He’s Back!
Image Credit: CBS screenshotSurprise! (Or not, if you caught the hint that Billy Flynn dropped!) Cane is back! And he’s the man behind Dumas. But what game is he playing? We imagine we’ll find out soon enough, but in the meantime, click through our gallery below to see how his return will affect half of Genoa City!
-
His Ex-Wife
Image Credit: CBS screenshotLily’s sure to be shocked that Dumas is Cane, but we don’t expect that surprise to turn into joy. After all, she seems to be moving forward with a relationship with Damian, and she did divorce Cane for sleeping with Juliet. And kissing Lauren. And Victoria. Speaking of whom…
-
His Former Business Partner
Image Credit: CBS screenshotCane and Victoria’s kiss never went anywhere, but with Cole suffering a debilitating, possibly fatal illness right now, we could see them reconnecting — and hopping into bed together!
-
His Former Fake Half Brother
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPIBilly and Cane have had one heck of a complicated relationship, from both of ’em romancing Lily to Cane pretending to be Phillip Chancellor III when he first showed up! Even if Cane is intent on getting Chancellor back into Billy’s hands, we don’t expect it to be a happy reunion. Billy, you’ll recall, was the one who told Lily about Cane and Victoria, leading to the Ashbys’ divorce!
-
His Ex-Business Partner
Image Credit: CBS screenshotDamian’s not likely to be thrilled to learn that his former boss, who he so admired, is Lily’s ex — and has likely been using him this whole time because of his connections to the Winters family! Would it be enough for Damian to try swiping Cane’s company’s away from him, though?
-
His Other Ex-Business Partner
Image Credit: CBS screenshotCane might have dropped Holden like he was hot, too, but now that he’s on the outs with Damian, the boss may find that he has new uses for him. When one knife is dulled, another gets stuck in someone’s back!
-
The Mustache
Image Credit: CBS screenshotEven before Dumas and Victor started tussling over Chancellor, Cane butted heads bigtime with Genoa City’s Black Knight over the company. And if Cane succeeds in pulling one over on the tycoon, we can see this starting a feud that would make the Victor’s fights with Jack look like schoolyard games by comparison!
-
His Former Fling
Image Credit: CBS screenshotLauren and Cane’s kiss didn’t go anywhere before — other than Lily cheating on her husband in retaliation — but that could change. Lauren and Michael’s relationship has hit a few bumps of late, and if she’s still feeling a bit off-balance, who knows how she would react to Cane’s return. He could be her next Carmine!
-
His Ex-Brother-in-Law
Image Credit: CBS screenshotBefore skipping town, Cane swiped Devon’s inheritance from him thanks to a fake will supposedly left by grandma Katherine. Cane claimed that it was all his dad’s doing and he had no idea it was forged. And, to be fair, he did seem to recover the money after leaving Genoa City. But we’ve got a feeling Devon will still be less than happy to see him! Speaking of Cane’s father…
-
Daddy Dearest
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPIThere’s no low to which Cane’s old man wouldn’t stoop. So it’s easy to imagine him making a beeline for Genoa City in order to attempt to reconcile with his son cash in on his son’s success. And it isn’t like General Hospital is using Tristan Rogers as Robert these days.
-
His Attorney
Image Credit: CBS screenshotAmanda’s back and working for Dumas — who also happens to be Cane. When she first showed up in Genoa City, she’d been tricked by Colin into swiping Devon’s inheritance. She seems to be in on Cane’s game this time, but if he’s duping her like his dad did, Amanda could decide enough’s enough and turn on him.
-
The Perpetual Wildcard
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPIRemember when Cane found out about Billy and Phyllis’ affair and made sure Victoria discovered it (and Jack, in the process)? Well, either way, we’re pretty sure Phyllis does! And we’re betting she won’t be as eager to team up with Cane as she would’ve been “Dumas.”
-
His Almost-Stepfather
Image Credit: CBS screenshotOnce upon a time, Jack nearly married Cane’s mom, Genevieve, but mostly he’s been happy to work with/use Cane in his battle for Jabot and Newman. And if Cane returns vying with Victor, we’re sure Jack will happily ally with him against his nemesis!
-
The Author
Image Credit: CBS screenshotPoor Traci’s had her heart shattered by Martin, but Cane could be just the person to set things right. Before skipping town, he and Traci grew close and even seemed to be heading towards a relationship. While we don’t know that they’d continue that, they do have a connection that could be warm and caring for both of them.
-
His Surrogate Mother
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPIEven after Cane turned out not to be Jill’s son, Phillip, the two remained close. His return to Genoa City might be enough to draw her back for a time once more. Maybe it would even put the spring back in her step as she deals with health issues.
-
His Former Rival
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPIThe last time things were rocky between Michael and Lauren, she ended up growing closer to Cane and even sharing a kiss with him. We don’t see Michael being thrilled to see Cane back in town this time around — especially if he just gave up his job with Victor for Lauren’s sake and Cane ends up sniffing around once again!
-
The Opportunist
Image Credit: CBS screenshotIf there’s one thing Audra knows, it’s how to cozy up to those with power — Tucker, Victor, Nate, Kyle. She managed to scheme her way into going along to Dumas’ big party and once Cane’s revealed to be a major power player, we can see her figuring out a way to use him, too!
-
The True Chancellor
Image Credit: CBS screenshotWe know Chance has got his own thing going with being a Genoa City cop, but he is a Chancellor, and we can’t imagine that the former exec would just keep his mouth shut if Cane returned with his own designs on Katherine’s company.
-
His Mother
Image Credit: Sean Smith/JPISo far as we know, it’s been a minute since Cane saw Genevieve. But if she wanted to reunite with her son, Young & Restless would have to recast since Genie Francis is busy as Laura on General Hospital. Maybe recast with Falcon Crest vet Kate Vernon? Recruit Knots Landing legend Donna Mills?
-
His Children
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPIYoung & Restless could add some more “young” to its lineup by having Cane and Lily’s twins come home from college for a little father/son-and-daughter bonding. That is, if they are on good terms with Pop.
-
His Illegitimate Son
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPIA little SORAS-ing could bring to Genoa City Sam, Cane’s son with the late Juliet. Hire recurring Bold & Beautiful player Christian Weissmann (Remy) for the role and let Sam serve as a constant reminder to Lily that her ex is a two-timer.
-
His Long-Lost Bestie
Image Credit: Aaron Montgomery/JPICane went so far as to pretend to be Phillip so that the real McCoy could continue to play dead rather than come out to his family. He might have something to say about his old pal’s determination to take on Genoa City’s bigwigs — something like, “Bro, don’t.”

The Big Reveal
