I hope someone from this show reads this:
I think it is disgraceful the way the story line has gone with Hope . Almost thirty one years ago i lost a child the same way. The only child I was blessed with. I have watched this show from the very first episode (when Ridge fell down those stairs.) You have drawn the Hope scene out to where I'm reliving a lot of pain i went through as well. I'm sure not the only one out there that feels this. It's time to put an end to this chapter if you don't want to lose faithful followers.
