Ashley Jones made her debut as Heather Armstrong on Beyond The Gates. Viewers are excited to see the trouble that her character will bring to Fairmont Crest. However, there’s also the question of what this means for Jones’ role as Bridget on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Key Takeaways
- Jones has played Bridget on B&B since 2004.
- The actress recently debuted as Heather on BTG.
- With her new role on BTG, fans are wondering if she’s leaving B&B.
Not Going Anywhere
Jones made her long-awaited BTG debut on Monday, June 8th. The actress was introduced as Heather, the younger sister of Joey (Jon Lindstrom). Heather is already causing trouble in Fairmont Crest after she revealed she’s The Impaler.
Heather’s certainly going to be a thorn in Joey’s side as she continues her illegal plasma ring. Fans are excited to see Jones and her character go toe-to-toe with Fairmont Crest’s finest.
With Jones in a new soap role, fans believe this might be the end of her as B&B’s Bridget. However, in an interview with Parade, the actress made it clear she still has a home at B&B.
“I’m super confident you’ll see Bridget before the end of the year. Hopefully way before then,” she told the magazine.
Jones, who’s played Bridget on and off since 2004, reveals that there will always be something for Bridget since she comes from two prominent families. As for what she’d like to see next for Bridget, the Daytime Emmy nominee has an interesting idea.
“With the drama with the Logans and the Spencers, it’s a lot of stuff that Bridget could tap into.” As fans might remember, at one point, Bridget contemplated giving up her medical career for a career in fashion. Posing as Madame X, Bridget got a job with Forrester Creations’ rival Jackie M.
Perhaps when Bridget returns, she might reignite her career as a designer. Given the latest fashion rivalry between Forrester and Logan, maybe Madame X could provide some assistance.
Different From Bridget
For the past 22 years, fans have become accustomed to Jones as good girl Bridget. But BTG’s Heather is a huge departure from her B&B character.
Going into a new role, one that’s different from previous one is a big adjustment for the audience. Jones understands that Heather might get compared to Bridget, but with time, fans will see the differences.
“I look a little like Bridget on the first episode, and then we kind of start to figure out her look. It’s a completely different character. There’s no Bridget there at all, so I don’t think it’ll be confusing.”
Viewers can watch Jones’ as the mischievous Heather weekdays on BTG. And hopefully, sometime this year, she’ll grace us with a Bridget return on B&B.
