When Thomas returned to Los Angeles on , he brought more than memories home from France — he brought Paris. But is his engagement real or is it all a show for Hope? Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) revealed that he’s engaged to Paris (Diamond White) in the . Hope (Annika Noelle) just finished telling him that she recognizes how special he is, after having spent the last several weeks pining over Finn (Tanner Novlan) for the very same reason, and then he rocked her world with the news that he’s not only seeing someone, he’s seeing someone who works at Forrester Creations’ France office and they’re engaged.
And they’re not just engaged...
they’re engaged to the point that Douglas (Henry Samiri) is already calling her “mom.” We have to wonder how healthy this is for Thomas, who was too caught up in his love affair with Hope to hear her telling him, over and over, that she wasn’t ready to get married again. Is this a rebound relationship? Well, it’s too soon to tell.
But regardless of the answer, it’s distressing to see Douglas calling Paris “mom” if Thomas isn’t serious about the engagement. Thomas seemed to toy with Hope, greeting her as if he was just walking in from lunch at Il Giardino. He watched as Douglas hugged her, and listened as she talked about how much she missed him.
He even hugged her back when she embraced him. Then he dropped the bombshell about his engagement. Is the engagement designed to spite Hope? Thomas doesn’t seem like the vindi.
