Soap Vet Ashley Jones Joins the Cast of Beyond the Gates
Soap hopper Ashley Jones will be adding yet another daytime role to her resume as she joins the cast of Beyond the Gates! Although there are currently no details available as to which character she will be playing, or when viewers can expect to see her on screen, a spokesperson for the CBS soap tells Soap Opera Digest, “We can confirm Ashley Jones will be appearing in Beyond the Gates.”
Going Above and Beyond
Jones made her daytime debut playing Megan Dennison on Young and Restless from 1997-2000, and earned two Daytime Emmy Award nominations for her work. She then went on to play Dr. Bridget Forrester on Bold and Beautiful from 2004-10, returning for additional appearances over the years that followed, notching another Daytime Emmy nomination in 2024, this time in the Outstanding Guest Performance category.
From 2016-17, Jones moved over to ABC Daytime, where she played the recurring role of Parker Forsyth on General Hospital from 2016-17. The actress has also appeared in numerous prime time series like True Blood, 90210, and Major Crimes, as well as in movies like Homekilling Queen and Saving My Daughter.
Eagle-eyed fans first spotted Jones in a video posted to X/Twitter by BTG cast member Maurice P. Kerry (Randy) of the cast and crew celebrating the soap being renewed for two more seasons by CBS. The actress can be seen standing next to Kerry wearing the same black sleeveless top she has on in an Instagram Story where she was talking to the camera about still being at work after a long day. In a subsequent Story, Jones showed off her late-night pizza dinner, noting that she was “all by myself somewhere in Atlanta.” BTG tapes at Assembly Studios in Atlanta, GA.
The first new daytime drama since Passions in 1999, BTG premiered on CBS on February 24, 2025, and by May, had already been renewed for a second season. In April 2026, the network announced that the soap had been renewed for another two years, taking it through the 2027-28 television season. This role will reunite Jones with her former B&B co-star, Karla Mosley, who used to play Maya on that soap before taking on the role of Dani Dupree starting with BTG’s first episode.
