Hope to Ben “You’re lying “ / Hope is going to feel stupid - Merged

[Silentfan]

Shouldn’t you be able to tell if he is lying or not. Is she really that incompetent?

[kdw877]

She's making a complete fool of herself and she's dragging Marlena down with her.

[Beca Drags]

A serial killer has good lying skills. Look at all the time Ben went unnoticed before they found out it was him who killed all those people.

[Beca Drags]

No, it doesn't, but it's totally understandable why Hope would think he is lying.

[Skins 2008]

Yes I can understand that Hope doesn't believe him and I think she is OTT but she is probably being more ratiobal then Bo would be TBH.

[ABeth]

Ted Bundy was described a chameleon, a pathological liar who could pretend to be anyone he wanted at a given time, and charming and charismatic enough to lure countless women to horrific deaths.

[dee2]

Hope was the one to tell Ciara about what Ben did, to Gabi. If not, Ciara would have kept being out of it and he would have kept his job
and kept doing other 'work' for Stefan and lying about it. Not to worry, I'm sure the writer has a whole bunch of upcoming stuff of Hope
having to say she was wrong, and of poor, put upon Ben basking in the glow from Ciara.

[dee2]

As she should. But, that won't effect Ciara's judgement at all.

[Princessnyla]

Jordan has had a mental break as her scenes today show & mental illness genetic & Hope herself is acting crazy herself

[lagirl]

They are putting Ben's crimes on Jordan so Hope can approve the pairing of her daughter and Ben.

[Princessnyla]

He isn’t lying & she would be to know that If she actually did her job . He has no passport to leave he. Ountey & he hasn’t been to no airport . What he did in the first ast is irrelevant when she has no proof

[Russellgm]

I want Malinda Trask to win and fire Hope as soon as she is sworn in. A person died in Chlo's club and she can't be bothered to even go to check on it just obsessed in trying to pin kidnapping on Ben. She really is obsessed with him and if he falls back it will be Hope who pushed him there. She is so unprofessional and Abe should never had given her that job.

[brandi007]

I do believe that Hope is the one that needs to be committed. Not Ben. He seems to be the sane one. And she's the looney toon.

[Dazey210]

I wanted to jump through the tv today and strangle her. She sounds like a lunatic and I can only hope this unhealthy fixation with Ben goes away soon. She’s unbearable to watch.

[SSN]

She is so full of hatred for Ben that she sees NOTHING. Personally, I now turn her off when she shows up. It’s always me attitude. She needs to take a vacation for a few months.

[Beca Drags]

I still love Hope and I think she's acting like any mother would at the prospect her daughter is missing and being involved with a serial killer. No mother in their right mind would ever sit back and accept that. I don't like that the writing is making her look like the one who is crazy and obsessed, hence sacrificing a long time fan fav in favor of a newbie serial killer character.

Oh and funny thing about serial killers, they LIE!!! Not so strange that Hope doesn't believe Ben!!!

[Elle23276]

Ben saved her daughter's life last year. That's a good reason to trust someone.

[ABeth]

Elle23276. In 1970, Ted Bundy saved the life of a drowning 3 year-old boy. Yet, he was still a deranged, sadistic serial killer.

[lagirl]

Just wait. All of his crimes will be given to Jordan and Hope will approve Ciara and Ben.

[Penee]

Her abuse of her position is is sickening. There’s a shooting at Doug’s Place but instead she must use her police commissioner power and resources to look for her daughter and harass Ben. She needs knocked down several pegs. I’m tired of her.

[Mopeds]

I think this is leading to a big dramatic conclusion where Hope "saves" Ciara from Ben (probably with some serious consequences) and ends up being informed by Ciara that Ben was not the kidnapper, and Hope ends up with egg (or worse) on her face.

Forget the egg on her face. When all this comes out I want a pink slip on her desk and her name on the Salem PD blacklist. The level of her incompetence is beyond words and the ease with which she abuses her power is alarming.

[seablue]

This story line needs to hurry up and end. I'm so sick and tired of Hope and her obsession with Ben. She's acting out of control and crazy. WHY is she even working for the PD?? She's way out of line.

[Skins 2008]

Would have been funny if Hope had turned into Princess Gina while she was calling Ben a liar, poor Ben and Ted would be so confused!
