According to B&B’s executive producer and head scribe, Brad Bell on the newly shot remote scenes: “We’ve been to Portofino, Lake Como, we’ve been down to Puglia, now in Rome. It’s really a dream come true. This is a story about eternal love and where else should we be in the world but Rome, telling stories of eternal love?

Now, with Hope and Thomas collaborating on the ‘Hope for the Future’ designer clothing line again, it has drawn them closer. Through it, the tables have turned.  Hope is the one who seems to be lusting after Thomas, and trying to keep herself from crossing the line because she is married to Liam (Scott Clifton).

On Friday’s episode, while being confronted over the situation by her mother, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang),  Hope blurts out that it is ‘she’ that has feelings. After she says that key line, Thomas is about to walk in, but stops himself at the just office door and eavesdrops on Brooke and Hope’s conversation.

At that point, Hope is saying that Thomas is manipulative and that she doesn’t want anything to do with him. After she concludes her conversation with her mother, Brooke exits, but Thomas enter’s where a fraught Hope tries to explain away all the bad things he overheard her say about him.

In latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstand now, Matthew Atkinson weighed-in on if Thomas is getting clued in to what is going on with Hope. Matthew previewed that after all is said and done, Thomas might be on to Hope.

Atkinson shared: “I think if the situation came about where Hope actually told Thomas she was interested, that she could entertain those kind of thoughts, he would be interested. He has loved this girl for years and is obviously attracted to her, but Hope has to be forward enough to open up to Thomas. ”

The B&B star added, “But I will say this: There are some events that are coming up, and Thomas loves a good adventure.”
