“HE KILLED PARIS” – Ridge is Shocked When Baker Shows Up to Arrest Thomas
The Bold and the Beautiful has always thrived on shocking twists, but nothing could have prepared the Forrester family for the bombshell about to drop. Fans already thought Thomas had reached his lowest point after Ridge committed him to a psychiatric facility, but the story takes a darker and even more dangerous turn. When word spreads of a tragic death, all eyes turn toward Thomas—and the fallout threatens to destroy not only his life but the entire Forrester legacy.
At the center of the storm is Paris Buckingham, a young woman whose kind spirit and complicated relationships have made her both loved and resented within the fashion house. For months, Paris has found herself caught in the crossfire of Forrester drama—sometimes defending Thomas, sometimes warning others about his volatility. Her sudden death comes as a shock to everyone, but the real blow lands when evidence begins pointing toward Thomas.
Ridge is blindsided when Detective Baker arrives unannounced, bringing news that rocks the Forrester estate. Baker is calm but firm, his words chilling as he informs Ridge that Thomas is the prime suspect in Paris’s death. The accusation alone leaves Ridge struggling to breathe, but nothing could prepare him for what follows: Baker isn’t just here to question Thomas—he’s here to arrest him.
Ridge watches in horror as Baker places Thomas in handcuffs, the sound of metal snapping shut echoing like a final verdict. The shock is overwhelming. This is his son—his flesh and blood—being led away as a potential murderer. Ridge’s mind races. Could Thomas really be capable of killing Paris? Or is this yet another cruel twist in a series of misunderstandings that have always painted Thomas in the darkest light?
Thomas, desperate and enraged, protests his innocence. He insists he would never harm Paris, shouting that he is being set up. But his words fall flat against the weight of evidence Baker claims to have: witness statements, inconsistencies in Thomas’s timeline, and even physical proof linking him to the scene. Ridge’s heart breaks as he sees the fear in his son’s eyes, but he cannot ignore the brutal facts stacking up against him.
The news sends shockwaves through the family. Brooke, still reeling from her own terrifying encounter with Thomas, sees the arrest as confirmation that he has finally crossed a line he can never come back from. She warns Ridge that defending Thomas now could cost him everything. Taylor, however, is devastated and refuses to believe her son is capable of murder. She pleads with Ridge to stand by Thomas, insisting that his troubled state of mind and history of being misunderstood have made him an easy target.
Meanwhile, Hope is left torn between loyalty to Douglas’s father and the undeniable fear that Thomas may truly be dangerous. For Douglas, the loss is doubly painful: first his father being sent to a psychiatric hospital, and now the possibility that he could be a killer. The young boy’s questions leave Hope and Liam struggling for answers, while Eric demands clarity from Ridge about what’s happening to his grandson.
Steffy explodes with fury when she learns of the arrest. To her, Paris’s death is tragic, but she refuses to believe Thomas is guilty. She accuses Brooke of fueling Ridge’s doubts and blames her once again for driving a wedge through the family. Steffy vows to fight for her brother, no matter what the police say.
The mystery deepens as Baker hints that the case against Thomas is strong but not airtight. Some family members whisper that Thomas may have been framed, while others fear his increasingly erratic behavior has finally turned deadly. Ridge, caught between protecting his son and facing the harsh reality, feels torn apart. Did Thomas truly kill Paris in a moment of rage, or is he being sacrificed to protect someone else?
As Thomas is taken away, the Forrester family is left shattered. Secrets begin to surface, alliances crack, and suspicion spreads like wildfire. Was this an accident, a crime of passion, or something far more sinister? Ridge’s greatest fear has come true—his son is not only seen as unstable but now as a murderer. The question haunting everyone is simple yet devastating: is Thomas guilty, or is the truth buried beneath layers of lies, betrayal, and family rivalry?
One thing is certain—Paris’s death changes everything. And as Ridge watches his son disappear in the back of a police car, he knows nothing will ever be the same again.
