As 2024 came to a close, I developed a bit of a wishlist for things I hope to see happen this year on The Young and the Restless. From cast returns like Tucker (Trevor St. John) and some of the Newmans to new storylines like a defeat for The Great Victor Newman himself (Eric Braeden), I was excited about the possibilities for 2025. Unfortunately, it looks as if one of my wishes for the new year won’t be fulfilled — at least right away.
Referring to storylines I desire to see, besides Victor’s temporary loss, I was actually looking forward to watching the big mystery surrounding Ashley’s (Eileen Davidson) dissociative identity disorder unravel. For months she walked around Genoa City displaying various personalities, and then when she went to Paris with Alan (Christopher Cousins) to get help, it was ultimately revealed that her mental health crisis originated from childhood trauma.
