Winsor Harmon, AKA Thorne Forrester, once expressed his shock and Disappointment after The Bold and the Beautiful recaps his role in the show. Winsor Harmon, who got his first big acting break playing Del Henry on the popular daytime soap “All My Children” from 1994 to 1995, became a prominent actor in the soap world after he was cast on “The Bold and the Beautiful” as Thorne Forrester in 1996.

While fans were surprised to learn Winsor Harmon was being booted from the show, perhaps no one was more surprised than the actor himself, who said he was shocked and disappointed to discover that The Bold and the Beautiful creator was recasting his role.
