So, if you haven't already, I advise you to read both Uncanny X-Men 541 and 542, they are, in my opinion, the only decent Fear Itself reads I've had aside from Black Widow's. 
If you haven't, stop reading now in fear of spoilers.
 
So, as we all saw, Hope was really the only person who was able to make an effect on Kuurth. Now, we know that Emma has been afraid of Hope, ever since she saw the Phoenix Force within her during the end of Second Coming. In #542 we see Emma taking a pillow and preparing to, obviously, suffocate Hope whilst she's unconscious. 
 
She won't be killed, we know that. Hope's a heavily invested property that people are just starting to like, so it would be pointless to kill her off. What I am interested in seeing is if Emma actually tries to suffocate her and sends Hope over the edge again, thereby releasing her power and (possibly) killing Emma. Imagine that?!
 
What are your thoughts/predictions on what will happen?

Bump!

@RainEffect: I've read both of them. Some of my favorite Uncanny issues in a good long while.

I'm actually not sure what'll happen. I have a slight feeling that the PF will momentarily possess her when Emma tries to kill her, but that may not happen. We know that Emma's scared of Hope anyways.

HOLY CRAP!!!!

NORTH FACE JACKETS!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly.

Jean will intervine lmao just because she spontaneously appears and helps emma XD

bu yea hope will wake up just in time and have a mild PF moment or someone like cyclops will stop her

final option, colossus stops juggernaut and that breaks the hold on emma

Starts a chant; 
"Kill her. 
Kill her!
KILL her!
KILL HER! 
KILL HOPE!"

I wouldn't mind her death. She's an insipid character anyway. Hell, now they have Scarlet Witch back. She could basically take the place of Hope Summers and no one would notice.

@RainEffect: Can't stand her. I hate all Jean Greys, because they're just God Mode Sues, and Hope is no exception. I tried liking her for DH's sake, but she's just awful. She's arrogant, boring, overpowered, and a complete brat. She's early-Kara from Supergirl all over again.

I think Hope has come along way since her introduction. Sure, she's not the most original character out there, but it's clear that the X-Men writers are trying to develop her character further. Here's hoping she's be less of a "God Mode Sue" next year.

As for her fate, I honestly feel that the whole Emma Frost possession thing is filler. As fun as it is watching the X-Men try to stop Juggs (again), it hardly makes for four issues. Has it even been explained why going into Juggerkuurth's head made her freak out? Still, it's been a great arc, and certainly my favourite Fear Itself tie-in.

Well said.

@The Dark Huntress: Why thankyou!

@FadeToBlackBolt: and @RainEffect: As the only tie-in that I've read for Fear Itself and the core -story, I do find this one to actually be decent. I'm not a fan of the character herself but her resolve in Schism as of late has been pretty cool. I do like the idea of her as a legacy character in the vein of Cable. If anything I do respect her being able to put aside her personal feelings towards Scott and acting for the better good cause let's face it; I think that it's pretty clear that not everyone is going to like Scott. I just think that's the character's fate at this point, however, it does make for interesting story-telling. Her power-set does seem rather obtuse to me, the bratty behavior is off putting, and her costume still hasn't caught on with me, though, I feel that there's still a lot to be done with her. She has piqued my interest even if only remotely.

At least the writers didn't do the typical thing and team her up with Wolverine...I may not like Hope but I like to believe that she can do better than joining Logan's ever-growing legion of teenage girls.@_@

I had not read any comics in probably 15 years. Then one day while surfing the net I saw something about the old X-Men animated show that was on when I was a kid and that got me thinking about what was happening in the X-Men world since I stopped buying (which was shortly after AoA). That is when I found out about Hope and her trilogy. I have to say that I really enjoyed all three parts (Messiah War was the best for me because all the characters from my childhood were there) and have been buying comics again and will forever attribute that to everyone's not so favorite messiah. I don't know why everyone hates her so much but I would like to see her stick around. As for my theory on her parentage, I have no idea but like many want her not to be Jean in any way.
