Now that The Bold and the Beautiful's Liam and Hope (Lope to fans) are engaged to get married yet again, we wonder how long it's going to last this time. They've been on this merry-go-round for over a decade, and something has always broken them up (usually Liam's flip-flopping between Hope and Steffy).

Will Liam and Hope finally have a lasting marriage? Or will Thomas re-enter the picture and become a temptation for her?

This week on The Bold and the Beautiful

This week on The Bold and the Beautiful, Liam (Scott Clifton) proposed to Hope (Annika Noelle), and she told him she would marry him (again). Wow, that happened awfully fast, considering she was engaged to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) just a few weeks ago, but this is where we need to practice suspension of disbelief. This is a soap, after all.

Since this isn't Lope's first rodeo as husband and wife, it feels like they should have spent some quality time dating first and discussing specific ways that they intend for their marriage to be different this time. Has Liam forgotten that she's the one whose eyes wandered the last time they were married? She even fantasized about Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) while she was having sex with Liam.

Was Hope ever this turned on when she was with Liam?

What will happen if Thomas arrives back on the scene and works at Forrester Creations again? How can Hope forget the passionate relationship she shared with him? Won't Liam feel insecure if Thomas and Hope work together again? After all, the kiss Hope and Thomas shared in Rome was what ended Lope's marriage.

Thomas and Hope (Thope) had a huge fan base. Who can forget all the steamy sex scenes they shared in the design room, Eric's office, and Thomas's bed? Hope became ignited in a way we've never seen with any other man she's been with.

The other day, Hope said she "lost her way" after her last divorce from Liam. But she sure found something during that time. She found passion in spades. How will she ever be sexually satisfied with Liam after all the heat, chemistry, and passion she shared with Thomas?

How could Liam ever forget this kiss?

Liam was horrified when he spotted Hope kissing Thomas in Rome. That was the kiss that kicked off Thope's passionate relationship. Liam could never forgive her for that kiss, since Thomas kept the secret that their daughter Beth was alive. Liam would have been able to forgive Hope for kissing any other man, but not Thomas.

So what is Liam going to do the next time Thomas appears on the canvas? How will Hope feel when she sees her ex-lover? Will the memories of their passionate moments come flooding back to her? How can she ever forget the one thing Thomas always told her -- that he loved her and only her? That's definitely something she cannot say about Liam.

And let's face it, if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) weren't happily married to Finn (Tanner Novlan), then Liam would probably go back to wanting both women -- and the triangle from hell would start all over again.
