[edit] The Forrester underdog
Thorne is the youngest son of Eric (John McCook) and Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery). He has two younger sisters; Kristen (Tracy Melchior) and Felicia (Lesli Kay); and three half-siblings; Ridge (Ronn Moss), Rick (Kyle Lowder) and Bridget (Ashley Jones).
Thorne grew up desperate to prove himself to his family. After numerous failed attempts at a relationship with Macy Alexander (Bobbie Eakes) and a disastrous marriage to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), he found happiness with Darla Einstein (Schae Harrison) in 2003. The couple were happily married until her death in July 2006. Thorne was thrilled when, in 2004, his parents made him president of Forrester Creations. However, when the eldest (and favoured) Forrester son, Ridge decided to return to the company, Eric and Stephanie demoted Thorne to Vice President in favour of Ridge. Tired of being the unappreciated younger son, Thorne trashed his father's office in a fit of rage, and left Forrester to join Spectra Fashions, taking many of their designs with him. Rather than ride on Eric and Ridge's designs, Thorne had a change of heart, and decided to make the newly renamed Spectra Couture famous for its own designs and also began designing himself, something he had given up years earlier when discouraged by his family, who believed Ridge was better. After Spectra CEO Sally (Darlene Conley) bet everything on Spectra winning the fashion show, Thorne was out of a job and out of a company, but Stephanie, having recently discovered she was the rightful owner of Forrester Creations, reinstated Thorne the company's president, a position in which he currently remains.
Currently, Thorne is raising his daughter, Alexandria (Harley Graham), as a single parent, having recently broken off his engagement to Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo).
