me into it. She just said that there's an attitude about
her relationship. >> Steffy: Attitude?
My attitude isn't the problem. I-- I told them that I am
concerned about them and I am. Thomas has intense feelings
for Hope and that makes him vulnerable, but Hope thinks
it's no big deal. She doesn't want a future
with him, you know that. >> Ridge: I asked her
about that. >> Steffy: What did she say?
