Sheila Carter is alive but who did Steffy Forrester Kill that night?
Hayley Erin’s latest Y&R avatar Claire Grace is more than what meets the eye
Claire Grace made quite an entry starting right from Newman Enterprises. So what’s her story? We all know, no one in GC comes without a dark past, right? Plus, with her connection to Tucker McCall, it’s giving some serious shady vibes. So, today we have a couple of theories on who she might actually be. Let’s get into it right away.
Y&R plot twist no one saw coming: Who is Claire Grace actually?
Hayley Erin, who used to play as ex Abby Newman, rejoined the cast of The Young and the Restless with a brand new character, Claire Grace, from October 2. From the moment the fans saw her, they knew something was up with her. She had her first scenes with Nikki and Audra, and while her vibe seemed all smiley, there was definitely something in the air that got viewers suspicious.
During her interview at Newman, Nikki asked Claire why she was interested in working there and she talked a lot about her interest in how McCall Unlimited would fit into Newman Media, which was very weird. Maybe Claire’s got a secret passion for corporate mergers, but we’re thinking it’s more complicated than that.
So, here’s what most of the fans think. There are two possibilities here. First, Claire could be a not-so-subtle mole. Audra seemed pretty eager to seal the deal with Claire during the interview. Is she connected to Tucker and Audra in some way? Maybe McCall Unlimited sent her to keep tabs on their newly minted enemy, Adam. But that doesn’t quite fit the timeline since McCall only recently learned about Adam’s dirt-dishing on the Abbotts.
Now, let’s consider option two. Maybe Claire’s got a beef with Tucker McCall, and that’s why she’s so nosy about his company. Maybe she’s an angry former employee or even a secret offspring of Tucker’s. Could there be some hidden vendetta here? Some fans are even speculating that Tucker might have had a hand in her parents’ car crash. One wrote, “So Claire parents died in a car accident !! If i remember Tucker was involve in a accident that why he went in montain to get well and claire knows Audra was working with Tucker !! She seems to know a little about Audra and Tucker !! Or i am in too nothing.”

Now, during her chat with Audra and Nikki, when Claire shared her life story, some of us couldn’t help but think it was a bit too convenient. Dead parents? Classic soap moves for hiding something big. And her last name is Grace which got our minds racing.

Claire Grace has a secret vendetta against the Newmans?
Claire’s last name is Grace, the same as Grace Turner, who happened to be Sharon’s BFF. Grace had a little thing with none other than Nick Newman. Coincidence? Probably not. This could be her motive for getting into the Newman family and business. In fact, Grace was also involved with crazy Cameron Kirsten. Now, isn’t it weird that Claire showed up in town with this name right after Cameron’s death? We don’t think so.
What if Claire Grace is the vengeful daughter of Cameron and Grace? She could be out for revenge against the Newmans, blaming them for her father’s death. But then again, it would make more sense for her to be aiming for a job at Kirsten Incorporated, which she might see as her rightful inheritance “stolen” by Sharon. It’s a far-out theory, but in soapland, anything’s fair game.
Now, not everyone’s ready to jump on the suspicious train. Some are hoping Claire and Adam will hit it off. With Sally and Nick’s relationship hitting rocky shores, a new romantic twist could be in the cards. So, is Claire hiding something big? What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below.
