This week’s slow-burning storyline involves Thomas on The Bold and the Beautiful. We’re happy to have him back, but not like this. Most viewers were holding out hope for a #Thope reunion. Thomas confessed to Ridge that he hasn’t been doing well since losing his fiancée and his job. He’s depending on Ridge to keep him on the sane path, which doesn’t bode well for this character.

Check Yourself

Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) is back at Forrester Creations. But he’s not there to work. He’s there to check in on Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and to set him straight. He wants to make sure that his father will follow through on his promise to marry Taylor (Rebecca Budig).

Sadly, Thomas doesn’t have anything else going for him right now. He ended his engagement to Paris (Diamond White) after he found out that his mother was scamming Liam (Scott Clifton) and Bill (Don Diamont) out of a million dollars. He’s also not working as a designer anymore, which leaves him at a crossroads.

Needless to say, Thomas isn’t doing well. He demanded that his father keep their family together since it’s all he has at the moment. Knowing that his family will stay together will keep him happy. However, Ridge is still in love with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), which could spell trouble for everyone involved.

Burning Hatred For Brooke

We know that Thomas hates Brooke, and the feeling is mutual. But his hatred runs deeper. He blames her for making his father leave his family for her. This puts Ridge into a difficult spot. He’s not sure whether he should stay with Taylor or mark his “destiny” with Brooke.

Ridge might marry Taylor just to satisfy his son. But then, he could have a moment of weakness, which could lead to the ultimate family betrayal. The way that Thomas has been talking lately has us wondering whether he’s going to go down the deep end again. This time, he could hurt Brooke and Hope (Annika Noelle).

This will make Hope realize how dangerous Thomas is. And then she’ll want nothing to do with him ever again, leading to a “Lope” reunion. As we know, Liam has been adamant about getting his family back together. And nothing will stop him, not even Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor). But it’s Thomas who can take things to a dark and dangerous place despite fans wanting him to stay out of his parents’ business. Hopefully, Ridge and Taylor will notice the red flags before it’s too late.
