Hope?

One character that has been introduced recently but not had much coverage is Hope. Does anyone else wonder when she is gonna get to be able to tell her story? Anyone else wonder how she went blind, or if she is going to regain her sight(if at all possible)? I mean with her being blind and making it this far, she has to be worth it.

Well, according to Hope's story to Michael she lost her sight on impact with the ground when escaping. So in theory she might be able to regain her sight but it would probably involve complex and delicate surgery no one we are acquainted with as of now could perform. I don't know that for certain of course. If the impact caused damage to the eye itself (like a slipped retina) that could be fixable but if the damage was to the optic nerve I'd imagine she's never getting better.

Here's a link to what i'm talking about

having eerienced two detached retinas myself, these are reparable, and not all that onvasive of a surgery; however, as nik stated, it is delicate. another take on the blindness, which doesn't seem to be complete blindness if I am correctly remembering her conversation with Michael about it, could be psychological...like the one soldier from the second episode of Band of Brothers.

I would like to hear her story and some new info about the last tower. Here's a thought -- She's blind, so will she recognize Kalani, if he indeed is was at the tower, like he claims? I do feel like too much shit is going down right now, and it's distracting them from connecting vital clues.

We haven't heard from Kalani since Michael and co got back to the Tower, so I wouldn't be surprised if Hope has a run in with Kalani in Chapter 21.

Yeah...Kalani and Hope must know each other..hmmm. could shed some more light on Kalani's past. I like

Should be interesting to find out more about her and hopefully she'll be able to shed some more light on Kalani. He really seems like a dick. I'm definitely not a fan of that one. I'm also sort of wondering what kind of relationship Datu will have with her. Will he try to be all fatherish to her, will he just keep a watchful eye on her? Or is she going to become just another resident to him after the initial shock of her arrival wears off?
