Is Cole Leaving? J. Eddie Peck reveals what’s next for Cole on Y&R
If you were expecting sparks between Cole and Victoria, think again. Is Cole Howard leaving Young and the Restless? Ashley just caught up with Cole, and it seems like these ex-lovebirds might be rekindling their flame. And recently, the actor J Eddie Peck also revealed what’s coming up for Cole in Genoa City. So, without any further ado, let’s jump right into it.
Cole has a history with Ashley
First thing first, after all the drama with Claire (Hayley Erin) showing up as Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole’s supposed dead daughter, things have finally started to settle in. and Cole, portrayed by J Eddie Peck, finally got the time to take a look around Genoa City. It’s been a long time, like 2 whole decades, since Cole came back to town. And now that he and Victoria are trying to be good parents to Claire, he is obviously going to stick around for awhile. So, with all the time in his hand, he might meet some people from his past, plus he did have a lot of unfinished business too, especially with his ex wife, Ashley. Like obviously he was going to run into Ashley (Eileen Davidson), sooner or later, and the fans had been waiting for the time desperately. But it definitely wasn’t for long.
In the recent episode of January 9, Cole and Ashley finally saw each other. Cole was waiting for Victoria in crimson lights, and just then, Ashley walked in and was totally surprised to see Cole in town. And just then, she remembered the past when they were talking about the state of their marriage and her complaining about him getting too close to her. but she snapped out of it and went up to him.
The two hugged each other, and Cole, the smooth talker said, ”More beautiful than ever.” Then, Cole tells her he was back in town for a family thing, without getting into any detail. They also talked about their love lives. Ashley told her how her marriage didn’t end well with Tucker, and Cole also hasn’t had any luck in that department. And just when Cole starts flirting with Ashley saying, “Whatever happened between you two, I’m sure you were too good for him,” Victoria walks in and their conversation is cut short. Eventually, Ashley leaves and he starts talking to Vikki about Claire.
After seeing this, it was clear that there is still some spark left in these two and turns out, J Eddie Peck thinks so too. So, Cole Ashley and Victoria were in this love triangle, back in the day, and when Victoria and Cole couldn’t work out their relationship, they broke up and Cole fell for Ashley. They even got engaged, but troubles came storming in when Victoria found out she was pregnant with Cole’s child. He obviously wanted to be a good father, so he promised to be there for Victoria, while being with Ashley. But they eventually lost the baby, at least that’s what they thought at the time, and Cole went on to marry Ashley.

In an interview with Soaps In Depth, Peck talked about Cole’s relationship with Ashley and Victoria and said, ”He was very close to her, had a very special connection with her in a different way. He was of a different level of maturity, a different place in his life when he developed that relationship with Ashley.”
Sadly, Cole’s marriage with Ashley came to an end when she wanted to have a child with him. But Cole didn’t want that, and as their marriage ended up in divorce, he left town and went to England to work as a professor at Oxford University.
Peck says, “It wasn’t a nasty split. I really think it was more, ‘Hey you’re over here and I’m over here, and we have careers pulling us in different directions, and maybe this is the right time. So I do think there’s some unfinished business between Ashley and Cole.”
If the actor himself said it, you can expect more of Cole and Ashley in the coming days. Maybe this time, they will get a proper closure or even better, have a real chance at love with each other.
