Brooke accuses Hope of Shacking up with Thomas

[ekek]

Where does she get the nerve? First off "shacking up" is an offensive term for unmarried sexual partners living together. Thomas doesn't live with Hope. If she's thinking that using the office for a sexual rendezvous is wrong she should burst into flames.

Brooke is LA's most proficient shacking up Queen and should expect no less from her daughter.

[Stella_Bella]

Brooke is just pissed that Hope has a Forester man that she doesn’t have to chase, unlike her with Ridge and she also doesn’t like that she can’t control Hope in this situation.

[Betsey]

Facts! Brooke is fuming mad that Thomas is everything that Brooke always wanted Ridge to be. She has "half a man" that sometimes chooses her whereas Hope isn't even in love with Thomas and he is over-the moon for her and wouldn't even notice if a Victoria's Secret model was standing in front of him. He is 100% all about Hope!

[Karinschka]

Didn´t Brooke even have a bed in her office for some time? She certainly had her wild times too, much more than Hope.
And Thope are by far not the only ones who had sex in the office, I remember just from the last years Steffy and Finn, Carter and Katie, Carter and Quinn...

[ekek]

Yes, Brooke kept a bed in her office used mainly for her affair with her daughter's husband.

[24Kasie76]

Thomas is reverting.
His eyes look and smirk= prove it ending of the show. (thanks writers, for showing me, what i've known would go down) appreciate it here we go, again. it is happening.

and this time, Brookie is right.

[Karinschka]

I watched it, even more than once, and I didn´t see a smirk. He just remembered what just happened in that office and he liked what he remembered, the sex with Hope.
To me it looked like he thought even if she´s not in love with him it´s worth it.

[silkdog]

There's nothing wrong, as a mother, to worry about Hope who is probably playing with fire.

[maryg]

Hope lit the fire and threw gasoline on it.

[Karinschka]

I fire can burn you but it can also be warming and cosy...

[Santeenluvtheme]

KKL killed her scenes today, she was really making me laugh! I loved how exasperated she looked going from Deacon to her daughter, and seeing that she wasn't getting through to either of them the way she had hoped. Brooke was going through it today!


I also found it amusing seeing her on the other end of things, walking in on THOPE, as she has definitely been the one in seduction mode at the office, herself. She knows the signs all too well!

[tosh]

I want Liam to walk in on Thope

[RedheadTeacher]

And this is when I miss Stephanie who would have smacked Brooke with the truth that Hope is doing nothing that Brooke hasn't done.....though Hope is smart enough to lock the door.

[SharikaC]

Brooke is just pissed that Hope has a Forester man that she doesn’t have to chase, unlike her with Ridge and she also doesn’t like that she can’t control Hope in this situation.

I wonder if that's really why Brooke is so against Hope being. with Thomas, that she has no control over Hope? That seems to piss her more than anything, that she no longer has control over her daughter.....her grown daughter. This is the third time she has caught Hope with Thomas. Glad the door was locked this time. BTW, I wonder what Brooke's definition of "shacking up"? Has Hope moved in with Thomas? Did I miss that part? Far as I know, Thomas/Hope aren't living together. They're just having a fling. Probably shouldn't have it at FC, but a fling just the same.

Not sure what the writers are doing to the Brooke character. She sounds like an idiot, trying to lecture grown folks. First Deacon and then Hope. It's just not a good look for her.

[MemMem]

That would explain Brooke's preference of Liam for Hope. Liam is not the least bit independent and he was easily bullied into having Thomas's son shoved on him to raise and to ignore his own child by Steffy. Another man would insist on moving Hope and himself off her property and one that he controlled.

I am only surprised that Brooke has not gone over to Spencer Publications to badger Liam into returning to the cabin and working things out for Beth's sake. This is very out of character for the woman who, in the past, set up ambush weddings to Hope for him.

[hawkgirl]

Ugh. She should talk. Lol.

[Just*My*Opinion]

... This board is super quick to jump based on one scene or look. Haha.

IMO The whole point of scenes and looks in a Soap is to cause a conclusion or an opinion to be formed (so it's only natural for viewers to jump to conclusions, and all are valid based on perspective). I think sometimes they play with us to throw us off but they do things on purpose in those scenes. There is nothing wrong with people interpreting based on their experience with the show. It makes for a good discussion.

Also, sometimes things are foreshadowed, hinted at, and don't show up immediately. They may even delay things to gauge viewer reactions to those scenes and looks and may even drop the idea altogether. I am not saying that is definitely what is happening here, but it's something to consider.

In the particular scene that was mentioned, at the end of totadys show, I think Thomas's look is pretty neutral and was probably meant for people to interpret differently. He didn't seem to give things away one way or the other and the point was most likely to get people talking and reacting.

I didn't see obsession, but I also didn't see proof that there is no obsession lurking underneath.

[joncharmed93]

Brooke's just mad that Hope is doing the very thing she couldn't do all those years ago. Remember the Taboo line y'all? All the controversy surrounding Brooke and Thomas?

[aboutnici]

Everyone is worried about Thomas's mental health, but what about Hope. She just found out that her dad is hooking up with Sheila, her ex-husband dumped her, so that he could go back to his ex-wife, and she is dealing with more than abandonment issues!

[AnnB627]

From where I sit, Brooke has nothing to say to anybody about anything. Giant hypocrite.

[Russellgm]

That's exactly what she is doing, stinking up the office and not bathing afterwards like she can't wait till after work and get a room. Brooke 2.0

[viennagirl]

Nothing wrong with Brooke today.
Hope was the one who had sent her mother to Deacon to plead with him to end it with Sheila -> but Deacon and Sheila are just as much consenting adults as Hope and Thomas are.

Hope doesn't agree with her dad's relationship with Sheila, but expects Brooke to tolerate her own with Thomas.
________________

And that "sex without bonds" relationship at work affects others. They have just used the CEO office and during their romp they have knocked files and supplies off the desk.

So Ridge, Eric or Steffy or anyone else using the CEO office shouldn't mind if the office stinks of sex, because Thomas and Hope are consenting adults?
They all just do it at the office from time to time - Thope just do it regularly and in every office?

[ekek]

I'm with you for all the reasons you stated. The CEO office should not be used as an adult playground. But you missed the point. Brooke, massive hypocrite that she is, is calling out Hope for doing what she has done her whole life and with multiple men.

Hope learned by example. It is a little late now to talk inappropriate.

[viennagirl]

I don't see how Hope can have learned by example, because the times Brooke had sex with someone at FC that she was NOT in love with and/or didn't openly date, that has happened before Hope's birth

- lab sex with Ridge when the belief formula worked (Brooke still loved Ridge but was married to Eric)
- the one time Beacon had sex at FC that ended with Brooke feeling so guilty to right after that she run off to Europe so that it would never happen again)

so Hope was no witness to that.

Why shouldn't Brooke call out Hope on repeatedly having sex with a guy at work, while Hope constantly claims that she does NOT love Thomas?

WHEN and with WHAT GUY did Brooke have repeatedly sex at FC while claiming that she does NOT love that guy and just needs that sex relationship and that devotion from the guy?

So if Steffy had sex with all of her loved ones at a time (Liam, Wyatt, Finn) it is to late to call out Hope and Thomas on their regularly office romps?
So do they really need to bring the kids in, that never had sex yet, that at least the kids are allowed to call out the adults on what is appropriate or isn't?
________

But yes, IMO, they all should only do it at their own home, place, and NOT at work.

I think you’re right about all that the looks are there for a reason and for the viewers to interpret . I don’t know if it’s by direction or the actors choices but not everyone will take the same way.
