Thomas "TJ" Ashford, Jr. is a fictional character from the long running ABC daytime soap opera, General Hospital.

The role was originated in 2012 by Krys Meyer when TJ was introduced as the troubled teenage son of Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore)'s deceased best friend, Tommy, whom Shawn had killed in combat.

The two start dating in secret and Molly's mother Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) initially disapproves of the romance but she and Shawn eventually let the teens continue to see each other. In 2013, the couple splits because of TJ's jealousy over Molly's friendship with Rafe Kovich (Jimmy Deshler).

In 2014, TJ's estranged mother Jordan (Vinessa Antoine) arrives and TJ starts college in the fall.

Borough of Ashford

The Borough of Ashford is a local government district with borough status in Kent, England. It borders five other Kent districts as well as East Sussex to the South West. Ashford Borough council's main offices are in the town of Ashford. The borough was formed on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the then Borough of Tenterden with Ashford urban district, as well as the Rural Districts of East Ashford, West Ashford and Tenterden. Covering 58,000 Hectares, it is the largest district by area in Kent.

The Borough is divided into 39 civil parishes centred on the villages as well as the historic Town of Tenterden.

From the 1960s onwards, Ashford has experienced phases of rapid urban growth creating new suburbs such as Stanhope and, more recently, Singleton. Today's urban growth is partially shaped by the de facto corridors created by the M20 motorway, the High Speed 1 line and several other rail lines which converge on the town's railway station and this has contributed to particular development pressure on, and the development of, greenfield sites in and adjacent to the town especially, but not exclusively, to the South and West for example at Sevington.

Ashford is a town and suburb of London located almost entirely in the Surrey borough of Spelthorne, but with a small section lying within the London Borough of Hounslow, England. Mostly residential, Ashford is 13.5 miles (21.7 km) WSW of Charing Cross, London, forms part of the London commuter belt, with a minor stop on the Waterloo to Reading Line (which has two branch lines) and has a long commercial high street. It is centred 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of London Heathrow Airport, to which a portion of its economy relates, including business premises relating to aviation and the distribution of air freight – the main cargo depot being next to an adjoining village, Stanwell.

More usually referred to as Ashford, Middlesex to distinguish it from the larger town of Ashford, Kent, since 1965 when Middlesex County Council was dissolved the town's wards are officially in Ashford, Surrey and for example the current railway services provider uses the present or past county variously throughout its stations and trains. A leading gymnastics club, HMP Bronzefield and one of the sites of Brooklands College are in the town. Ashford Hospital is narrowly within Stanwell and began as Ashford's workhouse. Ashford Common has a parade of shops and is a more residential ward that includes part of the Queen Mary Reservoir and all of its related water treatment works, which is contiguous with and subsidiary to the town itself.
