Y&R: July 2025 Discussion Thread

Bringing this over from the June thread:

@Paul Raven asked what lying and betrayal Cane did in the past that led Lily to break up with him . . . .

The year 2017: Just the relevant parts regarding Cane from
https://web.archive.org/web/20190328022245/soapcentral.com/yr/recaps/2017/

To sum it up: 
Cane got a coworker pregnant and hid it.  Also, Cane sabotaged Billy at work, and got blackmailed by his accomplice, and then he stole the twin's school tuition to pay off the blackmailer.

Per admin: Remainder of post behind spoiler tag, due to length.

 

 

• Cane has sex with a coworker Juliet in Japan. They were drunk and he doesn't remember but he does know they were in bed, but he thinks they just slept.  Later on, he learns that she's pregnant and he's the father.
• Before the reveal of that, Juliet sues Brash&Sassy for sexual harassment and he denies it.
• Billy Abbott is with Brash&Sassy filming a commercial for men's cosmetics for the hockey league in California. Cane sabotages the film footage to make Billy look bad.
• Cane got some guy named Jesse to help with the film sabotage, and Jesse is now blackmailing Cane. Cane and Lily's children Mattie and Charlie go to the expensive private highschool Walnut Grove. Cane steals their school tuition to pay off the blackmailer.  Then the tuition comes due and Cane lies to Lily about where the money went.
• Meanwhile Juliet is pregnant and it's revealed that Cane is the father.  Lily kicks Cane out and he moves in with Juliet.
• Juliet dies in childbirth.  Cane has custody of their son who is named Sam.

The details were a continuous barrage of Cane doing sleazier and creepier things, and gaslighting Lily to hide it.

This was eight years ago and I still want to punch Cane in the mouth.
Cane also spent the year gaslighting Billy to wrest control of companies, and Cane was gaslighting Victoria to hide his crimes.

The year started out with Juliet *seeming* to be the sexual aggressor/manipulator/liar.   But as time passed, when the truth came out Cane was a creep.

January 23 to 27, 2017
Lily enthusiastically accepted a new job as brand ambassador for Brash & Sassy's men's line. Cane was irate that Jill, Billy, and Victoria had hired Lily without his input. Lily's excitement faded when Cane admitted that he wasn't happy about her return to modeling.

February 13 to 17, 2017
Cane's obsession with work ruined his anniversary dinner with Lily.

February 27 to March 3, 2017
Victoria assigned Cane to run Brash & Sassy's Asian division

(Cane and Juliet are in Japan. Juliet is part Asian and speaks Japanese and works with Brash&Sassy)

March 6 to 10, 2017
Cane nearly blew a critical deal to distribute Brash & Sassy in Asia, but Juliet saved the day

March 13 to 17, 2017
Cane and Juliet celebrated closing Brash & Sassy's Asian distribution deal by touring Tokyo and drinking heavily. A hungover Cane discovered Juliet's earring in his bed the next morning, but she claimed that she'd only put him to bed because he'd been too drunk to get back to his hotel room by himself. Upon returning home, Cane was surprised to find sexy lingerie in his suitcase.
Full recap of week of March 13-17  (Link) 

March 20 to 24, 2017
Juliet claimed that she'd slept in Cane's hotel room in Tokyo because she'd been too drunk to get home. Cane threw Juliet's camisole into the trash at Brash & Sassy, but Jordan discovered it. 

March 27 to 31, 2017
Cane informed Juliet that Victoria hadn't chosen her for the division manager position in Tokyo. Cane was horrified when Juliet told him that they'd had drunken sex in Tokyo. Cane panicked when Victoria wanted to hire Juliet for a position based in Genoa City.

April 3 to 7, 2017
Cane squirmed when Juliet accepted Victoria's job offer in Genoa City.

April 24 to 28, 2017
Cane panicked when Lily wore Juliet's camisole during a photo shoot. 

May 1 to 5, 2017
Cane arranged for Victoria to see Phyllis and Billy's passionate encounter when the elevator doors opened. Phyllis and Billy told Jack about their reunion. Cane was disappointed when Victoria didn't fire Billy, and Jack advised Cane to make sure Billy screwed up sooner rather than later. 

May 8 to 12, 2017
Billy pitched an idea to rush filming a commercial to air before the end of the hockey season, and Cane was irked when Victoria approved the idea over his objections. The Brash & Sassy team scrambled when the shoot suddenly got moved up, and Cane saw an opportunity for Billy to take the fall if things went wrong.

May 15 to 19, 2017
During a behind-the-scenes shoot for the Dare commercial, Jesse caught Billy and the hockey players joking about placing bets on their game. Cane bribed Jesse to edit the footage to look incriminating. Brash & Sassy faced losing their campaign with the hockey league when they rushed to air the footage on Hilary's show before getting the league's approval. Jesse blackmailed Cane into giving him more money to keep quiet.

May 22 to 26, 2017
Hilary overheard Cane and Juliet discussing their one-night stand. Hilary later secretly videotaped Juliet admitting that she'd had sex with Cane. Lily requested a copy of her interview, and Hilary swapped it with footage of Juliet's confession. Victoria met with the hockey league, who agreed to uphold their deal if Brash & Sassy scrapped the commercial and Victoria fired the person responsible for airing the incriminating footage. Billy tried to resign, but Victoria opted to fire Juliet instead. Cane destroyed the flash drive with Juliet's confession before Lily had a chance to watch it.

June 5 to 9, 2017
At Hilary's urging, Juliet filed a lawsuit against Brash & Sassy for sexual harassment, naming Cane as her harasser. Victoria was surprised when Cane urged her to settle the suit, even though he maintained his innocence. Lily stood by Cane, despite her suspicions about what might have happened in Tokyo.

June 12 to 16, 2017
Hilary recommended that Juliet use Leslie as her attorney. The judge decided to let Juliet's sexual harassment case go to trial. Victoria learned that Cane had botched the Tokyo deal before Juliet had bailed him out. Victoria declined Leslie's settlement offer. Against everyone's advice, Cane went to Juliet's hotel room and convinced her to drop the lawsuit, but Juliet changed her mind once again when Leslie informed her that Cane's visit had strengthened her case. Hilary refused to serve as a character witness on Juliet's behalf. Victoria chose to expedite discovery in order to prove Juliet was lying. Cane found Jordan comforting Lily.

June 19 to 23, 2017
Cane and Lily told the twins about the sexual harassment lawsuit against Cane. Both sides in the case agreed to an expedited discovery. During a deposition, Victoria berated Juliet for lying. Lily was devastated when Leslie presented hotel security footage of Cane and Juliet entering his hotel room together and Juliet leaving the next morning. Cane maintained that he hadn't sexually harassed Juliet, and Victoria pledged to continue to fight the lawsuit.

June 26 to 30, 2017
Jill tipped Jack off about the sexual harassment lawsuit, and he considered hiring Juliet. Juliet collapsed during an altercation with Lily. After Lily confronted Juliet at the hospital, Juliet showed Cane and Lily a lab report that proved she was pregnant and that the date of conception coincided with the trip to Tokyo. Cane confessed to Lily that he'd had sex with Juliet. After Cane told Victoria the truth about sleeping with Juliet and Juliet's pregnancy, Victoria decided to settle the lawsuit. Devon overheard the news of Juliet's pregnancy and begged Hilary to keep the story under wraps. Hilary watched footage of Juliet admitting that having sex with Cane hadn't had anything to do with her getting a job at Brash & Sassy. Hilary grappled with what to do when Juliet excitedly credited Hilary for helping her win the lawsuit.

July 3 to 7, 2017
Victoria settled the lawsuit with Juliet under the condition that Juliet sign a nondisclosure agreement. Victoria fired Cane for his lies. Juliet confided to Hilary that she wanted Cane to be part of her baby's life. Cane demanded that Juliet take a paternity test. Lily searched Cane's phone for correspondence with Juliet but found no evidence of sexual harassment.

July 10 to 14, 2017
Cane told his family that he'd been fired. Juliet announced that the paternity test confirmed that Cane was the father of her baby. Juliet offered to raise the child alone, but Lily demanded that Cane take responsibility. Charlie and Mattie were devastated when Cane and Lily informed them that Cane had fathered Juliet's baby. The rift between Cane and Lily widened. 

July 17 to 21, 2017
Lily admitted that she still loved Cane, but she pulled away from making love to him. Cane asked Devon for a job, but Neil thought it was best to keep family problems out of their company. Jack contemplated hiring Cane.

July 24 to 28, 2017
Cane was confident that Jack would hire him at Jabot, but he was livid when Victoria talked Jack out of it. Lily worried about her family's finances and felt responsible for making everything right. Jordan helped Lily film footage to submit for a national television commercial. A jealous Hilary learned about the commercial and snagged an audition herself. Jesse arrived in town and tried to extort more money from Cane. When Cane hesitated to pay, Jesse asked Billy how much he was willing to pay for what Jesse knew.

July 31 to August 4, 2017
Jesse extorted more money out of Cane. Cane lied to Lily that he'd withdrawn the funds for an investment opportunity. Jesse spilled the truth to Billy and Victoria with the expectation of a payoff, but Victoria refused to pay him. Billy and Victoria told Lily that Cane had paid Jesse to edit the footage and keep quiet about it. Lily threw Cane out. Jordan and Hilary clashed when she snagged the commercial spot that Lily had been hoping to get. Hilary questioned Jordan's true feelings for Lily.

Cane uses the twins' school fund to pay  the blackmailer

Monday, July 31, 2017
On the patio at Crimson Lights, Billy questioned Jesse, the photographer Cane had hired to shoot behind-the-scenes advertising footage for the hockey league tie-in with Brash & Sassy. Billy asked Jesse who'd been responsible for either failing to record or later erasing video that could've exonerated him. Billy grew angry when Jesse failed to respond. When pressed, Jesse said, "Well, I guess I'm still trying to figure out how much you care." Billy noted that the other person involved wouldn't talk. Billy threatened Jesse to tell him the name of the person responsible for "lopping off" the video footage.

Billy became distracted, and Jesse covertly snapped a photo of him. Jesse sent the photo of Billy to Cane and warned that if Cane couldn't pay, he knew someone else who could. Billy told Hilary that he and Jesse had been discussing the damning hockey footage that had landed Billy in trouble.

At Cane and Lily's house, Cane embraced Lily and said he was thankful she supported him and had encouraged their twins to consider reconciling, too. Lily said she didn't want to walk away from her family and hoped the twins could learn that forgiveness was possible, even if the transgression seemed unforgiveable. Lily added, "As long as I know the worst is behind us, then I can believe that, too." Cane assured her it was. Cane expressed his frustration about losing a job prospect because of Victoria. Lily suggested that Cane focus on their marriage and their family.

Mattie returned home and proudly announced that her first day as an intern at the Hamilton-Winters Group had gone well. Lily walked toward a laptop and said she'd send an email to her father to thank him for allowing Mattie to be an intern. Cane immediately reacted and yelled, "Don't touch that!" Mattie asked why her mother couldn't use the computer. Cane apologized for his outburst and claimed he'd been running a virus scan that wasn't finished. 

After Lily and Mattie left the room, Cane appeared distraught after he read the text message and saw the picture of Billy that Jesse had sent. Cane opened the laptop in the privacy of the kitchen. The computer screen displayed a record of a financial transaction Cane had initiated but not completed that would transfer $25,000 from the twins' education fund to another account. Cane hesitated before finalizing the transaction. Afterward, Cane sighed heavily and wiped the sweat from his face with his hands.

Mattie picked up a letter from Walnut Grove. Lily opened the letter and noted that it was a bill for school tuition. Mattie suggested she and Charlie transfer to a public school because their father was unemployed. Lily said she and Cane had set aside funds to pay tuition because nothing was more important than Mattie and Charlie's education. Mattie admitted that she loved attending Walnut Grove. Later, Lily logged into the twins' education account and discovered that $25,000 was missing.

Hilary reminded Billy that she'd agreed to delete all the video footage related to the hockey league. Billy said he'd utilized software in the past that could recover deleted files. Hilary agreed to enlist her most technically savvy employee to recover the files if Billy agreed to help her in the future. Billy struck a deal with Hilary.

Billy was disappointed when the recovered footage didn't include video beyond what appeared to be his incriminating comment. Billy asked Hilary if she routinely allowed her camera operator to decide when to stop the camera or if someone with more input gave the order for the camera operator to stop recording. Hilary said that someone in charge gave orders to her camera operators. Billy noted that he'd been the prominent subject of the footage in question that should've focused on Lily. Billy recalled that he and Victoria had wanted to question Jesse about why he'd stopped shooting when he had, but Cane had talked them out of doing so, claiming that Jesse wouldn't be helpful. Cane left abruptly when Jordan arrived.

Billy was gone by the time Cane showed up at the coffeehouse to confront Jesse. Jesse said he thought his business with Cane had ended after he'd received payment. Cane replied, "No, mate, see, you got your blood money, but you're not going anywhere until we get a couple of things straight." Cane pushed Jesse against the wall and threated to alert police if Jesse demanded more money. Billy returned and saw Cane threatening Jesse. Cane left before Billy approached Jesse. Billy angrily pushed Jesse and said, "Jesse, you're a piece of garbage. You lied, and I've got the proof."

----------------------------------

Tuesday, August 1, 2017

On the Crimson Lights patio, Billy taunted that Jesse shouldn't have talked about personal business in public, since Billy had gone to GC Buzz and retrieved the raw footage that Jesse had cut to make Billy look bad. Billy ominously stated that Jesse was on Billy's territory and that the D.A. and police chief were Billy's friends. Jesse swore that he was only in town to score a job on Hilary's show, but Billy threatened to start making calls if Jesse didn't start talking.

Billy escorted Jesse to Brash & Sassy. Billy revealed to Victoria that Jesse had met with their favorite ex-employee about the behind-the-scenes footage of the hockey players, and Billy had decided to give Jesse the option to tell them about his deal with Cane or to talk to the police. Jesse groused that Billy had been the one talking trash, but Billy announced that the end of the story hadn't made the final cut. Jesse defended that he hadn't broken any laws, but Billy suspected that the sudden wad of money in Jesse's bank account would raise uncomfortable questions if they went to the police. Billy implied that Victoria was willing to pay for the information instead.

Victoria offered to double what Cane had paid Jesse. Billy expected Jesse not to put his "ass on the line" out of misguided loyalty to Cane, but Victoria pointed out that the commercial spot that they'd never used had cost the company a small fortune. Billy informed Jesse of how powerful Victoria's family was, and he warned that she had connections who could make sure Jesse never worked again. Jesse swore that neither he nor Cane had known that the footage would air on television, and Billy asked what their plan had been. Jesse confessed that Cane had paid him to edit the footage to make Billy look bad.

Billy assumed that Jesse had proof, and Jesse pulled out a memory card with the unedited footage. Victoria retrieved a checkbook and declared that a deal was a deal, and she asked how much it would cost. Jesse replied that it would be $50,000 and handed over the memory card. Victoria slammed the checkbook shut, and Billy told the "blackmailing scumbag" to get out. Jesse asked about the money, but Billy flatly replied that he and Victoria had lied. Victoria suggested that Jesse go home with the $25,000 that he'd extorted from Cane, or she might change her mind about contacting the police. Jesse hurried out. "Damn, we're good," Billy mused.

Billy was aghast that everything had exploded because Cane had wanted to take Billy down. Victoria realized that Cane had ruined Lily's big break and had set things in motion for Juliet to get fired, leading to the sexual harassment mess. Billy was impressed with the way Victoria had gotten Jesse to admit how much money he'd gotten out of Cane, and Victoria wished they could sue Cane for what he'd cost the company. Billy pointed out that Lily and the twins would pay the most if Victoria sued Cane, and Victoria questioned whether he was suggesting she let Cane get away with it. "Hell, no!" Billy exclaimed.

At the Ashby home, a panicked Lily called the bank when she discovered that $25,000 was missing from the bank account established for the twins' tuition. She figured that there had been a mistake or identity theft, but the bank informed her about a recent transfer. A stunned Lily hung up as Cane returned home, and she demanded to know what he'd done. She explained that the she'd called the bank when she'd discovered that the tuition money that they'd put aside wasn't there, and she'd learned that Cane had made a large transfer. Cane claimed that a short-term investment opportunity had arisen, and he'd jumped on it to help take some of the financial pressure off of her.

Cane claimed that he wanted to prove that he could provide for his family financially. Lily questioned the timing of making a huge financial decision without her, since the tuition was due in full that night. Cane swore that it was just a matter of transferring funds from one account to another but that they had the money for it. Lily was glad that he'd found a way to generate more income, since she'd just found out that she hadn't gotten the commercial. Cane pulled her into his arms and assured her that she'd eventually take her career to the next level. 

The doorbell rang, and Cane was surprised to see Billy and Victoria. Victoria was glad to see that Lily was home to hear what they had to say.

Cane contended that he and Lily were dealing with enough. Victoria stated that she didn't mean to add to their troubles, but she thought she and Billy wouldn't be doing Lily any favors by keeping the truth from her. Billy divulged that he'd had an interesting talk with Jesse after seeing Cane and Jesse at Crimson Lights together. Billy added that Cane had screwed over all of them, including Lily. Lily stared at a guilty Cane.

Lily tells Cane that he has to leave the house

----------------------------------

Wednesday, August 2, 2017

Billy and Victoria told Lily that Cane had screwed them all over, including Lily. Victoria asked if Lily recalled the behind-the-scenes footage that they were all scrambling to find after the photo shoot. Lily asked if it was the incident where Billy said that betting on the games had been a joke. Billy told Lily that Cane had paid Jesse to delete the footage. Lily asked why.

Victoria said that Cane had been trying to make Billy look bad. Billy provided Lily with the memory card from Jesse's camera. Lily watched the video. Victoria said that they hadn't wanted to hurt Lily, but keeping what Cane had done from her seemed much worse. Cane accused Victoria of ruining him in front of Lily, but Billy said that Lily deserved to know -- and he was certain that Cane wouldn't tell her.

Billy said Cane had paid Jesse to delete the footage and go away. However, Jesse had returned for a second shakedown, and Cane had paid Jesse $25,000 earlier that day. Cane claimed he'd had no choice because Jesse would have told everyone. Victoria said that Jesse had told them anyway.

Cane ordered Billy and Victoria to leave, but Billy said only if Lily wanted them to. Lily said she needed to speak privately with Cane. Cane opened the door and ordered them out. Victoria apologized to Lily for everything. Billy added that if Lily needed anything, she should let them know, and they left.

Lily didn't know who Cane was anymore. She said that they had discussed what Billy, Victoria, and Juliet had done, but she wanted to know why Cane had fed her with massive lies. She accused him of taking their kid's tuition as blackmail payment to Jesse. Cane apologized for taking the tuition. Lily said if Cane thought it was about the tuition -- then Cane knew nothing.

Lily accused Cane of lying to her about a super urgent investment he'd needed to make. He'd lied about having sex in Tokyo. Cane said he hated himself for every lie he'd told her, but he'd been scared that he'd lose her. Lily yelled at him to stop using that as an excuse. Cane said his family meant everything to him, and he'd wanted to fix everything. Lily told him to look around because nothing had been fixed. He'd made everything worse, and she couldn't take it anymore.

Cane promised he'd never lie to her again and asked for a chance to prove it. Lily said family meant everything to her, and she'd tried to be strong. Cane said he felt the same, but Lily reeled on him and said that Cane had never put them first. He'd always put his needs, fears, and himself first. Cane admitted that was true, and that was a lesson he'd never forget. Lily asked where he'd begin to atone for what he'd done to his family. Lily didn't want to be near him. She told him to pack his bags and leave immediately.

At the counter, Charlie saw Juliet and said it was nice to see her. Reed and Mattie approached. Juliet greeted Reed by name. Charlie asked if Reed knew her. Reed said it was Juliet, the woman who'd sued his mother. Mattie added that she was the woman that their dad had gotten pregnant. Charlie asked if she'd known who he was at the pool. Juliet said no and that she'd found out much later. She said she didn't play games. Reed said games -- like the one she'd played with his mother, where she'd taken home a big cash prize.

Juliet said she knew it was a difficult time for them. She'd heard a lot about the wonder twins and had wanted to meet them -- but not like that. Charlie asked how she could act like she didn't have a clue and like it was no big deal. He asked if she had any idea what she'd done to his family. Juliet said she thought about it constantly and felt terrible. She was sorry they'd all gotten hurt, and she was trying to move on with her life. Juliet left.

At another table, Victoria and Billy had Champagne delivered. Billy found it difficult to call it a victory when they were so worried about Lily. Victoria said that Lily had needed to be told. Victoria said it had broken Victoria's heart to leave Lily with Cane. Billy was happy that Cane had been there when they called him out because he'd have kept on lying about everything. Billy assured Victoria that Lily hated being played, and they needed to take turns checking on Lily to make sure she was okay.

Victoria thought it was good that Lily had found out what Cane had been pulling behind her back, but it was awful that Lily's family was falling apart. When Billy asked if Victoria was okay because she seemed distracted, Victoria assured him she was great because the truth was out. It had been the best day she'd had since Juliet had slapped them with "that bogus lawsuit."

Abby saw Victoria in a lounge chair, visibly upset. Victoria told Abby that everything had started when Billy had wanted to shoot a commercial in Hollywood. They hadn't been able to use the commercial because Billy had been caught on tape, talking to the hockey players about gambling, so they'd lost all that money. She'd had to fire Juliet, who'd started a sexual harassment suit against Cane and her company. Cane had told her that Juliet had lied. Victoria had decided not to settle, but it had turned out that Cane had lied -- he'd slept with Juliet, who was pregnant.

Victoria said she'd paid Juliet a ton of cash, and earlier that day, she found out that Cane had sabotaged Billy because Cane had been petty and vindictive. Cane had sabotaged her company, and she really hated him for that. She didn't know if she could keep Brash & Sassy afloat. She sobbed that their last quarter had been terrible. She'd had to let two key executives go, and she couldn't afford to hire others because she'd tapped all her reserves because of the damages.

Victoria claimed she was the one who had to fix everything, and she felt "so alone." Victoria wept on Abby's shoulder. Abby was sorry for what Victoria had been dealing with and wished she'd known. Victoria hugged Abby, thanked her, and left.

Billy couldn't help but think about what might have been if Cane hadn't been able to pull off that stunt. Juliet would have her job, and there wouldn't have been a lawsuit. The commercial would have aired, and they wouldn't have had a bad quarter. One minute of footage had caused a chain reaction that had taken down Brash & Sassy.

The twins arrived at home and found Lily crying on the couch. They wanted to know what was wrong. Cane entered the room with packed bags. Lily said she'd asked Cane to move out to give her time to work things out. The twins understood. Cane told Mattie he'd be at the Chancellor house, but he'd be home to see them daily because he wanted them to know how much he loved them. Cane hoped they would find it in their hearts to forgive him because he'd always love them. Cane left.

Lily broke down crying while the twins comforted her. Outside, Cane wept alone.

SOD just published this summary of Cane/Lily but leaves out 90% of what I posted.
It has one sentence about Juliet and the baby, and erroneously says it was 2018.

Very epic!  I watched all nine minutes and 21 seconds (and 823 cuts) just to honor your hard work!   Hilarious!  Actually fun to watch.
And a time-lapse video of everyone's wardrobe over 4 months!

Stafford as Phyllis trying to say it sexy!  too funny.  Michael Graziadei could barely say it without laughing.

You are a legit legend. 😂❤️

@ChickenNuggetz92 That is amazing!

823?

I can't stop laughing. 

-- 2nd day in a row we've seen ONE couple eating at the elegantly set dining table among the hedges in Nice. Yesterday, Jack and Diane. Today, Nick and Sharon. No wait staff, no help, no one else around.

-- Oh, look, they're joined by Lily and Damien, who for some reason have to be asked to sit at the table with them.

-- Billy and Sally: BORING AF.

-- Billy talks about taking down Victor, but we've already heard directly from Hackmeister Josh Griffith that TGVN never loses. This is another hard pass.

-- Cane had to leave Nice just to meet Holden at the damn coffee shop??? JFC.

If you watch the first 2 minutes and 25 seconds of this Michael Fairman interview,
they joke about hearing the name Dumas ad nauseum, and discuss what happened there and why. Fairman was laughing.

Billy Flynn said he's been living with the casting info since January but they couldn't start taping him until he was available.  He doesn't actually say this, but he *implies* that the show had to tweak things while waiting until he could tape. He does say that he appreciated Josh Griffith being willing to work with him on the availability.  

Billy Flynn says he was naturally nervous about taking on a new role, as anyone would be, but then he became aware of all the build-up being created over time for "Aristotle Dumas", which made him much more nervous!  Billy said that when he finally started taping at Y&R, he told the other actors "I'm so sorry!"

Would someone please make a clip of just that part of the interview?  That way it could be shared without revealing other casting stuff being discussed on the entire youtube video.

(For anyone wishing to remain completely unspoiled, don't watch the whole youtube)

This mess has been going on for almost 6 months???...😵‍💫😵‍💫🤮

You should totally tweet this to the cast! EB especially would get a kick out of this!! 😂

Is anybody at Y&R actually watching this and thinking 'Great,well done'.

I hope for Billy's sake he is getting more money, a better schedule/commute and forming good relationships b/c the story stinks.

So no reception and the guests are stranded but Cane is able to fly from France to Wisconsin to talk to Holden?

And the director made the choice to have Cane enter CL and walk through a deserted set to the back area? At least he could have come in the other entrance and we might be fooled into thinking there were other customers in the main area. And then when Cane and Holden were talking, we had a waitress wandering around. Why bother?

I really expected a villa a la Tuscany and not some plastic hedges.It's embarassing.

So no reception and the guests are stranded but Cane is able to fly from France to Wisconsin to talk to Holden?

And the director made the choice to have Cane enter CL and walk through a deserted set to the back area? At least he could have come in the other entrance and we might be fooled into thinking there were other customers in the main area. And then when Cane and Holden were talking, we had a waitress wandering around. Why bother?

I really expected a villa a la Tuscany and not some plastic hedges.It's embarassing.

It is amazing that it is so so bad. Hedges and a train car was there idea of look how amazing we did for our awesome story for CANE ASHBY.
