  • Robert Newman as Ashland Locke

    From Zob@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 9 20:11:51 2022
    I'm in awe of how Robert NewmanTook over the role - and took on the
    persona - of Ashland Locke. I expected to still think of him as GL's
    Josh Lewis when I heard he was taking over the A.L. role.
    But what an actor. He's adopted the nuances of speech patterns, the
    voice, the way he carries himself, and he instantly became Ashland
    Locke. He must have studied and meticulously practiced Ashland's
    nuances. What I had thought would be an odd role change turned out to
    be one of the best changes in soap actors I've ever seen. Kudos to
    R.N. -- and to Y&R making a great casting choice.

    You took the words right out of my mouth. Robert Newman is doing a great job. It was a flawless transition.
