If you're one of The Young and the Restless viewers who thought Ashley (Eileen Davidson) would soon regain control of her multiple personalities and return to being the Ashley fans are used to seeing, we have some bad news. As evidenced by the episodes airing during the week of April 22, Ashley has a brand-new personality that's taken over, simply known as Belle.
Belle seemingly replaces Ash, the teenage persona of Ashley that surfaced from time to time, and Belle is a Southern woman who's charming, witty and not afraid to use those characteristics to get what she wants. (If you're a fan of Golden Girls, think Rue McClanahan's Blanche Devereaux.) While Belle is more assertive than Ash, she's less dangerous and abrasive than Ashley's other persona, Ms. Abbott.
