Cane and Lily’s reconciliation have been pushed aside for whatever’s going on with Cane and Phyllis.

This week’s slow-burning storyline involves Cane and Lily on The Young and the Restless. Cane has been determined to reconcile with his family, including his ex-wife, Lily. However, it seems the soap is taking a pause on this storyline.
Key Takeaways
- Cane initially planned to get his ex-wife, Lily, back.
- The show has been testing the chemistry between Cane and Phyllis.
- Christel Khalil announced that she’s pregnant with her third child.
- Cane and Lily’s reconciliation could be on hold for now.
The Signs Are Adding Up
Ever since Cane (Billy Flynn) revealed himself as Aristotle Dumas, things have never been the same. In June, Christel Khalil shared her thoughts on the possibility of reconciliation.
The point of recasting Cane was to make him a completely different character. And because of this, his ex-wife sees him in a different light, too. She has no attraction to Cane whatsoever…or so she claims.
She also made it clear that Cane and Lily are not getting back together. “It’s never happening,” Khalil boldly stated. For that to happen, Cane would have to rebuild Lily’s trust.
That could take him a considerable amount of time. And here’s another clue. Khalil just shared the news that she and her husband, Sam Restagno, are expecting their third child.
The actress confirmed the news in a clever way. She revealed her baby bump in a cast Halloween dance video. Y&R viewers couldn’t help but notice Lily’s on-screen style has changed.
She’s been carrying a lot more tote bags. Khalil’s pregnancy now suggests that something or someone will send Lily out of town. Could that person be Cane?
How Cane’s Reconciliation Plans Could Get Ruined
Meanwhile, something’s brewing between Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Cane. It seems like the soap continues to test the chemistry between them. The two have already shared some sizzling scenes.
The latest one had viewers wondering what’s going on between them. Are Cane and Phyllis attracted to each other? Or is he using his good looks and charms to get Phyllis to confess that she has the AI program?
This AI storyline could have a shocking plot twist. Cane might still have the real program and just wanted to see who he could trust with the fake program. He could catch Phyllis and Victor (Eric Braeden) off guard.
There’s also the possibility that Cane and Phyllis could be growing closer to each other. We could see them becoming more than colleagues in the coming months ahead.
This could ruin his chances at reconciliation with Lily, at least for now. If he ends up with Phyllis, then Lily will really not want to have anything to do with him.
