‘H’ is for Hypocrite, err I mean, Hope Logan

Oh Hope Logan.

If you were to look up the word ‘hypocrite’ in the dictionary, you would see a picture of Hope Logan beside it. This weeks Bold and the Beautiful had Hope commit adultery. For the past 2 years, Hope has been a  spokesperson for her Hope for the Future line, a line that’s about sending a message to young girls that it is okay to hold out in abstinence, that it is okay to follow your own beliefs and values, and that you shouldn’t let other people pressure you into something you’re not ready for.

However, in typical Logan fashion, they’re mantra is, “Do as I say, and not as I do.”

Hope let her insecurities get the best of her. Her aunt Katie and her mother Brooke let their hatred for Steffy overpower their love for Hope. They told her what she wanted to hear, that she and Liam were married in their hearts and that nothing else mattered. When Hope asked Katie, “What about my fans?? I can’t betray them.” Katie replied with a “They don’t have to know what happens behind closed doors”. What a great aunt she is! Remind me to never go to her for advice!

But before Hope goes off to sleep with Steffy’s husband, she tries one more time to get Steffy to sign the annulment papers. Of course Steffy said no again, for the hundredth time. That was when Hope decided to add salt to the wound, by casually telling Steffy that she and Liam were going to spend their first night together. Steffy held her ground by telling Hope that if she went ahead with this that she would be committing adultery. Of course Hope tried to justify that what she was going to do wasn’t wrong, that she and Liam love each other and would have been married already if it weren’t for Steffy, and that they were married in their hearts already. Long story short, Hope goes to Liam’s and they have sex that night.

Sorry Hope. You can try and beat around the bush all you want, but the fact is, Liam IS STILL MARRIED and you slept with a MARRIED MAN. Not only did you sleep with a married man, your FIRST TIME was with a married man! You can NEVER go back in time to change that! You can try and sugar coat it all you want, but the fact is you slept with a married man, and you weren’t ready. You tried to be everything your mother is not. You tried so hard to be the exact opposite of her and to do something good for yourself. But in the end, you listened to her bad advice and you ended up doing something typical Brooke would do. It’s sad to see because the morning after Hope is torn up with guilt for sleeping with a married man, and when Brooke asks her what she wanted to tell Liam last night, it was “To stop.” Maybe Brooke will realize what she has done? Nah, that’s wishful thinking.

Hope sleeping with Liam was a horrible way for her to lose her virginity. She listened to her aunt and mother, who were pressuring Hope into sleeping with Liam as a way to stick it to Steffy. Hope should have followed her heart and done what was right for HER, not what everyone else THOUGHT was right for her. It was bad enough that she was going around telling everyone and bragging to Steffy, that she was going to sleep with Liam, and when it actually happened, it was nothing like she thought it would be and now she is full of guilt and remorse.

Can’t say I pity her, she got exactly what she wanted. 

What are your opinions on this subject matter? I would love to hear what you think. Do you think Hope is innocent in this mess or not?
