Former Neighbours star Ash Brewer has quit Bold and The Beautiful after three years with the soap drama.
She broke the news this week, saying that she’s walking away from the series to focus more on her acting career – she hopes to emulate the success of fellow Neighbours star and friend Margot Robbie.
“I’m doing the acting thing in LA, onwards and upwards,” Ash told The Herald Sun.
“It’s definitely time for me and I’ve had Margot encouraging me for so long (saying) just leave it and see what happens. So I’m throwing caution to the wind now and keeping myself open to opportunities. I’ve been doing soaps for 10 years now. It’s daunting but so exciting.”
Ivy has a moment with Liam (Scott Clifton) on Bold.
Kate and Dominic (played by Lincoln Lewis) on Neighbours.
Ash joined the cast of Neighbours in 2009 as Kate Ramsay. She stayed on the show for five years until her character was killed in a shooting.
In 2013, Ash joined the cast of Bold, playing the role of Ivy Forrester, Eric Forrester’s niece.
Ash hopes to walk in the footsteps of her good friend, Margot. Just last week as the news was announced of Margot’s Oscar nomination for best actress in I, Tonya, Ash took to Instagram to cheer her on.
“It’s not everyday [sic] that you wake up to the news of your girl becoming an Academy Award nominee!! Mags, this is beyond deserved! What a year! (Oh and it’s only January 24th….. sh-t.),” she wrote.
It’s unknown how Ash’s departure will happen on Bold. Her character hasn’t been part of major storylines for a little while now, so we’ll have to see how it all plays out!
