The Young & The Restless: What Are Cane Ashby’s Plans After Aristotle Dumas Reveal?
During a conversation with Soaps, the writer who is also an executive producer on the daytime drama, shared what Cane’s plans could be. “He has a huge game plan. The question that everyone will be asking is, is this to win something back, or is this pure revenge? Always,” Josh mused.
The reveal came after key players of Genoa City were invited to France to finally meet Dumas. Cane’s entry will affect more than just one character. He will have a business rivalry with Victor Newman. Cane will continue working with Amanda Sinclair, currently his adept legal representative.

“All of our major players will find themselves caught in his web for most of the summer,” the head writer shared. But most importantly, Lily Winters will be involved in this storyline. After all, she is the love of Cane’s life and his former wife. The two also share two children together who are grown now.

Then there’s Billy, who might want to ally with Cane to get his hands on what he wants. As for Phyllis, she wants to convince Cane to invest in her company and help her start afresh. Nikki is worried that Cane might have his eye on Chancellor, the company she currently runs thanks to Victor.
“He meets a very worthy adversary,” Josh says about what to expect from the Cane versus Victor rivalry, which has been brewing for a while and may lead to some serious drama. But the head writer pointed out, “I don’t think Victor ever will lose. He will always win,” referring to the Newman patriarch.

“He may face challenges, he may seem to stumble, but the great thing about Victor is that he always then reveals that he’s been five steps ahead the whole time,” Josh concluded about what is set to happen in the future. With Lily kissing Damian to keep Cane away, it might get heated there too.
