The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that business-related pressures cause Lily (Christel Khalil) and Cane (Daniel Goddard) to battle on their anniversary, which is also Valentine’s Day. Mr. Ashby hasn’t been supportive of his wife’s return to modeling and his own attempt to buy Brash and Sassy just failed. Both building pressures and the addition of a new character could prove problematic for one of Y&R’s enduring and endearing super couples.
Lane’s most recent wedding occurred in France on Valentine’s Day. What could be more romantic than reviving their nuptials on that lover’s holiday and in that country? Those scenes, which included a strong contingent of their families and friends surely made for memorable viewing.
Various family matters, Lily’s past health scare, Cane faking his own death, a plane crash that all key characters involved somehow survived and other issues, had made life challenging for this pairing. However, Joe Clark’s (Scott Elrod) targeting of Lily proved very damaging, as she betrayed Lane’s wedding vows. That arc reinforced that this couple isn’t as solid as some believe.
Lily overreacted to Cane’s connection to Lauren (Tracey Bregman), which caused the major relationship tear. Since a full repair was made, this likeable duo had been raising the twins and seemingly doing fine.
Cane’s recent self-centered response to Lily’s unexpected return to modeling felt like a pushed plot point. But his attempt to buy Brash and Sassy is believable, considering the number of years Cane has worked in business and his overall ambitious nature. The fallout from that failed attempt to move from the employee to owner class will be lasting.
The addition of Darnell Kirkwood (Jordan Wilde) to the cast has created a legitimate point of potential conflict between Lily and Cane as well. This accomplished photographer knew Lily from her days as a Jabot model. Cane’s defensive antennae instantly perked up, along with those of the viewers, as soon as that connection was shown. Can anyone say Jily, or Lordan?
The Joe incident wasn’t all that long ago. That historical point set a precedent, regardless of whatever Lily might say about loyalty and love. Cane had that moral crime in the back of his mind as he watched Jordan interact with his wife.
Perceived or real, that threat will add to existing tensions between Lane. Whether said strife results in lasting fallout or past lessons learned enable trouble to be averted will soon be seen.
