As the date of his appearance draws closer, more details should be released about his character and storyline on the show.

Scott Elrod portrays Joe Clark on “The Young and the Restless.”  Currently, he is in the middle of a HUGE storyline revolving around his infatuation for Cane Ashby’s [Daniel Goddard] wife, Lily Winters [Christel Khalil]. Joe wanted to be with Lily so badly, he developed an elaborate scheme to frame Cane for extortion. It almost worked too, as Cane’s family and wife doubted his innocence. If it wasn’t for Cane’s con artist father, Collin [Tristan Rogers], Cane may have never figured out that Joe was framing him.
