The multi-talented, multi-tasking Ashley Jones is on her way back to The Bold and the Beautiful as Bridget Forrester! Jones was last seen in 2012! Jones was seen at the ACM Awards on Sunday night dazzling the red carpet.
Ashley tells Zap2it.com just what is going to go down when she returns to tape new episodes this week at CBS relating, “I’m only going in for three or four episodes as of right now, but there’s some fun stuff with Bridget’s mom (Katherine Kelly Lang). I specifically didn’t want to go back for a wedding or a funeral. I feel like this is too cool a character to come back and just sit in the background. That’s not that fun.”
Jones also says if B&B wants her back more on a regular basis she might be open to it revealing, “Someone can do three episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, then turn around and book a primetime show. That’s happening all the time. I did tons of other stuff while I was on [the soap], so I’m so grateful to the show, and they’ve been so good to me. This is a fun character the audience really responds to, so I’m open to whatever they might have in mind for her.”
What do you think about Ashley Jones returning to B&B? What do you see happening when Bridget returns on the canvas? Let us know your thoughts!

yeah yeah i love ashley jones as bridget. she is a wonderful actress. i hope she tell her mother off. brooke is a slut. always drama with brooke. i hope bridget slaps brooke and tells her mother what a slut she is. lol.
Nooooo!!! I was hoping Jennifer Finigan would return as Bridget and give Brooke the verbal beating of her life…. This is bad news. Jennifer was way better
cool. looking forward
I love it. I love Bridget and I love her relationship with her mother. Can’t wait to see her. Team Logan!
Can’t wait for Bridget to return. Wish she’d stay for longer.
I am happy for Ashley but have stopped watching BB. Wish her the best and always liked her in that role!
Meh! I know B&B celebrates its family but really, I would like to see the Forrester progeny more prevalent on the plotline canvas… Thorne, Felicia. The company is Forrester Creations and the idea all these in-laws, retread wives, and uneducated children (with no outside friends or interests!) have control disappoints. Without the strong core of a trunk, the tree branches hang loose.
Bridget Is A Forrester!
D’oh! Of course! I guess I really forget the Eric-Bridget connection as Bridget — in the personage of Ashley Jones — seememd more attached to her mother, Brooke, then to her father, Eric.
I stand corrected, and appreciate the fixing here, my friend.
See what all this near incest can do to the audience? 🙂
Bridget should return to the show along with Owen Knight, purchase and rename Jackie M and outperform Forrester Creations in the marketplace.
love it that Bridgette might be ciming back.
wish Bridgette could help save her Aunt Katie.
Love that Ashley is coming back, now that jack wagner is done with general hospital they should ask him to come back as nick and fix the owen logan story and make logan nicks and nick and bridget and Jackie m could become a power again. This would also give Ashley the chance to work with boyfriend jack wagner again.
I think Ashley could perhaps liven the show up some.The story line of Liam, Hope and Steffie have been quite boring. I felt as though I were watching a tennis match. Also distasteful friend of Mrs.Forrester the Doc hopping in bed with her ex Father N Law is disgusting. I would have hoped more for Tylor, it was a good line when she and the basement dweller Forrester were an item. I don’t care for Steffie, Tylor nor Liam,they need to be written out…Bring back the singer and his wife, with their baby..Still recording the show so I can whiz… Read more »
