The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Tara Locke ‘Power-Hungry Maniac’ Just Like Ashland, Elizabeth Leiner Says

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that in Genoa City, Wisconsin we briefly met Tara Locke when she came to Genoa City before. Now she will be coming with her brutal businessman husband, Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi). But don’t think for a second that Tara is a victim or a scared wife. She’s just as much of a “power-hungry maniac” as Ashland, Elizabeth Leiner says.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Why She Married Ashland Locke

Y&R spoilers reveal that we are about to meet Ashland (or by the time you read this, you may already have). However, don’t think for a second that Tara is unhappy in her marriage. She married Ashland for money, power, and status, Leiner told SoapCentral. While some women would later regret that decision, Tara doesn’t. She’s quite happy being Ashland’s wife because of what it provides her. She is also fiercely protective of her life and won’t let an affair with a boy — Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) jeopardize that.

In addition to protecting her marriage — or shall we say, what her marriage gives her — Tara protects her son just as much. Kyle is asking Tara a lot of questions and expecting answers. She is trying to nicely persuade Kyle to leave things alone. Meanwhile, she’s trying to figure out exactly what Ashland is up to. She knows it isn’t just unloading Cyaxares. Tara knows Ashland well and it’s clear to her that he has ulterior motives for coming to Genoa City that go beyond business.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Kyle Abbott Will Be A Challenge

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Tara successfully kept her affair and Harrison’s biological father a secret for a long time. However, everything could fall apart now and she will find it a challenge to keep things secret. Even though Leiner only discussed the issue of Harrison’s paternity being an issue, we have a feeling Kyle is going to fight.

“She is super smart, but I think she is being challenged now with this new landscape and having to navigate the new players of this game. So, I think she’s seeing that there is this huge obstacle that she’s going to have to figure out a way around.”
