Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, The Young and the Restless began broadcasting special throwback episodes until it was safe for the cast and crew to return to work. As a treat to viewers, CBS aired special theme weeks devoted to iconic characters. This week focused on some of the show's most memorable romances -- some that have lasted for decades and others that lasted only a short time. A complete list of episodes that aired during this week can be found here.

This episode originally aired July 18, 1986. In the episode, it was a romance triple play: Victor romanced Ashley, Nikki was wined and dined by Matt (portrayed by Robert Parucha), and John Abbott was charmed by Joanna Manning (played by Days of our Lives star Susan Seaforth Hayes).

Victor and Ashley lifted their glasses of champagne, and Ashley proposed a toast to the unexpected, explaining that she'd never expected to fall in love with him and would've never known how much it would change her life. Victor presented Ashley with a large gift-wrapped box tied with a glittery bow. Ashley lifted the lid and was surprised to find a scale model of a yacht enclosed in a clear case. Victor explained that it was a model of the yacht he'd purchased, which, he added, he'd named Forever Ashley. Victor went on to describe the yacht's luxury amenities, including a sizable staff and a four-star chef.
