CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers indicate that Matthew Atkinson is doing his best to justify his character’s behavior. While everyone might not agree with the things that Thomas Forrester says and does, Matthew insists that there’s a reason for his madness. Here’s what he has to say.
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Matthew Atkinson, who plays Thomas Forrester on the hit CBS soap, puts it this way, “Honestly there were times that events came up in scripts and then I’d go and talk to Brad Bell, the head writer and we have a conversation about it, and we’d make sense of why it is happening and where Thomas’s head was at. The reality is that I’m here to play this character, who is a very interesting character, and I am thrilled to play it. He is a very dark person and at times he can be hard to empathize with but once you find the reasons, psychologically, why these things are happening, it becomes much less a darkness and more of just a struggle that he’s dealing with.”

But with that said, Matthew says that he knows what he’s dealing with, especially when it comes to Thomas and his evil side. He continued, “This is a character who is deeply flawed by he’s still a person at the end of the day you can understand and forgive. Everyone goes through massive struggles in their life. They do things they never thought they’d do, but they’re justified in that moment, and when you take the time to be in another person’s shoes and understand that, you start to feel bad for him and not just be mad at him. He really wants what’s best for everyone.”
