It’s All Happening So Fast
Just a few weeks ago, Hope (Annika Noelle) was engaged to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor). The two called off their engagement. It was a mutual decision; however, Carter was the one who ultimately made the decision. He noticed that Hope still had feelings for Liam (Scott Clifton).
He let her go by removing his engagement ring from her finger. Now, Hope was a free agent who could explore the next chapter in her life. But she wanted to stay single… At least for a minute.
She told Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Deacon (Sean Kanan) that she wanted to recollect her thoughts before jumping into another relationship. But Liam had different plans.
He wanted to surprise Hope with a proposal. Surprisingly, she said yes, despite being engaged to Carter just weeks ago. Now, it seems like the two are on a fast track to get married as soon as possible (Hope and Liam reunite. What’s next for the B&B couple? ). However, that could all come screeching to a halt if Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) has anything to do with it.
Will Thomas Return to Shake Up Lope?
Last week, it was reported that Thomas is returning to Los Angeles. The timing couldn’t be any more interesting for Hope and Liam’s wedding.
New Executive Producer Casey Kasprzyk dropped a photo of Atkinson on the set of the series with the caption, “This week.” B&B fans are hoping that Thomas and Hope will cross paths again.
His previous return was far from epic. Thomas slammed Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) for choosing Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) over Taylor (Rebecca Budig). Then, he put his hands on Brooke, blaming her for breaking up his family.
Ridge talked some sense into Thomas, who realized he wasn’t acting like himself. He gave his blessings to the newly reunited couple and returned to Paris. B&B fans were disappointed that he never ran into Hope, and he hasn’t been seen since.
Lope’s reunion has a glaring problem: they never talked about what led to their marital problems in the past. Hope was attracted to Thomas, which led her to cheat on Liam. Meanwhile, Liam never fully moved on from Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).
Hope won’t be able to resist Thomas if they end up in the same room together. She might realize that she never stopped loving him and had gotten a little lost after he left. We know these two characters have incredible chemistry. Who knows what will happen if they start spending time together again?
