Hmmm. Let's see. My son has come in, telling me how he suddenly has a problem with getting into the Police Academy, and suspects it was Philip. He is surprised his fiancee is not there because she said she would meet him, and I have seen Philip's car in the parking lot. I know she has been chasing around the country with Philip, leaving her DAUGHTER behind and really not worrying about her or my son. And suddenly, Philip appears, obviously coming down from upstairs, where he clearly does not belong.
Hmm, what to do. o.k. I leave my son to deal with his so called friend alone. That is as it should be. And I go up to Belle's to show her the jack-o-lantern for Claire. And I find my future daughter in law in a robe, crying, the room a big mess with all the bedding pulled off the bed. And so...what do I do. Pretend to see nothing? Or ask what is the matter, what happened here?
And yes, I agree, Hope left Bo to go to some island for some time alone. (Remember, this was Chelsea's manipulations). And also remember that Chelsea had forged e-mails, destroyed notes, and caused Hope to believe that Bo was sleeping with Billie. Chelsea knew Patrick would be on that island, and certainly Hope did not know. And this was some time after Zack died. Not quite the same thing with Belle here.
Unfortunately, Hope got involved thru no fault of her own.
She has, for now, agreed to keep quiet. Not for Belle, but for her son's sake.
That has to be very difficult for her. It certainly would for me. Sometimes, we get involved in spite of our best efforts to stay out of whatever. Hope & Bo have done so, thus far. Philip has an agenda, made no bones about it, and has taken advantage when and where he can.
Let me say here......I could care less about all 3 of them. And all 3 should end up being alone. LOLOL
