They’ve already been dealing with a lot following Hope and Liam losing their baby, but the Forrester, Spencer and Logan families will be forced to gather together to mourn another member of their extended family after Thomas returns home with devastating news on the Friday, March 15 episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

Bill (Don Diamont) and Taylor (Hunter Tylo) both received calls which seemed to upset them on the BS soap, and spoilers reveal that Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) will return home to Los Angeles with his son, Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri), meaning the news likely has to do with Caroline—who had reunited with Thomas last year.

If Thomas is returning with Douglas but not Caroline, then she may have died suddenly, though it’s unclear what may have actually happened to her. Still, news of her death will also be devastating for Bill in more ways than one. Not only is he saying goodbye to his niece, but he will have to relive one of his biggest past mistakes, which made her life difficult later on.

“Bill feels guilty about the lie he told Thomas regarding Caroline,” spoilers reveal.

When he was initially trying to take Spectra down, he knew the key to neutralizing Sally (Courtney Hope) was to get Thomas to end his relationship with her and have him reunite with Caroline, the mother of his child. As a result, he lied to Thomas and told him she was dying. He had eventually learned the truth, which led to his brief reunion with Sally before he and Caroline then got back together once more. But considering she has now actually passed away, the guilt could become unbearable, especially since Bill has also become a new person since then.

“The Bold and the Beautiful” airs weekdays at 1:30 p.m. EST on CBS.
