Bridget Erin "Beach" Hennessy, Portrayed by Kaley Cuoco, is the beautiful, dim-witted oldest child of Cate and Paul's three. She is depicted as a stereotypical blonde, popular bombshell who is interested in her looks, teenage boys and little else. She has many times mentioned she wears thongs. Whilst dating Donny Doyle, Bridget once complained that all she had left was thongs having worn her "only real ... underwear to church". Sometimes she has a deep or intelligent moment, but these are few and far between. After her father dies, she starts to mature more. Bridget feels guilty about Paul's death because the last words she ever spoke to him were "I hate you" after arguing with him earlier that morning.
