The Bold and the Beautiful Shocker: Matthew Atkinson Removed From Opening Credits
B&B’s Matthew Atkinson has been removed from the show’s opening credits as of December 30. The actor, who plays Thomas Forrester, was last seen on-screen six months ago when Thomas left LA with Paris and Douglas.
The Bold and the Beautiful Makes Major Credits Change as Matthew Atkinson Removed
Well, soap fans, it looks like we’ve got some pretty interesting developments happening over at The Bold and the Beautiful! Eagle-eyed viewers tuning into the December 30th episode noticed something major missing from the show’s glossy opening sequence – Matthew Atkinson’s familiar face is no longer gracing our screens during the opening credits.
SIX MONTHS AND COUNTING
If you’ve been keeping track (and let’s face it, we always do!), it’s been a whopping six months since we last saw Atkinson bringing Thomas Forrester to life on our screens. His last appearance showed Thomas heading out of LA with Paris (Diamond White) and his son Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri).
CHRISTMAS PARTY APPEARANCE
Here’s where things get interesting! Despite his noticeable absence from our screens, Atkinson was actually spotted at the show’s Christmas party on December 19th, looking happy and mingling with his castmates. The actor was all smiles as he posed for photos with the B&B crew, giving fans a glimmer of hope about seeing more of Thomas in the future.
CREDIT CHANGE DETAILS
The December 30th episode brought the first look at B&B’s refreshed opening sequence, and the changes were impossible to miss. Not only is Atkinson’s photo absent from the opening montage, but Diamond White’s picture has also been removed. However, it’s worth noting that Atkinson still appears in the ending credits of the show.
SOCIAL MEDIA SPECULATION
Looking back, the rumor mill started churning in November when fans noticed Atkinson had removed The Bold and the Beautiful from his Instagram bio. While this sparked quite a bit of chatter among the fandom, no official announcement about his status with the show has been made.
The beautiful thing about soap operas is that no exit is ever truly permanent (we’ve certainly seen enough back-from-the-dead storylines to know that!), and the door was definitely left open for Thomas’s return when he departed LA. Only time will tell what this credits change might mean for our favorite fashionable bad boy turned good.
