Y&R/B&B: Ashley Abbott is a most complex character study


Recommended Posts

i think Steph will meet her match in Ashley and actually have a lot of trouble with her. Remember, Victor always regarded his wife Ashley as his intellectual equal (more than his sextoy Nikki who was merely there to be his mother.) Ashley captivated Victor's mind and soul. Many people call Stephanie in her suit the Victor Newman of B&B. Steph does remind me of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in her clear cut perspective on how things should be done. Stephanie is essentially a man, we must remember. When she comes up against Ash, she will be stuck in a major rut. I don't think Stephanie will be able to work her out AT ALL. Ashley is not another Lauren Fenmore, putting it about like the overzealous dog in heat, she has a mind and will probably be the one who will truly knock the wind out of Steph's huge ass. I think its an exciting idea... there are NO CHARACTERS on the Y&R of today who have actually brought out anything in Ashley, hence why the character has not moved all these years. B&B's current canvas has a much more interesting ensemble. I have no faith in Brad Bell or any belief in his talent but im sure he will want to do right by his father's legacy of characterisations, and so will tap into Ashley's power as a character. The subtle ones are always those with the most to show for themselves!

Now that all the Spectra's are gone the cast just won't be the same. I do hope to see Eileen and Flannery work opposite one another though. Other than the late great Darlene Conley (RIP), and the recent Lesli Kay and Alley Mills, Susan Flannery hasn't had any real strong opposites to work with.

^^That's brilliant. Ash is both BOLD and BEAUTIFUL. I think we can look forward to her having conflict with both Brooke and Steph, especially since those two are on good terms with each other these days. Not to mention the jealousies.

I can't wait!! Ashley is going to be rocking on B&B and I hope Bradley does the character justice and doesn't screw it up! I could see Ashley and Stephanie butting heads along with Brooke and then a triangle would form, Thorne/Ashley/Storm!!! Get hate from both sides of the isle!! LOL!!!

    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
