Rafe does NOT understand the word "no" (or "stop" or "i need a break"). Does he really think that he's gonna make Hope change her mind by forcing himself on her?

Are we honestly being expected to root for this?!

Anyway, this works fine. Honey, you look horrific.

Well, there's just too much Hope/Rafe/Andre/Aiden/Ciara today...

Rafe grabs hope. Says he loves her.
If Rafe really loved Hope, he'd stop physically grabbing her. It's really off-putting. I know Aiden's obsessed with Hope, but honestly, so is Rafe. He isn't capable of accepting Hope's decisions and being supportive. We saw it right at the start of their "relationship" when, after Rafe spontaneously decided to kiss her & tell her he loved her, she told him she wasn't ready to be in a relationship. Rafe didn't accept that Hope wasn't ready. Instead, he convinced her that she needed to give them a chance. And now, Rafe can't accept that Hope wants to take a break and, from the sounds of it, essentially badgers her into admitting that Aiden is the reason (& she probably would've said that it was Aiden even if it really wasn't, since that's the only explanation Rafe would likely accept).
This isn't how you write a love story. Yes, Aiden is the "bad guy who's obsessed with a woman who has sworn she doesn't love him any more", but Rafe really doesn't behave much better when it comes to Hope. In fact, one could make the argument that Rafe has been more physical with Hope than Aiden has - obsessed crazy man rewrite or not.
I have no love for Rafe and Hope and if they took a long visit to Downtown Europe (together or separately, I don't really care), I'd be perfectly happy. But the idea that if Rafe really loved Hope he'd just accept her saying - completely out of the blue - that they need a break is laughable. When in the history of Days has any man or woman simply accepted it without question when their love interest has - out of the blue - wanted a break? Of course he pushes her to admit the truth. It may be a truth you don't like, but the fact is SHE doesn't want to take a break. There is nothing in the writing or acting that indicates for a millisecond that Hope really wants this break and is happy because Aiden has given her a reason to get one. She's being blackmailed into it.

And it's exactly how you write a love story on Days. Hell, it worked with Bo/Hope/Larry, it worked with Steve/Kayla/Jack and those are just two off the top of my head. I don't think Bo just gave up and walked away and I know Kayla didn't.

I don't love Rafe grabbing Hope (although how it is written on Twitter and how it plays are often two different things) but the idea that Rafe has somehow treated Hope as poorly as Aiden is, again, laughable. Maybe he's been pushy (which, again, is hardly unheard of in a Days love story), but last I checked he didn't plan her murder or blackmail her into a relationship. There are plenty of crappy things about the Hope/Rafe relationship to criticize without trying to equate Rafe to Aiden.

Does Rafe really think that punching Aiden is gonna help matters? If anything, it's gonna make it easier for Aiden to get Hope. Rafe does know that he's a cop and that he's assaulting someone without provocation, right? Or does Rafe only care that (at least for the time being), he's lost his sex buddy?

Blackmailing someone to love you is crazy. Aiden is off his rocker.

Aiden says he will be with Hope and Rafe says he'll have to kill him before that happens. Aiden replied Don't tempt me.

What is the point of this one scene if we know the real Hope/Jen stuff happens later next week.

Until Rafe physically tries to murder Hope, I really don't think one could make that argument, lol.

Except that: Aiden didn't physically try to murder Hope, as much as the show keeps trying to convince us that he did.

Here is what he will do next: he will try to steal his "grandson" hoping that it will somehow fix Ben.

See? Marlena/Chad/Kate is an interaction I want to see. Let's see if the same can be said about the rest of the show.

Clearly, Jen's purpose in this story is to be the liaison between Hope & Rafe, like Alice was with Bo & Hope. lol.
