‘B&B’ Is Matthew Atkinson Leaving Show?
Viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful have seen Matthew Atkinson as Thomas Forrester for a few years now. While the character has been somewhat absent from the show, some fans suspect the character might not be coming back for a long while. In fact, some suspect that Matthew Atkinson has already left the show.
Matthew Atkinson Joined The Soap Back In 2019
Atkinson first broke into the world of soaps playing Austin Travers on episodes of The Young and the Restless in 2014. Initially playing the part as a recurring character, he was put on contract. The character was killed off early in 2015. However, he still appeared in flashbacks towards the end of the year.
In 2019, Atkinson joined the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful as Thomas Forrester. He notably took on the role from Pierson Fodé, with the character being played by a variety of actors beforehand.
Atkinson made his last appearance on the show in July 2024. However, fans are starting to think he might have left the show.
While there hasn’t been anything officially confirmed concerning Atkinson’s contract for the show, fans think they’ve found an answer on social media.
As noted by Soap Hub, Atkinson appeared to have removed the show from his Instagram bio. However, events on the show have also caused fans to suspect Atkinson has left the series.
Since Atkinson joined the show, Thomas quickly took on an antagonistic role on the role, serving as a threat to Hope and Liam. However, he still proved to be something of a fan favorite.
Some Fans Think Thomas Might Return, But Not Matthew
By 2023, however, Hope and Thomas ended up becoming a couple, with fans hoping they would become a new power couple for the soap.
However, in 2024, Hope ultimately turned down a marriage proposal for Thomas. This caused Thomas to leave for France with his son Douglas.

Despite this, Thomas made his return back in June with the news that he and Paris were now set to marry. Hope attempted to break the engagement, but he and Paris ultimately left the town.
Effectively, some fans suspect this served as a way of giving an end to the character’s story on the show. Of course, it’s entirely possible for the character to return in some way, as characters can often find ways to return in the world of soap operas.
However, it’s also possible that, if Thomas does return, it might not be Atkinson playing him. After all, he wasn’t the first actor to play the character, either. Likewise, soaps are no strangers to recasting characters.
