- The star joined BTG in April 2026.
- The actress gave a hint about when viewers can expect her in Fairmont Crest.
See You Soon
Jones is no stranger to daytime TV. The actress got her soap opera start playing Megan on The Young and the Restless from 1997 to 2001. In 2004, she was cast as the new Bridget on B&B.
Now, Jones is taking on a new role on one of B&B’s sister soaps. Her BTG gig was announced in April and has already generated lots of buzz in the soap opera community.
Details about her character are still under wraps, but Jones might have dropped a hint about her airdate. In her June 2nd Instagram post, Jones responded to a fan’s inquiry about her potential start date.
“When will we finally see your beautiful face in Fairmont Crest?” asked the fan. “MONDAY!!!!!” Jones replied. “Ooops, not sure if I was supposed to say? 😂,” she then wrote.
If Jones’ airdate is on June 8th, it’ll be just in time for the highly anticipated BTG and Y&R crossover. The crossover will see Victor (Eric Braeden), Jack (Peter Bergman), Diane (Susan Walters), Kyle (Michael Mealor), Devon (Bryton James), and Abby Melissa Ordway) attending a Fairmont Crest political fundraiser.
The high-profile crossover event is already promising to be dramatic. Could Jones’ mystery character add to the chaos by making an appearance at the fundraiser?
Who Is Her Character?
So far, there have been no details about Jones’ character, but speculation is running rampant on who she could play. Many theories suggest that she could be Joey’s (Jon Lindstrom) daughter or sister. Other theories have her being a relative of Smitty (Mike Manning) or Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli).
But many people believe that Jones could be bringing Bridget to Fairmont Crest. B&B fans have been worried that BTG would mean the end of Jones’ tenure as Bridget. However, the actress assured fans that Bridget wasn’t going anywhere, and she’d still play the character.
Perhaps Bridget leaves Los Angeles for a temporary job at Garland Memorial Hospital. If so, her airdate falls just as Fairmont Crest is hit by a major disaster.
