The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers document that Douglas Forrester (Django Ferri) wants to be with his father. That is natural for a boy his age. What is unusual is the living and legal situation this young man finds himself in.
Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) was with Caroline Spencer (Linsey Godfrey) in New York. They were raising Douglas but were not involved romantically when Caroline unexpectedly died.
Caroline’s death hit Thomas and Douglas hard. They returned to Los Angeles, California, to be with family. Upon doing so, Thomas quickly came to realize that Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) could serve as Douglas’ mother figure.
Thomas began developing deep feelings for Hope after returning to LA. Part of the reason for his admiration was linked to Hope’s open-hearted acceptance of Douglas.
The ask for Hope to become Douglas’ adoptive mother was wise. She has proven to be the right choice, with Douglas accepting her as his next mom.
Many touching scenes between Douglas (as then played by Henry David Samiri) and Hope reinforced the bond they have formed. Thomas’ choice, in allowing Douglas to live at the cabin with Hope and her family, worked out fine.
Thomas is stable, for the moment. But anyone can rightfully question if his apparent stability should include him living with Douglas full-time.
Atkinson’s character has a long history of driving himself over the soapy cliff. His many instances of bizarre and even violent behavior indicate a permanent condition rather than periods of strife.
Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) has been quick to defend his son in the past, with that defense serving as a form of enabling. Thomas’ mother, Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) is a world-famous physiologist. But her ability to diagnose Thomas’ mental health is naturally compromised.
Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is pushing Thomas to take charge of Douglas. But Steffy’s pro-Forrester stance impacts her ability to weigh the odds with any sense of balance.
The strongest argument for Hope maintaining full custody would be her consistent performance as his adoptive mother to date. Yet, Thomas is Douglas’ biological father.
Thomas and Hope’s emotions will push this developing storyline for a while. But a middle ground will hopefully be reached soon.
