According to recent speculations, The Young and the Restless alum Daniel Goddard might be on the cusp of returning to the beloved soap drama as Cane Ashby. The long-running CBS show has sanctioned the departure and eventual comeback of several actors and characters over the years, making the practice a common occurrence for fans. As such, Goddard’s recent social media activity has prompted Y&R viewers to theorize that the BeastMaster alum might just reprise his role on the soap shortly.

Here’s everything you need to know regarding Daniel Goddard’s proposed return to The Young and the Restless.

Is Daniel Goddard returning to The Young and the Restless as Cane Ashby?

At the time of writing, CBS has yet to share an official word about Goddard coming back to The Young and the Restless. Instead, the rumors about his return stem from a cryptic X (formerly Twitter) video recently posted by the actor himself.

On March 25, Daniel Goddard took to social media to confess the advent of a huge update but refrained from name-dropping The Young and the Restless. Writing “Big news… and I can’t wait to share it with you” in the caption, Goddard revealed that he has been receiving several texts regarding what the news could be. Shying away from giving out details, the actor noted, “All I can say is this. Just for now, I got a haircut. And it’s for a reason. So just soon. Very soon. I can’t wait to tell you.”

Daniel Goddard made his last appearance on The Young and the Restless in 2019, bidding the show goodbye after his character, Cane Ashby, finalized his divorce from Lily. However, his latest message on social media has fans thinking that Goddard might just return to the Y&R setup either as Cane or as Aristotle Dumas, Damian’s secret business partner.

While an official update has yet to come out, Young and Restless fans can expect more clarity from Daniel Goddard on the topic in the coming days.
