When The Young and the Restless’ Ashley (Eileen Davison) returned from Paris for Abby (Melissa Ordway) and Devon’s (Bryton James) wedding, many fans assumed she was back and was doing much better in terms of her mental health. Well, in The Young and the Restless episode airing on December 10, Abby returns from her honeymoon with Devon and hears some interesting news from her mother.
In the episode, Abby asks how her mother is doing, and Ashley suggests that while Belle, Ms. Abbott and Ash are no longer making appearances, the brilliant chemist and businesswoman is still unable to determine what trauma occurred in her childhood that caused her dissociative identity disorder as an adult in the first place. Viewers will recall that while Alan (Christopher Cousins) firmly believed Ashley’s DID was triggered by the behavior of his brother Martin (Christopher Cousins), Alan believed the condition itself first originated after she went through some distressing events in her younger days.
