The Forrester underdog

Thorne is the eldest son of Eric (played by John McCook) and Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery). He has two sisters: Kristen (Tracy Melchior) and Felicia (Lesli Kay); and three half-siblings: his older half-brother Ridge (Ronn Moss) by his mother, and Rick (Kyle Lowder) and Bridget (Ashley Jones) by his father.

Thorne grew up in the shadow of his big brother Ridge, giving him a desperate need to prove himself to his family. Thorne had a brief relationship with Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo) in 1998 during her pregnancy with Ridge's child. (Ridge was still with Brooke.) After Ridge found out the paternity of Thomas, Ridge returned to Taylor. Thorne returned to Macy. 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 had their first (and only) child, Alexandria (Harley Graham), named after Macy Alexander, in January 2004. They married in mid-2004 and were happily married until Darla's death in July 2006. Thorne was thrilled when, in 2004, his parents made him president of Forrester Creations. But when the eldest (and favoured) Forrester son, Ridge, decided to return to the company, Eric and Stephanie demoted Thorne to Vice President in favor 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 as the company's president.

Currently, Thorne is raising his daughter, Alexandria (Harley Graham), as a single parent, having broken off his engagement to Taylor Hamilton (Hunter Tylo).

Thorne saw minimal airtime until the first anniversary of Darla's death in July 2007, when it became apparent that Thorne was still grieving his wife, turning to drugs and alcohol. While at a bar one night, a drunken Thorne was offered a ride home by Brooke's sister, Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis). In Thorne's innebriated state, he hallucinated that Donna was Darla. Donna, angry with Stephanie over her treatment of Brooke, decided to take advantage of Thorne to get back at Stephanie. However, the wedding didn't happen, after Donna's sister, Katie Logan, told him the truth of her sister's real reason for marrying him. Thorne angrily broke off the engagement, and thanked Katie for her honesty. He and Katie have become friends, as each other can confide in one another. However, their friendship has become strained due to Katie discovering that he and Felicia were openly helping Stephanie sabotage Donna's relationship with Eric.
