In the October 24 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Hope has an intense discussion with Deacon and Brooke about reuniting with Liam. Everyone is telling her that “Lope” is meant to be. But what does her heart want?
Key Takeaways
- Carter and Hope ended their engagement, allowing them to explore possible love connections.
- Part of Hope still loves Liam and wants to get back together for the sake of their family.
- Brooke and Deacon want their daughter to reconcile with her waffling ex.
- But does Hope really want to go back to the man who’s hurt her countless times?
Brooke and Deacon Prop Lope
At Forrester Creations, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang—who unveiled a fashion short and more!), Hope (Annika Noelle), Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) sniff the samples of the latest fragrance. They all agreed that it would be the perfect complement to HFTF.
Then, the conversation shifted to Liam (Scott Clifton) being alive and healthy again. Brooke encouraged Hope to give Liam a second chance. Deacon (Sean Kanan) entered the room upon hearing Liam’s name. He’s been a Lope fanatic since the beginning. Deacon encouraged Hope to do the same.
Hope said she’s enjoying the present moment. She wanted to focus on Deacon’s marital problems with his wife, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). However, Deacon told them that they were only seeking a separation during this time. They have no intention of divorce.
Regardless, Hope told her father to dump Sheila for good. She pointed out Sheila’s bond with Luna (Lisa Yamada), which will never break. Deacon told his daughter that love is hard. He also advised her not to let Liam slip away.
But What Does Hope Want?
Everyone wants Hope to get back with Liam. Later in the episode, Brooke told Hope that she and Deacon weren’t pressuring her. However, she’s better off with Liam than anyone else.
Hope hasn’t forgotten why she divorced her ex in the first place. He spent most of their marriage waffling between her and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood—who welcomed her fifth baby boy). She didn’t want to get her heart broken once again.
Although Hope enjoyed her time with Liam and Beth (Jordyn Lynn Ariza), she needs to consider what she wants to do next. The last thing she wants to do is jump into another relationship that will likely fail. She’s already done that with Carter and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson).
Brooke advised Hope to follow her heart. She could tell that her daughter still loves Liam. Hope believes they both learned their lesson in the past. Then she added, “How could I not love him?”
But does Hope really want Liam back? Or is she doing this to save their family? Meanwhile, Bill (Don Diamont) encouraged Liam to fight for what he wants. He’s a Spencer man, after all.
