Tashland is the name given to the relationship between Ashland Locke and Tara Locke.
Tara worked at an antique store where she would meet and eventually marry the older Ashland Locke. Tara became a shoe designer, whose brand was particularly popular in Paris. By late 2010s, Tara and Ashland were (seemingly) no longer having sex because he was also busy and inattentive, and she didn't just care about his money. When Kyle Abbott was in New York, he and Tara started having an affair that ended when he left New York. Tara became pregnant as a result, and managed to somehow pass the baby off as Ashland's. Tara conducted a DNA test in secret and found out that her child was Kyle's, but allowed Ashland to think he was the father. They named the baby Harrison. Tara calls Kyle to inform him that she and Ashland are coming to Genoa City on business, and that he better not say anything about being Harrison's father. The truth finally comes out that Ashland is not Harrison's father and he and Tara get a divorce and he moves on to Victoria Newman. While Tara is happy with no longer being married to Ashland, she struggles to get Kyle to be committed to her.
The pair now are separated for good with Ashland dying and Tara being sent to prison for fraud.
