“The Bold and the Beautiful” has had no shortage of toxic relationships over its nearly four-decade run.

However, Thomas wasn’t the throw in to sit tight and give up so easily.

Designed for the Hope For The Future fashion line, it bore an eerie resemblance to Hope.

At first, all Thomas did was talk to the mannequin, using it as a surrogate for Hope.

Slowly, things progressed into far darker territory, and the mannequin began speaking back to Thomas.

This fueled his obsession with Hope and encouraged him to do dangerous things to get her back.

Hope’s husband was fooled when he witnessed Thomas making out with the mannequin, thinking it was Hope.

However, Hope saw through his advances and rebuffed Thomas after he attempted a kiss.

Hope has begun fantasizing about Thomas, even doing so when in bed with Liam.
