The drama in Genoa City is heating up once again as The Young and the Restless gears up for one of its most shocking twists of the year.

After months of speculation and whispers, Colin Atkinson has returned — and this time, it’s not just for redemption or reconciliation. He’s

back from the dead, and his eyes are set firmly on revenge. His son, Cane Ashby, finds himself at the center of the storm, facing a terrifying reckoning for past betrayals that Colin refuses to forgive.

 

 

Colin’s Shocking Resurrection Stuns Genoa City

When Colin Atkinson first appeared years ago, he was the charming but deceitful con artist who always had one foot in trouble and the other in someone else’s bank account. His “death” months ago left many wondering if it was really the end for the cunning mastermind. Fans were right to be suspicious — in true Y&R fashion, no one stays dead forever.

 

 

This week’s spoilers confirm the unthinkable: Colin is alive. Viewers will see the first glimpse of him lurking in the shadows outside Chancellor Park, watching Cane from a distance. Dressed in dark clothes and wearing that trademark grin, Colin’s return is every bit as dramatic as fans expected.

 

 

How he survived his supposed death remains a mystery — was it a faked accident, or did someone help him vanish? Either way, his sudden reappearance sets off alarms throughout Genoa City.

Cane’s Life Spirals Out of Control

Cane Ashby has been desperately trying to rebuild his life after his messy scandals and strained family relationships. But all that hard work threatens to crumble now that his father is back.

 

 

According to spoilers, Cane first learns about Colin’s return from Jill Abbott, who receives a chilling anonymous message that reads: “You can’t bury what isn’t dead.” Jill immediately suspects Colin, and when she confronts Cane, his reaction says it all — shock, fear, and guilt.

 

 

Later in the episode, Cane confides in Billy Abbott, admitting he once helped his father cover up financial crimes years ago, hoping to protect his family. “I thought I was done with his lies,” Cane says, visibly shaken. “But he’s back — and I know exactly what he’s capable of.”

It becomes clear that Colin’s revenge isn’t just emotional — it’s financial and deeply personal. He blames Cane for turning on him during his final con, claiming that Cane’s betrayal cost him everything. Now, Colin wants to make his son suffer the same way he did.

Jill Caught in the Middle

Of course, Jill Abbott, Colin’s ex-wife and occasional partner in crime, finds herself dangerously caught in the crossfire. Jill has always had a complicated relationship with Colin — part love, part fury, and plenty of mistrust.

When Colin confronts her at the Chancellor mansion, Jill is stunned. Their emotional reunion quickly turns bitter when she realizes Colin didn’t return for forgiveness. “You should’ve stayed gone,” she spits, but Colin’s smirk only grows wider.

He taunts her, hinting that he has evidence of her involvement in one of his old financial schemes — something that could destroy her reputation if exposed. “You think you’re safe because you wear the crown now, Jill?” Colin says. “But every empire has its cracks.”

This shocking confrontation leaves Jill shaken, but she’s not one to back down. Fans can expect her to team up with Cane in the coming episodes to uncover Colin’s plan before it’s too late.

Lily Steps In – But Is It Too Late to Save Cane?

Meanwhile, Lily Winters returns to offer Cane some much-needed support. Though their romantic relationship ended long ago, their shared history runs deep, and Lily can’t stand by while Cane’s world collapses again.

Spoilers reveal that Lily visits Cane at his apartment after hearing about Colin’s return, urging him not to let fear control him. “You’ve fought your demons before,” s
