The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Claire Grace (Hayley Erin) has gone to great lengths to plot against Nikki Newman (Melody Scott Thomas) and her loved ones. The Newmans are at the center of a shocking scheme, which is obviously based on some old vendettas.
However, the show’s also been careful to make Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) the true mastermind of all this.
Claire is a grown woman and easily could’ve flown solo on her own twisted plan, but Y&R created an evil boss lady to be behind it all instead.
That keeps Claire’s hands a tad cleaner and will make it much easier to redeem her when the time comes.
The guilt that’s creeping in for Claire may be a huge giveaway that she’s headed for redemption while Aunt Jordan pays the price for all the terror.
If Claire is the long-lost daughter of Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck) like the latest hints suggest, then that offers a motive to redeem her as well.
If Claire’s got Newman blood, then she’s far more important than she initially seemed.
Victoria will surely want to form a relationship with her child if at all possible.
It might take a long time to build trust on both sides, but Victoria and Claire might eventually be willing to try.
That could create some tension with Nikki along with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).
It’d be interesting if Victoria had to stand against her loved ones and fight for Claire’s place in the family.
That might even be a way for Victoria and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) to find some common ground.
Adam knows a thing or two about being a Newman outsider, so he could perhaps be more welcoming to Claire than the others.
Regardless, Aunt Jordan is getting ready to take the lead on the lake house mayhem in Oregon.
Once Jordan reveals why Claire helped her carry out this payback plot, fans may have more sympathy for Claire and her pain.
Of course, nothing justifies the nightmare Nikki’s going through or what the other Newmans are about to face once they arrive at the lake house.
That said, Claire should get a sympathetic story and will probably battle regrets once she hears other versions of events.
Claire may wiggle out of criminal charges with Victoria’s help and get a fresh start down the road.
Do you think Claire will be redeemed? Should Claire get a chance to find love and forgiveness in Genoa City?
