13/19

With Phyllis’ help, Nick kept digging into the past of the man his sister was about to marry. It all led him to New Jersey where he learned of the death of a man named Bobby DeFranco. Ashland later confessed that he was DeFranco, and that he took his friend Ashland’s identity on after he perished in a fiery car crash. Victoria was disappointed that Ashland hadn’t volunteered the information but it was Nick she accuses of betraying her by not respecting her wishes and leaving the past alone.

heinle burgi ashland victoria wedding "The Young and the Restless" Set Wedding

14/19

Ashland and Victoria were married at the Tuscan palazzo gifted to them by her parents. Tension swirled between Victoria and her brother, Nick, who disapproved of the match, and her ex, Billy, brought a man from Ashland’s past to Italy to try and put the kibosh on the wedding. Despite the obstacles put in their path, Victor Newman delivered on his promise that nothing would interfere with the merger, er, nuptials. Victoria, wearing a gown by Sally Spectra, married the man she loved, Ashland Locke.

16/19

Ashland followed Victoria to make sure she was okay after their split and it turned out to be a good thing he did. It was a foggy night and Victoria was run off the road by Rey Rosales car when he took a heart attack and died at the wheel. Ashland also ended up in the bushes, but was able to fight his way out of his crashed car to save Victoria from hers just as it went up in flames. This let her see that he truly cared about her, but did not get him the reconcilation he was hoping for. Soon after, he signed Adam and Victor’s contract agreeing to an annulment and to walk away from the company in return for $500 million dollars.

17/19

Ashland spent his post-breakup time mooning around Genoa City telling anyone he crossed paths with that he genuinely loved Victoria, who had changed him and made him a better man. To prove it, he donated half of the money he got from Victor to Nick’s New Hope charity in memory of Rey Rosales. Victoria was moved by this and admitted she still had feelings, but stopped short of a reunion. But when even a trip to an exclusive Swiss spa couldn’t wash that man out of her hair, Victoria showed up on the day he was planning to leave town and the two shared a teary reunion, agreeing to take it slow.

19/19

Ashland confronted Victoria in her home on — what else — but a dark and stormy night. Things took a sinister turn before Nick showed up. The men got into it and Ashland fell and hit his head on the hearth. Nick and Victoria couldn’t find a pulse, stepped outside, and returned to the living room to find Locke gone. It turned out Victor’s men had removed the body and propped it up behind the wheel of his car at the bottom of a ravine. Nick was reluctant to let his pop cover for him this way, but eventually accepted it. Victoria broke the news of Ashland’s death to her kids and put her head down and focused on work.
