The mystery surrounding Aristotle Dumas appears to have been solved in the latest episode of The Young & the Restless. The enigmatic tycoon is a formidable opponent to the Newmans, eyeing their every potential business move. While his identity hasn’t been revealed yet, Billy claims to know him well. He told Phyllis that Dumas had reached out with a compelling offer, which could pose a problem for Victor. To seek revenge on his rival, he plans to reacquire Chancellor. But who is Aristotle Dumas, and why does he lurk in the shadows? Here are the details.
Who is Aristotle Dumas in The Young and the Restless?
Fans speculate that the storyline may have hinted at Cane Ashby being Aristotle Dumas. The upcoming episode would likely provide much-needed clarity on Dumas.
The speculations about Ashby being Dumas began following the recent conversation between Billy and Phyllis. During their discussion, Billy explained Aristotle Dumas’ potential plans to use Chancellor to bring down his rival, Victor. Moreover, he emphasized that Dumas is “the key to Chancellor.” He also revealed that the anonymous businessman insisted he become an investor in the company and help him seek revenge on Victor.
This conversation hinted at a strong chance of Cane Ashby portraying Aristotle Dumas. This is because he has spent years at Chancellor and was a driving force behind it multiple times. Given his strong ties and the businessman’s latest concerns over the Chancellor, the theory becomes even more plausible, making it more likely that Ashby and Dumas are the same person. Additionally, Lily’s role in the story adds weight to the speculations. Since Lily shares a past and children with Cane, her involvement in Dumas’ story further connects the dots, strengthening the existing theory that Cane is Dumas.
Recently, Daniel Goddard, who plays Cane, took to Instagram to share a video revealing that he has a big announcement to make in the coming days. Although he didn’t provide any hints, he did share a key detail—he got a haircut. This could possibly mean he is preparing for a new role, which may or may not be related to The Young & the Restless (Y&R).
