Two Surprising Thanksgiving Returns | B&B Comings & Goings
As Thanksgiving approaches in Los Angeles, The Bold and the Beautiful is setting the stage for a feast filled not only with turkey and tradition but with secrets, surprises, and shocking returns. This year, the Forrester family’s holiday table might have a few extra seats—and the guests who take them could change everything.
Two familiar faces are rumored to be making a comeback just in time for the holidays, and their return promises to stir up romance, rivalry, and revelation. With the November sweeps heating up, B&B fans better prepare themselves—because this Thanksgiving, drama is definitely on the menu.
The Return of Thomas Forrester: Unfinished Business and Unhealed Wounds
First up on the list of potential comebacks is none other than Thomas Forrester, played by the talented Matthew Atkinson.
Eagle-eyed fans recently spotted Atkinson back on set alongside producer Casey Kasprzyk, sending social media into a frenzy. While CBS has yet to officially confirm his return, the timing is just too perfect to ignore. The Forrester family’s Thanksgiving tradition—complete with gratitude speeches, uneasy truces, and lingering stares across the table—has always been the ideal setting for long-awaited confrontations.
And let’s be honest: there’s plenty of unfinished business for Thomas to handle.
The last time viewers saw him, Thomas’s complex relationship with Hope Logan reached another emotional breaking point. His heartfelt proposal ended in rejection when Hope admitted she couldn’t marry him—only to later reunite with her ex, Liam Spencer, and announce a renewed engagement.
For Thomas, who poured his heart into proving he’d changed, Hope’s decision was a devastating blow. His departure left many fans wondering whether he’d ever truly moved on—or whether his love for Hope still simmered beneath the surface.
Now, with word spreading that he could return right before the holidays, speculation is soaring. Will Thomas come back seeking closure—or revenge?
Sources close to production suggest that his return could tie into Forrester Creations’ latest fashion relaunch. Hope’s line, “Hope for the Future,” remains in transition, and there’s no denying that Thomas’s creative genius was once the backbone of its success. His reappearance might start as a professional collaboration, but The Bold and the Beautiful has never been one to keep business and pleasure separate for long.
If Thomas walks back into Hope’s life, expect sparks—and heartbreak—to fly once again.
Wyatt Spencer’s Possible Comeback: A Brother Returns to the Battlefield
The second rumored Thanksgiving return has fans equally intrigued. Word in the soap world is that Darin Brooks might be reprising his role as Wyatt Spencer—though, for now, the news remains unconfirmed.
Wyatt, known for his charm, wit, and knack for getting caught in the middle of Spencer family drama, has been absent from the canvas for some time. His easygoing personality and moral compass once served as a refreshing counterbalance to Liam’s indecision and Bill’s ruthless ambition.
So, what would bring Wyatt back to Los Angeles—and why now?
If history has taught us anything, Wyatt’s return could mean trouble. Thanksgiving is a time for family reunions, and the Spencers have plenty of skeletons rattling in their closets. With Liam once again juggling emotions between Hope and Steffy, Wyatt’s reappearance could inject new energy into old rivalries.
Imagine Wyatt walking into Forrester Creations during a tense moment between Liam and Hope—or crashing the Forrester Thanksgiving dinner, uninvited but undeniably welcome by fans. His presence would instantly shift the family dynamic, reigniting the sibling tension that B&B fans love.
Even if Wyatt’s return to daytime isn’t official yet, Darin Brooks is keeping busy. The actor is set to star in the upcoming comedy film The Roaring Game, slated for a February 2026 release. Brooks takes on the lead role in what’s being described as a “laugh-out-loud ensemble piece,” featuring One Tree Hill alum Antwon Tanner, All My Children star John Fior, and American Pie’s Eddie K. Thomas.
While Brooks’s film career continues to thrive, longtime viewers haven’t given up hope of seeing Wyatt back in the Bold and Beautiful world. After all, few characters can match his mix of charm, humor, and heart.
And really—what’s Thanksgiving at the Spencers without a little brotherly banter and a dash of romantic chaos?
Behind the Scenes: Steffy’s Return and a Shift in the Forrester Power Dynamics
While the potential returns of Thomas and Wyatt have fans buzzing, the coming weeks will also see Steffy Forrester reclaiming her place at the heart of Forrester Creations.
After a brief absence, Steffy is set to make her on-screen comeback during the week of November 3–7. Expect to see her stepping into her role as co-CEO with renewed determination—and perhaps a surprising dose of compassion.
According to teasers, Steffy will review new designs for Hope’s relaunch line and even offer her support for Hope’s engagement to Liam. Yes, you read that right. The same Steffy who once shared a bitter rivalry with Hope may now be ready to let bygones be bygones.
Could this be the start of a truce—or just the calm before another storm?
Fans know that Steffy and Hope’s peace treaties never last long, and if Thomas reenters the picture, their delicate balance could crumble overnight.
Deacon’s Dilemma and the Web of Secrets
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Los Angeles, Deacon Sharpe finds himself once again torn between two women: Taylor Hayes and Sheila Carter. His divided loyalties could easily explode over the holidays, especially as secrets begin to surface and alliances start to fracture.
Thanksgiving has a way of exposing hidden truths in The Bold and the Beautiful, and this year looks no different. With emotions running high and surprise guests possibly returning, the dinner table might turn into a battleground before dessert is served.
A Thanksgiving to Remember
If The Bold and the Beautiful is truly ushering in a new era—as insiders hint—then bringing back both Thomas Forrester and Wyatt Spencer at the same time would be the perfect way to do it. Their reappearances would weave together the show’s most compelling storylines: love versus loyalty, family versus ambition, and the eternal struggle between forgiveness and revenge.
Imagine the scene: the Forrester mansion glowing with candlelight, familiar faces gathered around the Thanksgiving table, smiles masking tension. Then—doors open. Two figures walk in, ghosts from the past returning just as everyone starts to believe in peace again.
Thomas, eyes locked on Hope, ready to confront the woman who broke his heart.
Wyatt, grinning but guarded, as old rivalries and unresolved emotions resurface.
The Forrester family’s Thanksgiving blessing might begin in gratitude—but it could end in chaos.
As the show moves deeper into November sweeps, The Bold and the Beautiful proves once again why it remains one of television’s most addictive dramas. Love, betrayal, redemption, and revenge—served up just in time for the holidays.
Final Thoughts
The holidays in The Bold and the Beautiful universe are rarely peaceful, and this year looks to be one for the record books. Whether or not both rumored returns happen, the buzz surrounding Thomas and Wyatt has reignited fan excitement.
Because in Los Angeles, no one ever truly leaves for good—and every return brings the promise of both healing and havoc.
So, as Thanksgiving nears, one thing’s for certain: this feast won’t just serve turkey and trimmings. It’ll serve drama—hot, fresh, and utterly unforgettable.
