hint that Billy Flynn dropped<\/a>!) Cane is back! And he\u2019s the man behind Dumas. But what game is he playing? We imagine we\u2019ll find out soon enough, but in the meantime, click through our gallery below to see how his return will affect half of Genoa City!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\tHis Ex-Wife<\/p>\n

Lily\u2019s sure to be shocked that Dumas is Cane, but we don\u2019t expect that surprise to turn into joy. After all, she seems to be moving forward with a relationship with Damian, and she did\u00a0divorce Cane for sleeping with Juliet. And kissing Lauren. And Victoria. Speaking of whom\u2026<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Former Business Partner<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Cane and Victoria\u2019s kiss never went anywhere, but with Cole suffering a debilitating, possibly fatal illness right now, we could see them reconnecting \u2014 and hopping into bed together!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Former Fake Half Brother<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Billy](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Billy-YR-HW_0446cb.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Howard Wise\/JPI\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Billy and Cane have had one heck of a complicated relationship, from both of \u2019em 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\u2019s hands, we don\u2019t expect it to be a happy reunion. Billy, you\u2019ll recall, was the one who told Lily about Cane and Victoria, leading to the Ashbys\u2019 divorce!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Ex-Business Partner<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Lily](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Lily-Damian-2-YR-CBS_da11b5.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s not likely to be thrilled to learn that his former boss, who he so admired, is Lily\u2019s ex \u2014 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\u2019s company\u2019s away from him, though?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Other Ex-Business Partner<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Holden](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Holden-YR-CBS.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Cane might have dropped Holden like he was hot, too, but now that he\u2019s 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\u2019s back!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tThe Mustache<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Even before Dumas and Victor started tussling over Chancellor, Cane butted heads bigtime with Genoa City\u2019s 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\u2019s fights with Jack look like schoolyard games by comparison!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Former Fling<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Michael](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Michael-Lauren-YR-CBS_7f98dd.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Lauren and Cane\u2019s kiss didn\u2019t go anywhere before \u2014 other than Lily cheating on her husband in retaliation \u2014 but that could change. Lauren and Michael\u2019s relationship has hit a few bumps of late, and if she\u2019s still feeling a bit off-balance, who knows how she would react to Cane\u2019s return. He could be her next Carmine!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Ex-Brother-in-Law<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Before skipping town, Cane swiped Devon\u2019s inheritance from him thanks to a fake will supposedly left by grandma Katherine. Cane claimed that it was all his dad\u2019s 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\u2019ve got a feeling Devon will still be less than happy to see him! Speaking of Cane\u2019s father\u2026<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tDaddy Dearest<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Jill Johnson\/JPI\t\t\t<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no low to which Cane\u2019s old man wouldn\u2019t stoop. So it\u2019s easy to imagine him making a beeline for Genoa City in order to attempt to reconcile with his son cash in on his son\u2019s success. And it isn\u2019t like General Hospital is using Tristan Rogers as Robert these days.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Attorney<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Amanda](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Amanda-YR-CS.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Amanda\u2019s back and working for Dumas \u2014 who also happens to be Cane. When she first showed up in Genoa City, she\u2019d been tricked by Colin into swiping Devon\u2019s inheritance. She seems to be in on Cane\u2019s game this time, but if he\u2019s duping her like his dad did, Amanda could decide enough\u2019s enough and turn on him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tThe Perpetual Wildcard<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Howard Wise\/JPI\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Remember when Cane found out about Billy and Phyllis\u2019 affair and made sure Victoria discovered it (and Jack, in the process)? Well, either way, we\u2019re pretty sure Phyllis does! And we\u2019re betting she won\u2019t be as eager to team up with Cane as she would\u2019ve been \u201cDumas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Almost-Stepfather<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Jack](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jack-YR-CBS.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Once upon a time, Jack nearly married Cane\u2019s mom, Genevieve, but mostly he\u2019s been happy to work with\/use Cane in his battle for Jabot and Newman. And if Cane returns vying with Victor, we\u2019re sure Jack will happily ally with him against his nemesis!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tThe Author<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Poor Traci\u2019s 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\u2019t know that they\u2019d continue that, they\u00a0do\u00a0have a connection that could be warm and caring for both of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Surrogate Mother<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Jess](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jill-YR-HW.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Howard Wise\/JPI\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Even after Cane turned out\u00a0not\u00a0to be Jill\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Former Rival<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Lauren](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Lauren-Michael-YR-HW_3f3716.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Howard Wise\/JPI\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The 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\u2019t see Michael being thrilled to see Cane back in town this time around \u2014 especially if he just gave up his job with Victor for Lauren\u2019s sake and Cane ends up sniffing around once again!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tThe Opportunist<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"Holden](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Holden-Audra-YR-CBS.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
If there\u2019s one thing Audra knows, it\u2019s how to cozy up to those with power \u2014 Tucker, Victor, Nate, Kyle. She managed to scheme her way into going along to Dumas\u2019 big party and once Cane\u2019s revealed to be a major power player, we can see her figuring out a way to use him, too!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tThe True Chancellor<\/p>\n
\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Chance-YR-CBS.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: CBS screenshot\t\t\t<\/p>\n
We know Chance has got his own thing going with being a Genoa City cop, but he\u00a0is\u00a0a Chancellor, and we can\u2019t imagine that the former exec would just keep his mouth shut if Cane returned with his own designs on Katherine\u2019s company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Mother<\/p>\n

So far as we know, it\u2019s 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?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Children<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Jill Johnson\/JPI\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Young & Restless could add some more \u201cyoung\u201d to its lineup by having Cane and Lily\u2019s twins come home from college for a little father\/son-and-daughter bonding. That is, if they are on good terms with Pop.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tHis Illegitimate Son<\/p>\n

A little SORAS-ing could bring to Genoa City Sam, Cane\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Cane 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\u2019s determination to take on Genoa City\u2019s bigwigs \u2014 something like, \u201cBro, don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
