When we last saw The Bold and the Beautiful’s Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson), he headed out of Los Angeles with his son, Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri) and headed to Paris. The decision to leave was prompted by Hope (Annika Noelle) turning down his marriage proposal once again, and by prodding from his sister, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).

Many Thope fans have wanted to see Hope and Thomas reunite and figure out where to take their relationship next, but he has been nowhere insight, and so has his portrayer, Matthew Atkinson.

However, in a new report from Soap Hub, their sources indicate that Atkinson will be back on screen next month by mid-June. In a tease, Atkinson posted a photo on his Instagram story (which has since disappeared, since IG story posts only stay up for 24 hours), where he was pointing at a TV screen behind him that showed Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Eric (John McCook) in a scene. No telling the true meaning of that snap, but it could be he is back at the show.

As Hope and Finn (Tanner Novlan) are getting closer, the timing could just work out in the most dramatic way if Thomas were to return. Since Hope and Finn are bonding over their parents, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Deacon’s (Sean Kanan), upcoming nuptials, will the doctor and the designer hit the sheets and Thomas walks in on it?

Now let us know, when Thomas returns do you want to see him reconcile things with Hope, or do you want him back to the obsessed Thomas of the past who hatched plots to get what he wanted? Comment below.

For those lush, epic, romantic, and ominous music scores on CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful, look no further than its mastermind, musical composer, John Nordstrom.

Now, the series has released the second volume of music from the popular daytime drama which features 21 all-new compositions. Many of the themes are from moments in last year’s Italian remote, which saw Hope (Annika Noelle) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) kiss at the Colosseum while Liam (Scott Clifton) looked on, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) finding their way back to each other and more.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Music From the Series Volume 2 also contains musical scores from Eric’s (John McCook) illness, including when Finn (Tanner Novlan) finds a cure to save him, Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) secret, and when Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) reunites with Finn.
