'Days of Our Lives' (DOOL) Spoilers: Rafe Declares His Love For Hope [PHOTO]
He has been loving her without saying anything for a long time, but now, Rafe (Galen Gering) will decide he is done waiting to see if Hope (Kristian Alfonso) will give him a chance and just go for it on Days of Our Lives.
He loved her when she was engaged to Aiden, and was there for her this entire time, even after he tried to kill her, and was also there for her again after she was mourning Bo's death so soon after his return. Bo even asked him, knowing how he felt, to look after Hope after he died.
Since then, he has helped her cover up Stefano's murder and set Andre (Thaao Penghlis) up to take the fall, and has been helping her as she deals with Ciara's (Vivian Jovanni) acting out after she was raped. But now, after new concerns continue to creep up about who really kidnapped and tortured Bo for so long-and the fact that Hope actually killed the wrong man, Rafe will decide that he'll be there again, but this time, he's going to also finally do something about his feelings.
After bringing Hope home following their outing with Caroline (Peggy McCay), where she confessed to murdering Stefano and the truth came out about the concerns Deimos (Vincent Irizarry) was the one who actually orchestrated Bo's torture, Rafe made a big move, vowing to no longer play things obnoxiously safe, and planted a passionate kiss on Hope.
Now, after they break apart, Rafe will finally tell Hope how much he's been in love with her-putting all of his feelings out there and making sure she knows-and truly putting whatever future they could potentially have, entirely in her hands. And though Hope may find herself attracted to Rafe, and knows that she can count on him to be a stable presence in her life and a great man to have by her side, she could still be hesitant to move on-especially since their plot could be putting them both in extreme danger.
Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
