Alright, my dear Young & Restless enthusiasts, let’s talk about Cane Ashby and his… train. Honestly, the storyline has left me scratching my head just as much as it has many of you!
Loyal viewers will recall the whirlwind of chaos that followed Cane’s return – a series of events that culminated in not one, not two, but three unfortunate demises over in France. Now, with Cane settling into his “man pain train” here in Genoa City, one might expect a certain… caution. A heightened awareness of his surroundings, perhaps?
But, as several astute viewers have pointed out – and I must wholeheartedly agree – Cane seems utterly oblivious to the potential dangers lurking around every bend in the track. Now, I understand the writers need to get Phyllis involved and there’s a plot brewing. But, come on now!
We’re being asked to believe that a billionaire, fresh off the heels of a potentially murderous ordeal, is residing on a train – a train! – with less security than a park bench. Is it so far fetched to think the man needs a ring doorbell?
The Reddit user Snora80 put it perfectly: “With all the money he has does he not have better security or at least a ring camera?!”
We’ve seen uninvited guests stroll through the Abbott and Newman homes, yes, but at least there’s a front door involved! This train scenario feels…exposed. Remember Chance’s involvement in the investigation into Cane’s alleged murder? Chance’s services were required to see what was going on. Now, the story seems forgotten!
Speaking of, remember how convinced Cane was that someone was trying to eliminate him in Nice? It was the basis of Chance Chancellor’s entire investigation! Yet, that plot thread seems to have vanished into thin air, leaving a gaping hole in the narrative. Are we to believe that threat has simply dissipated? I think not!
It all seems a bit convenient, doesn’t it? Convenient for Phyllis, who (as we saw) was able to sneak onto the train undetected, eavesdrop on Cane’s private message to his children, and offer her unsolicited “two cents.” While I appreciate the dramatic possibilities this presents, I can’t help but feel that the writers are sacrificing believability for the sake of plot.
It simply doesn’t add up. Cane, as we know him, is a man of meticulous planning, careful calculations, and a deep-seated need for privacy. To depict him as living in a mobile fortress with no visible security measures is a disservice to the character. It leaves him vulnerable, not only to the machinations of Phyllis, but potentially to something far more sinister.
What do you think of Cane’s surprisingly unguarded lifestyle on the train?
In tomorrow’s episode, we’ll see Nikki confronting Victor about his recent deception. The drama continues as…
