Is Ashley Leaving 'The Young and the Restless'?originally appeared onParade. Ashley (Eileen Davidson) just returned toThe Young and the Restless,but she's ready to leave again. The most recent episode featured Ashley telling Jack (Peter Bergman)she needed to work on herself in Paris following the whole Martin/Alan (Christopher Cousins) saga. Jack and fans were taken aback by the news. After all, Ashley was only back from New York with Traci (Beth Maitland) for a hot second before she dropped her bombshell on her brother. Ashley will head back to Paris after Nikki's (Melody Thomas Scott)birthday party. The character has been off and on the canvas for years. Last summer, Ashley was given the first major storyline she had had in years with her dissociative identity disorder. Since then, Ashley has predominantly remained off-screen onThe Young and the Restless. She has popped up for brief visits for special occasions like Abby's (Melissa Ordway)wedding to Devon (Bryton James). That trend will continue when Ashley once again bids Genao City adieu for Paris.

Davidson is recurring, so she comes and goes when the writers need her to and when her schedule allows. Although Y&R fans miss having Ashley around, other than her DID storyline, Ashley hasn't been at the forefront for a long time. Therefore, the arrangement between Davidson and the show makes sense.
