The search for The Bold and the Beautiful's new Bridget Forrester has ended. The CBS soap has tapped a newcomer to daytime television to assume the role that will be vacated by Emmy winning actress Jennifer Finnigan early next year.
Newcomer Emily Harrison will take over for Finnigan in late January. Harrison has recently appeared on the NBC drama American Dreams and the WB series 7th Heaven, but this will mark her first foray into daytime television.
Finnigan taped her final B&B episode on December 15 and Harrison will tape her first scenes just two day later. Look for Finnigan to last air on January 22, while Harrison makes her first on-air appearance on January 26.
