Could Jon Hensley Fill Ronn Moss' Speedo on Bold and Beautiful?




As The World Turns hunk Jon Hensley has been recurring on The Bold and the Beautiful as Dr Meade for quite some time now. However, with Ronn Moss exiting the role of oft-naked fashion designer Ridge Forrester, could the good doc be the answer to keeping the carnal activities going in Brooke's (Katherine Kelly Lang) bedroom? Here's what Hensley said regarding his desire to work with Lang in Sept. 10 issue of Soap Opera Digest:

"I've always wanted to work with her, but I knew it wasn't a possibility because she was tied in to Ronn," Hensley shares. "Now that that's dissolved somewhat, that door has opened. It would be nice, even if it's just for a few weeks. Nobody has mentioned that to me [yet] because I don't think anybody thought it was an option, but we'll see! I think it would be great. It's completely open at this point. I don't have any attachements to anybody or anything, so if they chose to use me, they could really go in any direction they want. I'm totally down with it!"
