Soap fans are seeing Ashley Jones in a new light with her Beyond the Gates role. The actress is known for portraying good girl Bridget Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful, but now she’s Fairmont Crest’s newest villain. And her new role is one that Jones is enjoying.
Key Takeaways
- Jones made her BTG debut as Heather on June 8th.
- Heather is a huge departure from Jones’ B&B character Bridget.
- The actress is loving her new role as a villain.
New Vibe
Jones is famous to soap fans for her performance as B&B heroine Bridget, a role she has played since 2004. But now the actress is unleashing her bad girl side as Heather on BTG.
The Daytime Emmy nominee made her debut on Monday, June 8th, and is already gaining plenty of attention. Heather is Joey’s (Jon Lindstrom) sister and The Impaler. As the mastermind behind the plasma ring, Heather’s creating trouble for Fairmont Crest.
It’s only been a week into Jones’ debut, but the actress is already loving the role and the fan support. “This is seriously a trippy role,” the actress wrote in an Instagram story. “Hope you keep up because she’s a vibe.”
Jones went on to say that she hopes B&B fans will enjoy the new ride with BTG’s Heather. “Truly, any one of you from @boldandbeautifulcbs tuning in now to this show is really cool. Heather is really cool. DVR and let’s discuss lol.”
Joey’s New Troublemaker
Joey is used to causing trouble in Fairmont Crest, but now there’s another Armstrong threatening to take over. Not only has Heather created a racket with her illegal activities, but she’s also becoming a thorn in her brother’s side.
Heather wants Joey in on her plasma ring and has been pressuring him to accept the offer. He has rejected his sister’s offers so far. Joey is trying to be a better man for Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli), but his progress might be thwarted by his sister.
During Heather’s recent appearance on the Tuesday, June 16th episode, she once again asked Joey to partner with her. Joey turned down Heather, who then revealed she’s going back to London. However, Joey and fans might not have seen the last of Heather.
With the Red Market plasma ring investigation still ongoing, it’s a matter of time before it leads to Heather. If Heather is caught, it puts Joey in a tough predicament. Does he help his sister, or does he choose Vanessa and risk losing Heather? There may be complicated days ahead for the siblings.
