Members Khan Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 I can see it now: Ashley returns, she and Stitch hook up, Victoria's baby is born, Stitch sues for and wins custody, the truth comes out, Stitch has to give up the baby to Victoria and Billy (the baby's real daddy, with whom Victoria has reunited), Ashley goes through the trauma of losing yet another child. Same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 I can't criticize Eileen for going with an easier job that she feels comfortable in. Ashley has been a non-character for 20 years and nothing will likely change that, but I have a feeling Eileen stopped caring about the material a long, long time ago.

Members ajsp35801 Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 I don't see anything they can do with Ashley. Abby could use a mother to play off of and to protect her from Victor who is bound to start trying to part Abby from Tyler in an effort to make Tabby happen. But that's it. Ashley had chemistry with Ben but I don't see the story there. Ben is not like Tucker who will screw up to bring angst to the pairing. Now, if they were bringing her back for Neil to free up Hilary, I would be super happy. But the odds of that are slim. They would recast Tucker for her first.

Members Soapsuds Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 It would be good to see a familiar face again after the whole DT mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 I am pretty sure that this is why we have Tracy filming again and Ashley coming back. To help along the acceptance of the recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 17, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 Totally made me think here.... It was a huge mistake to fire DT when he works well with THE ABBOTTS because he doesn't have chem with the human brick that needs a pairing to save her scrawny ass! Billy is an Abbott first!

Members Soapsuds Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yes..lots of chemistry with his family... BM and ED didnt get to work much with DT when they briefly returned for the pre wedding party... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 That right there was an obvious mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cattykittens Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 Ashley used as a door mat for town man-whore brought gloom not angst. I realize Ashley can be passive, but her run with Tucker was depressing to watch. Ashley playing the cougar with Ben could be lots of fun. I also remember ED saying she asked for Ashley to be paired with Neil. They had a super sexy bed scene , but unfortunately he was only used as a plot point for hooking her up with Tucker. Ashley's relationship with Tucker should be over. Even a re-cast Tucker, with a revamped personality, doesn't change the fact he cheated on her twice, both times in the bed she shared with him. Saddling Ashley with Tucker, again, would be miserable from day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 Agree with all. Hated Tucker and Ashley from the outset because of how Neil was pushed aside. I would have let it slide if it had turned into a real rivalry with Neil but they never played that. They forced Tucker in as a rival for Victor instead.

Members Days22 Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 So after this stint it really will be even more of Days of Daniel Jonas :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted June 17, 2014 Members Share Posted June 17, 2014 I thought ED's loyalty laid in the Bell family so I figured that if she were to leave DAYS she would have headed to BB rather than YR tbh. I know BB has its plate full as it is but her ashley abbott visited and shared a past with Ridge didnt she? A Ashley/nuRidge story might have been far more riveting that whatever jfp has up her sleeve for ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 18, 2014 Members Share Posted June 18, 2014 I can't fault Eileen because this is a personal decision, it's about her life and what's best for her family. Y&R is an easier gig that pays better and is willing to succumb to the schedule she gives them. DAYS is, by far, the showcase for Eileen's talents. Kristen flies, she is a brilliant character, one of the daytime greats...but she is exhausting to play, especially given the way she has to feature: intensely. Thus, I will delight in the 12 weeks of Kristen, and be happy for Eileen that she's cashing in at Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted June 18, 2014 Members Share Posted June 18, 2014 Agreed. Plus, I believe ED is right - Kristen should only be in for arcs - the character is so over-the-top and a catalyst - it doesn't make sense to ever have Kristen sitting at Salem Place bumping into people for no reason or rehashing Daniel's latest antics. I also believe after the last DAYS gig, which far surpassed the original Kristen run, Y&R is able to craft Ashley to be a little more sexy and aggressive than before (given the long history of the character), it would not be a stretch. Just no victim Ash, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted June 18, 2014 Members Share Posted June 18, 2014 I can't imagine JFP not using the character or ever offering a contract to a woman her age unless the show wanted to use Ashley, had story planned for her. Unless Sony were involved but I doubt that. So good for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
