Thomas Forrester first appeared as a baby and is the son of Ridge and Taylor. He became a character on The Bold and the Beautiful in 1998 and has been around since. Viewers have seen him grow, and people describe him as an attractive member of the Forrester family.

Once the show aged him into an adult, Thomas encountered his first love interest. He began dating Caitlyn for a while until their relationship went downhill. Then, he soon got involved with a babysitter named Amber.

One of Thomas’ most notable romantic storylines involves Hope. He develops feelings for her that eventually turn into an obsession. Thomas even stalks her for a while and has a desire to make her his wife. His feelings later lead to the infamous plot point of his having a Hope mannequin.

Thomas also has a son named Douglas, but the child currently lives with Hope. A recent storyline revolves around Thomas trying to get custody of the child. The custody battle could result in increased tension within the Forrester family.

The current actor portraying Thomas is Matthew Atkinson, who joined the cast in 2019. Fans may recognize the star from other shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Of course, he also has been in movies such as The Blind Side.
