The fans of Young & Restless have noticed that Cole (J. Eddie Peck) does not seem well at all, and it has been so since he returned from his business trip. Could his cough be something more sinister than a mystery ailment? Fans are worried that Cole may die soon.
Will Cole Howard die in The Young and the Restless?
A few recent developments in Young & Restless have led to speculation and fear among fans about Cole possibly dying. The first signs appeared after Cole returned from his business trip, during which he toured Newman Publishing divisions. Cole came back with a cough that does not seem to go away.
More recently, Cole suffered another coughing fit at Nikki’s birthday party just when things seemed to be going well all around, including with Claire and Kyle. Cole insisted that he was healing from his mystery ailment. But things took a turn for the worse, and he refused to get help.
Parade notes that it could seem like an ordinary cough, but the Young & Restless rarely treats things that simply. That’s why fans are worried about Cole Howard. The illness could be something like terminal lung cancer or a deadly virus. But whatever it is, it does not seem to be an ordinary cough that will simply go away on its own. Moreover, Cole’s reluctance to go to the hospital also points to the probability that he is hiding something.
All these signs combined lead down only one path, where Cole gets worse and eventually dies. The show’s creators may also use the death to steer the storyline in a certain direction. We have seen this pattern in other shows, like with Liam in Bold & Beautiful, who hid an inoperable brain mass from everyone.
Right now, things aren’t looking good for Cole Howard. As a result, the next few days could determine how the creators shape his story moving forward.
