The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ashley Jones Opens Up About Bridget’s Changes This Year

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Ashley said that she submitted a reel that felt very personal for her for this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards. As many B&B fans are probably aware of by now, Ashley has been nominated in the Outstanding Guest Performance category.

The actress put it this way in a new interview with the publication, “It’s pretty much the stuff that when [speaking in character] I came home thinking I was coming home for a big party or a fashion show, and then I got the news pretty much in real-time on the show [that] my dad is dying and [they] told me it’s really progressed. So it showed a myriad of emotions, a little bit of an arc there of getting excited to come home and see my family and then finding out this information — and no one told me. I’m the doctor.”

She continued, “So there was a bunch of very emotional, a bunch of grief and then anger at Ridge. And then she goes into doctor mode and helps save her dad with Tanner [Novlan, who plays] Finn on the show. So it was a really beautiful arc [from head writer] Brad [Bell, also B&B executive producer]…at least on paper, in the script, he wrote a beautiful arc for a lot of people. It really was a beautiful multi-generational storyline that involved a lot of the cast. [It] was really fun for me to get to go back and work with so many people. This is my 20th year on the show, and the character goes way back further than that. So the audience has invested in Bridget and invested in the whole Forrester family and the Logan family.”
