Bold and the Beautiful is finally bringing back Thomas Forrester but with a twist. Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Matthew Atkinson is set to return to the show, likely with his on-screen son, Henry Samiri (Douglas Forrester).
But a recent spoiler photo sends "Thope" fans into a frenzy as it looks like Thomas returns as a completely changed man. What does this mean for Hope?
Bold and the Beautiful: Thomas and Douglas Come Home
Looks like the long wait is over for Thomas Forrester's fans, as the dashing designer is making a comeback this week. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say he's returning on June 21 and tagging along a couple of familiar faces.
A supposed spoiler photo shows Thomas with his son, Douglas, and Paris Buckingham back in LA. While Thomas and Douglas' return was somewhat expected, Paris' arrival certainly surprised many.
Eagle-eyed fans even spotted what appeared to be a big rock on Paris' finger, suggesting that she recently got engaged or married. Bold and the Beautiful fans quickly assume that Thomas has finally moved on from Hope and that Paris is his new ladylove.
Perhaps the designer found solace in Ms. Buckingham amid his heartbreak, which brought them closer. Maybe Thomas proposed to or even married Paris in Europe, putting an end to "Thope" once and for all.
Thomas' Big Change in His Life?
The idea of Thomas Forrester getting serious with Paris Buckingham isn't surprising at all. Bold and the Beautiful star Matthew Atkinson recently teased that his character "has had one particular very large change in his life since he left town," which is something that shocks everyone when he comes back.
Does this big change involve Paris? Did he just return as an engaged or married man?
It's no secret that Thomas once had feelings for Paris, too, so falling for her again isn't entirely impossible. Of course, it's also a possibility that Thomas is only using her as a rebound. After all, his strong feelings for Hope aren't likely to go away just like that.
Bold and the Beautiful: Thomas Moves on From Hope?
Still, seeing Paris Buckingham with Thomas Forrester will likely hit Hope Logan hard. She's been his muse for the longest time and is confident that no one could ever take her place.
But all that may change now that Paris is back in the picture. Plus, Hope's inappropriate feelings for Finn are sure to make the situation worse for "Thope." Not to mention, the ongoing conflict between the Forresters and Logans.
At this point, it seems Thomas and Hope are better off without each other. Can they fight the feeling, though?
