The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) might swap out whiney Kyle Abbott (MIchael Mealor) for Holden Noavak (Nathan Owens). Claire is furious with Audra Charles’ (Zuleyka Silver) scheme to end her relationship with Kyle.
At some point, it could become too much for Claire to bear and she could seek comfort in another man. If Claire grows closer to anyone, it would likely be Holden.
Last month, Holden shared with Claire that he lost his father when he was younger. He explained the emptiness it caused, offering to be a listening ear anytime, day or night. Claire seemed receptive to his kindness, even accepting a lunch invite to talk about her dad, Cole Howard (J Eddie Peck).
Audra Pushes All Of Claire’s Buttons
While Claire trusts Kyle, there is a part of her that believes Audra’s story. She knows Kyle and Audra had a thing before, so it isn’t a stretch to think they could have hit the sheets. Claire doesn’t want to believe that Kyle betrayed her in that way, but the doubt drives her crazy.
It certainly didn’t help matter when Claire witnessed Kyle and Audra in a hot liplock in the middle of Society. It sent her over the edge, visually confirming her worst fears.
Now, Claire realizes that Kyle probably has unresolved feelings for Audra. She also knows that Audra is trying to get under her skin. Then there is the little detail Kyle told Claire about Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) hiring Audra to ruin their relationship. That little tidbit was enough to send Claire over the edge.
Will Claire Turn To Holden?
The Young and the Restless viewers may remember that Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) gave Holden orders to get closer to Claire, Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes), Adam Newamn (Mark Grossman), and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan). He took this role seriously with Claire, wasting no time in befriending the naive young woman.
Holden broke the ice with Claire by sharing his own grief when he lost his father years earlier. He offered her a listening ear from someone who had been through something similar. It was enough to gain trust from Claire, at least enough trust to talk openly about her dad and the profound loss.
The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Claire will grow closer to Holden as her relationship with Kyle quickly turns sour with Audra and Victor’s meddling.
