Y&R Spoilers: Aristotle Dumas’s Identity is Revealed, And it’s a Reveal You Weren’t Expecting
On The Young and the Restless, Aristotle Dumas has remained a mystery for years, but the Count of Genoa City is getting closer to being revealed.
The Young and the Restless’ Aristotle Dumas
By the end of 2024, fans of The Young and the Restless had one name on their mind: Aristotle Dumas. The character that has yet to be introduced is the one most people are interested in meeting. But viewers aren’t the only ones who want to know the real identity of the mysterious business tycoon. Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) is hot on his — or her — trail.
Aristotle Dumas got on Lily’s radar when Damian King (Jermaine Rivers) and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) came to Genoa City. Lily’s cousin, Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic), had invited Damian under false pretenses, but Damian had some deceptions of his own. Because of that, Lily has been suspicious of Damian, and her fears weren’t squashed when she enlisted the help of Victor Newman (Eric Braeden).
Victor did a background check on Damian and discovered that he was not who he claimed. He did not own the two companies that he claimed, Danglar Properties and Monte Cristo Holdings. Instead, they were owned by Aristotle, and Damian pretended to be the owner at the request of his boss.
Victor further fueled Lily’s suspicions when he said that Aristotle had done a check on Lily’s family business, and assumed that it meant Dumas was plotting a takeover of Winters. Damian claimed no knowledge of that scenario, but Lily wanted to find out for herself and has asked him to arrange a meeting between her and his boss.
Damian has admitted that he has never met his boss in person; they’ve only ever communicated via text or email. He also suggested to that the man he’s spoken to on the phone could be someone with a role like his own — that he pretends to be someone he’s not on behalf of the boss. The man that Damian has spoken to, may never have been Aristotle at all.
Lily meets Aristotle on The Young and the Restless
There is a very strong possibility that when (and if) Lily does indeed sit down with who she thinks is Aristotle Dumas, once again, she is meeting an alias to find out what she wants — or because if the real Aristotle Dumas showed up, she would be in shock.
With the upcoming cast addition of Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives), we suspect that he will be involved. But let’s not forget the biggest, most obvious clue of Aristotle Dumas: He loves classic literature.
The Count of Monte Cristo seems to be a favorite of the billionaire, but there is someone related to Lily who has been known to link herself to legendary tales, especially one in particular with themes similar to The Count of Monte Cristo, like sacrifice and social justice.
Damian already confirmed that Aristotle Dumas doesn’t exist; it’s a pseudonym for the real business person. It seems most likely that Dumas would have a representative make his calls, and why would anyone do that unless they didn’t want anyone to know they were either female or have their voice recognized
We have a new suspect for the real identity of Aristotle Dumas, folks. Close your eyes if you don’t want to know, but we suspect the brilliant tycoon to be:
Abby Newman-Hamilton (Melissa Ordway). She has the money, she has the inside information, she would delight in beating Victor in a business deal, and she could be using the Winters takeover rumor as a decoy. Time will tell if we got this one right, but there are some valid reasons why it could be her. Oh, and the literary connection? Lady Godiva, of course. Tell us your thoughts below!
