The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers: Douglas Forrester’s Serious Trouble – 5 Reasons For Concern

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say that when it comes to Douglas and Thomas Forrester, the apple sure doesn’t fall far from the apple tree. While child actor Henry Samiri has been doing a fantastic job of portraying the young character as a confused boy looking for love from both a mother figure and a father figure, Douglas’ behavior is concerning many people except for perhaps those who are supposed to be watching over him the most. With that said, we have five reasons why we are worried about Douglas Forrester and his future. Is he walking in his father Thomas’ footsteps? Here’s what you need to know.

Obsession With Hope Logan

As many fans already know, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) is creepily obsessed with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). Unfortunately, young Douglas is displaying similar behavior patterns when it comes to Hope. He wants Hope all to himself and so much do that the beautiful blonde doesn’t even have the time to take care of her own daughter Beth anymore.

B&B Spoilers – He Never Got To Mourn His Mother Caroline Forrester

While there’s no doubt that losing a parent at any age is difficult, it’s especially challenging for a young boy the same age as Douglas Forrester. Unfortunately, he never really had a true opportunity to mourn his mother Caroline Spencer or even process his grief in a healthy way or by professionals. Instead, his father wasted no time in trying to replace Caroline with Hope Logan as his new replacement ‘mommy.’ This might give Douglas the impression that anyone is replaceable at any time, regardless of who they are.

Thomas Loves Him But Is Also Using Him

While there are a lot of things that can be said about a person like Thomas Forrester, there has been moments when he did show authentic affection and love towards his one and only child. Thomas Forrester is a good parent, however, he just doesn’t know how to be a father. Also, his selfishness in using Douglas to further his agenda with Hope will one day give an adult-aged Douglas a reason to never trust his father in the future.

The Bold and The Beautiful Spoilers – Uses Guilt To Trap Others

As many The Bold and the Beautiful fans have noticed so far, if there’s one thing that Douglas has learned from his father Thomas, it’s that he can use guilt to trap others. And that’s exactly what he’s been doing with Hope Logan. Each and every time Hope tries to leave, Douglas traps her by making an emotional plea for her to stay. This makes it especially hard for Hope, as she doesn’t want to break his heart any more than it already is.

Grandmother Taylor Hayes Is Absent

With that said, it’s no doubt that everyone in the Forrester family is dealing with some sort of emotional issues and that’s why life in this fictional town of Los Angeles is always unstable for them. However, Douglas is still a young boy and unfortunately, he is picking up all of his bad habits through observation.

If there’s one person that he can use in his life right now, it would most definitely be his grandmother, Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo). Her knowledge, expertise, and experience as a therapist would help Douglas not only properly mourn his mother, but also give him an opportunity to speak to someone he can trust. Yet, Taylor has been absent for months and it doesn’t look like she will be making any house calls back to the Forrester Mansion anytime soon.
