At Forrester, Thomas needles Liam about finally having competition for Steffy and asks how it feels to be the jealous one. Liam denies it has anything to do with jealousy, but Thomas isn’t buying it. He wonders why Liam thinks it’s his business what Steffy’s doctor thinks of her and reminds him he threw Steffy away. Ridge enters and Thomas reveals that Liam is jealous of Steffy’s doctor. Ridge learns Finn has feelings for Steffy and Thomas points out they’re adults. Liam doesn’t want her involved with the person responsible for her recovery and complains about the wildly inappropriate extra-curricular visits. Ridge notes if Steffy’s uncomfortable she’ll put the guy in his place. Thomas adds she’ll flirt with him if she returns his feelings…that’s what Liam has a problem with. Liam maintains a doctor can’t be objective if he falls for his patient. They continue bickering. Liam worries about Finn prescribing meds with an ulterior motive. Thomas thinks that would be a serious accusation. Liam pleads with Ridge to see how dangerous this is. Thomas feels Liam’s the only one who can’t be objective here – he’s scared to death of Steffy moving on. He lays into Liam for causing her emotional pain by flip-flopping between her and Hope for years. Liam protests he’s genuinely concerned, to which Thomas roars, “Then leave her alone!” He orders Liam to let her go once and for all and let her find some happiness.

At Steffy’s place, Finn didn’t see the kiss coming. She’s pleased he didn’t back away and hopes it let him know how she feels about him. Finn offers to walk out if she has any doubts about him and find her another doctor. Steffy assures him she doesn’t feel awkward and thinks it was a brave move to come to her with this. They banter, then she tells him she’s glad he’s her doctor – he really listens and puts his integrity first. Finn’s heart races when he talks to her but if she has any reservations continuing with him, she should say so. He’d rather give up being her doctor than give up seeing where this goes. Steffy acknowledges it’s complicated, but she wants him to stay – as her doctor and whatever else this turns out to be. She’s not letting him go anywhere. Finn’s ready to think about something other than medicine and is looking forward to spending more time with her and opening up himself too. Steffy knew she’d be okay the first day he looked in her eyes…she’s looking forward to spending more time with him – with or without the stethoscope. They share another kiss.

14/24

Making another valiant attempt at moving on without Hope, this time Thomas’ efforts were stymied when he crossed paths with a compelling mannequin that looked exactly like the object of his desire. After taking it home, it began talking to him, and inevitably, he tried to romance the thing. In Thomas’ defense, Liam also thought it was really Hope when he spied the designer kissing it. All of this came to a head when Hope found Thomas passed out on the floor of his apartment and it was discovered that he had a brain tumor.

15/24

Thomas and Vinny Walker were pals from school, so he was loathe to believe that the kind-hearted drug dealer had used his newfound position in the lab to switch his sister Steffy’s paternity results… but that’s exactly what he’d done. It turns out Vinny thought it would help Thomas get closer to Hope if Steffy had a baby with Liam. Thomas was angry, but was later devastated when his lifelong friend threw himself in front of Liam’s car and died as a last-ditch effort to win him the girl of his dreams.

17/24

We couldn’t help but think that Thomas needed to get out of the office more when he fell for another woman who already had a man — cousin Zende’s girl, Paris Buckingham. But that wasn’t the only thing that made it awkward — she was also Zoe’s sister — yes, that Zoe, the one he jilted at the altar. The bad news is that he was going through a man bun phase, the good news is that when the newly-mature and stable Thomas made his feelings known to Paris, who was sub-letting his apartment, he was accepting when she friend-zoned him.

19/24

Thomas found out Sheila Carter had pushed his father’s wife, Brooke, off the wagon and kept the secret a tad too long in hopes that his parents would reunite. Steffy realized something was going on between the two and eventually figured out what her husband’s mad biological mother had done, which played a part in their fateful confrontation in the alley behind Il Giardino. Much to Thomas’ horror, both Steffy and Finn were shot by Sheila that night and left for dead. Happily, they both survived in the end.

In the aftermath of trying to force Douglas to keep his dirty secret, Thomas decided it would be a good idea to let the boy decide who he wanted to live with… because, of course, he’d pick his dad, right? Wrong. Douglas threw both Thomas and Hope for a loop when he chose his Aunt Steffy’s cliffside abode and they were forced to go along with it. Thomas then made another miscalculation by thinking he’d have open access to his son at his sister’s place, which led to yet another falling out with Steffy.

<p>Thomas has known his sometime stepsister Hope Logan since she was a baby. Their relationship would take many twists and turns over the years, including… erm, obsession.</p>

<p>Thomas and Rick have had a tumultuous history. This includes Thomas blowing up Rick’s car upon learning he romanced both of Thomas’ sisters as well as his mother.</p>

<p>Years later, Thomas (then Adam Gregory) butted heads with Rick over business, as well as Caroline Spencer. One argument led to Rick falling out a window. Hey, it happens.</p>

<p>Though Brooke has been married to his father Ridge numerous times, Thomas couldn’t help being drawn to her. He went so far as to kiss her during a runway show as part of a PR stunt dreamed up by Whip Jones. They later developed problems of a different nature.</p>

<p>During a tour to promote a clothing line, Brooke and Thomas’ plane crashed on a deserted island. While there, they ate hallucinogenic berries, leading Thomas to believe they had sex. He took a bribe from grandma Stephanie to lie that they had slept together, but eventually came clean. </p>

<p>Despite their parents being married, Thomas became enamored with Hope (then Kim Matula) early on. However, he always had to contend with her love for Liam Spencer, who also had a history with Thomas’ sister Steffy.</p>

<p>Thomas fell for spunky Sally Spectra and defected from Forrester to become the lead designer at her company Spectra Fashions. Their love wouldn’t last, however, as he left her to be with Caroline and their son Douglas when he thought Caroline was dying.</p>

<p>After Caroline died for real, Thomas (now Matthew Atkinson) returned to Los Angeles from New York obsessed with getting Hope to love him. He was often seen around Forrester Creations lurking, plotting and generally being creepy.</p>

<p>Still obsessed with Hope despite their marriage being annulled, Thomas rather nastily allowed her to believe he had died after they argued at Forrester Creations and he fell into a vat of acid. As it turned out, it wasn’t really acid but a cleaning solution.</p>

<p>Thomas, who had buckled down to become a good father to Douglas again as he searched for a house of his own to buy, was thrilled when his mother, Taylor, came home to the family fold. Thomas teamed with Steffy to try and convince their parents they were better together.</p>

<p>Having not hatched a scheme or made out with an inanimate object in months, Thomas decided that it was the perfect time to approach Hope about maybe moving son Douglas out of her place and into the Forrester mansion. Cue Hope’s heart shattering into a bazillion pieces in three, two…</p>

<p>Reformed our ass! Determined to reunite Mommy and Daddy, Thomas used a voice-altering phone app to make it sound like Brooke had called Child Protective Services on him. The dirty trick worked — right on cue, Ridge ran back to Taylor — but we all knew it couldn’t last…</p>

<p>Hope would have happily have had nothing more to do with Thomas, but alas, Eric and Zende’s designs fell as flat as pancakes, so to save Hope For the Future, she had to rehire the (Worst) Employee of the Month. Could he prove to her — to anyone — that he deserved this 22nd chance?</p>
