@Boatchick222 posted a new topic, subject "Okay Hope, sure you didn’t mean it". It read:

   Hope actually went to bed last night. She kills someone, her stepbrother / ex husband. She takes his kid, she takes the adoption papers and she runs home to mommy. She NEVER called Ridge to tell him she had Douglas. She NEVER called 911 to see if Thomas might be alive. Her biggest concern is going to Forrester and showing her face!!! GMAB LWL. I think that speaks volumes…

After which, @Dee21gh added

    Is there another episode out? Last one I saw Hope was telling Brooke about Thomas?

So @Boatchick222 replied

    This episode from today is the next morning.

So @Lynn1216 replied

    Other countries are airing the episode. I'm guessing it will be available on the CBS app later today.

Then @stargaze said

    While the show was pre empted on CBS it did play on different channels.
    
    When you get to see it you will see how guilty Hope feels. Hope tells Brooke that she needs to go to Ridge to tell him what happened. Now we have to wait to see if she will actually do what she feels should be done or will she allow Brooke to talk her out of it. Brooke is already on the “It is not your fault, you are a good person.”
    
    If Hope was really honest with herself she would realize that Thomas has never once forced himself on her.
    
    In her recollection the time between her saying Thomas let me go to the time that she pushes him over the edge is becoming shorter and shorter. At least her story today was a little closer to what actually happened than her story from yesterday. Hope says that Thomas grabbed her but that is not what I saw. I saw Thomas holding both of her arms but he was not holding them tightly. Thomas was holding her arms the way a man might hold the woman that he loves. If Thomas had grabbed and held her with any force then she would not have been able to execute the move that she did. Hope is still playing that she is the victim and that there was no way that Thomas was going to let her go.

After which, @AbbieSue added

    I don't even care to see it. I already know how it's going to go… Hope crying and blubbering about how she didn't know, blaming everything on Thomas, how she was afraid of him…blah blah blah…the way crimes are investigated on soaps, ala keystone cops, she probably won't even get asked, if she was so afraid of him, why did she constantly go meet with him…alone…in his bedroom, even…
    
    Then, Brooke will chime in, all about how virtuous Hope is, how kind and generous, how she wouldn't hurt a fly and, as a matter of fact, she's about to be nominated for sainthood…blah blah blah…the usual Hope is the best person on the planet, bs.
    
    One does not have to watch it, to know what will happen.
    
    If either Hope or Brooke, still has a job/position at FC after the truth comes out, I'll never watch again, same thing, if Hope gets to keep Douglas.

@MyBaddMove replied

    I agree with you. Not going to even bother watching because Hope actin like a victim again is her true nature lately. She planned this whole mess to begin with and it's also her fault it escalated. Thomas still being alive is not even the point! It's not because of Hope he is doing fine now…
    
    And the longer these lies about saint Hope-less go on and on, the more viewers will bail out.

Then @RynK5366 said

    That sounds like a very accurate depiction of what's been happening. I haven't seen it yet but I'm pretty sure that's how it'll happen lol, (or LWL as everyone has been saying ).

After which, @Bigferboots added

    Ok, I'm clueless. What does LWL mean please?

@AbbieSue replied

    The one episode I'm looking forward to seeing is the one where Liam tells Hope, to her face, he's leaving…and, he's taking Beth with him, because, SHE is the one who is unstable, SHE only was thinking of herself when she grabbed the papers and fled with Douglas…then later, didn't call for help, didn't tell Thomas's family but, was able to look Douglas in the face.
    
    Liam could easily get full custody, when the truth comes out.

So @RynK5366 replied

    Apparently it means Lil Wayne Laugh. I guess he has a distinct funny laugh . I think it's amusing.

So @Bigferboots replied

    Don't think I've heard it either but LWL I guess

To which @RynK5366 replied

    I've never heard it until I saw it here. LWL

To which @jade17 replied

    Well in Friday's episode she glanced at the vat several times, so she knew what she was doing. And ITA with everything you said. Hope pushed Thomas and now she knows that it was acid and he's dead, so what was the purpose of texting him? To cover her butt in case she's investigated? LWL

Then @Boatchick222 said

    Word… LwL the Logan way…

To which @Boatchick222 replied

    No matter what, how can Brooke explain to Ridge his son is dead, her daughter killed him, and never called 911 to see if he was possibly still alive, instead, grabbed the adoption papers and Douglas and went him?

To which @AlterKiren replied

    Ik I'm not the only one that noticed that hope actually looked down and read the sign when Thomas was talking to her. I think she did it intentionally. But she thinks she's a saint so …

    Who gives two shakes what Liam does ? Hope should tell him to hitch up his skirt and hit the road. He's no prize. Let him try and take Beth and he'll really see a fight from Brooke.

Then @Barby1 said

    She's nuts they should commit her

@Soapsme replied

    Hope needs some serious help and lets guess who won't see it…mommy dearest?

@AbbieSue replied

    From Brooke? She has absolutely no say, she thinks she does, being an entitled Logan but, she doesn't…she could always show up with adoption papers, I guess, trying to force Liam to sign them.
    
    I hope, Hope does tell Liam to hit the bricks, it would be the best thing to ever happen to him.

Then @shesagem said

    Hope is no more a parent to Beth than Liam.  
    Oops…I lie. Has hope even seen Beth the last few days?  
    Liam could apply for custody, and it has 100% nothing to do with Brooke.  
    She is just the broken down she. Kitten grandmother.

Then @shesagem said

    Sex kitten.

After which, @AbbieSue added

    All Hope has been doing is, running around trying to take custody of Douglas, she never even is seen holding her daughter or, talking about her, Beth is always either sleeping or, she's with Liam. It would be so easy now, for Liam to get full custody, because of what Hope has done.

Then @Boatchick222 said

    Brooke? SHe lost custody of her kids temporarily. Brooke is not the best person to have as a reference.

Then @diamondgirl2 said

    Hey Hope's no prize either. She's a total nutcase and now she's proven that. And really??? See a fight from Brooke? I wouldn't really worry about her anymore since she has become an accessory to murder. She doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.

After which, @Big added

    I read somewhere that Steffy fires Hope, tells her to pack her stuff and get out.

After which, @diamondgirl2 added

    I have stopped watching due to the Logan bias but If that happens I would definitely tune in.

After which, @Big added

    I'm watching too!
