BREAKING NEWS!!! The Secret’s Out! Matthew Atkinson Returns to ‘The Bold and the Beautiful

Matthew Atkinson got fans excited last week when he shared a snap of himself watching The Bold & the Beautiful, and it turns out this was likely more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

According to SoapHub.com, Atkinson is returning to the long-running soap opera in mid-June to reprise the role of Thomas Forrester.

Viewers last saw Thomas in March, when he left Los Angeles for Paris, taking his son Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri) with him.

The character’s exit came after long-time love interest Hope (Annika Noelle) turned down his marriage proposal once again.

With some encouragement from his sister, Steffi (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Thomas decided to leave LA and head abroad for a fresh start.

Many fans will be hoping to see Thomas and Hope rekindle their romance, but the timing could prove awkward, to say the least.

In recent episodes, Hope has been growing closer to Finn (Tanner Novlan), with the pair bonding over their parents, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Deacon’s (Sean Kanan), upcoming nuptials. Could we have a love triangle on our hands?

There are currently no plot details regarding Thomas’ return nor any information on why Atkinson took time off from the show.
