BREAKDOWN

On the Monday, March 14 episode of “The Young and the Restless” (originally scheduled to air on Friday, March 11 before an earlier preemption shifted things), Ashland Locke might find his marriage to Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) upended when his father-in-law, Victor, (Eric Braeden), presents the Newman heiress with evidence that could prove Ashland is faking his life-threatening lung cancer.

In an interview featured in the current issue of TV Guide Magazine, on newsstands now, Robert Newman who portrays Ashland told the publication, “I’m not quite sure who the good guys are and who the bad guys are,” referring to the battle between his character and Victor Newman. “It’s like a fast-moving speed chess game that these two are playing, where Ashland is just trying to stay one move ahead.”

Thanks to Michael Baldwin (Christian Le Blanc), Victor is able to provide Victoria with the evidence he needs to prove Ashland has been lying to everyone which could change how Victoria feels about her husband.

“In my view, Ashland’s love for Victoria is real,” Newman says, “He’s figuring out how to protect his part of the business, but I personally think he’s petrified of losing her.”

In a promo for this week’s episodes, Victor is shown telling Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) that Ashland is a fraud and he needs Nate’s help in not allowing Ashland to further damage Victoria. Then, referring to her father, Victoria tells Ashland, “I’m going to fight him with everything that I’ve got.”

Later, Victoria yells at Victor, telling him, “You have finally crossed the line… there is no coming back from this!”
