In a nice surprise for fans of The Bold and the Beautiful, the series refreshed their opening title sequence with the additions of several recent arrivals and cast members, plus some new images of other characters and actors on the canvas.
The new opening was first seen on the Monday, December 30th and again on today’s December 31st episode. As 2025 begins it the sequence will now also feature: Rebecca Budig (Taylor), Crew Morrow (Will), Laneya Grace (Electra), Romy Park (Poppy) and Lisa Yamada (Luna), among others.
Viewers looking for images of Joshua Hoffman as R. J. Forrester or Matthew Atkinson as Thomas Forrester will see that they are no longer appearing in the sequence. The opening credits are usually utilized for those on contract with the soap opera, further leading to the speculation that Hoffman and Atkinson are now recurring with the show. However, both the actors names did appear in the closing credits.
While the mystery surrounding, when and if, Matthew Atkinson will return as Thomas Forrester (he was last seen on-air in July) is something viewers hope will soon turn it to a surprise on-air return, because at this point its anyone guess. Atkinson was seen at the recent B&B holiday party.
As for Joshua Hoffman, since R.J.’s love story with Luna was aborted in favor of the huge story twist which saw her becoming a murderer and kidnapper, no word yet if he is with the series and if what capacity.
