The Week of October 6, 2025

After a few months off the canvas — she last aired in August — Ashley Jones is back as Dr. Bridget Forrester, Eric (John McCook) and Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) daughter. The character plays a pivotal role in establishing who the father of Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) unborn child is when she performs the paternity test. Jones offered an interesting take on her character’s career journey.

Former Big Brother winner Rachel Reilly, who returned to compete last summer on season 27 of the reality series, is set to make a pair of guest appearances on B&B. Once again, she’ll be playing Rachel, a waitress at Bikini Bar. This time around, however, the character will also be revealed to be an energy healer and spiritual cleanser. The character is set to air in November.
