Bold & Beautiful’s Ashley Jones Lands ‘Killer’ Movie Role Based on a True Story

Ashley Jones, beloved by fans of The Bold and the Beautiful for her long-running role as Bridget Forrester, has just scored a career-defining part outside of daytime television. The Emmy-nominated actress has landed a leading role in a brand-new film project—a “killer” true-crime movie based on a real-life story that shocked the nation.

The announcement has set Hollywood and the soap world buzzing, as Jones transitions from the glamorous but turbulent Forrester world to portraying a darker, grittier character in a project inspired by chilling real events.

A Role That Pushes Boundaries

According to early details, the film will explore a shocking true-crime case involving betrayal, obsession, and murder. While producers are keeping the exact identity of the real case under wraps until closer to release

, insiders confirm that Jones will play a central figure: a woman whose seemingly perfect life hides devastating secrets.

Ashley is said to be diving deep into the psychology of her character, who becomes entangled in a web of lies and violence. The role will give her a chance to stretch her acting muscles far beyond the polished world of Forrester Creations, showcasing her range in a story filled with intensity, suspense, and tragedy.

From Soap Icon to True-Crime Star

Ashley Jones is no stranger to dramatic roles. Since joining The Bold and the Beautiful in 2004 as Bridget Forrester, she has captivated fans with storylines involving love triangles, betrayals, and emotional family struggles. She has also appeared on The Young and the Restless, further cementing her place as one of CBS Daytime’s most versatile performers.

But while soap operas thrive on high drama, Ashley’s new role represents something entirely different. Instead of fictional scandal, this project forces her to channel real-life heartbreak, fear, and trauma. That challenge, insiders say, is exactly why she accepted the part.

“This is the kind of role actors dream of,” one source close to production revealed. “Ashley gets to tell a story that is raw, emotional, and based on real events that touched so many lives. It’s going to shock people, but it’s also going to show them just how talented she is.”
