in front of Brooke but Hope is very, very deeply affected by the news Thomas gave her. Now it remains to be seen. Will her defiance win or her common sense? If her defiance wins then Thope is doomed because she's just going to be with him to thumb her nose at Brooke. If common sense wins, Thope is still doomed. So either way, Thope will crash and burn. I'm certain of it.

Hope needs to be right. ITA - she is being defiant because she is thumbing her nose at Brooke, and even Liam. They see Thomas as clear as day for the snake that he is, and she is blinded by his obsession. She will find it very difficult to admit she was wrong and they were right. She's stuck the poor dear. Well - at least the sex is good. Please let Emma start haunting her.

It is subjective, and she was giving off strong signals in the other way. She's started to reel and act confused again just like when she was fighting her attraction to Thomas. That's what I see. It reminds me of all her doubletalk gaslighting about the bad boy and trying to fight being like Brooke.

Now she's gonna fight against losing the security of the devotion Thomas gives her. It's just what Liam and Brooke keep saying. Hope won't be able to reconcile being with Thomas.

My gosh, even with all that yelling at Brooke, which she always does to deflect attention from herself, she still can't manage an "I love him."

I think a lot of people blurt out the truth and realization to other people first. It's natural. And she didn't even stammer as if she were about to say it but wanted to "save" it. In my view, the truth waits for no utterance.
