The Young and the Restless: What does Amelia Heinle (Victoria) think of the new actress playing Ashland?

As has not escaped viewers of The Young and the Restless, Ashland Locke’s character has replaced the cast in the episodes currently on offer on TF1 (Monday to Friday at 11am). Indeed, during the American broadcast in 2022, Richard Burge was fired from the series!

Robert Newman becomes Ashland Locke

the reason The actor caught Covid-19 while on Christmas vacation and waited five days before returning to work, as recommended by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States). In order not to contaminate anyone, he also conducted tests with negative results.

Except that he was allowed to return only after ten days of isolation on the set of “The Young and the Restless”! Thus, Richard Burgey, who did not know about the duration of this protocol, did not try the provisions and was therefore immediately released…

Forced to immediately make up for this absence, The Young and the Restless producers immediately hired a replacement: Robert Newman. Of course, the American public, accustomed to the performance of its predecessor, was initially upset by this radical change…

“He has a different style of play…”

But what did Amelia Heinle, who plays Victoria (Ashland’s dear and loving wife), think of this express hire and her new privileged partner? At the AlloCiné microphone, the actor confides in Robert Newman’s theme:

“He is excellent. He obviously has a different playing style than Richard Burge, but I think he took the role perfectly, so last minute, right in the middle! It’s still really hard“- confirms the star, who also revealed to us whether William was Victoria’s real great love.

“Robert had been in soap operas for years, so he jumped into things quickly.Amelia Heinle recalls. He deserved his nomination because I saw how hard he works and does everything. He is all!

He was only there for a short time, but it was nice to have him here. I am also saddened by his death…”

Because yes, you read that right, Ashland (and Robert Newman, respectively!) are not going to stay in Genoa City forever! How is he going to go? The sequel will be in The Young and the Restless…
