BREAKING NEWS! The Bold and the Beautiful: Is Matthew Atkinson Leaving Behind B&B for Fatherhood?
Seeing Matthew Atkinson on The Bold and the Beautiful has become a once-in-a-blue-moon event. The actor who gives life to Thomas Forrester has stepped away from the B&B drama for a different role. Yep, he’s going to embrace fatherhood real soon. So, is this the end of the road for Thomas, who’s literally many viewers’ favorite Forrester?
Matthew Makes a Shady Move!
The Bold and the Beautiful actor recently raised eyebrows after fans noticed something unusual. Atkinson quietly removed his B&B reference from his Instagram bio. Oops. Is he actually skating away smoothly from the City of Angeles cause daddy needs to be at home?Well, CBS has not shared any official word about his exit. However, the internet is on fire with theories!
One fan isn’t surprised, pointing out Thomas left around his anniversary. They even claimed, “TPTB wanted Thomas hated.” It seems like Matthew’s fan base didn’t exactly fit the show’s plan. Is that the sole reason Matthew remains MIA on the CBS soap? Before we jump the gun, let’s not forget that Matthew is about to become a dad!
Maybe he’s taking a step back and choosing diaper duty over on-screen heartbreak for now. It’s completely natural for him to catch a breather from acting while he trains himself to be a full-time dad. As for Atkinson, he also hasn’t uttered a single word about his status on the soap opera. So, it’s anyone’s guess what’s next.
Earlier, Matthew shared dreamy beach snaps of him and Brytnee Ratledge. She was as glowing as a star with her baby bump. The couple who exchanged vows in November 2023 are expecting their first child. Moreover, the B&B actor quoted a verse from the Bible in his caption. “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children of one’s youth’ – Psalm 127:4,” he wrote.
Courtney Hope (Sally) and Tracey Bregman (Y&R’s Lauren) chimed in with congratulations. While Thomas is an awesome dad, fans believe Matthew will use all those strategies to raise his kid. Here’s hoping Matthew enjoys fatherhood to the fullest while staying on B&B. Only time will tell if he’s really closed the chapter or if a Thomas comeback is around the corner.
Do you think MA will return? Or are his days as Thomas Forrester done?
