The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Ashland Draws Victoria and Kyle Closer – Fatal Diagnosis Sparks Change

The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Ashland Locke’s (Richard Burgi) terminal cancer diagnosis creates an opportunity for a number of characters to shift their outlooks. What happens from here and how they adjust will have an effect on many lives.

Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) learned the chilling news from the source himself. Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) will get the relay from Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner) shortly.

Heinle and Mealor’s characters connected to Ashland in unexpected ways in recent months. Both of their lives will be impacted in deeper degrees moving forward.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Ashland Locke Gains Perspective

It took this dire diagnosis to change Ashland’s perspective. What he’s gained is a sense of importance.

Ashland’s connection with Harrison Locke (Kellen Enriquez) matters to him, even knowing that Kyle is the boy’s biological father. Burgi’s generally brusque alter ego offered compliments in Kyle’s regard, saying that he was intelligent and sincere, albeit gullible. Victoria agreed with those observations.

Ashland’s admission, that Victoria was right about him neglecting Tara during their marriage, is likely a telegraph of what’s to come. He’s setup to apologize to Tara for what happened in their marriage and her decision to keep Harrison’s paternity a secret.

Y&R Spoilers – Victoria Newman Taken With Someone Other Than Billy Abbott

Victoria has been drawn into Ashland’s life. Beyond any surface attraction, which included a physical draw and common business interests, Victoria now feels compassion for Ashland’s seemingly limited time on earth.

Who wouldn’t be sympathetic toward someone who’s been offering sincere flattery and then dropped news that he was going to die a short time later? Yes, the Ice Princess is melting in the presence of the Lockeness Monster.

This new pairing could help Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). Just as Ashland’s wrath toward Tara has evaporated due to his health news, so could Victoria become less interested in Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) expanding relationship with Lily.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Kyle Abbott Has An Out?

Summer Newman’s (Hunter King) worry level has been increasing. She realized that Tara’s desire to move to Genoa City, Wisconsin, was a pushed ruse. Harrison is the pathway into Kyle’s heart.

However, Ashland’s diagnosis means that Tara and Harrison will be tied to her his remaining months. That gives Kyle a window of time to marry Summer by August, as she intended.

Yes, these calculations are cold. But daytime drama is like that. Of course, Ashland could miraculously beat the odds, which would force further reactions by all involved on Y&R.
