The long-running soap opera, The Young and the Restless, has captivated audiences for over 50 years with its intriguing plotlines, family dynamics, and scandalous affairs. Recently, the show surprised viewers with a delightful twist by reintroducing a character from the 1990s, Cole Howard, after almost 25 years.
Cole Howard is the son of Eve Howard, who had a one-night affair with Victor Newman. Initially, Victor believed Cole was his son and agreed to provide financial support for him. However, Eve kept the truth from Cole, not revealing that Victor wasn’t his biological father.
Cole later fell in love with Victor’s daughter, Victoria, leading to a secret marriage. However, when Victor revealed the truth about Cole’s paternity, it was discovered that Rick Daros, not Victor, was Cole’s biological father. This revelation allowed Cole and Victoria to continue their relationship, but they eventually divorced after Cole developed feelings for Ashley Abbott and married her.
