Former Young & Restless Star Daniel Goddard Says His Time on the Show ‘Amounted to Nothing'
Daniel Goddard is well-known among The Young and the Restless fans for his roles as Cane Ashby and Caleb Atkinson. Recently, the actor made a shocking revelation years after leaving the show, stating that his time there brought him nothing.
Here is everything you need to know about Goddard's latest statement regarding the popular soap opera.
Daniel Goddard, a former star of The Young and the Restless, recently began portraying Professor Henry Dalton on General Hospital. In a recent interview with Woman's World, Goddard discussed his new role and reflected on his time on The Young and the Restless. He mentioned that he had stepped away from acting but was invited to audition for the role of Jack Brennan on General Hospital. However, at the time, he was focused on his business ventures.
The 53-year-old also shared that it was difficult for him to get back to auditioning after stepping away from acting. He said, 'I had a lot of hesitation because I had a lot of fear. Fear of not being good, of failing, of letting down a fanbase.' Goddard added how 'those 12 years or so on Y&R amounted to nothing, because I was back to auditioning.'
However, Goddard managed to overpower his fear and had a great time auditioning. He shared, 'When I left, I thought, 'Geez, I missed that!' Because I hadn't auditioned in four years. I had no intention of going back to acting, but it was a moment of awakening for me.'
Daniel Goddard discussed the differences between working on both shows. He explained that in The Young and the Restless, actors receive the entire script, which allows them to see what other characters are saying about them. 'I was also always going into the writers' room to read scripts four weeks ahead, so I'd know where the character was going,' he said. On the other hand, in General Hospital, he only receives the pages that include his own character.

Honestly, I Wasn't a Watch Person Until I Tried Breda Watches
Have you ever seen one of your favorite influencers wearing a cool, vintage-inspired watch and wondered where they got it from? Like, sure, your dad has a watch that he wears everyday, but the ones I'm talking about are watches. Well, there's a good chance that it's from Breda, a design-forward, vintage-inspired watch brand started by Amir & Shabeena Meghani. Breda showed up on my radar a few years ago when I started to get into in watches as a form of jewelry and I was immediately obsessed with their interesting, sculptural designs. Their celebrity and influencer fans are numerous: Emily Ratajkowski, Demi Lovato, Raul Lopez, Sabrina Brier, Reece Feldman, and tons of other Pinterest-y fashion girlies. EmRata has been spotted multiple times wearing the Elemental version of the Jane watch, a simple oval silhouette that's one of the brand's best sellers—and honestly, I'm interested in anything that woman wears. Breda's most recent release is the Tethered collection, featuring their classic watch faces with a slim, woven band. I had been eyeing their popular Jane watch with a sky blue Mother of Pearl dial for over a year now, so I snagged it in the new Tethered style, and it's the perfect addition to the mixed gold and silver rings I wear on a daily basis. Fellow small-wristed people will appreciate that the band is completely adjustable, so no worrying about it slipping and sliding down your arm! While my exact watch sold out pretty quickly, it's still available in other colors and band styles. I'll admit that I'm newer to wearing watches, but I'm honestly eyeing the mixed metal Tethered Jane because it's such a great combo of metals to jazz up a boring work 'fit. Demi Lovato has taken to Instagram twice to post mirror selfies showing off her Breda Time Ring, a pretty stainless steel piece embedded with Austrian crystals that was made in collaboration with the jewelry brand Dalmata. Yes, it has a fully-functioning watch face, and yes, it's still in stock! There are so many other Breda styles that are incredibly chic that I couldn't just not mention—the Virgil, a classic rectangular shape that comes with a gorgeous ochre face, the Revel, which features a chic buckle design, the Coda, a more masculine silhouette, and the Sync, an androgynous, mechanical watch with a thin, flat band. I could go on and on yapping about my favorite styles, but why don't you just browse the gallery below instead? Oh, and pro styling tip: You can wear them one at a time, or take a note from your favorite fashion influencers and stack a few of them on one wrist for a maximalist bracelet moment!

‘Lotus' by Little Simz Review: The Beat of Betrayal
London rapper Simbiatu Ajikawo, who has released albums as Little Simz since 2015, is an important player in her city's fertile hip-hop and R&B scene. In her home country, the 31-year-old can fill an arena, but, like many of her peers, she's more of a cult figure in the U.S. While she's critically respected and admired by American artists—Kendrick Lamar has praised her work, and Lauryn Hill, one of her musical heroes, took her on tour—she's hasn't quite reached the mainstream. Some of that has to do with cultural barriers and lost-in-translation references. And some has to do with her more grown-up style. Across five full-length albums, including 2021's 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert,' which won the Mercury Prize for album of the year, she has generally favored what one might call a 'classic' aesthetic, with recognizable instruments playing funk and R&B riffs in the tradition of hip-hop artists who emerged in the late 1980s and early '90s. (This stands in contrast to much of the most popular youth-oriented rap of today, in both the U.S. and U.K., which tends toward electronic textures.)

Fans Slam Young Thug For ‘Dragging' Girlfriend Mariah The Scientist Away From Photographers
Social media users are raising an eyebrow over a viral video of rapper Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist's red carpet appearance at the BET Awards. The musical pair, who have been romantically linked since October 2021, blew past the red carpet at the 25th awards ceremony Monday evening. In a now-viral clip, Young Thug is seen holding Mariah's hand while guiding her past the red carpet. The 'Die Today' rapper donned a black suit and a Leatherface-esque mask that covered his face while the 'Burning Blue' singer sported a short, backless green dress. Hand-in-hand with Mariah the Scientist, Young Thug briefly paused to compliment a fellow guest who lauded the couple as they quickly hustled across the red carpet. After a photographer seemingly called out to Mariah the Scientist (real name Mariah Amani Buckles) to take a photo, Young Thug appeared to flip off someone while telling Mariah, 'We're not doing that, c'mon,' as he continued pulling her away. The R&B star was seen looking back repeatedly before following Young Thug (real name Jeffrey Lamar Williams). Social media users slammed the interaction in the comments section of the video. 'He's literally dragging her along as if people wouldn't want pictures of her too….poor poor girl,' one person wrote. Another questioned, '[The photographers] were calling her name, why didn't he want her to take pictures.' 'She got the hottest R&B song out right now. This is her moment. A man will embarrass you,' someone else wrote. Meanwhile on X, formerly Twitter, social media users further condemned the couple's awkward exchange. Young Thug was dragging Mariah The Scientist down that damn carpet like she was a dog on a leash — ← Sum'n Else 🇹🇹🇯🇲 (@CreatedToBHated) June 10, 2025 I didn't like the way Young Thug pulled Mariah away at the BET Awards. It felt like he might've taken her away from potential opportunities. This is who she's burning blue for? — Alejandra Ospina (@aospinaaaa) June 10, 2025 & anything, Young Thug didn't give Mariah enough time to have her moment on the red carpet, and I don't like that one bit. She's an artist too, not just your girlfriend. — MO' BLUES (@ROZtheCreator) June 10, 2025 The viral clip comes after the long-running YSL gang and racketeering case came to a close this week more than three years after Young Thug, rapper Gunna and others were indicted in Atlanta on gang charges.
