Hardcore viewers know that the various editions of Thomas have gone off-course in the past. Atkinson’s version became totally obsessed with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) for more than a year. Having pushed himself on her and even forcing a marriage, Hope eventually out-smarted him which caused Thomas to run off in mid-March. Viewers then saw a seemingly transforming man appear at his sister’s home in August.
No one questions Thomas’s artistic talent. It’s an inherited family trait that he can seriously develop when motivated to do so.
Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) gave his son the opportunity to demonstrate his ability when allowing him to design at Forrester Creations last year. But Thomas spent most of his time thinking about and acting on personal pursuits, with his creative productivity stifled as a result. That choice seriously hampered the work he could have produced and impacted his credibility.
If he plays this right and is honest about it, Thomas could go a long way toward re-earning his father’s trust. With Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) needing to work from home, when she’s able, due to her accident recovery period, Ridge could use his oldest son’s input.
While Thomas has been a designer to-date, taking some initiative might be well received. No, he isn’t Steffy, in terms of demonstrated corporate leadership and a proven track record. But Thomas could surely help his dad and grandfather with some of the day-to-day tasks by asking if he could handle some of Steffy’s responsibilities.
Thomas is actually brilliant. But the reputation he’s created for himself makes everyone, including his own young son, Douglas Forrester (Henry Samiri), doubt him. That’s a really bad spot to be in.
However, Thomas’ genuine concern for Steffy’s welfare and the repeated visits he’s made to the cliff house indicate that he’s not attempting to obtain sneaky updates on his sister’s condition in order to push Steffy out at FC.
If Thomas can keep his nose to the grindstone at work, either by continuing to produce solid designs or also by handling other duties, then he will slowly reclaim his family’s trust. That’s the starting point from which Thomas can also begin to rebuild his life.
