Former Neighbours star Ashleigh Brewer has joined the cast of US soap The Bold and the Beautiful. The Australian actress, who played Kate Ramsay on Neighbours, will appear in the role of Ivy Forrester on the CBS series. Ivy will be the niece of patriarch Eric Forrester (John McCook) and will make her first appearance in early July.
The Bold and the Beautiful executive producer and head writer Bradley P. Bell said: "We are thrilled to introduce Ashleigh, whose poise and talent are already well known in Australia and the UK. "Ivy is the daughter of Eric's younger brother, John Forrester, who has been living in Sydney. A young, worldly designer, Ivy is brought in to work on the new Hope for the Future jewellery line. "It won't be long before she finds herself deeply entangled in the lives and loves of our younger generation."
