The Bold and the BeautifulComings & Goings

Soaps.com has learned that Young and the Restless alum Matthew Atkinson, who played Austin Travers from 2014 – 2015, has been hired to play Thomas Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. The actor told Soap Opera Digest, “I couldn’t say no… There’s something very comforting now about being back in the same building.” Watch for Atkinson to debut on March 15 as Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor’s (Hunter Tylo) son. Thomas has been in New York with Caroline Spencer (last played by Linsey Godfrey) and their young son Douglas, (played by Henry Joseph Samiri) who will return with his father.
