Oh No!! Not Again!! Is Ashley Losing Her Mind??

This week, Ashley begins to worry that she’s losing her mind when strange things start happening.

“At first, Ashley knows something is awry,” sets up Eileen Davidson. “But as things keep happening, she slowly starts to wonder, ‘Maybe it’s me.’”

It all starts when Ashley’s outside on the Newman grounds. “Ashley hears an infant crying,” recounts Davidson. “She runs around like crazy trying to find the source of it. Then she starts screaming for Victor.”

Victor runs to Ashley’s side, “but he doesn’t hear anything,” says Davidson. “The crying stops. Ashley insists she definitely heard a baby and that they have to find this abandoned child. Security goes out and searches, but there’s nothing.”

Ashley, who has dealt with mental health issues in the past, insists that she wasn’t just imagining the baby’s cries. “She feels defensive, because that’s always been an issue and she’s sensitive to it,” admits Davidson.

Victor and Olivia discuss the possibility of Ashley losing the baby and what would happen to her mental state if she miscarried. “Ashley absolutely promises both of them that if anything feels off at all, she’s tell them immediately,” notes Davidson.

Later, Ashley goes for another stroll outside and finds a statue that Victor had commissioned of Sabrina holding a baby. “It’s completely unnerving and a very strange thing to find on the middle of the grounds,” points out Davidson. “But when Victor asks Ashley if it disturbs her, she says, ‘No.’ Ashley’s super-sensitive about seeming like she’s okay. She doesn’t want to appear she’s having a problem even when she is having a problem. She’s afraid it’s going to be misconstrued.”

Ashley goes upstairs to get ready for her birthday evening with Victor and finds a dress, earrings and shoes laid out for her. “Ashley thinks Victor is just being sweet. She puts everything on and goes downstairs, but Victor freaks when he sees her. Ashley doesn’t understand why. Victor asks her to please leave, so she goes upstairs. Later, she comes down and asks Estella and Adam what was up with the dress. What was wrong? She finds out she was wearing the same outfit Sabrina died in.”

Victor suspects that Nikki set up Ashley and immediately confronts her about it. Meanwhile, Ashley heads back to her bedroom and makes an incredible discovery. “She finds a receipt saying she purchased all those things,” gasps Davidson. “But she knows she didn’t and figures it has to have been Estella. Of course, Ashley doesn’t have any proof and so many things are happening. It’s getting super creepy, and Ashley’s getting a little panicky. She’s starting to doubt her own sanity.”

Perhaps Ashley should widen her list of suspects?
