Trust Issues: Who Should Believe Ashland on The Young and the Restless?

From the moment Ashland Locke appeared on The Young and the Restless, he’s been lying. About who he is, what he’s done, how he made his money, and where his loyalties lie.

Trust Issues on The Young and the Restless

This didn’t stop Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) from marrying him, merging companies with him, and insisting that her family adore him – now! It also didn’t stop Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) from covering up his new son-in-law’s crimes. They may love him…but should they trust him? What over 4,000 fans believe:

Never Ever

It wasn’t even close, as 88% of you voted to tell all of Genoa City that not a single soul should trust Ashland (Richard Burgi), not even the people who are sleeping with him – or the ones giving him access to their money. Victor can play him, Victoria can use him, and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) can take care of his kid. But, no one should believe a word out of Ashland’s mouth.

You and Me Against the Young and the Restless World

Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow) can continue to make frowny faces at Ashland, and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) can wonder if they’re out to get him, but 9% of the audience believes that Victoria can trust the man she married. Sure, Ashland is a schemer and a liar, but it’s clear he wants to scheme and lie with Victoria, not against. And that’s the definition of soap-opera love.

Good Boy

Aw, Ashland is a pussycat now, 3% of very optimistic voters insist. Now that he loves Victoria, he has lost all of the instincts that prompted him to be dubbed the Lockeness Monster. Or the one that left his best friend to die and stole his identity. Or the one who betrayed his mentor by stealing her money. But that was all before he found love. Now he’s no threat to anyone.
