Douglas Forrester (Django Ferri) was slightly SORAS’d (soap opera rapid aging syndrome) when fans saw him in mid-August. He was aged by a handful of years since Henry Joseph Samiri (Douglas since 2019) last appeared on screen earlier this year.
Devoted fans recall that Hope was Thomas’ choice to become Douglas’ adoptive mother after Caroline Spencer (Linsey Godfrey) died. The instant connection between Hope and Douglas led to a natural mother-son bond, and eventually the character Samiri played moved into her home.
The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Thomas Forrester Was Wild
Atkinson and Samiri were the recasts for their characters in 2019. As devoted fans recall, Thomas had a history of wild behavior before he returned with his young son from New York three years ago.
Thomas developed an obsession for Hope after returning to Los Angeles, California. She resisted his attempts at a romantic relationship, famously, inadvertently pushed him into a vat, and eventually was projected from his mind into a mannequin.

His history of mentally unstable behavior is not far from the minds of all who care about him, including Hope.
B&B Spoilers – Douglas Forrester’s Wishes Were Heard
Now that he is older, Douglas needs his father. The scene in the cabin, when he wanted to play ball with Thomas and returned to ask for him after his dad left was telling.
Hope and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) recognized that Douglas is maturing. But they also know that he has thrived in the stable environment that their home and family provide.
Liam, in particular, truly stepped up in becoming a solid stepfather to Douglas. Thomas has come to appreciate Liam because of it yet is expressing what must rightfully be described as paternal feelings.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Hope Spencer Complies Or Suggests A Compromise?
Thomas is thinking strategically. He mentioned asking his grandfather, Eric Forrester (John McCook), about moving back to the mansion.
That tell was referenced to alleviate Hope’s anticipated concerns about Douglas and Thomas living in a bachelor’s apartment. It also reinforces Douglas’ Forrester family roots.
Hope and Liam were surprised by this unexpected turn. She can either comply with Thomas’ change of heart or suggest a compromise.
Would it be best for Douglas to be with Thomas as he had been in the past, stay with Hope and her family, or split time with both on B&B?
