I Am A Swede

I would much have preferred if Belle was the abuser. It would be much harder for Tom to get anyone to believe him if/when he spoke up, and Belle could use the threat of her family to keep him in line. But that would require them to make a Dingle the actual villain for once, and we can't have that, can we....   We're supposed to look upon them as being right all the time, even when they're doing horrible things.

Rare Emmerdale Farm promo near the start. @I Am A Swede

 

 

Funny, even that small glimpse of Emmerdale Farm brought me more pleasure than a whole month's worth of the current show.

What have they done to Lisa's ashes, friend? Something vulgar I bet.

Tom kicked the urn and her ashes spread all over the place. Tom then blamed Belle for it because she "upset" him. Go to around 4.10

This is incredible.... One can't help but wonder, is it an accident, or something else?

What is it with this show and dead people's ashes? I don't think anyone has forgotten the disgusting way they handled Liv's ashes, and now they're at it again with Lisa's....

I find it really distasteful, and it makes me incredibly grateful that they didn't do anything like this with Annie's ashes.

Oh and who says Hope has to rush into marriage? Has Hope never heard of long engagement's? She can be engaged and plan the wedding 5 years from now. 

One might say that she did just that by accepting the ring from Thomas. He knew (because she told him) that she wasn't ready for anything more than that at the moment, yet he still proposed again, so if she had said yes I doubt he would have been willing to wait 5 years for the actual wedding. He would have started putting pressure on her for that immediately.

Can't argue with that!

Then she should NOT Have accepted his ring at all. She sent him major mixed signals even  said her T and Douglas are a family. He thought they were on the same page and they weren't IMO she he loves her more than she loves him

I thought she made her position very clear from the start of the relationship, and she has also been very clear about not being ready for marriage. And you can have a family without being married. My parents didn't marry until I was twelve, but I never doubted that we were a family.

It's honestly quite refreshing for B&B to have a character unwilling to rush into marriage for once. Usually they can hardly wait for the ink to dry on the divorce (or annulment) papers before they marry someone else.

For heaven's sake! Hope simply said that she didn't want to get married! They're acting like she committed a deadly sin. It's ridiculous. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole-hill.

That's easy. He could resign!

And Bradley could have at least given 1 sentence about the whereabouts of Taylor Hayes. Is she in a coma somewhere? Or is Sheila going to come back impersonating Taylor... or is Taylor back in Morocco drinking tea with the king... 

Amen to that! Taylor's absence is glaring, and the lack of any explanation just makes it worse. Surely there could have been a way to keep Taylor on the show. 

I'm completely Team Hope in this. She had made it clear that she wasn't ready to get married again, yet Thomas still proposed, again.... And when Hope stood firm in her decision Thomas whines to Steffy, and now she decides to get involved....

If Thomas isn't mature enough to respect Hope's clearly stated wish to not rush into another marriage then maybe he hasn't moved past his previous obsessive behaviour. I just hope that Hope doesn't allow herself to get bullied into accepting his proposal. She has done nothing wrong and I hope she makes that clear to Steffy, who by the way should worry more about her own marriage instead of butting into other people's business. In that respect she really is like her namesake.

I disagree completely. It was IN character. This was a person that slept with a father and his two sons before that. She is clearly perverted and sick. And this storyline was the most fun in the show's history. Complete binge-worthy guilty pleasure. Haha.

It was out of character for Brooke in my opinion because Deacon was not the type she would get involved with. After she broke up with Dave in the early days she had been involved with Ridge, Eric, Connor, James, Grant and Thorne. Men who were very different from a lowlife scum like Deacon. I just never bought that Brooke would ever look twice at someone like Deacon, and that's without taking the whole Bridget situation into consideration.

You think differently though, and that's fine.
