Bridget Nylund is a major one-off character in the 1985 NBC sitcom The Golden Girls. She is the daughter of Rose and the late Charlie Nylund, and the sister of Adam, Kirsten, Gunilla, and Charlie Nylund, Jr.
Bridget appears in the Season 2 episode "Family Affair". She is portrayed by Marilyn Jones.
Personality and Traits[]
Unlike her mother, Bridget is extremely witty, sensible, and well-read, studying in London. She has a sharp tongue, such as when she throws shade at Michael’s music career. She also is less prudish than Rose, sleeping with Michael after only knowing him for a day, though neither pursue anything romantic after it. Bridget desires to have an open relationship with Rose, wanting to tell her mother her secrets without judgment now that she’s not the perfect daughter Rose thought she’d be.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Bridget was born to Rose and Charlie Nylund in the small town of St. Olaf, Minnesota. She is the sister of Gunilla, Adam, Kirsten, and Charlie Jr.
At some point before the events of "Family Affair", Bridget was accepted into Oxford University in London, England. She found a flat on campus and planned to live there.[1]
Stopover in Miami[]
On her way to England, Bridget stopped by her mother's new home for a visit. She arrived just after Dorothy's son Michael, who had stopped by for a surprise visit, and the two began to bicker.. The next day, Bridget and Rose went out for breakfast. Blanche later gave her and Michael tickets to Henry Mancini's tribute to The Pink Panther, as Blanche was unable to attend due to her back injury. After the show, Bridget and Michael returned to the house and slept together.[1]
Soon after, their mothers and their host caught them in bed together, causing a rift between their mothers. Dorothy referred to her as a tramp, causing Rose to become angry, telling Dorothy that she never wanted to speak to her again. Not wanting her own actions to ruin her mother's friendships, Bridget approached Rose to talk about what had happened. Rose initially avoided the topic, but Bridget insisted that they talk as she wanted to have an open relationship with her.[1]
