The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers reveal that Matthew Atkinson (Thomas Forrester) is officially back! SOD confirmed the news of Atkinson’s return and shared when Thomas will have his first airdate, so let’s talk about what’s in store.

After Matthew Atkinson dropped some clues on Instagram about Thomas’ soapy comeback, fans started buzzing about whether his return was in the works.

Thomas is indeed headed back to the show – and it won’t be that long until viewers see him again.

Although no exact airdate has been revealed just yet, Thomas will be back on-screen by early September.

That leaves plenty of time for speculation about Thomas’ love life and any changes that might be brewing.

Is Thomas still engaged to Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) or could their broken engagement leave Thomas looking for love elsewhere?

Could Thomas secretly be pining for Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and end up pursuing after her own failed engagement to Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor)?

There’s the potential for a Hope and Thomas reunion depending on where B&B writers want to go with his comeback story and how long he sticks around.

Regardless, Matthew Atkinson’s return is a reason for many fans to celebrate.

No matter what Thomas’ romantic future looks like, it’ll be great to see him back in the mix so he can catch up with some familiar faces.

Thomas could wind up supporting Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) in her time of heartache since trouble is brewing in her relationship with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).

Although Ridge made a commitment to Taylor, that was before Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) accident rocked his world in Italy.

Ridge is feeling pulled back in Brooke’s direction, so it’s just a matter of time until their own reunion happens.

Despite Ridge’s attempt to fight his true feelings and delay the inevitable, Taylor is destined for a crushing blow sooner or later.

Thomas may step up for his mom once that happens and give Taylor some much-needed comfort.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say there’ll be plenty of drama for Thomas to be involved in, so stay tuned for updates on all the highs and lows.
