Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi) was dubbed the Lockeness Monster by Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). He was right to fear the creature from the east, as Kyle’s cavort with Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner) led to the paternity reveal.
An increasing number of Genoa City, Wisconsin, residents are becoming aware of what Victoria refers to as a friendship with Ashland. But might Victoria be on the way to updating her nickname? The Lockeness Princess could work.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Mixing Business And Pleasure
Victoria seems to be strategizing. Ashland created a tie to her father and youngest brother when he sold Cyaxares to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman).
Ashland sits on the board of the re-branded communications company, Newman media. That gives him some insight into Victor and Adam’s motivations.
Victoria is aware that Ashland is divorcing his wife. With that knowledge, Heinle’s character is now open to more frequent conversations, dinner, and the potential start of a true romantic relationship.
Y&R Spoilers – Ashland Locke’s Measured Objectives
Ashland has been married for a number of years. He thought his relationship with Tara was on solid ground. Realizing that it wasn’t, the likely single guy is looking for companionship.
Victoria represents an intriguing option. She heads Newman Enterprises, is tied to GC’s most powerful family, and is unmistakably beautiful.
Burgi’s character also recognizes that pursuit of Victoria would send a signal to Tara that he’s already moved on. Like Victoria, Ashland also sees the business value in being personally linked to someone who has insight into Victor and Adam.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Victoria Newman Calls The Shots
Victor is keeping his distance from Newman Enterprises, as Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) recently pointed out. Victoria yelled at him in the recent past, forbidding her father from being at the company that he built, formed into an empire, and then allowed her to take over within the last year.
All who know the Moustache understand that Victoria only believes that she’s calling the shots. Victor is allowing her to run the show while he’s busying himself with the Newman Media side project.
So, Victoria is calling the shots for now. One includes allowing Ashland to believe he’s pursuing her. But as with all things Newman, she controls that game and will determine whether her nickname is adapted to include a connection with the Lockeness Monster.
