Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) found Ashland’s assertion, that a top Newman-Locke executive should be replaced by one of his New York buddies, to be rather troubling. But Ashland acted as though it was no big deal when clearly, Victoria’s Chief Operating Officer disagreed.

Ashland does seem enchanted with Victoria. Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner) was impressive in her own right. She appeared to be the mother of Ashland’s child, Harrison Locke (Kellen Enriquez), but was not.
