  1. Don't ask me why or how, but I want him to be Ashley's long lost child. I know it's silly, but in her scene last week with Ben outside the soldiers room I thought to myself, how come Ashly has never had a child she forgot that she gave birth to?

  2. Villanueva looks enough like Carlos Bernard (Rafael Delgado) to be Ashley's nephew.
