Finn...

🥰🫠 - that was me watching Thomas/Hope today. 😀.. just love em with all their baggage. even that pesky voice that kept saying “she was married” didn’t bother me too much lol If people had such issues with Sheila at Il Giardino why didn’t they just eat somewhere else??? Liam - I’m not going to lie, I appreciate the support he’s showing Steffy. On the other hand he’s just so …lil pukey.. the show is making it very clear Steffy isn’t interested 🤔 I’m in the mood for Italian for dinner lol

Absolutely loved them today. Hope is very playful with Thomas and she’s happy. I know there wasn’t any movement in their story but I just love watching them on screen they have the spark. They have progressed, molasses paced but they’re in a relationship now and it’s obvious Hope loves him. I would love an outside date but not even the beloved Runa or Bridge has gotten that, I am assuming that’s more about budget than anything else. I also think the ILY is coming soon, enough time has passed Hope is no longer asking Thomas to assure her she is the only one, she’s openly with him, she’s doesn’t look uncomfortable anymore when he talks about love. Before she would look away or correct him. AN is doing a great job with the body language. If she had said it last year it would’ve been too soon after her divorce. I am also enjoying their conversations, they are talking like adults, loved when Hope opened up about her relationship with Deacon and now they’re discussing Sinn on which they disagree. Thomas listens and doesn’t tell her how to feel. I think Hope is at her most honest with Thomas. Sinn had their turn discussing all things Thope and we all know Steffy has stuck her nose in Hope’s relationships so turnabout is fair play. I don’t think anything will happen with Finn, she’s literally the only neutral party he can talk to without being told to get over it. He certainly can’t talk to Li and the Runa crowd is out, he doesn’t know Zende. Side effect of a small cast who has no friends. Is Aurora real or made up ? I’m assuming that they couldn’t say Alexa??

So you all know I love me some Thope. But today when Thomas talked about the impact of Rome and how grateful he is, all I could think was “😬😬 Hope was cheating and ended up blowing her life and family with Liam apart “ Not that I mind, but let’s not ignore that aspect of Rome.

Doth my eyes deceive me ? Was Ser Thomas allowed to show *gasp* strong emotions in today’s episode and disagree with the fair maiden Princess Hopeth.. Verily I say onto B&B - giveth Ser Thomas his balls back.

I love the animated series and was hoping this would go well. I was pleasantly surprised. Really enjoyed episode 1. I liked that they had the air nomads and the genocide which just made you realize how evil Sozin was. I also wondered about their plan to kill the avatar because the water tribe avatar would just take that person’s place so I didn’t understand why they wanted to kill vs just capture.

Liam committing to one woman would be different indeed - he basically said he was not a one woman man. They need to bring in a new woman for him and let him realize that Steffy/Hope and him have too much water under the bridge and move on. THE supercouples of the show are supposed to be Bridge and Lope I think , however the current versions lacks any type of spark, say what you want about RM's stiff acting but he and KKL sparkled together. Bridge 2.0 is milquetoast and Lope 2.0 is yawn inducing. They should have the balls to break up Bridge permanently and go with Tridge since TK had better chemistry with KA - I am saying this as a former Bridge fan who hated Tridge. Same with Lope v2.0, it didn't work - don't revisit, make the breakup permanent. Have Lope as adversaries - given them non-romantic dramatic storylines, this is where the actors shine with one another. Breacon we never revisited so it's not an odd concept for the show. They need to get rid of all the chemistry less couples and pair people based on where the chemistry lies, don't bring in someone with a preset pairing (aka Luna), have that person interact with the cast and see where the chemistry lies and then go with that story. They brought Luna on for RJ, it's not working break them up and move on. The only chem test I heard of was AN/MA and we know what happened with evil Thomas. Knowing they had that chemistry, Thomas shouldn't have done all the evil deeds. SC/JMW work well as a romantic pairing but they killed that with terrible writing, luckily they also work well as friends. I like SINN but they don't really have that spark. Bring is some friends for these people, have a rival fashion house - we need an equivalent of Spectra's. Commit to a signature couple and give them angst that doesn't involve cheating. More business storylines and less sex. Those office couches must need a deep clean and fumigation on the regular. I do understand that chemistry is subjective so my opinion may differ from others.

I agree about Liam, he is doing well this way - being a bit of an a-hole. They need to let his character evolve, waffling can only get you so far. I was happy he was off screen but now I find myself enjoying his scenes. I still don't want him with Steffy after knee begging gate. So Kelly is with Liam and Hayes is with Li/Brooke - is it wise to split the kids up? Would be nice to see the conversation with the kids about why they're not home, add some more depth to the story.

Poppy really - Luna is going to lose the happiness she found with RJ forEVA! Luna is what 19 - PUHLEEZE ...She will move on..

Well Poppy/Zende (Zoppy/Popde) seem to have chemistry that’s surely lacking from Runa. Thomas is a patient man, he’s been telling Hope he loves her for years Hope went from “it will never happen” to banging him every chance she gets. He’s good lol. He just needs to wait a few more years. Speaking of Thomas, anyone notice how the Thomas spoilers have not been panning out. Wasn’t Xander supposed to wreak havoc on him but he just disappeared. They didn’t even have a scene together. Also, this week we were supposed to get Thomas being surprised at how close Hope and Finn were, but we get him telling Hope how caring she is and that he loved that about her. Also, based on numerous spoilers dating back to last year, Thomas should’ve turned dark 10x over already but they all were a nothing burger. I keep going back to the proposal , he came across a bit delusional, and he looked annoyed that she did not say yes, and she had an “oh shit “look on her face. Now it’s like that never happened??? I have this image in my head of a bunch of monkeys, furiously typing away generating storylines Speaking of RJ, I’m a terrible person. Someone online referred to him as a “ Minotaur looking boy” and boy did I laugh and now I can’t get it out of my head when I see him. Liberty biberty! Just cuz :)

I think she is very much alive but it may be weeks or months (next year??) before we (the audience) finds out. Hope has over-stepped and then some... Also can we discuss RJ being shirtless - if it's between that and the grandpa sweater I will take the itchy looking sweater.

You just know Liam is somewhere rubbing his hands in glee right now!! Oh Waffles... and Hope - learn to read a room, the last time you "comforted" Steffy's husband....👀

I think Steffy was looking for comfort when she went to kiss Finn. A comfort kiss not a boom chicka wow wow kiss.

Steffy …

OR it's been Sugar all this time not the real Sheila and it's Sugar who cut off her toe. The real Sheila will pop up?/ OY - my head hurts...😣..make it make sense...

I think Sugar is the one that died too. They need to check the toe count.. Sheila will pop back up lurking..

With the way Hope is stuck on Thomas's "magic stick", I am curious to see the pretzels the writers will twist themselves into to sell Hope sleeping with Finn if it does happen...🤔 I mean the woman velcro's herself to Thomas's side whenever she gets the chance..

I’m sorry Steffy needs to throw Finn away. I’m not even a Steffy fan like that but I’m annoyed on her behalf.

If Liam thought that Sheila was at Steffy's, WHY didn't he just go there instead of chatting with Deacon. Lord knows he pops us there with stuffed animals all the time..

Kelly is one forgetful little girl lol

Just to poke some fun at my fav couple. As I was watching on Friday I kept thinking Does Thomas shed or have dandruff? I feel like Hope is constantly brushing off his shoulder or sleeves 🤔

Separately I would love for some Steam flashbacks from Steffy..you know 1. Liam telling her "I hate you" 2. Crawling on the ground begging 3. Catching Liam and Hope about to have sex after giving birth to Kelly 4. Liam forgetting Kelly existed while he made his new home with Hope 5. Crying alone while pregnant... 6. Brooke telling her that Liam will have to focus on his new family etc..etc..etc.. You know the highlights...

The bonus scenes which don't air in the USA have Thomas stating that he is continuing to see a therapist, this was one from a last year pre-Rome and in another with Ridge post-Rome Thomas said that he is utilizing techniques he learned in therapy to stay on track. Now we can discount those scenes since they didn't air in the USA but they air internationally. Since I watch the I count them as part of the show. The bonus scenes usually are pretty good and seem to add to the show not just the Thomas/Hope ones but also other characters. I don't know how they choose what to cut but I would much prefer to watch those compared to repetitive scenes and dialogue.

Honestly I wouldn't have minded if Thomas has said that people have said the same about him just for the self reflection part. Thomas has also been needled and poked, no one has punched him in the face but Finn straight up told him he is a bad person and he overheard Finn badmouthing him to Hope, how many times has he been harassed by Brooke. Steffy is telling him how Hope doesn't love him. Yet he has not regressed, as stated above he has gotten therapy and while we don't see the bonus scenes that air outside USA based on those he is still in therapy and utilizing techniques (whatever that is lol) to stay on track. He also did his apology tour. Sheila is literally a career criminal who Steffy should have left alone. I do believe people can change and even if Sheila did change Steffy and Finn have the right to never give her the time of day. Just as Liam and Brooke has the right to never give Thomas the time of day. If anyone is interested Thomas/Hope Bonus Scene 2.23.24

Today was the first time in a long time I didn't ffwd the show. Loved Hope and Thomas, she opened up about the relationship with Deacon, they really should explore the insecurities that left behind in addition to Liam and his continued love for Steffy. Thomas was great support staff, he didn't say much but it was nice to see them talking and connecting outside of sex. They act very much like a couple, Hope/AN is very tactile in those scenes. In my eyes, Thomas and Sheila are different, when Thomas ties his mom to a chair and then set her house of fire or shoots Douglas and is wife ..maybe...Remember Sheila threatening baby Thomas, telling Stephanie that Thomas wouldn't live to see his first birthday if Stephanie didn't do as Sheila wanted. Sheila, Sheila, Sheila - give KB the material and she delivers. I am looking forward to what she does next. That ending was great and her emotions over Steffy's continued harassment. Finn WTF? The woman kept you captive and she SHOT you!! He just has that dumb look on his face. ..Steffy should have left her the hell alone but I will never sympathize with Sheila. She shot FInn AND Steffy and left them to die. If I were Steffy I would just move out of LA with or without Finn.
