It's not that Eileen's Ashley is a chemistry killer; it's that, as Sally Sussman boldly pointed out in her last run in an actual interview, Eileen-as-Ashley is such a unique force onscreen that it is almost impossible to find a man able to go toe to toe with her and make the pairing feel legitimate - her strongest male pairings are opposite her own bloodline. Sussman supposedly had a plan for that but it never materialized, or if it did (Graham?) people didn't like it. I think she had intended the whole Ravi thing to just be a palate cleanser for Ashley to usher in someone more permanent, but I liked them together period. Sue me.

Yeah, Graham would have been a great choice and they definitely had some hate chemistry. But alas.

 

And I liked her with Ravi as well. It was good to see Ashley explored in different ways period.

 

Other than that given the male partners over the last decade...Ashley had good chemistry with Terrible Tom as well.

Over the last twelve years or so, Y&R has had the bad habit of creating the circumstances for great chemistry between the wrong characters. Camry Grimes has had the most chemistry with her onscreen brother, Robert Adamson and Michael Graziadei, (beside her onscreen mom and would-be stepdad) an actor who really has no intention of returning full time to the show, so I've read. I remember the chemistry that Christel and Bryton had before the show made them foster-siblings. Also, the most engaged Doug Davidson seemed to be in, I don't know how long, was when he was running after his sister Party. It's almost like Y&R does this on purpose because they don't truly want to commit to writing for these characters.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
