    We all remember MTS last year thought she was done and I think she would have been but for her fans taking to social media.
    They had to rethink that one.I also think MTS had to make some changes.JMO

    Quote Lucy3: Here's what puzzles me. Did they just drop her without a storyline that has her leaving? If not then they must have someone waiting in the wings to just step right into her part. That will certainly be strange. There must have been some reason for such sudden action but we may never know what it was. I'm surprised she didn't get some sort of explanation.
    Thanks Lucy.Thats exactly whatI was trying to say before.We might now like it,and believe me,I don't,but you wouldnt let a 'core' character go for no reason.I'm waiting in the wings to see if we get a recast or death.



    She has been in contract negotiations and they didn't like what she wanted so they let her go. Something to do with money I heard.
    Thanks Lady.Where did you read this,can I ask?Money...isnt it always about the money.Sheese I figured it had to be something.She's been around forever on this show.Bottom line is....ya can't always get what you want. (if thats what it turns out to be)


    Thanks for the 'update'. Sorry Ashley can't be portrayed like someone who marries their baby's kidnapper or has sex with her father-in-law. Or maybe she should rape her man like Daisy or Chelsea did.

    Quote ski lady: Ashley will be missed by so many. She is beautiful and a wonderful actor. What are the writers thinking? So many new, undeveloped, uninteresting characters on the canvas and a long-term, loved character is let go. So sad.


    Totally Agree with you....Unbelievable

    Quote grammapam: The thing that I keep going back to,is that no-one is let go from a show without good reason.We may never know,and it's really not our business.Why would you get rid of a 'core character' unless you had reason to?It must be something major.Think about it.

    Having said all that,I will miss ED.She brought Ashley to life in ours homes every night.I will miss her playing the part and wish her nothing but the best for her future.

    Now we wait to see if they will kill her off.I'm thinking a re-cast.Ash plays a huge part in the show.




    ___

    The last time they let ED go, which was around 2006 I think, she went to work for B&B.


    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eileen_Davidson

    ....After a successful return as Ashley Abbott, which included Davidson's second Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress, Davidson was fired from the show.

    In December 2006, Davidson told TV Guide that she was fired from The Young and the Restless due to lack of storyline.[5] Her last airdate as Ashley was January 11, 2007.

    According to co-star Melody Thomas Scott, the firing was protested behind the scenes of The Young and the Restless and was seen as unfair.[6] Scott said: "That was so heartbreaking. We're still upset about that. That was a blow. Terrible. Eileen Davidson was such a part of the core of the show and such a brilliant actress; beautiful and always prepared. It was crazy. I'm not the only one who feels that way."[6]

    In a surprise move a few months later, Davidson signed a three-year contract with The Young and the Restless's sister soap The Bold and the Beautiful to once again play her The Young and the Restless character Ashley Abbott at the request of The Bold and the Beautiful executive producer Bradley Bell. She first aired on March 9, 2007.[7]



    ...After she was fired from The Young and the Restless but before being cast in The Bold and the Beautiful, her niece Devon Martt, a fashion designer, approached her about designing clothes together. Davidson liked the idea and formed a clothing company called Femmeology.

    Davidson co-wrote her first novel with author Robert J. Randisi, a mystery set in the soap opera world titled Death in Daytime, released in October 2008. She followed it up with three sequels: Dial Emmy for Murder (2009), Diva Las Vegas (2010), and Swinging in the Rain (2011).[8]

    In July 2008, Eileen was downgraded to recurring status at The Bold and the Beautiful. She returned to The Young and the Restless full-time as Ashley on September 26, 2008.

    On Wednesday 9th May 2012, Eileen announced via her twitter account that she was officially fired from The Young and The Restless.

    She does make a lot of money on the side, so she probably didn't want to accept the huge pay cut that SONY was demanding. She probably didn't want to sit around if Ashley was going to be nothing more than Abby's 'advisor' in life.

    I'm sorry to see Ashley go,as well. While I'm
    not a BIG fan of the character and not a regular viewer
    of the show,I,still,think that it's messed-up that she
    is leaving,yet,other less important characters are staying.
    For now,anyway.(*winks*) I.e. Tucker,Harmony,Sophia,Daisy,
    etc... What's WRONG with THIS picture? MAB is,imo.a
    doofus,as an EP and a third-rate writer,who appeals to
    the base instincts of humanity;sex,adultery. Why she has
    yet to be fired,is MIND-BOGGLING!
    It's true,that ED has been with the show,OFF and ON,for
    30 years.(So her departure,THIS time,isn't
    new). And,maybe,the "writers",couldn't think of anything
    new for Ashley to do,besides be an appendage to her scum-
    bag husband,Tucker.(*frowns,rolls eyes*) Still,there are
    other characters/actors,on the show,who should've been
    given THEIR walking papers,before ED!(*frowns*)JMO.

    I think it's a shame if they are letting her go. And I hope it's not so they can have all these younger characters on for the summer...it's kids of characters we care about but still. The Abbott family needs to remain a presence. There is so much story they could do for her...Vic is at loose ends, she and Sarge IMO had some chemistry, getting back at Tucker or finding out she is pregnant...I so wanted Ashley to have Katherine Chancellor's grandchild.

    If it is because of money, I don't know why actors can't be like most other people today and take a pay cut. At least it would still be a paying job. There are millions of people out of work right now that probably would have rather taken a pay cut than lose work. At least she has her books on the side to bring in money.
