‘Bold and the Beautiful’: Thomas Rattled as Ridge Falls for RJ’s Attention Seeking

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers hint at Thomas Forrester feeling pushed aside when Ridge Forrester gets pulled in by RJ Forrester‘s attention-seeking next week on the CBS soap. When the prodigal son returns, people find him very charismatic. But B&B spoilers suggest that his need to be in the limelight eventually starts a silent rumbling for his half-brother and a verbal spar with his dad.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ridge Forrester Focuses on RJ Forrester Next Week

B&B spoilers have RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) coming into town like a whirlwind. This son, who’s been gone for so long, ends up grabbing everyone’s attention.

He’s home from school, and he now has some grand plans for his future. But it looks like Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) may not be as enthusiastic about RJ’s goals as his youngest son is.

Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) was the apple of his dad’s eye on Bold and the Beautiful, that is until RJ shows up. So, it sounds like competition in some form bubbles up between the half-siblings.

But just as things start to pan out for Thomas, it looks like RJ becomes someone who could set him back. Still, all doesn’t run smoothly for the son who returns to town. B&B spoilers have him and Ridge not seeing eye to eye on something that pops up soon.

B&B Spoilers: Thomas Forrester Ponders What RJ’s Return Means for Family

Drama is the heartbeat of Bold and the Beautiful. So, it’s probably safe to assume that RJ’s transition home won’t be smooth for all involved. The recent spoilers have Thomas wondering what baggage comes along with his father’s youngest son’s return.

Joshua Hoffman, who shows up this week in his role of RJ, did an interview with Soapssheknows.com. He threw out a few teasers about what B&B fans can expect. For one thing, he sees his character as a lot like his father, Ridge. He’s a likable guy and very family oriented.

But in some areas, they are the total opposite, which soon plays out on The Bold and the Beautiful. Unlike Ridge or even Thomas, for that matter, RJ likes attention… a lot of attention. So as he seeks this limelight, Thomas may find himself watching his father get pulled in by RJ’s antics.

Joshua also hinted that while it’s good to be home, his character is in line for a bit of a row with his dad. It seems this son and Ridge soon won’t see eye-to-eye about something in upcoming B&B episodes.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Thomas’ Half-Brother Has It Made with Ridge?

B&B spoilers suggest that RJ comes home with plans of his own. But Ridge may have high hopes that he join the family business. This might explain why they don’t see eye-to-eye. But maybe Ridge tries to sweeten the pot to entice the youngest Forrester son to change his mind.

It’s what Ridge may offer the free-spirited son as bait to bring him to FC that might irritate Thomas Forrester. Maybe Ridge promises a co-lead designer position.

That’s only if this dad passed down his creative genes to this son as well. But Thomas worked hard to earn that spot at FC. So, if this happens, it may become a cause of friction between Thomas and his dad on Bold and the Beautiful.

Now that it’s clear the returning son likes attention, that might not work when it comes time to collaborate. So, if Ridge puts both sons together working as co-designers this could start a mess for Thomas Forrester. After all, his work is the only area of his life that’s stable right now.

B&B Spoilers: RJ’s Return Stirs the Pot

If RJ gets an offer to work side-by-side with his creative half-brother at FC, he’d likely be welcomed with open arms by Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). While she depends on Thomas Forrester’s creative juices to save her line, RJ is her half-brother too.

But the lead dressmaker may see this half-brother’s attention-seeking ways start to show up in their designs. So, this could conjure up a bit of the old Thomas. He may dig into that dark place again to find a way to fix this interference if this happens on Bold and Beautiful.

This bout of sparring between Ridge and his youngest son that’s about to surface could be over anything. But it’s likely due to what this prodigal son has planned for his future that ruffles Ridge’s feathers.

His father’s goals for him may not be his goals at all. So, an offer to work at FC might be this dad’s attempt at enticing his son into the family business.

The B&B spoilers have Thomas Forrester wondering what RJ Forrester’s return means for the family, both at work and at home.

So, it’s likely Ridge Forrester fast-tracks the returning son into a position that the other son had to climb the ladder to achieve. But if this is the case, then drama continues with twists and turns with this homecoming on the CBS soap.
