Now that Liam is safe on The Bold and the Beautiful, will there be three men fighting for Hope in the near future?
Hope (Annika Noelle) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are presently engaged to be married, but will they end up walking down the aisle? All of a sudden, we’re wondering if the happy couple will remain happy at all as two other men potentially vie for Hope’s affection.
After Hope and Liam (Scott Clifton) divorced after he caught Hope kissing Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) in Rome, Hope drew ire by shacking up with Thomas in a wild and passionate love affair. Their relationship was doomed by Hope’s lack of commitment after Thomas asked her to marry him multiple times and she kept rejecting him. Ultimately, Thomas fled to Paris (the country) and ended up getting engaged to Paris (aka Paris Buckingham [Diamond White]).
Slowly but surely, Carter and Hope started to embark on a romantic journey just as Liam decided that he was meant to be with Hope. After Hope turned him away, she pursued her relationship with Carter but then they broke up after she thought he betrayed her by returning Forrester Creations to the Forresters.
Hope decided that Liam was her perfect match after all and tried to get back together with him. That’s when she discovered that Liam was dying, and it was Liam who encouraged her to make up with Carter so that she would have someone in her life once Liam died.
A lot has changed recently, and now this little love quadrangle is getting complicated again.
After Hope and Carter made up, he immediately proposed with the ring he’d had before their breakup, and she accepted his proposal. This made Liam very happy.
But now Hope and Liam are working through Dr. Grace Buckingham’s (Cassandra Creech) betrayal, making Liam think he was dying to extort money from Bill (Don Diamont). The trauma is resurrecting old wounds and bringing them closer together again.
While Liam and Hope are getting closer, we have a feeling Thomas and Paris might be growing apart now that both of her parents are in jail. This will no doubt bring the couple back to LA, where Thomas might realize that Hope is worth fighting for.
That leaves Hope in the middle of a three-way battle for her love, and it’s not going to be easy for her to figure out which way to turn. She has history with all three men and some of it’s good and some of it’s not so good. Making a decision won’t be easy for her and in all honesty Hope might be better off cutting her losses and saying goodbye to all three former lovers in the pursuit of a new lover who doesn’t come with so much baggage.
