Hope recently made a bold attempt to flirt with John Finn, but it fell flat as he remains devoted to Steffy. The awkward encounter on July 22 has left Hope facing backlash from fans, and she may now resort to manipulation to win Finn over. With potential allies like Sheila or Liam, Hope's scheming could lead to dramatic twists.

Hope's Risky Manipulation Game

The entire July 22 encounter was extremely uncomfortable; Finn even begged Hope to stop talking at one point. Nevertheless, those sequences also alluded to Hope's possible next step. It is difficult to believe that Finn would respond to anything just out of attraction, particularly in light of his reaction to Hope's admission of having a crush on her. Hope is up against a tough fight because Finn isn't showing any signs of interest at all. If Hope wants to have any chance of getting Finn in bed, there will most likely need to be some manipulation involved.

Given that she would likely gain from a crafty partner on this, Hope has a few options. First, there is Sheila, who was just freed, but there is a problem with that alliance because Hope does not trust her. To be sure, Hope has her doubts about Liam, but she also knows he is not dangerous, so she at least believes his feelings about Steffy. Could Liam become Hope’s ally on a risky plot?

Will Liam Become Hope's Unexpected Ally?

Maybe Hope will emphasize how Sheila poses a threat to Steffy, no matter what, while she is with Finn. Liam has indeed issued cautions in the past regarding that. Moreover, Hope can stress that their own marriage was doomed from the beginning due to his ex and remind Liam of his love for Steffy. Perhaps Hope will argue that Steffy belongs with Liam and encourage him to go after her again, this time for real! This might potentially lead to Hope and Liam forming a partnership, but it could also be Hope's scheme to coerce Liam into starting problems.

Liam's decision to dissolve Steffy and Finn's marriage suggests that Hope will likely have the opportunity to console Finn. Hope eventually requires a method to reach a single Finn because of his unshakable devotion to Steffy. Could Hope find the answer to Liam's fixation with Steffy? Stay tuned for updates on Hope's future plans and any predictions about Liam's role.
