Bold and the Beautiful Comings and Goings April 27-May 1: Ashleigh Brewer Exits… for Now
Ashleigh Brewer has headed off on maternity leave at The Bold and the Beautiful.
A popular actress, Ashleigh Brewer, has left The Bold and the Beautiful… at least for now, and there’s a pretty big reason for that. Here is the casting news for the week of April 27 through May 1.
The Week of April 27, 2026
Ashleigh Brewer has departed the soap as Ivy Forrester… at least for now. The character packed up her things and left her post at Forrester Creations after being exposed for her manipulative actions to break up Electra (Laneya Grace) and Will (Crew Morrow). Once the truth about the stolen letter came out, Ivy found herself with little support and even fewer options, forcing her exit from both the company and her niece’s life.
The actress, who’s expecting her first child with husband Mark Bauch, is currently off on maternity leave. (Brewer announced the happy news on Valentine’s Day.) She made her last appearance on April 24, closing out a dramatic stretch that firmly placed Ivy at the center of the storyline. The door, however, has been left open for Brewer’s return, especially after Ivy made it clear she doesn’t intend to stay away for long.
