Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor’s (Hunter Tylo) son, Thomas Forrester is on his way back to the canvas, and the CBS daytime drama series has put out a casting call to find the next man to play the role.
According to Daytime Confidential, in the casting breakdown that was circulated, the show commented that it is looking for someone to play the contract role who has “Strong credits only.”
B&B viewers know that the last actor to play Thomas was Pierson Fodé, who was extremely popular in the role. Pierson played the part from 2015-2017.
So, time for you to put your casting director hats on and let us know, who would you like to see play Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) brother on The Bold and the Beautiful? Anyone with previous daytime, or from primetime television experience, that you think fits the bill?
Share your thoughts for who should be the new Thomas via the comment section below.
Only thing I have to say is that I am sad that Pierson Fode isn’t coming back…
I agree
Me too
Drew was excellent. I’d like to see him back. I hope they give him good story to play!
How old is the character supposed to be?
An another triangle for Wyatt . The new actor will be fired in one year! I liked Pierson Fodé! Where are Rick, Deacon, Amber, Deacon Jr, Felicia, Kristen…? I hate Steffy, Liam, Hope, the new interns… This soap is a disaster! BradleyBell has ruined this show with the Spencers. It’s a shame! The Steffy’s show is over for me! Very bad writting! Very bad actors: Scott Clifton, Nia Sioux, JMW… Goodbye!
I do agree with you that B&B seems off the rails. Seems there is frequently hype about a new addition or return only to have it wave in the wind and soon be forgotten. Won’t claim to understand the economics or craft of soap opera writing, but I am disappointed in so many B&B characters with story potential sidelined or forgotten. And plots that endlessly turn on a triangle/quadrangle that lacks romance, passion or commitment to make twists and turn matter. I would like more stories that deal more with the business, the LA culture (Hollywood, politics), and more.
Thank you so much for bringing up Amber. To this day i still get pissed that she just went off the canvas with no mention. Just phased her out after she carried alot of story back in the day.
John Paul Lavoisier
I totally agree he’d make a good Thomas
It literally does not matter who is cast. I wouldn’t wish the role on any of my favorite actors anyway. With the exception of a few core actors, employment on B&B should be considered strictly short term and / or part-time. Plus, the writing is a joke and the repetition is mind numbing. Good luck to the next new Thomas.
Ryan Paevey. No brainier.
I agree
I nominate Michael Rourke. Most of us have seen (quite a lot of him) in Magic Mike, but he played Travis, Victoria’s friend, on Y&R. I liked him a lot, but guess tptb didn’t agree. I think with his hair a little darker, he’d make a good Thomas, if he comes back from N.Y sans Caroline. Can’t stand that girl, who is wearing out her welcome as Emily, on Days.
Adam Gregory needs to come back. He is stunning and the best Thomas. Pierson is a close second.
They should cast me, I am good-looking smooth body and a hot body, but I am busy doing modeling and doing a gay reality show coming next fall on bravo.
Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Good one, Lorenzo.
You are a hottie Lorenzo, I have seen you at the gay clubs. Best of luck on the reality show. I liked your pics my friend.
Joan Collins!
With a baseball cap, a sweatshirt, and some dimly lit sets, this octogenarian actress easily could play the role of 30-ish lothario.
Now this would make me tune in!
Gary Busey!!!
He may be too old, Harry, but would Chaz Bono be the right age?
Jay Kenneth Johnson or
Michael Rourke would be great, but how about Spencer Neville?
Ryan Paevey(ex-Nathan, GH) NO BRAINER! He is gorgeous! Definitely Bold And Beautiful! God please cast him!
Why bother, bring back the TJ character, older and start an entire new storyline.
Can hardly stand to watch it anymore the storylines go nowhere same vicious cycles. It doesn’t matter who they bring in as Thomas it will be another 3 way with Sally, Wyatt and Thomas, they will do what they did with Liam , Steffy and Hope.
I agree the show is horrible and I don’t know what these writers are thinking.
Peirson needs to come back
The new one sucks!
I do not like the new Thomas. He’s not manly enough and looks too geeky.
The old Thomas was awesomel. I understand that this Thomas is part of the Bell family but he plays a horrible Thomas. Bring back Pierson Fode!!
Actually any of the other actors who played Thomas would be an improvement.

In shocking news to so many, This Is Us star Justin Hartley (Kevin Pearson) has filed for divorce after two years of marriage from former Days of our Lives’and Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause (Jordan Ridgeway).
According to court documents on Friday via TMZ, Justin is citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split.
The date of their separation is listed as July 8, 2019, which has perplexed those in the media when the pair have been seen together in recent months at Hollywood events and sharing posts of one another on their social media accounts.
Justin and Chrishell were last seen together in public last week on November 14th at a Hollywood Reporter-sponsored pre-Golden Globes party. Reps for both actors have you to share statements or make a comment.
Hartley and Stause tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch back in October 28th, 201, which was four years to the day after they met.
As daytime fans know, Justin and Chrishell met when they were both part of the soap opera community. Justin was last on daytime as Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless. Hartley has one child, Isabella, from a previous marriage to another soap actress, Lindsay Korman, who he met when they both were on the defunct NBC soap Passions. Justin and Lindsay were married for 8 years.
We will update you as they warrant in this developing story. And on personal note: we wish nothing but the best for both Justin and Chrishell.
