Ashley Phillips (Cataclysmic Gerosha)

Ashley Phillips is a fictional character in the Ferris Access Channel and DozerfleetTV original miniseries Blood Over Water. She was portrayed by actress Angelica McClary.

Development
Ashely entered the story briefly, as a sidekick for Chris when the two of them were sent to murder Mark. It made more sense to the production team that Chris lure Mark into a trap using a distraction, someone whom Mark would not know very well. It was also a chance for Angelica to have a very brief acting cameo. To lure Mark into the death trap, Ashley has to pretend to be lost and wanting directions to someone's apartment. Originally, the character was to be named "Sheila Shones," but Angelica protested that name. She is identified by first-name only in the end credits of the first Dozerfleet Recut; and is never once mentioned by name in her brief cameo in Part 5. She is identified in the end credits of the approved-for-cable version with her Phillips surname restored.

Personality
Ashley is depicted to be very passive, and effective at faking a charming persona. Little else is known about her; save for the fact that she shows very little emotion when Mark is killed.

Series history
Having the shortest role of anyone involved, Ashley was a newcomer at Sleet Mountain who got pulled into the CEO's corrupt plan. Seduced by greed, she became one of Chris' lackeys and aided him in plotting Mark's assassination. Shortly thereafter, she was never seen or heard from ever again.
