Thomas Forrester is back on The Bold and the Beautiful<\/em><\/a>. As Ridge and Taylor\u2019s oldest child is wont to do, he\u2019s already ruffling feathers. If you\u2019re new to the soap or need a refresher on B&B\u2019s reformed \u201cbad boy,\u201d let Soap Hub<\/em> get you up to speed. There\u2019s a reason Brooke is wary of his return, and Ridge is worried the end of his relationship with Taylor could spell trouble for his son.<\/p>\n When Matthew Atkinson took on the role of Thomas, the B&B writers decided to take a darker turn with the character. He\u2019d come home in 2019 after the death of Caroline Spencer (Linsey Godfrey), his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri).<\/p>\n Suddenly, a single father of a grieving five-year-old, Thomas, was looking for support from his family. He got it in spades, but it was Hope (Annika Noelle) who he leaned on the most. Her daughter, Beth, was stillborn, and she found herself growing closer to Douglas in her grief.<\/p>\n In spite of her marriage to Liam (Scott Clifton), Thomas\u2019 attachment to Hope grew before twisting into an obsession. One that led him to withhold the truth about the night Beth was born. It turned out that Dr. Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady)\u2014in need of fast cash in order to keep bookies from harming his daughter, Zoe (Kiara Barnes)\u2014stole Beth and put together a scheme to lure Thomas\u2019 sister, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), into adopting the baby.<\/p>\n Initially, Thomas was going to tell the truth. Then, he realized staying quiet meant he wouldn\u2019t break Steffy\u2019s heart, and he could keep Hope in his life. However, the truth did come out. He schemed, threatened, inadvertently killed Emma (A Forrester intern played by Nia Sioux), and manipulated Hope into marrying him, but it was Douglas who told the truth.<\/p>\n Finding out Beth was alive, and Thomas knew about it, ended his marriage to Hope. But their connection through Douglas has kept the two bonded for years.<\/p>\n For most of his run, the mental health of Atkinson\u2019s Thomas has been a chief concern for the Forresters. It\u2019s also been a source of tension between Thomas\u2019 father, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and Hope\u2019s mother, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). The on-and-off again romance between their parents has suffered bumps along the way due to Thomas and Hope\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n Brooke pushed Thomas off a cliff when she thought he was going after Hope. And, when Hope thought she inadvertently killed Thomas when he fell off a balcony into what she thought was a vat of acid, Brooke told her to stay quiet about it. Brooke has also suggested that Thomas get help at a psychiatric facility rather than treatment through his mother.<\/p>\n But it wasn\u2019t just his obsession with Hope that had Brooke up in arms. Thomas has never been shy about his opinion of Brooke and Ridge\u2019s relationship (Bridge). He wants his parents to rekindle their romance and blames Brooke for his father walking away from their family when he was a child. Given the opportunity, Thomas has exploited the cracks in Bridge\u2019s bond to serve his own ends, like the time he pretended Brooke called CPS on him over cutting an apple with a knife in front of Douglas.<\/p>\n As for Steffy, the two siblings have butted heads over the years. But they\u2019re fiercely loyal to one another. She assumed guardianship of Douglas during Hope and Thomas\u2019 custody battle over him, allowing her nephew to sort through his complicated feelings about his parents. Steffy was also the catalyst for Thomas\u2019 departure after the romance he\u2019d dreamed of with Hope fell apart.<\/p>\n After years of steadily growing closer due to co-parenting and working together on Hope for the Future, Hope and Thomas\u2019 (Thope) controversial relationship sparked into a romance. However, given Hope\u2019s marriage to Liam, it came at a price.<\/p>\n Thomas\u2019 feelings for Hope had never wavered. Therapy helped him get a hold of his impulses, but the love beneath the obsession remained. As he proved to her that he was in a healthier place, Hope became attracted to Thomas. She\u2019d never completely given up on the possibility that he could change and seeing it shifted how she felt about him.<\/p>\n Her inconvenient feelings led to fights with Liam and moments of lashing out toward Brooke. But, no matter how much she pushed them down, they rose to the surface in Rome. The successful launch of their collection moved Hope to kiss Thomas in front of the Coliseum. While the moment opened the door for Thope, it ended Hope and Liam\u2019s marriage.<\/p>\n Liam left Hope. In her anger, she decided to pursue a romance with Thomas. Everyone, but Ridge and Eric, was against it. No one wanted to see Thomas become obsessed again if Hope broke up with him. And there was genuine concern that Hope would never love Thomas the way he wants. However, Hope did fall in love with Thomas. It just wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n Freshly divorced, Hope wasn\u2019t ready to accept Thomas\u2019 proposal. Initially, he\u2019d allowed her time to think about it, settling for her wearing his ring on a necklace. But when he proposed again and got the same answer, he ended things. Steffy told him that he needed to find his dignity and stop waiting around for a woman who wasn\u2019t going to love him the way he deserved.<\/p>\n He listened to his sister and decided he was going to head to Paris, taking Douglas with him.<\/p>\n Prior to September 2\u2019s episode of B&B<\/a>, Thomas had returned to LA to announce his engagement to Paris Buckingham (Diamond White). But it was short-lived.<\/p>\n Viewers now know the relationship met its end due to her mother, Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech), tricking Liam into believing he was dying so she could extort his father, Bill (Don Diamont), for a million-dollar miracle surgery.<\/p>\n Feeling despondent and lonely, Thomas is back in town for the comfort of family while Douglas spends time with friends in the South of France. Learning of the fragile nature of his parents\u2019 engagement was not what he expected. While romance hasn\u2019t worked out for him, Thomas refuses to let it slip through Ridge and Taylor\u2019s fingers. Hence, he put Brooke on notice.<\/p>\n But Thomas\u2019 focus on his parents\u2019 pending nuptials does have Ridge worried that a break-up could shatter his son. Darkness seems to be waiting around the bend for Thomas on B&B. One push, one trigger could mean the revival of the designer\u2019s villainy on the soap.<\/p>\n WATCH THIS:<\/strong>\u00a0Soap Hub Says<\/em>\u00a0unpacks the week\u2019s soap buzz<\/a>.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported on Soap Hub<\/a> on September 8, 2025.
