The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say that this actor knows that his character had done wrong. Unfortunately though, it looks like he’ll be going on a slippery downward slope from this point forward. Matthew Atkinson has recently opened up about his character Thomas Forrester and the stupid move he made when he called Child Protection Services using a voice altering app to make it sound like he’s Brooke Logan. Here’s what you need to know.
The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Matthew Atkinson Admits Thomas Made A Stupid Move With The CPS Call
In an interview with Bold Live, Matthew says that he was pretty shocked to find out the truth just like everyone else over at the Forrester mansion. He put it this way, “I didn’t find out that Thomas was the one who called CPS ’til like two days before the script came out and then we shot it, you know, like two days after that. So that was a quick turnaround. But it was sort of like, you could see a bunch of different directions it could have gone and that I thought maybe made more sense, at least in the way that it had been let up. So it definitely was out of left field. Funny that Thomas was the one who did it, especially considering that for the last year he’s spent all his time saying how honesty is number one. And it’s just like, his entire focus in life was on having his son and being a good father, and then randomly he’s going to call CPS on himself? That backfires; then everything he wants in life goes kaboom.”
Matthew added that one of the reasons why Thomas behaves the way that he behaves is because of all his family trauma. He explained, “You just look at the history of what Thomas has had to go through ad what his parents have done and what happened to him in his youth. His dad’s kind of a piece of crap. I know he’s always seen as the hero but he…kind of never can make a decision on a woman. That lends itself to destroying families and that’s what’s happened with this family, so there’s a lot of trauma from childhood. So I think that’s what makes Thomas such an understandable villain.”
