I’ll tell ya the truth. When The Young and the Restless reintroduced Cane with the hedge maze and without the Australian accent, I was

kinda into it. I mean, obviously, the character’s change in age and height made no sense whatsoever, but I was sure that the show had

learned its lesson from the Tucker debacle and was bringing Cane back to really shake things up.

 

 

 

Just like Tucker always talked about his grand plans and never actually managed to accomplish [bleep], Cane is doing the same thing. And at this point, I have to ask in all sincerity a question about the character: Are we supposed to feel like he’s not right in the head?

We’ve gotta be building up to some explanation for why nothing he does makes sense, right? He lied to Lily and his family for years while cosplaying Aristotle Dumas… to prove himself to his family and win them back? Huh? But he also wanted to take over every company in Genoa City… which there was never any threat of him doing; that’s not a thing you can just walk in and, you know, do.

 

 

Cane also insisted when we first were reintroduced to him that he was sure someone was going to try to kill him. But no one did, and no one has. No one other than Phyllis, who’s coming off as loony as in her psycho vixen days, may like Cane, but they don’t hate him enough to unalive him.

 

 

So what conclusion can we draw from all of this? Cane is unwell. He’s gotta be, doesn’t he? His actions, his ever-changing plans and motivations, smack of some sort of dissociation from reality, a delusional state. If we could just book him a visit to Bold & Beautiful and get him a few sessions with Taylor, maybe she could prescribe something to bring him back to planet Earth and make him a character about whom we care rather than one by whom we’re confused.

If nothing else, admitting that Cane has a few loose screws in need of tightening would explain his bizarre behavior. We might feel for him rather than feel aggravated by him. And it would set the stage for him to get better and become the dynamic character that the show needs.
