"YOU CAN'T MARRY HIM" Thomas suddenly returns to destroy Hope and Liam' wedding

“YOU CAN’T MARRY HIM” – Thomas Returns to Shatter Hope and Liam’s Wedding | Bold and Beautiful SPOILER

Los Angeles is about to feel aftershocks that no one saw coming — because Thomas Forrester is finally coming home. After weeks of whispers and fan theories about Matthew Atkinson’s unexplained absence, the truth is out: Thomas is back, and his return is set to upend everything. The timing couldn’t be more chaotic, as Hope and Liam are on the verge of their long-awaited wedding, a celebration meant to symbolize peace after years of heartbreak and confusion. But in true Bold and Beautiful fashion, love and happiness never come without turbulence.

When Thomas left town, it wasn’t with closure. His quiet exit came in the wake of Hope ending their relationship — a decision that left lingering guilt for her and deep emotional scars for him. Since then, Hope tried to move forward with Liam, rebuilding what they once had. But Thomas’s unexpected reappearance threatens to reopen every wound they’ve tried so hard to heal. And as fans know, when Thomas returns, it’s never just for a friendly visit

He comes back appearing calm, collected — maybe even changed. He insists that he’s different now, that his relationship with Paris is behind him, and that his time away helped him grow. But the moment he locks eyes with Hope again, it’s clear that his heart never truly moved on. Beneath the surface of his polished new persona lies the same storm of passion and obsession that once consumed him.

Meanwhile, the Forrester mansion is glowing with excitement. Everyone is preparing for Hope and Liam’s big day — flowers, champagne, laughter, and family everywhere. Yet under that beautiful exterior, there’s tension building, a quiet unease that no one can quite name. Hope herself feels it too. Despite her best efforts to bury the past, a sliver of uncertainty lingers. She’s haunted by the “what ifs” — what if she’d chosen differently? What if Thomas really was the man she was meant to be with?

That small spark of doubt is all Thomas needs. His timing is almost cinematic: he shows up just as Hope is getting ready to step fully into a new chapter with Liam. And in a moment thick with emotion, he whispers the words that will stop her in her tracks — “You can’t marry him.”

From there, everything spirals. Seeing Hope in her wedding glow reignites Thomas’s jealousy, and memories of their time at Forrester Creations — the designs they built together, the nights they shared, the bond that once felt unbreakable — come flooding back. He becomes convinced that Liam isn’t right for her, that Hope’s about to make the biggest mistake of her life, and that only he can save her from it. Whether it’s love or obsession driving him, Thomas sets out to sabotage the wedding — not through scheming at first, but through raw, emotional confrontation.

Of course, those who know Thomas best can sense danger in his return. Ridge will warn him to stay on the right path — “Don’t make the same mistakes again,” he’ll urge — but Thomas’s eyes will already be fixed on Hope, filled with the conviction that this is fate giving him one last chance.

Hope’s inner world becomes the true battleground. As the wedding day draws near, Thomas’s confession — “I never stopped believing we were meant to be” — pierces through her resolve. Old emotions begin to resurface, confusing her sense of right and wrong. Did she ever truly stop loving him? Or did she simply choose Liam because it felt safe? That question becomes impossible to ignore.

Around them, the family divides once more. Steffy sees the warning signs and fears Thomas will hurt himself — and Hope — all over again. Brooke, meanwhile, digs in her heels, determined to see her daughter walk down the aisle to Liam, no matter what Thomas says or does. Their clashing loyalties set the stage for another fierce Forrester–Logan showdown, just as the wedding bells start to ring.

The suspense builds toward a breathtaking climax: will Thomas crash the ceremony in a public declaration of love, or find a quieter, more devastating way to stop it? Either way, his return guarantees one thing — nothing will ever be the same again.

With Matthew Atkinson officially back on The Bold and the Beautiful, fans can expect a powerful mix of passion, heartbreak, and redemption. Hope and Liam’s wedding might be the event of the year — but it’s Thomas’s return that will make it unforgettable. Will his love destroy them… or finally set him free?
