B&B’s Katherine Kelly Lang Weighs-In On Hope’s New Attitude: “Brooke is Starting to be Like, ‘Uh-oh! She’s Taking After Me!’ ”
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) has been not pleased with her daughter Hope’s (Annika Noelle) choice in bedfellows! After all, Brooke and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) have a long history of disdain for each other (although there was that time they took psychedelic berries together and pranced around with not much clothes on).
Hope had divorced Liam (Scott Clifton) and has been getting much closer to Thomas, feeling he is the only man who ‘gets her’ and ‘sees her’ for who she really is. On recent episodes of B&B, Hope has no problem giving into her desires for Thomas, now that she is no longer Hope Spencer.
Soap Opera Digest spoke with series iconic star, Katherine Kelly Lang to get her take on what she thinks of Hope’s attitude adjustment and recent behavior.

Lang expressed: “She seems to have changed a bit. She’s not the sweet little Hope that she once was and Brooke is starting to be like, ‘Uh-oh! She’s taking after me!’’
Brooke is not happy that Thomas has apparently won over Hope, when she is wary of the guy. Katherine added, “Thomas was stalking her (Hope) and he did all that crazy stuff with the baby. He just hasn’t been good for her, you know, especially when he was totally obsessed with her. So, Brooke doesn’t believe that that’s completely gone, that there’s still got to be some of that in Thomas somewhere and she’s worried about her daughter. So, of course, she would kind of say, ‘This is not good. This is just not a good situation. With all the men in the sea, why, why do you (pick Thomas)?”

However, many might see that as the pot calling the kettle black given how Brooke has often given into her desires with the men in her life and made some pretty bad choices herself!
So, is Hope turning into a ‘mini-Brooke’? Should Brooke continue to warn Hope of Thomas’ past, or should she just mind her own business at this point? Share your comments via the comment section.

OLTL is Rockin HOT – will someone please bitch slap Frons for cacelling it.
I love it! And I volunteer to bitch slap him TWICE. FORWARD AND BACKWARDS! LOL!
I hope OLTL’s ratings soar ! If no renewal is found, the show deserves to go out in the #1 spot.
It would be the end of Frons- excellent!
Oh Happy ,Happy ,Joy,Joy !!!!
LOVE Roger Howarth and am soooo excited he’s back.
Can’t wait til Friday the 13th…..hmmm given the date can we count on that ominous music of his and some explosives first scenes !!!
He’s just got be be the REAL TODD !!!!
My toes are curling with anticipation !!!!!
(hopes) if he is the REAL TODD -scenes with Susan (Marty) before she exits….and of course Erika (Vicki),always loved their relationship……and more !!!!
Oooo ….I’m sooo excited !!!!
I hope this will be as good as I think it will be. I cant wait to see how this plays out. I hope it gives many characters on the canvas dramatic story. Let’s see Oltl get 2nd in the ratings again.
First of all Todd had his scar removed & then he had the plastic surgery. The writers can’t keep up.
I know rite and how are they going to explain the DNA test Tea did but he will be the real Todd because Tomas said he did not shoot Todd but we all no he tried to kill the current one that was hint one for me and in the previews it shows Roger waking yeling saying he’s been in here for eight years. It all doesn’t make sense but we’ll see what happens.
RH’s Todd never had the scar removed. If you watch clips on YT of his last scenes with Mitch Lawrence before he was put into the tomb, the scar is still there. (And if it were removed, there would be a reason in Todd’s bio, prior to TSJ taking over the role, because the scar was significant to the character). He wouldn’t have the scar removed because it reflected what he had done to Marty, who he was, and who he would always be. The scar didn’t disappear until Todd got a new face. And that was ‘explained’ with the plastic surgery angle when TSJ took over the role. But when RH was Todd, the scar was always there. There were days when it was prominent and days when it wasn’t.
Roger Roger Roger!! Will the real Todd Manning please stand up!
Yes i enjoyed the scenes with Ericka and Roger they were so touching and they were nice to watch… I hope OLTL goes out number one in the ratings should have been GH that got the ax i mean really It is the carly jason sonny show one can only take so much of them.
I hope this is done right! How are you going to explain Trevor St. John’s love for his family! We shall see!
I may be the only one, but I hope he isn’t the realy todd, I LOVE TSJ & hope that Roger scenes are flashbacks or that Roger is an imposter trying to claim all of TSJ $ because he thinks that he was killed. Something anything except that he is the real Todd, I am not ready to stop watching Tea and TSJ, plus his love for his family would be unexplained. If he is an imposter why care so much about the kids. The memories he has cannot be imposter memories TSJ has to be Todd. Unless TSJ is a pod and a body for roger who is in a facility somewhere with electrodes in his brain to help TSJ be todd
I agree! I love TSJ as Todd! Don’t get me wrong, I loved Roger as TM and never thought he could be replaced when he left, but I was wrong…TSJ was a great replacement! There’s definitely something really weird going on…I’m so excited to see how they explain this.
I think Trevor St.John makes a better Todd. Why should Roger Howarth could back and take the role back. If hhe really wanted to play the role why did he leave in the frist place. I say no way for Howarth and i say keep St.John as Todd. All i can say is love Trevor St. John keep on playing Todd he has made the role fun and very interesting.
