Hope Manning-Thornhart (born Hope Manning McBain, formerly Chloe Victoria Brennan) is a fictional character who originated on the ABC Daytime soap opera One Life to Live. She is the daughter of Cole Thornhart and Starr Manning, born on-screen on November 6, 2008 at Llanview Hospital. Tess, Madeline and Molly Sullivan played the role from 2008 until the One Life to Live series finale on January 13, 2012. Caitlyn Buton played Hope as a guest appearance on General Hospital on February 24, 27, and 28, 2012. On June 21, 2012, Cheyanna Prelesnik played the ghost of Hope on General Hospital.[1]

When Starr uncovers her pregnancy in late summer 2008, she arranges for the child to be adopted by Marcie McBain, but Starr's estranged father Todd blackmails her doctor into agreeing to pretend the child dies so that he can raise the baby himself. Todd has a change of heart and calls off the plan after Hope is born. However, Starr's cousin Jessica Buchanan, under the influence of her alternate personality "Bess," switches Hope with Jessica's own newborn daughter, who had been stillborn the same day. Jessica reemerges not realizing that her newborn daughter is Starr's child, and Starr's family mourn the loss of the baby they believe is hers. The baby's headstone gives her name as Hope Manning McBain. The secret of the switch comes out in May 2009; Jessica finally remembers what happened,and tearfully returns the baby on June 5, 2009. Starr and Cole have a brief reunion with Hope before they hand her over to a grateful Marcie and her husband, Michael McBain. After overhearing Starr talking about her regrets, Marcie returns Hope to Starr on June 15, 2009. Hope's godparents are Markko Rivera and Langston Wilde.

In September 2009, Cole is working undercover for the police; Starr and Hope are kidnapped by Russian mobsters on orders from Mayor Lowell. They are rescued by Brody Lovett. In October 2010, Hope and Starr are kidnapped by Elijah Clarke but escape, only to be kidnapped again by Hannah O'Connor. They later escape her as well. When Cole goes to prison, Hope experiences nightmares and has trouble accepting Starr's new boyfriend James into her life. When the real Todd Manning returns, Starr is thrilled. She introduces him to Hope, who he nicknames 'Peanut'.

On February 24, 2012, Hope and her parents are driving through Port Charles, New York when Anthony Zacchara crashes into their car when his tires are shot out by Johnny Zacchara. Starr is able to get out of the car, but Hope and Cole are trapped inside when it topples over a cliff and explodes. They are presumed to have died among unrecognizable remains.[2] On June 21, 2012, Hope appears as a seven-year-old ghost to Johnny Zacchara. Template:-
