Will Bridget Return to Bold and the Beautiful? Ashley Jones Breaks Silence on Her Future—And Fans May Be Disappointed
A Familiar Face Fans Are Begging to See Again
She’s been part of The Bold and the Beautiful since 2004, but Ashley Jones’ appearances as Bridget Forrester have become more and more sporadic. After a brief return in October 2025, fans were hopeful we’d see more of Bridget—especially after her critical role in confirming Will Spencer as the father of Luna’s unborn child.
But as the holidays approach and other characters gear up for weddings, health crises, and dramatic family feuds, Bridget’s absence is being felt. So, what’s the holdup?
Ashley Jones Speaks—And It’s Not the News We Hoped For
In a recent Q&A on Instagram, Ashley Jones was bombarded with questions about Bridget’s next appearance. Her answer? A shrug and some sad emojis. “I don’t know 😳😳,” she admitted, dashing hopes of a holiday surprise return.
While her answer was honest, it left fans feeling uncertain. After all, Bridget’s appearances are often pivotal—she’s not just a background player. Whether it’s saving Katie Logan, revealing secret DNA results, or offering unexpected wisdom, Bridget’s returns have always packed emotional weight.
A Busy Life Behind the Scenes
Part of the reason for Bridget’s limited airtime? Ashley Jones is thriving off-screen. The actress has been writing, directing, and producing, including her starring role in The Girl Who Survived: The Alina Thompson Story, which premiered on Lifetime in September.
Jones also mentioned she still has unreleased footage from the recent B&B fan event, teasing that she’ll try to share those moments with fans soon. In the meantime, viewers hoping for a Bridget-heavy storyline will need to be patient.
What Could Bring Bridget Back?
If Bridget does return in 2026, several key storylines could pull her back to Los Angeles. Hope and Liam’s wedding might offer the perfect setting for a cameo appearance—especially if Bridget wants to support her younger sister.
However, the more likely (and dramatic) option is a medical emergency. The show has been quietly hinting at Katie Logan’s worsening heart condition, and there’s no one better equipped—or more emotionally invested—than Dr. Bridget Forrester. Could she return to save her aunt once again?
One thing is certain: Bridget’s story is far from over, and whenever she does walk back into Forrester Creations or GFC, fans will be ready.
