The Forrester family has taken a hit, as two beloved characters, Thomas and RJ, seem

to have vanished from The Bold and the Beautiful. Rumors are swirling that Matthew

Atkinson (Thomas Forrester) and Joshua Hoffman (RJ Forrester) have been let go, and

recent developments suggest there may be truth to these claims.

Thomas Forrester has been notably absent since March 2024, following Hope’s rejection of his proposal. He left for Paris, returning briefly in September with his son Douglas and his new fiancée, Paris. Fans were excited about his return, hoping it signaled a longer storyline, but Thomas and his little family disappeared after just a week.

Meanwhile, RJ Forrester’s exit was equally abrupt. After discovering that Luna, the woman he loved, was a cold-blooded killer, RJ was left devastated. Following the shocking revelation, he retreated from the drama entirely. Speculation suggests he’s back to living his influencer lifestyle, leaving behind the Forrester Creations chaos that never really suited him.

Adding fuel to the fire, the December 30th episode’s opening credits no longer include Atkinson or Hoffman. This major change hints that both actors may have been moved to recurring status or written out entirely. Neither Thomas nor RJ has been involved in critical family drama, like the battle for Forrester Creations, further signaling their departure.

While there’s no official statement from The Bold and the Beautiful, the writing on the wall is hard to ignore. Fans are left wondering if these exits are permanent or if Thomas and RJ might eventually return to shake things up. For now, their absence leaves a noticeable void in the Forrester family saga.
