The Bold and the Beautiful News Update: Ashley Jones Celebrates Her Son

Child characters on soaps often experience SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid-Aging Syndrome) where they go from toddlers to teenagers overnight. That doesn’t happen in the real world, but Ashley Jones of The Bold and the Beautiful would agree that time still goes by quickly when it comes to raising children.

“Each picture [is] incredibly sweet!” posted Lauralee Bell (Christine, The Young and the Restless). Jones’ former TV YR sibling, Sabryn Genet (ex-Tricia), posted: “Happy Birthday Sweet Hayden! I can’t believe you are 4 already! 💙🎂🎉”

Ashley Jones made her daytime debut in 1997 when she was cast as ingenue Megan Dennison on YR while Jones was still a student at Pepperdine University. She played the part for a few years, earning two Daytime Emmy nominations in the category of Outstanding Younger Leading Actress.

After leaving YR, Jones screen-tested for the role of Billie (which went to Julie Pinson) when Days of our Lives was recasting the part. Jones wasn’t done with soaps. She landed the role of Bridget in 2004 and has played the part on and off ever since.
