Promo version #3,
in high definition, contains all the scenes from both of first two promos

Y&R: French Riviera Promo, June 17
 

Update that this version #3 of the promo on youtube ...
is geo-blocked outside the USA, so you'd need to watch via VPN.

EDIT, they took it down.

But you can just watch all the scenes in the first promo and second promo  (upthread) and you'll get all the content from version #3.

Second Promo on instagram is missing the scene of Sharon spotting Nick&Phyllis in the maze.
That missing scene is in First Promo.

Ahead of his debut on The Young and the Restless, Billy Flynn confirms exclusively to Us Weekly that he is, indeed, Aristotle Dumas

Thank you for posting!
 

“Before I started, I was nervous to work with all these people. I was comfortable where I was and I had earned trust and in the people who knew what I could do,” he continues. “[But] everybody here was so great. I remember watching the monitor the first day, and was so impressed by everybody’s talent that I started to get really nervous [again].”

Flynn adds that the fact that there has been so much hype surrounding Aristotle Dumas — the soap has been mentioning the character as a mysterious business tycoon for months, but he has yet to appear on screen — makes it even more “nerve-wracking.”

Flynn also teases that there’s more to the story, comparing his character to “the person behind the Great Gatsby.” 

interesting.

It's been blindingly obvious that he's playing Dumas since the announcement, which is fine (though the secrecy is ridiculous), but if this turns out to be Cane...

Update, June 20, 2022

UsWeekly Magazine, part two of the interview:
Billy Flynn Breaks Down Reveal as Cane, Chemistry With Christel Khalil’s Lily

https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/billy-flynn-breaks-down-his-reveal-as-cane-chemistry-with-lily/

 

Quoting some excerpts:

“Aristotle Dumas is my version — or Cane’s version — of The Great Gatsby with Lily being Daisy,” Flynn, 40, exclusively told Us Weekly. “In my mind, it was about a guy who felt an incredible amount of guilt and shame in his life and wanted to create a new version of himself that would be worthy of the woman that he loves and the people that know him from Genoa City.”

“He’s still somebody who is trying to figure out who he is,” Flynn continues. “He’s vulnerable, and he’s in love with one woman. There’s aspects of him that are broken, and he’s doing his best to put all those things together to be this version of himself that would make these people proud.”

“It’s the reason Gatsby threw all these parties — to reveal this new version, to show off [and he’s thinking], ‘Can I throw this elaborate party in hopes that Lily’s gonna show up?’” he explains.

He acknowledges it’s “very scary” take on a “rebrand of a character” 

“People are going to have their opinions about that. There’s nothing I can do or control about that. I was hired to play a part, so I got to do that the best that I can, and part of that is that love story and their history. I did the work. I did as much preparation as I could"
