A chilling revelation rocks Genoa City as Ashley Abbott makes a dramatic return—one that could change everything for the Abbott family. After years away, Ashley flies in on the same plane as the elusive Dr. Martin Kesler, a man with a terrifying agenda. As she reunites with Jack, Kyle, and Tracy, it’s clear something sinister is unfolding, and Ashley wastes no time diving into the mystery that’s been haunting them all.
With the family gathered, Ashley reveals she’s been tracking Martin for months. The truth she unearths is horrifying: Martin has been using hypnosis to kidnap and manipulate vulnerable victims—Sharon, Phyllis, and now Alan. Her investigation leads her to an abandoned hospital on the outskirts of Genoa City, a place once used for clandestine experiments and dark secrets. Ashley believes Martin is holding Alan there, using the same twisted techniques to keep him docile and forgotten.
