Daring and the Lovely has Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) again this week and all fueled up and able to get again to work at Forrester Creations. Extra particularly, it seems like he’s being pushed again in the direction of Hope for the Future. However is that only a false begin?
We’re going to speak about why Matt Atkinson may be in and again out as Thomas reasonably than again to the CBS cleaning soap for good.
Let’s dive into why he might not keep and why I actually fear that Matt Atkinson’s return may very well arrange his everlasting exit from Daring and the Lovely.
Is Matt Atkinson’s Daring and the Lovely Return as Thomas Solely Non permanent?
All proper, so we lately talked about that he was again taping once more for brand spanking new Thomas scenes and would doubtless be again across the time for Christmas episodes. When Casey Kasprzyk posted about Matt Atkinson’s return, he stated he was again filming for every week, singular. Except he was fibbing, that’s every week.
That’s sufficient time to movie just a few episodes, however that’s not a complete return. That’s the primary crimson flag that Thomas is probably not staying. In the latest preview for Daring and the Lovely, we noticed Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wooden), and Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) with Thomas within the Forrester Creations showroom.
And he’s pointing on the runway, saying he must be there. Not as a mannequin, clearly. Though, Matt Atkinson is actually sizzling sufficient, however how the designer poses on the finish of the present subsequent to the showstopper. We’ve seen Ridge up there with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). We’ve additionally seen Thomas up there with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) on the finish of a Hope for the Future runway present.
Hope’s Reluctance on B&B: Why She Doesn’t Need Thomas Again on Her Line
In fact, Steffy and Ridge are thrilled about this. They each need Thomas again at FC. However Hope doesn’t need Thomas again on her line for a few huge causes. One, Hope doesn’t need to work along with her ex-boyfriend that carefully, particularly not when she cheated on Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) with Thomas and ruined her marriage. Hope simply remarried Liam, so she doesn’t need issues along with her fortunately ever after.
The second factor is that Hope desires to maintain working along with her brother Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) on Hope for the Future, and he or she seems like they’ve acquired an excellent factor going. However this week, Steffy lets Hope know that her private emotions about Thomas won’t issue into Steffy’s enterprise selections. With Ridge and Steffy each wanting him again at Forrester Creations, that appeared like a touch that, “Oh, okay. Thomas is coming again long-term. Cool.”
Hope & Steffy at Odds once more on Daring and the Lovely
This week, we’re going to listen to about Steffy wanting Thomas again on Hope’s line and that she is able to hearth Deke to make room for Thomas. It’s simple to see why Hope (Annika Noelle) could be uncomfortable working with Thomas. I’m positive Brooke would perceive it. Nonetheless, recently, Hope’s mother has been standing by and watching issues occur that she actually shouldn’t, like Ridge sidelining her sister Katie Logan (Heather Tom).
I can see Brooke rationalizing no matter choice Ridge makes about Thomas and the place he’s assigned, particularly since Brooke and Thomas buried the hatchet over the summer time. Brooke doesn’t need to rock the boat as a result of she’s so completely satisfied to have Ridge again, and I feel she goes to let everyone else fall by the wayside to maintain her relationship going.
Poor Deke. He’s contemporary out of design faculty and he acquired employed at Forrester Creations. He acquired his dream job, and now as a result of Thomas waltzed again in, Steffy simply desires to kick Deke apart so Thomas can have his previous place again. So, Hope’s going to attempt to argue to save lots of Deke’s position, however it doesn’t appear like she’s going to sway Steffy. It appears like her thoughts’s made up.
A Strategic Transfer on Daring? How Thomas’s Return Might Launch a Rival Trend Home
What I’m questioning is that if Thomas’s return is simply to arrange an enormous change that can feed into the Katie Logan style home storyline. I feel Brad Bell may need Thomas again only for the brief time period to pressure a pivot, and Hope makes an enormous choice that units the stage for Thomas’s everlasting exit.
One other crimson flag on that is that Brad Bell has proven his unwillingness to have Thomas again. If Brad Bell actually needed Matt Atkinson again on Daring and the Lovely on contract full-time, he would have already written Thomas again into the storyline. He doesn’t produce other initiatives that we’ve seen.
So, there’s been ample room to carry him again, even when Thomas wasn’t concerned with Hope, however Brad Bell hasn’t performed it. So, right here’s why I think that Matt Atkinson may be out and in. It could possibly be that Thomas is again simply to reopen the rift between Hope and Steffy and trigger issues.
Confronted with working with Thomas, seeing her brother Deacon fired, and being below Steffy’s thumb, Hope might stroll out. Katie goes to wish workers for her new style home, so I think Hope and Deke depart Forrester Creations and go over with Katie.
I feel Matt Atkinson got here again only for Thomas to be the instigator to make that occur, the factor that forces her hand to altering her future. In any other case, I don’t assume Hope would go away FC.
The Final Energy Play: Will Steffy’s Choice Push Hope to Depart FC?
If Hope walks away with Hope for the Future, or if she abandons it and begins a brand new devoted line over at Katie’s style home, nicely, that would go away Thomas with no line once more as a result of they’ll’t have Hope for the Future with out Hope. It sounds just like the plan for Steffy and Ridge was, “Yeah, we’ll put Thomas again on Hope’s line. She’ll be fortunate to have him. It’ll be a win-win. It’ll blow up huge prefer it did earlier than.”
I may completely see a world the place Steffy pushes Hope to the purpose the place she says, “You already know what? I can’t do it and received’t do it. I’m not going to place my marriage in danger.” And she or he walks out. Then Thomas might have to return to Paris as a result of he’s acquired no line to work on, and Matt Atkinson is out once more. That might additionally clarify why Casey Kasprzyk stated Matt Atkinson was solely filming for every week.
Lots of followers actually need Thomas again, and never simply short-term, however again to remain. I’m a fan of the character. Not the creepy stuff he did, however the extra reformed model of him. But when he’s simply coming again to trigger issues and drive Hope away, that stinks. It doubly stinks as a result of it seems like they’re going to have Steffy and Hope again to their previous rivalry, not over Liam this time, however over Hope for the Future and Thomas. And people two undoubtedly know the right way to combat one another.
Constructing a New Empire: Katie’s Trend Home and the Way forward for Forrester Creations
This week, Katie makes her choice to depart Forrester Creations as a result of she’s been disregarded. In accordance with B&B spoilers, she advised Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), Ridge, and Brooke that she is completely shocked they made all these plans with the skin public relations agency with out even having a dialog with Katie, who’s the pinnacle of PR at FC.
So, when she goes again to Invoice Spencer (Don Diamont) and tells him what’s occurring, in fact, he’s going to say, “That is the signal. Stop and do your personal factor. Begin your style home, Katie.” Thomas’ return, in fact, units the stage for Hope to affix Katie together with Deke. And I’m sure Eric Forrester (John McCook) goes to wind up at Katie’s rival home as her lead designer.
And yeah, Thomas may stick round and work on couture, however I really feel like with all these crimson flags that he’s doubtless leaving once more. I’d hate to see Matt Atkinson in after which out once more as Thomas, however there are all these indicators that that is only a drive-by that Brad Bell has performed with Matt Atkinson. We’ll know extra by the top of this week.
Brad Bell used him again this summer time to deal with the entire Brooke and Ridge factor and them getting married proper after he dumped Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). And since Jacqui Wooden was out on maternity depart, they introduced Matt Atkinson again simply to bury the hatchet and say, “Oh, it’s cool,” regardless that that didn’t make any sense and wasn’t very soapy. I feel they may be utilizing him once more.
