Cole's funeral is offscreen.  They show the characters gathering at their homes  before and after, but don't show the service.

Here they are, back from the service. Nick, "It was so cool to hear all of Cole's colleagues from Oxford talk about him." #AllOffScreen #YR pic.twitter.com/S2rTqpBpL9

You may remember that while Cane was distracting everyone in France, he had Holden purchasing properties and companies all over Genoa City, via Cane's shell corporation named "Arabesque".  (Adam and Chelsea figured this out, and then Adam went to France to tell Victor).  In these conversations, it was said that one the properties that Cane purchased was the Genoa City Athletic Club.

Monday August 4th US (Friday August 1st Canada)
Billy and Phyllis meet with Cane in Cane's GCAC hotel suite.
They ask why Cane isn't in the fancier penthouse suite at the GCAC, since he now owns the place. He says the penthouse was already booked and . . .
Cane says this GCAC hotel suite is only for a temporary stay He'll be living on his private train when it gets there. He has an identical train on every continent.
 

Cane's going to live on his train. "I have an identical train on every continent." 😂🤣😂🤣 #YR pic.twitter.com/3dQW6rKjpa

This has been corroborated by other Canadian recappers.

Not a joke!

Entertainment Tonight (ET Online) just did a 9-minute video interview with Billy Flynn on August 1st.

The ET interview is on the train set.  And it's current because Amanda and Phyllis are wearing wardrobe that hasn't aired yet.  Plus, a script cover is shown for something filmed in July that will air in September.  Cane's Genoa City office is on his private train.  REALLY

During the August 1st ET interview with Billy Flynn on the train set, there's a script under a seat cushion and BF pulls it out and shows it.

At about 6:29

Cane on a train.

Just when you think Y&R has reached new depths of ridiculousness, they manage to come up with something new.

Who is approving this nonsense??

It's complete nonsense.  The absurdity is just . . . you can't make this up. 

Will the next big special event involve Lily singing this to Cane?

I love it. Just change "to a restaurant" to "to a continent."

Cole's funeral is offscreen.  They show the characters gathering at their homes  before and after, but don't show the service.

This show is a boring mess.  But actually, I'm okay with this decision.  Not every character who dies needs an on-screen funeral.  And Cole was a relatively minor character this time around.  I'm not a fan of on-screen funerals on soaps in general.  These days, most soaps just use funerals as time-fillers anyway.  On-screen funerals should be reserved for very major characters and long, long-term legacy characters.  Others might disagree.  That's cool.

Tues. Aug. 5 USA (Mon. Aug. 4 CDN)– Episode #13181 –
"Jill and Billy share a heated exchange."

Jess Walton is list with the noncontract actors in the closing credits
for the episode of Mon. Aug. 4 USA (aired Fri. Aug. 1st Canada).
So that's the noncontract actors for week of Aug. 4-8 USA.

Yay we'll see Jill, and not just learn of an offscreen call with her. But will it be in person or will Jill be on videochat?  They credit the actors whether they appear on the set in person or via videochat.

Will the "heated exchange" actually be about Chance's death?  Or just arguments about Chancellor Industries, Abbott Communications, and Cane Ashby?

Y&R summer preview from Josh Griffith
via Richard Simms for soaps.sheknows
Published Thursday, June 12th, 2025

https://soaps.sheknows.com/gallery/young-restless-summer-preview-2025/claire-kyle-yr-cbs-8/ 

(This was published in June shortly before the France storyline began with Dumas revealed as Cane, and two weeks before Cole died.)

The spoilers regarding Claire and how she might react to something devastating -- could apply to Cole's death; or maybe learning about what nearly happened with Audra/Kyle in France. 
(none of those things had aired when this preview was released)

 

Posting here only what hasn’t aired yet as of August 1st.
(posting only the spoilers and omitting the commentary)

Dumas storyline impact on the Y&R canvas overall:

• soaps.sheknows:  the introduction of the much-mentioned Aristotle Dumas. viewers will finally get their first glimpse the week of June 16.
• Josh Griffith: what follows will be “massive, like nothing else in daytime.” 
• soaps.sheknows:  by summer’s end, the whole canvas will have been changed forever thanks to the new power player on the scene. 

 

Audra:

• soaps.sheknows:  Audra hopes <snip> Kyle falling for her, exactly as Victor planned. 
• Griffith: “Remember,” he teases, “Audra is always going to look out for No. 1.”
• soaps.sheknows:  Audra might want to keep in mind Kyle’s current lady love, Claire

Claire:

• re Claire, Griffith says: If she went dark again, “wouldn’t that be interesting?” 
• soaps.sheknows:  Claire has other things on her mind, too, especially with dad Cole suffering a health crisis.
• Griffith: “If something devastating were to happen,” Griffith ponders, “I think the impact on Victoria, and especially Claire, would be massive.” 

Devon:

• Griffith: “Devon is out to protect his family,” .“There is some deep concern on his part that Dumas is not only targeting the Winterses but many players in Genoa City.” 
• soaps.sheknows:  … but he’s not going to shy away from a conflict that could impact so many people that he cares about. 
• Griffith: “[Devon] He’s going to do whatever he can,” Griffith promises, “to protect his father’s legacy and his family.” 

Sally:

• soaps.sheknows:  Don’t expect Sally to take a back seat to anyone… including Billy!
• Griffith: “They are on very solid ground, but she’s going to stand up for herself in a big way,” Griffith foreshadows. “It’s fantastic!” 

 
Phyllis:

• Griffith: “Following the trauma that Phyllis suffered after being kidnapped by Laurent, she is more focused than we have seen her in a long time,” submits the scribe. “She’s in a position to achieve what she needs to both romantically and professionally.” “I think it’s time for Phyllis to get a win on both fronts” 

Chelsea:

• Griffith: “Chelsea is at a point where some of that ruthlessness of Adam can rub off on her,” Griffith says, “and some of her old ways can come back, so that they can really work together and cross those lines if they need to, to protect the people they love.”

Amelia & I finally connected. Check out this new interview with one my favorite people. (EXCLUSIVE) Y&R’s Amelia Heinle Talks Cole’s Death, What’s Next for Victoria and Claire, 20 Years in Genoa City, and the Loss of Her Home - #YR #AmeliaHeinle #VictoriaNewman Read on bit.ly/4o6RVcf

Michael Fairman interview with Amelia Heinle
July 21, 2025
https://michaelfairmantv.com/the-young-and-the-restless-amelia-heinle-interview-victoria-newman/2025/07/21/

Very long interview about multiple topics:  current storylines, possible future storylines, what it was like to act the scenes when Cole died, working professionally with actress Hayley Erin, Heinle's real-life situation of her house being destroyed by the wildfire in January 2025, and her 20th anniv on Y&R.   (She also says something very funny regarding inappropriate chemistry . . . )
Worth reading the whole thing.

For this spoiler thread:  Quoting here only spoilerish excerpts about Victoria and Claire in the aftermath of Cole’s death

Fairman: What is Victoria feeling now? Will she bounce back quickly?

AMELIA: Oh, she’ll recover! Where’s Nate (Sean Dominic)? No, I’m just kidding. (Laughs). I think, Victoria and Cole had good closure and in the writing as well. There was a couple of episodes where she had to get to say goodbye to the picture a couple times and then be like, “You’re not suffering anymore and you’re in a better place.” I think Victoria’s going to need some time to heal, and then in typical fashion, we’ll find her with someone else in town.

Fairman: Everybody is believing it will be Nate who will pick up the pieces, as you just mentioned.

AMELIA: It might surprise the fans. I don’t know what Josh Griffith (EP and head writer, Y&R) has in mind. Right now, it’s all about Claire and making sure she is getting through it, and being a good mom to the kids.

Fairman: So, you had mentioned that there will be a new man in Victoria’s life, but do you ever get to make suggestions to the powers-that-be, or do you have to just play that into your scenes if you’d like to work with somebody?

AMELIA: That’s a really good question. I don’t ask for anything. It’s not my job. 
The other day I had a scene with Jason Thompson (Billy) and I’m like, “Huh, I haven’t had a scene with him in a while!” I mean, we always play love beneath our relationship though, because he’s the father of Victoria’s kids and we’ll always love each other, and I know Jason always plays it too.

Fairman: Do you think if Claire goes off the deep end that Victoria would figure it out and know what’s going on … or do you think she will be in the dark?

AMELIA: I loved when Hayley first came on and she was kind of fooling us all in the office as Claire. I think her personality layered that really well, because Hayley is kind of cut and dry when she talks in real life. It kind of lends itself to that sort of a story. I was disappointed when they started making her so good and, “I love kids.” I’m like, “No! I want you to be bad. You were so good, bad!” It’s more interesting. I hope they go back that direction. I think when they do, Victoria will figure it out, obviously, but it’ll probably take her awhile, because Victoria’s always a day late and a dollar short. But they write that! (Laughs)

Fairman: Victoria’s a shrewd business woman. She can outsmart and maneuver people. However, in her home life, she’s not so much!

AMELIA: Hey, you know what? It’s a lot like real life sometimes. where we meet people that are really good in business and then terrible in their personal life, where you go, “Hey, she’s seriously dating that guy?” However, I would love to see Victoria figure out what is going on with her daughter.

Fairman: If you were to just tease what’s to come for Victoria and where she’s at emotionally in her life, what would you say? Where does she go from here?

AMELIA: Victoria is picking up the pieces and moving on, making sure her daughter’s mentally okay, while a little worried about her. I think Victoria’s focus is clear right now on Claire and her other kids. She’s probably not thinking that far ahead.  I think that she wants to get back to work and focus on ‘Newman.’ Whenever anything gets hard or goes wrong for her in her life, she kind of defaults back to ‘Newman’ and throwing herself into work. So, that’s where you will probably see my character coming up.

Zuleyka Silver interview
by Melodie Aikels for Daytime Confidential
Published July 28, 2025.

Good interview about Audra's character. The full interview is here:
https://daytimeconfidential.com/2025/07/28/yr-zuleyka-silver-interview-kyle-audra-build

(Interview conducted in July when the characters were still airing on the France set.
Not sure if it was done before or after the scenes aired where Kyle and Audra were almost in bed on the train.)

Quoting only the end of the interview.
Zuleyka: "Kyle and Audra are going to continue to build! It's just gonna get to a point where the lines will be very blurred. It's a lot of a lot of fun stuff happening. So, we'll see!"
