B&B: Hope for the Future Spoiler

[Cheap21]

Apparently, according to SID, Wyatt is going to pitch to Thorne for HFTF to become a lingerie line and Hope to be the spokesperson and lead model. Seems like obvious set up to have Aly explode even more.

[Juliajms]

OMG! This will be hilarious.

[DRW50]

I read that really fast and thought you said Thorne would be modeling lingerie.

[ChitHappens]

I had hoped this would be a post about ending that ridiculous line and message! Ugh!

[Khan]

It'd be more believable than Hope modeling the crap.

[ChitHappens]

As ridiculous as Maya and her flabby arms. Hope is about 5"3 and would be ridiculous on the runway.

[Khan]

Hope would be ridiculous just about anywhere.

No, I am not "Team Aly." In fact, I think the characters on "Saved by the Bell" had more depth than those on B&B.

[Juliajms]

Well, the line might not be dead, but the message only lives in Ally's rattled brain. How utterly ironic that it's turned in to Brooke's Bedroom Part 2. LMAO!

[Cat]

Does Hope have the, um, sex appeal Brooke brought to her lingerie line? Heck, does she have the sex appeal Thorne brings to any lingerie line?

I wish they change the name of HFTF to something a little more catchy. And, no, not "Hope's bedroom." Because when I hear that, I think of gingham-frilled vanities, Taylor Swift posters on the wall and the entire Sweet Valley High series on a bookshelf by the bed.

The line is so schizophrenic and doesn't know what it wants to be. First it was a line for teen girls, then a bridal line and now lingerie? Why not call this something else and launch it as it's own thing. I wish they'd can HFTF as well

[Juliajms]

I think that KM could pull it off. She's incredibly beautiful. I'd say she (almost) rivals KKL and HT in their heydays. She's not tall, but Brooke was modeling in her 50's and that's not terribly realistic either.

I think they are trying to transition Hope into a much more sexual character. The sex scenes and now this line tell me that. Not sure the audience will be able to go with it. Seeing someone be a bit of a hypocrite is a huge turn off, but I'm just telling myself that she was pretty young when she was all annoying and preachy.

[ChitHappens]

I'd buy it (less the height deficiency) because KM is stunning and she has her real face and body. Why not? What I won't do is buy into this as they shill that crap, HFTF, when Hope is seriously corrupted now, especially after Wyatt's grand larceny stunt!

[Cat]

Kim is a beautiful woman -- definitely not disputing that. I have reservations because the character she plays still seems so young and girlish. It would be a definite change in image for Hope, for sure, given that since KM joined the show, Hope has, for all her faults, never been overtly sexualized. She was never hot and sultry and vixeny like Steffy or her mom, she was actually trying to get away from all that.

Suddenly SvengaliWyatt wants to reinvent the wheel (well, HFTF) with an idea he is "borrowing" from 1990s Brooke. It's not that original an idea in this day and age where all brands and starlets are trying to sex it up to gain relevancy (Miley Cyrus, hello?). And given that his last ridiculous stunt essentially forced Hope, Rick, Pam, and others to engage in a big cover-up for fear of a press onslaught, I wouldn't be too keen on any "new" ideas this young man is coming up with if I were Thorne.

[ChitHappens]

Excellent point and I certainly can't disagree even if I wanted to. Hope was telling Wyatt that what she loves about him is that he sees her potential. So she never saw her own potential and will allow this guy to lead her? Again, dump that damn HFTF message because that goes against everything Hope is selling to her fans!

[Cat]

Hope is turning out to be one of those girls who cannot live or breathe without a boyfriend making a decision for her. Like when Liam pulled the "Fire the Fullers to show me how much you love me" card. She was all "Sure, ok!" without a second thought. Family company's multimillion dollar line? Oh, nevermind that! Of course, now I wish Wyatt would jump off cliff somewhere but I still think that Hope should never have been so cavalier with two people's livelihoods -- just for some Liam peen. The so-called HFTF "message" was tarnished then. It was never about whether Hope had sex before marriage or not, ever; it was about whether she stood by her word in her day-to-day life and in her interactions with others.

God, that sounds so waffly and preachy -- I don't mean it to be.
