'Young and The Restless' Spoilers: Ashland Locke's SHOCKING Secrets

Young And The Restless spoilers hint Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi)’s bombshell past is about to explode. He is about to marry Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle). It would not be a soapy wedding if a secret past did not rear its ugly head. Y&R spoilers for the week of August 23 to August 27 reveal three of the men in Victoria’s life have deep reservations about her groom to be. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) will look to dig up dirt on Ashland. They will discover an interesting fact.

It seems a young Mr. Locke had a steamy affair with a wealthy older woman. Could that woman have been Dina Mergeron (Marla Adams)? There are many reasons why that would amp up the drama on the CBS soap.

Young And The Restless Spoilers – Ashland And Dina’s Secret Past?

Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) will reveal that she is writing a novel about Dina’s life in Paris, per Y&R spoilers. At the same time, Ashland’s past is being investigated. It turns out that Billy is the first to learn of Ashland’s fling with a wealthy cougar. Savvy soap fans know there are no coincidences on The Young And The Restless. They also will recall Dina has quite the philandering past. Yes, Dina loved her boy toys. Ashland could have been one of her flings. Dina’s affairs caused many issues in her family. Would this be any different?

When Ashland was first introduced, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) knew who he was. He had a business rivalry with John Abbott (Jerry Douglas). It may be possible that their rivalry was a result of Dina’s fling with the young Locke. Or maybe Ashland initiated the affair to attempt some kind of business coup. Given Dina’s preference for boy toys, it would have been easy to manipulate her. Ashland may have used her but what did he have to gain?

Ashland’s Secret Agenda On The Young And The Restless?

There are still many questions about the business mogul. So far he has not lived up to his ruthless reputation. However, he may have been laying the groundwork for his true motives. He came to Genoa City and pitted three companies against each other in a bid for his media company. Also, his estranged wife targeted Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). Many Y&R fans believe he and Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner) we’re in cahoots. Was Harrison Locke (Kellen Enriquez) just a means to an end? There are still doubts regarding the paternity of Tara’s son. It may be that Ashland came to Genoa City to target the Abbotts. Did Victoria give him an opening to take control of Newman? History may repeat itself if spoilers are correct and Ashland is using another wealthy woman to get ahead in business.

If Dina was involved with Ashland there could be other surprises in store. Could Dina have given him an opening into Jabot? That would certainly cause anxiety in the Abbott clan. Jack may have PTSD if an affair with his mother becomes public. Also, Victoria is showing signs of doubt about her relationship. Learning of Dina may add to her doubt. Ashland’s possible involvement with Dina may have repercussions that are still being felt today in Genoa City.
