The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

Loved seeing Hope smile today, great episode with the veterans

Liam has some thinking to do, he needs to decided whether he commits to his marriage or ends it, either way he needs to stop running to Hope.

Castiel there are always threads asking us to explain our choice of favorites and we all have different reason for liking them and we are all entitled to our opinions so I don't see why anyone should have to explain, it is reel TV and it is suppose be like a Calgon moment, you know just take us away from real life for a while and lets have some fun & entertainment, nothing to do with our real lives

I love Hope because she is trying to respect Liam's and Steffy's marriage, even though it is breaking her heart. She is not out to steal Liam back. I have to admit, I liked her and Thomas together today. I never thought I would say that. I see a giving side to Thomas that goes well with Hope. Let Liam have Steffy.

I wish TPTB hadn't ruined Oliver. He was a cutie.

I agree I wish they hadn't ruined the Oliver character, just like they are ruining the Liam character seems they just can't leave well enough alone. I liked Liam & Hope two very sweet young kids in love. The writers just have to mess with the SLs to the point of no return for some of these characters.

It's too bad Hope has so many "haters" for being a normal young lady, complete with the emotional ups and downs she has had dealing with Liam AND complete with being influenced by her parents and letting them turn her almost wedding into a media campaign and yes, even complete with the conflict over her virginity and whether she should wait or give it up to Liam. ALL normal for late adolescence. Her actions probably are the most realistic of reel tv. Now, this thing with Thomas--I've got mixed emotions about. Even Hope found it kinda weird that he kissed her(again cudos to Hope for being a normal, realistic character). My beef with Thomas is that the exact SAME "inspiration" and "changed man because of you" mess he is saying to Hope--he did just say this to Dayzee not too long ago, did he not? And my only concern is that his insecure, conniving sister (who now all of a sudden likes Hope, just not with Liam-yeah, right) will pull him into her plans to keep Hope and Liam apart as she has already begun to do. I just need Thomas to NOT listen to Steffy, NOT put Hope on a pedestal, and find his own internal inspiration for being a better man. And if he likes Hope, just like her cause she's cute and nice, like most boys would NOT because she is some Hope for the Future. My fear is that he is in love with her image--like he was in love with Dayzee's inspiring image--and not with Hope. All that said, I'm not sure how I feel about Hope and Thomas both calling Ridge dad, but that is another issue altogether.

Poor Hope being jerked around either by the manipulative Forrester spawns or by her ex-fiance who can't seem to stick to a plan. He's such a moron- ya think pimpdaddy is happy for him now? I wish Thomas would stay in the basement

Hope is a smart young lady and hopefully she will see through both Liam & Thomas. Liam seems to be having second thoughts, but he also seems to be having commitment issues. He needs to man up and decide one way or the other. Thomas on the other hand not too sure what his intentions are, does he really love hope or is he using her to get out of the basement and help his sister at the same time? Hope just needs to walk away from both of them and get on with her life.

I love the way Hope told Liam that they are not friends and their old relationship does not exist any more. He is so clueless about how much he hurt her. She maybe the youngest, but she sure is the mature and strong one in this triangle!
