The Young and the Restless: A glance at Cane Ashby's character
According to the storyline of The Young and the Restless, Cane Ashby, portrayed by Daniel Goddard, first appeared on the show in 2007. He was introduced as Colin Atkinson's son and the husband of Lily Winters. As the show progressed, Cane made a name for himself in Genoa City and became a successful businessman.
Cane's romance with Lily was one of the major aspects of his character, as they got married in 2009. Their relationship was tested when Lily suffered from ovarian cancer, but Cane supported her and remained by her side. Later, Cane's dark past resurfaced as it was revealed that he had ties to the Australian crime syndicate led by his father, Colin.
Meanwhile, on The Young and the Restless, Cane got himself involved in a fraudulent scheme that named him as an heir to Devon Hamilton's fortune. When the truth was revealed, he lost Devon's trust. As his marriage with Lily was already over, he decided to leave Genoa City in 2019.
