The Young and the Restless has been focused on Aristotle Dumas lately, but another story has caught fans’ eyes.
Ever since Cole (J. Eddie Peck) returned from his business trip of touring Newman Publishing divisions, something has been wrong. Cole has had a persistent cough since he came back to Genoa City. The cough isn’t just an ordinary cold either, because that’s not the Y&R way.

Despite him telling Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Claire (Hayley Erin) it’s nothing to worry about, Y&R fans know that it’s not true. Spoilers for The Young and the Restless reveal that things go from bad to worse for Cole, leading to troubling news for Victoria.
All signs point to Cole’s cough being a very serious illness, leading to the character’s death.
Cole was brought back in 2023 to help introduce Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and Claire. When it was discovered that Claire was Cole and Victoria's not-so-dead daughter, the exes soon reunited.
However, the romance never caught heat and has been on the back burner since it was rekindled.
Peck is a great actor, but he’s not being utilized on the show. So, killing Cole and using his death to prop up other storylines makes sense. Cole’s death would open up more storylines for Victoria, and not just romantically.
I’m really hoping we get a contagion scenario with this party thanks to the Cole virus. #yr pic.twitter.com/7RQhXLXvQf
— alexa (@alexaismyname2) June 2, 2025The rumor mill is buzzing that Cole’s tragedy will also lead to proof that Jordan lied about Claire being Cole and Victoria’s daughter. If that’s true, sacrificing Cole would definitely be worth it.
One thing is for sure: whatever’s going on with Cole on Y&R isn’t good. The writers are building to something dramatic for the character just in time for July sweeps.
Keep watching the hit CBS soap so you don't miss a second of Cole’s illness unfolding.
The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.
