GLASS HOUSE ALERT! Y&R’s Ashley Abbott Has Doubts About Sally Spectra, and Genoa City Has Questions

ASHLEY ABBOTT DOUBTS SALLY’S PAST, BUT HER OWN IS LONGER

TL;DR: Young and the Restless fans watched the Abbotts roll out the welcome mat for Sally and Coco at the rehearsal dinner. Once the night wound down, Ashley Abbott admitted she has reservations about the bride’s messy past. Seven marriages, a stolen-sperm baby and a few alter egos later, Ashley is the last woman in Genoa City who should be counting anyone else’s suitcases. The Y&R spoilers have the wedding underway, so somebody hand Ashley a mirror.

Ashley Waited Until the Door Closed

Ashley Abbott smiled her way through the rehearsal dinner. Jack Abbott promised Sally Spectra and Coco Spectra that the Abbott family would always greet them with respect and love. Ashley nodded right along.

Then the guests started filing out, and the truth came out. When Jack wondered whether her welcome was sincere, Ashley admitted she has reservations about the bride’s messy past. She also isn’t convinced that Billy Abbott, or any of them, can handle another loss.

Fine. Protecting her little brother is fair. Billy has been through plenty, and nobody wants to see him crushed again.

But “messy past”? Coming from Ashley? Somebody check the foundation of that mansion, because it’s made of glass. Sally is about to become an Abbott, and the most complicated Abbott of all is already sitting at the dinner table.

Seven Marriages, Six Husbands, One Very Long List

Let’s count, since Ashley wants to talk about baggage. She has walked down the aisle seven times with six different men. She married Victor Newman twice, and he went back to Nikki Newman both times. Her first husband was murdered shortly after the wedding. Another died in a car accident with a train.

She married Tucker McCall in secret and then again in public, and he cheated anyway. Ashley Abbott has more ex-husbands than Sally has wedding dresses, and Sally works in fashion. Every one of those men came with drama, and Ashley jumped right in each time.

The Baby Daddy Drama Alone Is a Miniseries

Then there’s Abby Newman. Ashley stole Victor’s sperm, got pregnant, and let Brad Carlton believe the baby was his. She married Brad in her hospital room right after giving birth. That’s not a complicated past. That’s a lawsuit.

Ashley also manipulated Jack into believing he wasn’t John Abbott’s son, when she was the one with a different father all along. Is this really the woman who gets to side-eye Sally’s history with Adam Newman and Nick Newman? Next to Ashley’s box set, Sally’s dating history is a rerun.

And Let’s Not Forget the Personalities

Most recently, Ashley spent a stretch of time living with alter egos running around in her head. Genoa City watched her bounce between personalities while her family tried to keep up. Ashley Abbott spent months not knowing which version of herself would wake up in the morning. Fans even gave the new Ashley a fresh nickname.

Sally has made her share of messes. She has also owned them, worked her way back, and built a real life with Billy. She’s expecting, planning their wedding, and showing up for his family, which is more than Ashley managed during half of her marriages. Ashley doesn’t have to love her new sister-in-law. She does have to admit she’s the last person who should be checking anyone’s bags.

Is Ashley protecting Billy or being a hypocrite? Drop your take in the comments!

Somebody Hide the Stones

Ashley can keep her reservations. She can whisper them to Jack in the living room after the guests go home. Jack, of all people, knows exactly how long her list is. But the minute she judges Sally out loud, everyone in Genoa City is going to start listing husbands. Ashley Abbott should smile, toast the bride and keep her rocks in her purse.
