Bridget Forrester Steps Back Into the Spotlight

Big news is rocking the world of The Bold and the Beautiful. Fan-favorite Ashley Jones is officially returning to the soap as Bridget Forrester this October. Her comeback promises a wave of fresh energy, dramatic new storylines, and interactions fans have been waiting years to see.

Jones, who first joined the B&B family in 2004, has made several memorable returns over the years. Most recently, fans spotted her at the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Sunset Las Palmas Studios, sparking speculation about her future on the show. Now, it’s confirmed—Bridget’s story isn’t over yet.

What We Know About Bridget’s Return

Though the actress is keeping tight-lipped about specific details, Jones has teased that Bridget will step into uncharted territory. Viewers can expect her to interact with characters she’s never shared the screen with before, making this return especially intriguing.

The most likely path? Bridget’s hospital career could connect her to Dr. Finn, setting up medical drama with major ripple effects. Fans are already buzzing about what this could mean for Finn and Steffy’s world—and how Bridget’s presence might shake things up this fall.

Brad Bell’s Next Big Move

Jones admitted that writing for a half-hour soap can be a challenge, since not every character gets the spotlight.

That could mean big, unexpected stories for Bridget, depending on who she crosses paths with in the weeks ahead.

Still, her heart remains tied to The Bold and the Beautiful, and fans couldn’t be happier to see her back in Bridget’s shoes.
