Character Information

A casual friend of Lizzie Spaulding, Ashlee got pulled into the story when Jonathan Randall thought that her gossipy nature would be useful to him. She realized immediately that his flirtation with her was an attempt to get information on Lizzie and others and used this to her advantage. In exchange for information, she exploited Jonathan as her date on numerous occasions, including her prom. He stole her keys to the OB-GYN clinic where she worked so that he could check on the paternity of Lizzie's baby. While Jonathan tried to pry information from Ashlee, Lizzie soon realized what he was after and tried to have her files destroyed.

No longer having a use for Ashlee, Jonathan tried to push her out of his life but she kept coming back until he became threatening and her mother launched a court case against him. When this was dropped, they began working together to protect Lizzie from Alan and Ashlee's mother panicked again. Subsequently, a lonely Ashlee, in the service of Blake Marler, became one of her crucial sources for information on Springfield Burns. While charges for her involvement were never laid, she managed to turn her talent for digging dirt into a job with Dinah Marler on her new TV show.

Ashlee's mother eventually married Alan Spaulding. When she and her mother moved into the mansion, Ashlee was surprised to find that they were getting the cold shoulder from their new family. She excitedly helped her mother plan the wedding and sang a song at the ceremony. Things went wrong quickly though and, realizing that Alan didn't want her and her mother, she snatched a gun and used it on him when he confessed the truth to her. While he lay in a coma, she watched as Josh Lewis was taken off to prison and the family fought over what would happen when Alan died. In view of Ashlee's attempted murder of Alan, Lizzie resented Ashlee and sabotaged her birthday. However, this gave Ashlee the opportunity to become closer to Coop Bradshaw. When Alan came out of his coma, he confronted Ashlee about the shooting, but told no one else. After Doris managed to stop a panicky Ashlee from confessing to Frank Cooper, her daughter told her everything.

In April 2008, Ashlee received gastric lap band surgery. She subsequently became addicted to exercise.
