The Bold and the Beautiful delivered a shocking twist in its September 3 episode when Thomas admitted to Ridge that he had called off his engagement to Paris. For actress Diamond White, who played Paris, the revelation came as much of a surprise as it did to fans.
White’s Social Media Response
After the show’s official Instagram account shared a clip of the scene, White jumped into the comments with her own playful take. “Well thanks for letting me know 😂,” she wrote, earning laughs and plenty of fan replies.
The comment quickly gained traction, turning her reaction into one of the episode’s most talked-about moments.
Thomas and Paris’s Rollercoaster
Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) and Paris’s relationship has been anything but simple. The two first grew close back in 2021, and their romance remained on and off until Thomas proposed in 2024. But the engagement unraveled after a shocking revelation about Paris’s mother, Grace (Cassandra Creech).
Grace faked Liam’s (Scott Clifton) cancer diagnosis, and for Thomas, that deception proved to be the final straw. The breakup added to a complicated family history already tied to Paris’s father, Reese (Wayne Brady), who years earlier kidnapped Liam and Hope’s (Annika Noelle) baby and sold the child to Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who returned to taping).
Fans Sound Off
Fans didn’t hold back their opinions in the Instagram comments. One viewer praised Atkinson’s performance but criticized the storyline, writing, “MA is an excellent actor and Thomas should be a leading man on this show.”
Another user joked about Thomas’s behavior, saying, “Go kiss mannequins. Can’t stand Thomas.” Others voiced frustration that the character was brought back for what they saw as a short-lived and unsatisfying plot.
White’s good-natured response, however, reminded fans why she was such a fan favorite on and off screen. Even as Paris exited the storyline, her actress found a way to join the conversation with humor and connect with the audience.
