Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers indicate that actor Christopher Cousins has been cast in a new role on the show, playing Ashley Abbott’s (Eileen Davidson) psychiatrist friend from Paris, Alan Laurent. He’s set to join the cast on Tuesday, April 30. Could he become Ashley’s new love interest?

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Ashley Abbott’s Relationship With Alan Laurent

Y&R spoilers remind fans that Ashley has mentioned her “friend from Paris” before during conversations with Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland).

In fact, she visited Alan after she figured out the “truth” of what happened between her and Tucker McCall (Trevor St. John) on their honeymoon while the sisters were in Paris.

What exactly is the nature of her relationship with Laurent? Are they simply friends, or is there more to this? Did they ever hook up? If they didn’t, did Alan have feelings for Ashley that were not explored because of her marriage/romance with Tucker?

Y&R Spoilers – Ashley Abbott’s New Chapter

Y&R spoilers hint that Ashely will hit some bumps on her road to recovery. Added teasers for the week of April 22-26 reveal that a new personality will emerge, a sultry one with a southern accent.

Still, she’ll likely treat her dissociative identity disorder (DID), and be ready for a new chapter in her life. It’ll take time, but she’ll get there.

Tucker has moved on with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), so a reunion between the two seems unlikely at this point, but could Alan be a part of this fresh beginning for Ashley?

Depending on what comes out during therapy, Ashley’s DID could have been triggered by an unknown trauma. Ms. Abbott will need all the love and support she can get from family and friends. Will Alan become a part of that support system?

There has to be a good reason why he’s suddenly showing up in Genoa City. He may be just as concerned as the Abbott family when it comes to Ashley’s erratic behavior, and arrive on the scene to do all he can to help his friend. Once she gets better, could the two engage in a romance?
