In 2011, Francis played the memorable Genevieve Atkinson on “The Young and the Restless.”
Cane came to Genoa City posing as the deceased Phillip Chancellor III.
Cane was surprised when Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) introduced him to her new boyfriend, Colin.

Cane married Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and soon told her about his sketchy past.
He had befriended the real Phillip who helped him escape from Australia to hide in Genoa City.
Upon hearing this, Lily broke things off with Cane.

Genevieve soon arrived in town seeking revenge.
Genevieve revealed that years ago, Caleb tried shooting Cane, and accidentally killed Samantha.
She pushed him, over a balcony and he ended up in the hospital.

Cane rescued the children before the plane they were on exploded, and Colin was granted diplomatic immunity.
Jill and Colin continued their romance, and Jack and Genevieve started seeing each other as well.
Genevieve later locked Colin in a wine cellar, and drained all of his money from various accounts.
Luckily, Cane arrived just in the nick of time to get her out before the building exploded.
Patty was later captured and sent to a mental institution.
Genevieve tried to apologize to Jack, but he was done with her.
Cane and Lily announced they were getting married again, but made it clear that Genevieve wasn’t invited.
They got married in France, with Genevieve watching from a hiding spot.
Things got weirder as pictures of her children as kids were sent to her.
Genevieve followed clues that led her to the hotel room of a woman named Shirl Claud.
There, she found the room ransacked with blood everywhere.
