Daring and the Lovely Welcomes Again Matthew Atkinson as Thomas Forrester
We’re going to speak about some main couple shakeups which will occur. These could also be triggered by Thomas’s return and different current occasions.
All proper, so superb information—it’s confirmed. Matthew Atkinson is again. He’s filming at Daring and the Lovely as Thomas Forrester. Right here’s a take a look at pictures of him taking part in cornhole on the new studio the place B&B has moved to shoot.
With Matt Atkinson again filming, which means he’s going to be on air in about three to 5 weeks. So it will likely be September, little doubt. Followers are thrilled. I do know I’m thrilled. All people’s been demanding to know, “The place’s Thomas Forrester? When’s he going to be again?”
B&B Spoilers: Will Thomas Forrester’s Return Be Quick or Lengthy Time period?
With Matt Atkinson’s character returning, you understand, this will go one among two methods—brief time period or long run. Let’s speak about these prospects. The worst-case state of affairs, truthfully, is Thomas comes again with Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) simply lengthy sufficient for them to get married on the Forrester Mansion. Then Thomas leaves LA once more with Paris, and the exit is everlasting.
Simply because they’re making an enormous deal out of him coming again, I don’t belief Brad Bell. I’ll simply say that. When you bear in mind, Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) was introduced again for closure lengthy sufficient at hand over the keys to the seaside home and say, “Oh, I’m off to stay my finest life out of LA.” They introduced Darin Brooks again for closure to wrap issues up in a neat little bow, after which they wrote him out.
Daring and the Lovely Historical past: Followers Anxious About Thomas Forrester’s Destiny
That may stink if that’s what they’re doing with Matt Atkinson as a result of followers have been ready on Thomas to return again. The very best-case state of affairs is Matt Atkinson is again on contract as Thomas and he’s sticking round. If that’s the case, that’s going to vary lots of issues for a lot of characters. One factor is for certain—Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) can be completely thrown for a loop when Thomas returns.
By the best way, Diamond White has proven no indicators that she is returning. She’s on different initiatives. That doesn’t imply she’s not again for one or two episodes to get married to Thomas after which go away. However long run, Diamond White is busy with different initiatives, simply by the best way.

Hope Logan, Carter Walton, and Paris Buckingham within the B&B Love Combine
Quite a bit has occurred in Hope’s life throughout Thomas’ absence. Hope is engaged to Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). She’s on this emotional curler coaster with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). Don’t overlook Thomas, so far as we all know, is engaged to Grace’s daughter Paris Buckingham.
So the psycho physician that scammed Liam Spencer is ready to be a step-grandma to Hope Logan’s son, Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri). We additionally need to marvel, is Henry Joseph Samiri again as Douglas Forrester? There’s no affirmation on that both.
I assume that we’re going to see father and son. Until Thomas is barely again to say, you understand, choose up his mother, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). Taylor is crushed as a result of Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) dumps her, after which Thomas and Taylor go away city once more.
Will Thomas Forrester Go away LA Once more or Stick Round?
That’s a chance for an in-and-out with somewhat little bit of closure. We now have to consider all these items that Brad Bell is likely to be doing to us. That’s one other unhealthy chance—that this can be a flash within the pan and never a long-term return. Little doubt Thomas goes to need to thank Liam Spencer for saving his sister Steffy Forrester’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wooden) life.
I do marvel if we’re going to listen to something about how Paris feels about what her mother Grace did. Additionally, when Thomas returns, Hope Logan might begin to really feel a tingle. Her outdated emotions for Thomas may return if he’s sticking round.
Daring and the Lovely: Thomas, Hope, and Carter: Love Triangle Heating Up?
When you bear in mind, it was really Thomas who dumped Hope as a result of she turned down his proposal. So he could also be shocked to see a hoop on her finger that Carter put there, regardless of them solely having been relationship 5 minutes. I do assume Hope actually cherished Thomas.
I believe Hope would nonetheless be with Thomas now if she might. If he hadn’t left city, when he and Paris got here again. When you bear in mind, Hope Logan tried to get him to dump Paris Buckingham and reunite along with her. I’d be shocked if Hope Logan didn’t have some huge emotions about Thomas return. Which means Carter must be nervous, particularly if Paris isn’t again with Thomas.
B&B Predictions: Will Hope Logan Reunite with Thomas Forrester?
If Thomas comes again single, reveals his engagement to Paris is over, and is staying in LA, Hope might need to be with Thomas once more. She may discover herself drawn proper again in. That may be one couple shakeup that might result in one other.
Carter may drift over to Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire), who’s again within the combine now. The timing on all that is very fascinating. I might even see Daphne and Thomas conspiring to separate up Carter and Hope. I’d completely be all the way down to see a scheme like that on Daring and the Lovely .
Carter Walton, Daphne Rose, and Ivy Forrester Stir Drama
Everyone knows Thomas generally is a unhealthy boy at instances. If he’s coming again for Hope, I might see him plotting with Daphne. Let’s be actual, Thomas ought to know Daphne as a result of she is excellent pals along with his sister Steffy. It will make whole sense. When you bear in mind, Daphne Rose first got here to LA as a result of Steffy requested her to return cut up Carter and Hope up.
So this time it could possibly be Thomas conspiring with Daphne Rose. There are sparks between Carter and Daphne. I really feel like Hope nonetheless has a spot for Thomas in her coronary heart. Additionally, there are a ton of Thope shippers on the market who would like to see Hope reunite with Thomas. It will be nice for rankings.
Daring and the Lovely: Liam Spencer, Ivy Forrester, and B&B’s Romantic Twists
In fact, Hope has gotten nearer to Liam Spencer extra in current days. However Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) is head over heels in love with Liam and desires to rekindle with him. I’m betting Ivy goes to see Liam quickly and tells him how she feels. Ivy, after all, goes to be floored to listen to the entire Grace faking Liam’s mind most cancers factor.
So we might see Liam and Ivy sparking. Hope might lean in the direction of Liam. however I believe he might lean in the direction of Ivy. She could possibly be within the combine. Thomas is again, so we might have a three- or four-way couple swap, which might be very fascinating.
B&B Couple Shakeups: Hope, Carter, Liam, Ivy & Daphne
In fact, Hope continues to be engaged to Carter, a minimum of for now. Do you believe you studied Thomas’ return might throw issues out of whack for Hope, Liam, Carter, Ivy, and Daphne? Except for rearranging love pursuits, Thomas has one other subject to deal with when he’s in LA.
He must confront his dad, Ridge Forrester, about breaking his mother Taylor’s coronary heart as soon as once more by going again to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). Thomas goes to be upset along with his dad, Ridge Forrester. We all know Steffy’s going to be actually upset, too. Thomas must be again in LA somewhat earlier than Steffy returns.
Jacqueline MacInnes Wooden is at present on maternity go away after having her fifth baby. She hasn’t but confirmed the start, however she’s well past her due date. Usually, she doesn’t let individuals know till a number of weeks after she’s had the child. She must be again someday in September—like late September, possibly early October.
Steffy Forrester’s Return and What’s Subsequent on B&B
When Steffy is again, she’s not going to love it that Ridge broke his promise to her that he would by no means break her mother Taylor’s coronary heart once more. But that’s precisely what he’s doing this week, except they drag it into subsequent week. I do suspect there’s tons of drama far and wide when Thomas returns.
I’m simply actually hoping this isn’t Brad Bell bringing again Matt Atkinson for only a sizzling minute to tie off unfastened ends earlier than they write him out completely like they did with Wyatt. So right here’s hoping Thomas is again for good. We’ll let you understand extra once we discover out if he’s on contract or if it’s a drive-by.
