Soap Vet Ashley Jones Recalls How The Young And The Restless Changed Her Life
Ava Bailey On Instagram, Ashley Jones recently reminisced about her time on "The Young and the Restless" and its impact on her life. She posted several pictures from her "Y&R" days, writing, "I was a teenager when I got a call from [Ro Diamond] and [Steven Kelley Jang] (still my agents) that Bill Bell hired me as a possible recurring guest star on his hit show @youngandrestlesscbs to play Megan Dennison. It turned into a long run with the Bell family — with two Emmy noms playing sweet Megan. (I lost both times to cast mates on Y&R: the amazing Camryn Grimes and my dear, immensely talented Heather Tom). I've always said Bill Bell changed my life."
Regarding the 50th anniversary celebration of the show, Jones continued, "I cannot wait to celebrate with many friends, new and old. And to celebrate with y'all!! Soap fans are the best fans. I'll make sure to take lots of [behind the scenes] stuff at the party." While family and close friends sent loving memories, one fan chimed in, saying, "Amazing. Look forward to seeing your pics. Soap fans are very loyal, hope to see you on 'Bold' later this year." A surprised fan also complimented Jones, replying, "Whoa! You haven't changed!
We can't wait to see all the major comebacks during the 50th anniversary of "Y&R" and wherever Jones pops up next!
