‘Bold and the Beautiful’: Thomas Falters as Half-Brother Returns – Steals Limelight

Bold and the Beautiful throws Thomas Forrester a curveball as his half-brother returns home next week on the CBS soap. Just as he excels at Forrester Creations, which rebuilds his father’s pride in him, it looks like his little brother takes the air out of his sails. B&B spoilers say Thomas contemplates what the return of RJ Forrester means to the family. But more importantly, what will this mean for Thomas?

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Thomas Forrester Pushed Aside?

Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) seems to be on an upswing as he puts his life back in order. He still has a way to go with several people when it comes to regaining their trust. But so far,  it looks promising this time around.

One of his biggest hurdles on Bold and the Beautiful so far was getting his dad, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), to believe in him again. So, just as he’s bonding with his father in the aftermath of his dirty deed, it looks like Ridge focuses his attention elsewhere.

It looks like Ridge now has another son to dote on this week on B&B.  RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) returns from Europe, where he’s been in school.  He is the son of Ridge and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).

It sounds like this youngest son is all grown up. So, when he hits town next week, he returns home with great aspirations for his future. But it looks like Thomas Forrester’s half-brother may impede on his territory. Not to mention, this likely changes the family dynamics just a bit.

B&B Spoilers: Thomas on Outside Looking in at RJ Forrester?

Last week on Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke and Ridge took a trip down memory lane featuring RJ’s adorable antics as a child. They reminisced about how he made breakfast in bed for them. So, the soap set the foundation for RJ’s return. They made it clear that he comes home to a doting mother and proud father.

B&B fans think RJ is about to steal two of Thomas’ closest confidants away from him. This Forrester sibling is also Hope Logan‘s (Annika Noelle) half-brother as well. She may be so thrilled to spend time with him, leaving her lead designer feeling left out.

Although, some fans predict that RJ finds Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) enticing. So, just maybe there’s a new love interest in the future for her.

But this time she could find a guy without any hidden agendas. But who knows, RJ has been away from home for such a long time, there’s no telling how B&B will paint him into the soap’s canvas.

Still, this could be a problem for Thomas, who seems to depend on Paris to keep all his secrets. She even kept his address under wraps when he was on the outs with everyone on Bold and the Beautiful.  He had secretly moved in with her.

So, Thomas’ half-brother will have his father’s attention and soon, possibly Hope Logan and Paris Buckingham’s attention as well. This would leave this Forrester son on the outside looking in.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: RJ Forrester Has New Direction

B&B spoilers say RJ has some ideas of his own, but that’s about as far as it goes with spoilers for the other son arriving this week. Now that he’s a young man, it’s possible he wants to carve out a career of his own.

So, what Bold and the Beautiful has in store for the younger Forrester son is unknown. Although it looks as if Thomas worries about what the return of his father’s other son means to the family.

Even though Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) looks almost convinced that Brooke will keep their pact, the game now likely changes.

With RJ back home, for sure Ridge will gravitate toward his “other family,” which means he spends a lot of time with Brooke. This leaves Thomas worried that his mom loses out once again.

Not only does he worry that his father will go back to Brooke. But this time around, he worries that his mother will lose her new best friend.

B&B Spoilers: Thomas Gets Cold Shoulder?

When RJ Forrester returns, his parents are no longer married. He will want to know just how this happened. This rehashes Thomas’ part in breaking up Ridge and Brooke.

So, it’s likely RJ won’t have a kind reception for his half-brother when they meet again face to face. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers hint that the arrival of the youngest Forrester son might be the restart of  Brook’s destiny with Ridge.

FC’s lead designer may find that his half-brother is as invested in putting his parents back together as he was in pulling them apart. Some B&B fans see this son possibly wanting a place in the dressmaking world.

Soon, the Forrester family sees the return of the prodigal son. But it looks as if Thomas takes a back seat. Staying true to his word of not interfering ever again might not be easy.

That means he can only sit back and watch if his half-sibling’s return pushes his father to the woman he worked so hard to get out of his dad’s life.

Then there’s the FC piece. Will RJ show the same flare for talent that his older half-brother has? If so, only time will tell if Thomas Forrester keeps that promise or reverts back to his manipulative ways on the CBS soap.
