BLOWOUT: BRIDGET LEARNS THE TRUTH!
The bombshell that Nick slept with Katie on Catalina and got her pregnant finally comes out this week, and it's Bridget who explodes.
"It's a bad trainwreck, but you have to watch," says Ashley Jones. "Bridget's heart is broken, but in a very interesting way. It's not the same as when this happened with Brooke. This is a very different scenario, so she handles this very differently."
Much to Nick's surprise. Having set up a getaway on the Shady Marlin II to prep Bridget for his confession, he's shocked when he comes clean - and she fights dirty. "I played it as though Bridget is in such shock that the tears and the sadness...that's been paralyzed," explains Jones. "The strength kicks in, and the adrenaline kicks in. She lays it all on the line. It's those scenes where people where people are going to say, 'Finally! She's standing up for herself and telling him everything we've been wanting to tell him.' She goes really far. She gets physical, not with him, but she's uncontrollable. She just loses it."
As for Nick: "He regrets the decision he made; he wishes he could take it all back," notes Jones. "But it will be hard for the audience to back everything he's saying, because he always tells Bridget one thing and he tells Katie the same thing. Where is his heart? Nick saw this reaction from Bridget coming, and Katie did not. It didn't occur to Katie that their friendship would be over. The trust has been broken. Don't try to mend this."
That's exactly what Bridget soon makes clear to Katie. "Bridget has gained her composure. She's had time to think on her ride from Malibu to Beverly Hills. She lets Katie have it," says Jones. "Bridget hits her point home: 'You are not only my flesh and blood, you're my best friend. You said you would never betray me. While I was staying up trying to call overseas for a protocol to save your life, you slept with my husband-to-be.' There are so many things to say to her. Katie is, of course, overwhelmingly sad and in tears, but there's not a whole lot for her or Nick to say, because everything Bridget is saying is true."
But "Katie does try to defend herself," admits Jones. "'Well, I thought I was going to die.' It's really heartbreaking."
Still, Jones cheers the payoff to this twisted triangle. "It's really, really gratifying," she smiles. "Bridget needs this and the things that end up happening after this confrontation changes these characters forever. You have to tune in. It's a landmark in Bridget's life, a landmark for all three of them. It is not closure," teases Jones.
September 10 - Rick unwittingly restarts the Taylor vs. Brooke war.
The Forrester family gets the miracle they have been waiting for.
Ridge and Stephanie plot to bring Eric home.
Nick apologizes to Brooke.

Let's not even get started on all the stepfathers in her life, most of them related to her!
