1990 (#16) - Ashley's indecision, Victor's torment, and sudden wedding

At Brad's marriage proposal, Ashley, impressed and surprised, asks for time to think, promising that the answer will be there in a few days. In the meantime, Jack and John are concerned about how Traci might react to a possible and imminent marriage between their sister and Brad. They ask Traci to stay out of the matter despite the fact that Traci seems more convinced than ever that he will fulfill his dream of love with Ashley. When Ashley tells Brad that she wants to accept his proposal, Traci's anger is unleashed on her sister, who is accused of being a traitor. Traci also promises that she would fight tooth and nail until the end for her man, which shocks Ashley, who is also blamed by John for being unfair to his sister. At this point, Ashley is confused: she loves Brad, but she also loves her sister Traci, with whom she doesn't want to become a stranger or even an enemy. All of this leads Ashley to experience a harsh internal conflict of guilt and turmoil. Meanwhile, from Switzerland, a shocked Victor learns of Brad and Ashley's upcoming wedding, which devastates him and convinces him to return to Genoa City immediately. Surprised himself by this reaction, being convinced that he only has Nikki in his head, Victor finds himself reflecting in the sauna, just while, for the same reasons, Ashley is there. The two are shocked to find themselves in the same place at the same time. And suddenly, their lives will change forever. Passion, deep feelings, and their dreams suddenly re-emerge from the past as if they had never faded; there is the exact same understanding between the two of them as there was a few years earlier, and the exact same passion. Convinced that their meeting is a sign of destiny, the two, caught by a sudden wave of love, decide to run to the Justice of the Peace and get married immediately. Choice, this one, which will obviously have great repercussions and consequences among the people next to them.
