Thomas Forrester’s Return and Revenge Plans

Big drama is brewing on The Bold and the Beautiful, as Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) makes his much-anticipated return in September 2025. Fans are speculating about what his comeback could mean, especially in the wake of recent emotional turmoil surrounding his mother, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), and the ongoing love triangle with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).

Will Thomas seek revenge on Brooke for his mother’s broken heart, or could he become her unexpected ally? Here’s what we can expect from the upcoming drama and Thomas’ pivotal role in the story.

Ridge’s Emotional Struggles

Ridge Forrester is at a crossroads in his personal life. After proposing to Taylor, Ridge seems to have accepted her despite his feelings of guilt surrounding her Broken Heart Syndrome diagnosis. He made a promise to Taylor that he would never hurt her again, yet his feelings for Brooke are undeniable.

While Ridge has expressed love for both women, his conflicting emotions will only escalate in the coming weeks. Brooke’s ongoing presence in Ridge’s life, especially after he rescued her in Italy, complicates matters. His guilt over not being upfront with Taylor about his true feelings for Brooke only adds to the stress.

Taylor’s Emotional Manipulation

Taylor, ever the compassionate character, has finally found a measure of happiness with Ridge. But her happiness is built on fragile ground. As Ridge struggles with his feelings, Taylor is playing the emotional card, reminding him of their future together and their “wonderful family.” Her persistent pleas for commitment, coupled with Kelly Spencer (Sophia Paras)’s excitement about her grandparents’ wedding, leave Ridge with a heavy emotional burden.

As Ridge keeps his true feelings locked away, Taylor pushes for their wedding to be set in stone, making it even harder for Ridge to make a clean break—if he even wants to. But is this pressure Taylor’s strategy to ensure Ridge never strays back to Brooke?

Thomas Returns—Is He Team Taylor or Ready for Revenge?

The spoilers indicate that Thomas will be returning to Los Angeles just as tensions reach a boiling point between Ridge, Taylor, and Brooke. This raises a crucial question: What will Thomas’ role be in the Taylor-Ridge-Brooke saga?

Could he take advantage of his mother’s emotional state and work with Taylor to manipulate the situation in their favor? With his longstanding animosity toward Brooke, Thomas may see this as an opportunity to finally get back at the woman he blames for his past troubles.
