Just an FYI- when no official announcement has been made, it's inappropriate to speculate or gossip about what happens backstage with actors or writers. After an announcement has been made, it's inappropriate to pick apart the details, speculating and gossiping about the veracity of said announcement and/or who did what to whom.

Many thanks.

I've never been a "Lily" fan .. but .. CK is a talented actress & I like "Lily" a whole lot more now that she's "Cane free".

I've also have never been a fan of the character "Lily"

not a fan either. with or without Cane and still not a fan.

I can understand why Christel misses working on Y&R, for much of her life she has been a part of this show so to move to Toronto and not have that couldn't have been an easy adjustment.

I sincerely hope that when the pandemic is "over," the writing will have improved, not only for Christel, but for ALL the actors! I am looking forward to a better Y&R! Love that Lily is back!!!

I'm a fan of Lily and glad she's back.

I am EXCITED to see a Cane free Lily, I don't understand why she (and him for that matter) was never allowed to branch off from this pairing. Lily had so much potential with Billy, Tyler and Avery's ex (cant think of his name)

Lily with a criminal, Joe Clark, or B=broke-down Billy-I cannot consign that.

The Winter's needs Lily. Whether one likes her or not, the family needs more members in it. I'm happy CK is happy. On a shallow note, she is gorgeous.

The Winters are such a big and important part of the show. With both Dru and Neil gone, Olivia and Malcolm away...what is there left? No disrespect to Devon but he never did it for me, Lily should have always been the center piece of the next generation since day 1. They've spent so much time on her relationship with Cane to the point where it was dreadful, that they've lost what was the essence of Lily's character. Them wanting CK back to show her as a strong business woman is what I live for. Let her bring the Winters's game back.

It's really nice to see her back!

Count me in the group that is happy to have Lily back and Cane free. Never understood why that pairing was so super popular. Lily is more interesting away from Cane, but didn't her children -- Mattie and Charlie -- move to be closer to her wherever she was living? I wonder if they will move back now? Has she mentioned them?
