This past week on The Young & The Restless, Victoria
Newman Locke (Ameila Heinle) realized that her husband, Ashland Locke had been
lying to her about his cancer diagnosis thanks to the help of her family. Nikki, Victor, Nick, and Adam held an
intervention for Victoria; they wanted her to finally see that Ashland had been
lying and is only after the family company.
Victoria didn’t want to believe them because that would mean that
Ashland was never in love with her.
Heinle did a phenomenal job of showing someone who desperately doesn’t
want to face the truth about their partner’s lies. Victoria is typically composed so getting to
see Heinle show ranges of emotion this week was a treat for fans! Heinle’s tone in her voice showed how badly
Victoria didn’t want to face reality.
Fans could sense that Victoria felt like her back was against the wall
and was forced to see what was in front of her.
When Victoria tries to leave, Adam makes one final attempt to reach
through to her. Victoria doesn’t think
Adam has her best interest at heart, so when he attempts to bond and empathize
with her by mentioning he knows what she might be going through based on what
he experienced with Chelsea; Heinle’s facial expressions alone showed that
Victoria started to believe her family about Ashland. Her face softened and her sad eyes showed how
Victoria’s heart was starting to break.
Heinle showed just how shattered Victoria felt when Ashland decided to
walk away when she confronted him as Victoria embraced her mother afterward in
tears. Heinle shows that although
Victoria is a strong, independent, powerful businesswoman, she wants what
everyone else wants: love. Victoria
thought she finally had that in Ashland and the realization that their relationship
was based off of lies is devastating.
Victoria catches Billy (Jason Thompson) up to speed and Heinle shows how
hard Victoria is struggling to keep her composure. It’s understandable that Victoria doesn’t
want to be kicked while she’s down and she doesn’t want Billy to rub it in her
face that he was right about Ashland. Heinle
& Thompson share touching scenes where Billy is hurt to see Victoria
hurting and that all he wants is for her to be happy. He reminds her that she can trust him. They are concerned what Ashland is capable of
if he wants Victoria out of the picture.
Ashland runs into them which was a great cliffhanger. Fans can’t wait to see what happens next!
