Ashley Jones from The Bold and the Beautiful just dropped a jaw-dropping secret that changes everything. While Bridget Forrester questions Grace Buckingham’s actions on-screen, Ashley has been busy producing a real-life crime thriller off-screen—and fans had no clue!
Double Duty: Ashley’s Bold Leap Behind the Camera
Ashley Jones didn’t just act—she owned the project. While juggling her daytime role as Bridget on The Bold and the Beautiful, she secretly took on the role of Executive Producer for a new Lifetime movie. Based on a shocking real-life crime from the 1980s, the film is part of the “Ripped from the Headlines” series and stars names like Alina Thompson, Lisa Aguilar, and even Courtney Stodden.
Ashley first pitched the idea over a year ago. Now, after months of silence, she finally unveiled the project on Instagram. “I can’t tell you how happy I am to talk about it,” she wrote, celebrating her hard-earned win. From concept to casting, Jones was in the driver’s seat.
Jones called the film an “’80s period true crime piece” and expressed deep pride in bringing it to life with her producing partner Pierre David. Unlike soap operas, where fiction thrives, this film digs into harsh realities. Ashley’s journey from Forrester drama to producing gritty content marks a bold evolution in her career.
As she continues filming intense hospital scenes on The Bold and the Beautiful, her off-screen hustle proves she’s more than just a daytime darling—she’s a powerhouse creator with sharp instincts and fearless ambition.
Soap Support and A-List Applause
The moment Jones posted about her new film, the support came pouring in. Fellow B&B cast member Naomi Matsuda couldn’t contain her excitement. “YASSSSS!!!!” she cheered. Over on The Young and the Restless, Lauralee Bell gave props with a “Great job EP 👏👏👏.” Ashley even hinted at teaming up with Bell on another project. The sisterhood is strong in daytime television!
Fans were just as excited. Many praised Ashley’s drive and dedication. Of course, with every celebration comes a few trolls. But Jones didn’t let negative noise dampen her moment. She stayed focused on the love—and the future.
Ashley’s producing success raises one big question—will it pull her away from The Bold and the Beautiful? For now, she’s still bringing Bridget’s brains and heart to the screen. But her growing success outside soapland hints at a bigger future in film. She hasn’t announced any exits yet, but fans are watching closely.
Her latest move proves that even in the world of dramatic twists and fashion feuds, the women of The Bold and the Beautiful are making waves in the real world too. Ashley Jones just showed us all how to turn daytime sparkle into Hollywood gold. From drama in the Forrester halls to exposing crimes from the past, she’s got range—and we’re here for it.
