Pierson Fode speaks out on B&B exit

Actor Pierson Fode will be leaving “The Bold and the Beautiful” as Thomas Forrester, a role he has played since 2015. According to Soap Opera Digest, it was the actor’s choice to move on. Fode said of the decision, “It was hard because you want to have your cake and eat it too. You want to be there and I still want to go off and shoot a Marvel movie. I want to still be shooting on ‘B&B’ and I want to do a Netflix series, and at the end of the day, you can’t do it all. And that was the choice that I had to make.” Fode has already filmed his last episode as Thomas, and there is no word yet on whether or not the role will be recast.
