During a break in filming, of what appears to be a wedding scene, Leachman can be seen braiding Jones‘ hair. The gesture left an impression on Jones, who wanted to wish her former co-star a happy birthday. “#ClorisLeachman may not remember me and trying to fix my hair in between scenes😳, but I will never forget her!” Jones wrote. “Happy 94th Birthday, funny lady, from a longtime fan. 🎂🥂🥂I can only imagine hearing your quarantine stories right now!”

Jones recently returned to BB for a party to celebrate Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) getting back together. As Bridget is both a doctor and a designer, there’s always potential for her to visit the canvas often. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS. Check local listings for air times.
