There is absolutely NO chemistry between Hope, Rafe, and now Ted. Hope has not had a good relationship since she lost Bo. Hope needs to meet a tall, dark and mysterious stranger that is adventurous, wears black leather jackets, jeans, and rides a motorcycle and loves the sea. He is rich, comes from a Royal background and is visiting family in Salem. Hope meets him at a charity event at Doug and Julie’s place. She keeps running into him in various locations in Salem. There is a strong chemistry developing between them. Both of them are fighting the desire they have for each other because Hope just divorced Rafe and the new guy just broke-up with his fiancé, who he found cheating on him with another guy. This is the reason for visiting his family.
There needs to be more romance injected in this soap. Jennifer also could use a shot in the arm. Waiting on Jack to regain his memory is getting boring. Maybe the dark stranger has a cousin.
