I didn't think it was very wise of Ashley to attack Nikki about Victoria
but I also don't think that all ties between Ashley and Victoria "should
have been severed" just because Ashley and Victor aren't together anymore.

I hope this isn't taken as a flame because it's not meant to be.  Too often
divorce is a bitter thing and the children are always the ones to suffer.
Ashley and Victoria were able to communicate and I think it would be a good
thing for Victoria to have someone as a friend instead of a parent to talk 
to.  I knew that Victoria would go to someone else for the money and I was
surprised it was Kaye and not Ashley.  Unfortunately what I see ahead is 
Victor blowing his stack at Kaye and upsetting yet *another* woman on this
show.  But maybe if he blows up at Kaye the way he has with Ashley and Nikki,
she might suggest he get some help.  Yikes!  I can just picture the GREAT 
Victor Newman sitting in a counsellor's office telling the counsellor not 
to s**** with him.

Anyways, back to the topic.  I know IOAS but I wish sometimes they would 
portray a little more reality.  Ashley was a good friend to Victoria after
Ryan forced himself on her the first time and it would have been nice for 
Victoria to have gone to Ashley.  Maybe Ash could have made her realize 
what might be in store for her in the future if she sticks with Ryan.  At 
the very least, Ash could have warned her how unstable Victor seems to be.
I really think the writers are setting Victor up for a big fall (heart attack,
another seizure, or something).

And I'm curious - I'm not sure whether I want to see Victoria and Ryan be
together (i.e. does he really love her that much) or if I want Nina and Ryan
to be together.  What does everyone else think?  Let's do a survey!
