As someone who isn't mad at either Hope or Bo in this story, I just try to wrap my head around why people are SOOOOOOOO mad at Hope alone right now for what has happened and I just don't get it.

And I am someone who was 100 percent on Bo's side during the post-Zack saga and thought Hope was shrewish then so I just feel like I am watching a whole different show from some people now who are sooooo mad at her. I just don't get it.

Yeah, it was dumb and selfish for her to move out the way he did but given the way Bo is with refusing to talk about feelings and keeping his own secrets I can see how Hope would feel like her only option is just to get some space and physical distance between them for the time being so it's easier for them to work things out without annoying each other. And both Bo and Hope went through a very traumatic ordeal with Ciara's kidnapping. Why is she not allowed to react imperfectly to that stressful situation? I mean it's not like Hope is so dead certain she is right about everything the way Bo is. From the get-go since she's moved out there's been tons of scenes with her talking to Justin or Victor or whoever about how she's wondering if she's doing the right thing and how she still loves Bo and wishes things could work. Yet because Hope maybe made a mistake this one time she deserves to lose Bo forever because of it? What?

And even if Bo is in hero mode and there's something valiant and romantic about the way he is with Carly, it is still dumb and selfish for him to keep Carly in their house and Hope pointing that out doesn't make her bitch. It makes her realistic. Bo could have hid Carly at the Pub or somewhere else very easily. But he was adamant even when Carly said she wanted to go that he wanted to keep Carly in their house and that has brought danger and turmoil into their home. Hope has a right to be mad.

Oh well. I guess I will just go on enjoying the story and as a fan of Bo and Hope and Bo and Carly I can't really lose.

What am I missing here? What secret was Bo keeping about the kidnapping that made Hope so angry? Hope was angry because Bo stopped her from paying the ransom after he saw Ciara shot. He told her why....because of the vision. He only did not tell Hope about one vision. That caused her to leave him. Maybe he was wrong to not tell her but, I don't know, maybe someone who has visions could explain their feelings as to why it isn't an embarrassment to even deal with them yourself, let alone deal with them after someone essentially laughs at you, or tells you they're not real, which is what Hope basically told Bo after he told her about vision of Zach helping him find Theo.

But the kidnapping? After Ciara was safe, he reached out, she threw him out of their bedroom.
She wanted to pay Dean a reward. He disagreed and she went ahead. She blamed him for the violence in the house and he offered to do anything....go on vacation with them; sell the house; go to counseling.

Hope has rejected Bo emotionally, blamed him, 100%. And left him. As he said, if he had not walked in on Justin helping her move, he would have known after the fact.

So sorry, it's not even here. Not even a little bit. And it's not new. Hope blames Bo for everything and always has. Bo takes the blame for everything and always has. He crawls back to her, does some elaborate romantic thing for her; and the pattern starts again. It's time for this unhealthy one sided love to end. When someone is angry because their spouse moved on because they were "dead" instead of being miserable and suffering like they hoped, where is the love?

I never once saw Hope LAUGH at Bo because of his visions....so if you tell me which episode that was, I would appreciate it. The only one where she told him it was ridiculous was the one of her in bed with another man...which NEVER happened. Bo was frantic that she was going to sleep with Roman just because he saw it in the vision.

Bo wasn't keeping secrets during Ciara's kidnapping...but he is keeping them now....

Hope didn't throw Bo out of their bedroom after the kidnapping. He said he was going to sleep in the guest room and she agreed it was a good idea. She never said "I want you out of our bedroom" or anything to that effect.

I also don't think she's angry that he found love again when she was thought to be dead. But come on, why is it wrong for her to admit that it hurts her a little that he can do just fine without her? In theory, it makes perfect sense to want your spouse to move on and be happy if you should die. But in reality, its not like you want to actually be around to live it and watch it happen in front of you OR come back to find out about it....hence the being dead part. Again, she is just being honest about her feelings. It basically seems like Hope just needs to sit there and keep her mouth shut and never talk about how she feels...that seems to be the only way she could make it through this storyline without getting bashed from here to next week.

OK are we playing "real life' or soap life. Seems to me when it's about Hope, her feelings should count as if it is real. If it's about Bo, it's only a soap. In real life, if your spouse, a loved one, had a head injury and then started having "visions" of the future, what would one really do? In my view, it's a no brainer.....one would be concerned about brain tumors, mental health, illness, etc. One would not be having hissy fits because on one hand that person did not tell you about them, or the other hadn, did tell you about them.
In real life, someone "dies" and hopefully you move on.....if you really love them, you WANT them to be happy. You don't get upset that they actually might love again. How would one react to come back from the dead and find their wishes for their beloved was happening? I don't know.

And yes, clearly Hope threw him out of their bed. Bo tries to touch the woman, have a family hug when their daughter is saved, and she acts like he's a leper and being touched by him sickens her. Just because Bo volunteered to leave their room rather than be rejected yet another time by Hope, does not mean she did not thrown him out of the bed.

I am sick of Hope treating Bo like he only has any value when another woman might show some interest. She did not give a damn whether he was eating alone, feeling bad, taking care of himself, until she found out about Carly. Oh wait, she did. She was wishing he was miserable and lonely. Explain again what Bo's misery has to do with Hope trying to deal with her problems? Seems to me, typical of Hope, she wanted to punish Bo.
In the meantime she had Justin to take care of her, console her, be a friend, make sure she and Ciara were safe and warm and that was fine.
Finally, how the h*ll can Hope sit there and listen to Vic spout off cr*p like "Did Bo threaten you?" and not go ballistic???
Instead of her calm, "No, nothing like that" it would have been nice for Hope to rise above her own pettiness and let Vic know that was an inappropriate question, as Bo would never, has never threatened Hope in any way shape or form.
Instead, Hope allows Vic to trash Bo in front of her.

Hope has gotten a pass for years and years for her selfish, self centered behavior. Maybe people are finally fed up with her blaming Bo for anything and everything. Maybe finally getting a chance to trash Hope is bringing out people who had to watch the show make Hope like Marlena, the constant victim saint, while only allowing Bo one purpose....worship and save Hope in every story. Bo, as a character deserves better than being a prop for Hope. Seeing him with Carly reminds me again what a refreshing change it was to see Bo in a relationship where he was treated as an equal.

This is going to make me hate Hope even more. For weeks now she has been accusing Bo of placing their family in danger. Now, when Bo refuses to let Hope and Ciara come back home while Carly is there, she gets upset. Hope wants to have her cake and eat it too.

I knew Victor would turn out to be the one that turned Carly in. Love that!

Well in this case, Bo IS putting their family in danger, which is why he won't let them come home. I think she is probably going to be more peeved about the fact that Bo has put them in this situation...not so much that he won't let her come home.

I am proud of Bo for standing up to the shrew and I say let her go find her comfort in the arms of Justin while Bo finds the comfort he needs in the arms of his ex fiance'.

Well people can bash Hope til the cows come home, but that doesn't mean that Bo and Carly will get together. Unfortunately for the Carly/Bo lovers, Bo and the "shrew" as you so lovingly call her, are going to end up together. Might be a hard pill to swallow, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles!

You might be right...however, this is a soap and the s/l is always changing...specially when the people in the s/l really work great together and is bringing lots of noise...
You guys rather have your characters together as supporter roles instead of giving them other opportunities... Okay let see what sell...HOT and Sexy or OLD and Boring... IMO these actors all of them are having the time of their lives in this s/l...you can see it in the performance...And that is what we as fan should concentrate our favorite actor is doing a great job..not to focus on THE ENDGAME....TO ME DOOL is not going to be cancel why talk about the ENDGAME...who cares about it.. We need to focus in good s/l that will keep the show going not boring stuff.

Well to me Bo and Hope are not old and boring. And I know there are a lot of other fans out there who agree with me on this.

And of course as a Bo and Hope fan, I welcome a front burner storyline for them, and even one with conflict. Obviously I want to see them front and center and not used a props to support other characters. I have no problem with this storyline and never said I did. I simply said that I want to see Bo and Hope together in the end. I don't mind seeing them break up, etc. But I would like to see them end up together and not just because they are a "supercouple" or because they are "endgame." The labels don't really matter to me, I just happen to think they are the best soap couple ever. I enjoy watching them together...I think they have amazing chemistry together and have a connection that could never be matched if they were paired with other people.

We all have our favorites and different opinions, but I choose to focus on my support for Bo and Hope...and I don't need to put down Bo and Carly to do that.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING THAT! :cheer: Everyone has the right to free speech but why does the "bashing" and that is what it is towards the character of Hope has to hit such a NASTY tone all the time! :redface: I am not a Bo & Carly fan. I am a Bo & Hope fan! :rockon: When it comes to responding to a negative comments about Bope, Hope or Bo, I do answer but never with some of the below the belt comments that I have noticed with some in this thread! If you are a Bo & Carly supporter, great for you! :wave: I respect that! My question to those people who basically have chosen to hate on the couple of Bope or the individual characters of Bo or Hope is.....when this couple does reunite, and they will, can we start to tone down the words!

I am choosing to be thankful for all the actors involved in this story as they have been given a chance to be part of a frontburnner storyline in a time when vets are being let go, or basically left to a recurring role! I'm sure some posters will choose to just hate on the character of Hope or the couple of Bope regardless, because they believe what they choose to believe about Hope and her relationship Bo! That's there issue. Peter and Kristian have said in numerous article both together and individually that they love working together and they believe their characters are soulmates! Some may not like that, but you can go on google and research their interviews! Even though I am not a huge fan of Carly, I think Crystal is a wonderful actress and I am open minded to seeing where this character is going! I am actually looking forward to seeing her interaction with Hope, Vivian and Victor! I am refusing to be closed minded on the possibility of this character as opposed to those who have done so with either Bope or the character of Hope And I am going to try my best to not to resort to some of the mean-spirited name calling that some posters have chosen to do with this couple or with either Hope or to a lesser extent Bo! However, that is just my opinion! :wave:

You all realize that these are just fictional characters, right? Nothing to go to war over.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep

OK are we playing "real life' or soap life. Seems to me when it's about Hope, her feelings should count as if it is real. If it's about Bo, it's only a soap. In real life, if your spouse, a loved one, had a head injury and then started having "visions" of the future, what would one really do? In my view, it's a no brainer.....one would be concerned about brain tumors, mental health, illness, etc. One would not be having hissy fits because on one hand that person did not tell you about them, or the other hadn, did tell you about them.
In real life, someone "dies" and hopefully you move on.....if you really love them, you WANT them to be happy. You don't get upset that they actually might love again. How would one react to come back from the dead and find their wishes for their beloved was happening? I don't know.

And yes, clearly Hope threw him out of their bed. Bo tries to touch the woman, have a family hug when their daughter is saved, and she acts like he's a leper and being touched by him sickens her. Just because Bo volunteered to leave their room rather than be rejected yet another time by Hope, does not mean she did not thrown him out of the bed.

I am sick of Hope treating Bo like he only has any value when another woman might show some interest. She did not give a damn whether he was eating alone, feeling bad, taking care of himself, until she found out about Carly. Oh wait, she did. She was wishing he was miserable and lonely. Explain again what Bo's misery has to do with Hope trying to deal with her problems? Seems to me, typical of Hope, she wanted to punish Bo.
In the meantime she had Justin to take care of her, console her, be a friend, make sure she and Ciara were safe and warm and that was fine.
Finally, how the h*ll can Hope sit there and listen to Vic spout off cr*p like "Did Bo threaten you?" and not go ballistic???
Instead of her calm, "No, nothing like that" it would have been nice for Hope to rise above her own pettiness and let Vic know that was an inappropriate question, as Bo would never, has never threatened Hope in any way shape or form.
Instead, Hope allows Vic to trash Bo in front of her.

Hope has gotten a pass for years and years for her selfish, self centered behavior. Maybe people are finally fed up with her blaming Bo for anything and everything. Maybe finally getting a chance to trash Hope is bringing out people who had to watch the show make Hope like Marlena, the constant victim saint, while only allowing Bo one purpose....worship and save Hope in every story. Bo, as a character deserves better than being a prop for Hope. Seeing him with Carly reminds me again what a refreshing change it was to see Bo in a relationship where he was treated as an equal.

I could not agree more especially where you said the only time Hope acts like Bo has any worth is because another woman is showing interest in him. I am so over Hope's little tantrums. shes a spoiled rotten brat and she has a good life with a man that adores her and she takes it for granted so now I hope little miss Hope is sitting out in the gutter looking in as Carly makes a good life for Bo in his home. Hope chose to have Dean in her home Hope chose to be angry for weeks after the kidnapping Hope chose to punish Bo ,Hope chose to leave the house and run to Daddy and Julie ,Hope chose to move everything she owned out secretly to Victors and Hope chose to take Bo's daughter away from him so now Hope gets to reap the consequences of her bad choices and very bad behavior she was so willing to throw it to the wind because she has always gotten to act badly and Bo has always forgiven her and caved in well maybe this time shes not going to get to have her way maybe this time she went to far and Bo might just stick to his guns and make her sleep in the bed she made for herself. I am proud of Bo for standing up to the shrew and I say let her go find her comfort in the arms of Justin while Bo finds the comfort he needs in the arms of his ex fiance'.

Well people can bash Hope til the cows come home, but that doesn't mean that Bo and Carly will get together. Unfortunately for the Carly/Bo lovers, Bo and the "shrew" as you so lovingly call her, are going to end up together. Might be a hard pill to swallow, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles!
