In 2017, Australian actor Ingo Rademacher was cast in the role; he made his first appearance on November 27, 2017.
Casting and creation
[edit]Actor Clayton Nocross first debuted in the role of Thorne in the serial's premiere episode on March 23, 1987. He remained in the role until September 12, 1989,[1] when he was recast with Jeff Trachta, who made his first appearance on September 13.[2] In 1996, Trachta was let go from the role and was recast with former All My Children actor Winsor Harmon. In May 2010, it was announced Harmon had been downgraded to a recurring capacity, following a "mutual decision" between Harmon and the higher ups at The Bold and the Beautiful.[3] On September 23, 2017, Harmon announced that executive producer Bradley Bell intended to recast the role of Thorne.[4] Two days later, TV Insider's Michael Logan announced that former General Hospital actor Ingo Rademacher had been cast in the role of Thorne. He made his first appearance in November 2017.[5] Discussing the recast with Soap Opera Digest, Harmon stated: "It shocked me, especially since [Executive Producer Brad Bell] had called said, 'I want you to come to the fan club event [in August].' I was told there was a storyline coming and then [a month later], I got the call from him that he was going to recast the role. So yeah, it was a bit of a shocker, I have to say."[6]
