Bobby DeFranco himself told that he knew there was nothing he could do for his friend and he swapped his ID for Ashland’s ID and fled the scene; but Nick and Billy didn’t actually have “Ashland’s” remains exhumed.

Nick found paperwork indicating a death certificate for Bobby DeFranco, but it’s possible it could have been forged, since DeFranco has basically forged his whole life – Gaines’ father could easily have faked a death certificate and had it filed!

      interesting story line with the "real" Ashland coming back. Who would Victoria be married to?

      She isn’t legally married to the current Ashland anyway, since he isn’t the real Ashland Locke or the minister was a fake one to begin with .

      It would be very interesting if the real Ashland showed up and wasn't interested in Victoria or even women at all. He could develop a thing for Noah who had a relationship with a man in London and that's why he doesn't want to talk about it because he is still struggling with his sexuality.

      Bring back Richard Burgi- amazing actor that actually made a boring role much more interesting and livened up Victoria as well. You can’t just make that kind of chemistry- when it’s there, it makes the whole show better. They should remember why they kept the story going much longer than planned. It was a mistake – but he shouldn’t lose his job for it.
