Ashley Jones has joined the cast of ABC soap opera General Hospital as Parker Forsyth, the professor with whom Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) has an inappropriate relationship.

"They were so secretive about it that I've been scared to tell anyone," Jones told Soap Opera Digest. "They made it very clear that [Parker's gender] was a reveal and they didn't want me to give it away." Jones has shot two episodes so far, and is thrilled to be part of the show. "I've watched General Hospital over the years, so it's just a pleasure to see all these people on set and in and out of the makeup room."

Jones previously played Bridget Forrester on CBS daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful.
