Despite Hope's heroic values, her son Adam is considered a monster. During an interview with TV Guide, Coleman talked about what Adam would be like if his mother was alive: "I understand the importance of creating conflict, but that was very sad to me. And it would have devastated Hope and broken her heart! She was such a standup gal with a strong moral compass. If she had lived, she would have been on Adam like white on rice, telling him to straighten up his act and clean up his messes! She'd make him own it!"
