The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Ashland Locke’s (Robert Newman) Y&R exit will be revealed, so how will Robert Newman be written out? Many viewers are curious what the future holds, so let’s talk about some insider buzz and determine what’s next.
Although there’s no confirmation on Ashland’s fate just yet, the latest inside scoop is that Robert Newman won’t be around long-term.
Newman is a fantastic actor who has put his own spin on the role, but the show is still building toward Ashland’s exit based on everything we’re hearing.
That makes perfect sense based on the latest twist in Y&R spoilers.
Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) has a secret agenda and intends to get Ashland to pony up $250 million for the venture they’re starting.
That just so happens to be the exact amount Ashland has left following his deal with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) – minus the $250 million he already gave to Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) for New Hope.
The goal appears to be duping Ashland into providing money for a venture that he won’t be part of.
Victoria will start Destiny Media with Ashland, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be included in her destiny at all!
With that in mind, the show will have a couple of options.
It’s possible Ashland won’t know when to quit, so he could stick around to harass Victoria and try to make her forgive him. In that case, they could still get a murder mystery out of all this.
Back when Ashland hatred was at an all-time high in Genoa City, it seemed like everyone was vowing to eliminate him forever.
Even Ashland himself declared that nothing short of murder would get rid of him.
It’d be easy to lean back into that angle and continue building to a deadly departure for Ashland. There’d be no shortage of suspects, so they could do a whodunit and milk some real drama out of Ashland’s exit.
However, it’s perhaps more likely that Ashland will just end up heartbroken and humiliated.
Ashland may find himself dead inside instead and just scamper away in shame. That might open the door for Ashland to return somewhere down the road.
For now, the character of Ashland seems to have run his course, so we’ll offer updates as other news comes in on his looming exit strategy.
The Young and the Restless spoilers hint that Ashland won’t be around for another long-term story, so it sounds like fans should prepare for Ashland’s departure!

Is Ashland Locke leaving The Young and the Restless – is Robert Newman nearly done on the CBS soap? It looks like this plotline with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) might be his last, according to a leaker at CBS daytime.
Is Ashland Locke Leaving The Young and the Restless? LEAK Says Yes
Ever since it came out that Ashland lied about having cancer, it felt like his days were numbered. You may recall that Ash was supposed to be just a short-term character when they cast Richard Burgi in the role.
But, then Y&R writers expanded his presence. It sure looked like the cancer was a real plot to start with. Why else would Ashland Locke have had attacks when he was all alone with no one watching?
Then, Young and the Restless decided to keep him around and make the disease a lie – and swapped actors. But the big fib ruined the character. Now, with Ash enjoying his “fresh start” with Victoria, it looks like she’s now running a con on him.
She wants to get the money back that her father gave Ashland – and then she wants to stomp his heart into oblivion. A Y&R leaker says that this scheme of Vikki’s may be the last arc for Robert Newman as Ash.
Robert Newman out at Y&R or is Redemption Possible?
Of course, the writers can try and redeem anyone on a soap opera. But fibbing about cancer and faking chemo and all that is next-level villainy. Especially with cancer survivors living in Genoa City and annoyed at him.
Will Young and the Restless try and write a redemption story for Robert Newman’s character? Will they try and keep Ashland Locke around or will they let Victoria defeat him and then send him away?
Signs don’t look good for Ash now that it’s evident that his wife’s running a con on him. Clearly, she wants to walk away from him on her terms. And she wasn’t going to let him scurry away with a half-billion of Newman money…
So, is the leaker right? Is this revenge plan of Vikki’s the swan song for Ashland? It could be. It sure looked before like he’d leave, but it wouldn’t be poetic justice if he left with a mountain of cash and no consequences, right?
Ashland Destined for Heartbreak and Thin Wallet on Young and the Restless?
In Young and the Restless spoilers, the family worries about Ashland still being around Vikki. But she’s got this well in hand. In fact, she just needs them to stay out of her way while she deals with Ash.
Longtime Y&R viewers know how petty she can be. So, she probably won’t be happy until Ashland doesn’t have a dime in the bank or a scrap of love left in his heart. She wants to ruin his life and break him. Will she do it?
Or will Ms. Newman crumble and keep him around? Right now, it feels like her rage keeps her going. But is there love left in her heart for him? So far, she’s not let Ash back in her bed, so that’s a sure sign things aren’t as they seem.
