Apparently, the GCAC is closed. We learned this week that Ashland Locke managed to persuade Phyllis to let him stay at the Grand Phoenix.
It was previously thought (here) that the Genoa City Athletic Club was still open as both Ashland Locke & Sally Spectra had been asked to leave the Grand Phoenix premises on separate occasions.
Since there has been no mention of Abby’s hotel being completed, let alone opening — it made sense that both Ashland & Sally would take up temporary residency at the GCAC.
This week’s Weekly #WTF on Y&R…
Locke(d) Into the Grand Phoenix, Y&R’s GCAC is Closed
Either the GCAC is closed, or Phyllis is a push-over. Phyllis is a push-over… Not-so-much.
Regardless, perfect timing along with the end of social distancing on Young & the Restless. Especially now with Ashland Locke & Victoria Newman dating, or whatever they are doing.
Now, Ashland & Victoria have a place to privately enjoy glasses of red wine meanwhile talking business, Paris, & 6 months to live… & maybe more.
In New York, Ashland asked Victoria if he could kiss her. Victoria put on the brakes in NY but then asked Ashland to kiss once back in GC.
This week left off with Ashland & Victoria enjoying more red wine in Ashland’s hotel room at the Grand Phoenix.
It’s apparent kisses (& maybe more) are to come… After all, Ashland (supposedly) just has 6 months to live.
Ashland Has Cancer & 6 Months to Live (Supposedly)
Ashland’s trip to New York was actually motivated by a health concern, not so much his pending divorce from Tara Locke.
Perhaps that is another reason he invited Victoria to join him… For emotional support. We learn Ashland’s doctor found something off in one of his scans taken after enduring a heart attack at the Newman Ranch.
Ashland has cancer without many treatment options & has been given 6 months to live.
While there is plenty of buzz going on throughout Genoa City that Victoria joined Ashland on his impromptu trip to New York, there isn’t so much on Ashland’s cancer diagnosis. Ashland has asked Victoria to keep this information to herself.
Both Victor & Nikki Newman smell something funny with Ashland & Victoria suddenly not only spending time together but also joining one another on a trip to New York. What better way to get to the bottom of things?…
A double date.
Yes, Ashland & Victoria agreed to meet Victor & Nikki for a date when Ashland & Victoria were interrogated by Victor & Nikki.
Sally Spectra, Still a Guest at the Grand Phoenix
It’s also apparent that Sally Spectra is still a guest at the Grand Phoenix. She’s loitering here frequently & conveniently around to hassle Summer.
It’s not loitering if one is a guest.
The GCAC is Actually Closed & What Happens Next on Y&R…
With the GCAC actually closed & Ashland a confirmed guest at the Grand Phoenix, he & Victoria have a safe space to enjoy more red wine, but in private. Perhaps more on-screen intimacy is in store between this new Y&R power couple.
Elena Saves Nate’s Life on Young & the Restless
Nate is still living at the Grand Phoenix & might be another guy getting down with a lady friend in his room. Elena has been mulling over taking a job offer in Baltimore, & has asked Nate for advice without receiving any… Until now.
Elena saves Nate’s life this week. Nate thanks her by leveling with her stating he not only wants her to stay in town & not take the job offer in Baltimore, but he wants to start fresh with her relationship-wise.
Tara Locke, The Robot & Summer Newman on Y&R
It seems Tara Locke isn’t just a robot, she’s also a bitch. Ask Summer Newman.
With the help of Sally Spectra who got help from Eric Forrester, Summer has been offered a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity in Italy. Tara is mandating that Summer take the job & relocate without Kyle. If Summer does not take the job & relocate, Tara claims she will cut insta-dad Kyle out of Harrison’s life forever & ever.
It seems Kyle & Summer’s wedding will be paused once again.
