Can The Bold and the Beautiful’s ‘Thope’ Pick Up Where They Left Off?

The Bold and the Beautiful fans have been anxiously waiting for the return of Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) from Paris, and now that he’s back in Los Angeles, it’s clear that there’s unfinished business between him and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). Their complicated history has kept viewers on the edge of their seats, and now, with Thomas’ reappearance, there’s a chance for closure—or perhaps a fresh start.

A Controversial Love Story

Thomas and Hope’s journey to love was far from easy. Their connection was met with disapproval from nearly everyone around them. Thomas’ past obsession with Hope, including his terrifying hallucinations and attempts to manipulate situations (like hiding Baby Beth’s true fate), made him a villain in Hope’s eyes for a long time. However, after discovering that Thomas’ actions were a result of a brain injury, Hope slowly began to forgive him. Their co-parenting relationship over Douglas (Henry Joseph-Samiri) seemed to provide a fresh start, but it wasn’t long before feelings began to resurface.

In 2023, after months of suppressed attraction, Hope kissed Thomas at the Roman Colosseum, a kiss that Liam (Scott Clifton) witnessed, marking the end of Hope and Liam’s marriage. Thomas and Hope’s whirlwind romance followed, but it was short-lived. Hope’s hesitation about marriage, only six months after her divorce from Liam, led to the end of their brief relationship. Thomas, heartbroken, took Douglas and moved to Paris, later surprising Hope with the news of his engagement to Paris Buckingham (Diamond White).

What’s Next for Thomas and Hope?

Since Thomas left for Paris, fans have been left in the dark about his life. Did he marry Paris? Is he still planning a wedding in Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) living room? With Paris’ mother, Grace (Cassandra Creech), returning to the storyline, it’s possible that Paris—and Thomas—could come back into the picture.

Meanwhile, Hope’s life has shifted dramatically. She’s now engaged to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), but her feelings seem to still lie with Liam. Her increasing time spent with Liam, particularly after learning he’ll be staying in town, suggests that Hope’s heart may not be fully invested in her current engagement. Could Thomas’ return force Hope to reevaluate everything, including her feelings for Carter and Liam?

Thomas’ Return: A New Chapter?

As Thomas makes his return to Los Angeles, it’s unclear how Hope will react. Will she rekindle her relationship with Thomas, or will she stick with Carter, who has always been there for her despite the past? And what about Liam? Could Thomas’ return spark new tensions between the love triangle?

With Hope and Thomas’ unresolved chemistry and the lingering feelings they share, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen next. Fans can only hope that this reunion brings the closure they’ve been waiting for—or perhaps opens the door to a new chapter in their complex love story.

Stay tuned, as “Thope” might just pick up right where they left off, or this could be the beginning of a whole new journey for Hope, Thomas, and everyone involved. The Bold and the Beautiful never fails to keep fans guessing!
