Viewers felt that Holden and Claire’s storyline was like “watching a different show.”
Claire may want to forget about what happened in Los Angeles with Holden. But fans of The Young and the Restless don’t want to. They claim their passionate love affair brought out a “different” side to the CBS soap.
Key Takeaways
Claire (Hayley Erin) made a choice in her love triangle. She ended up choosing herself. However, Y&R fans want more of Holden (Nathan Owens) and Claire’s smoldering passion.
Their trip to LA brought out a different side to both of them. Viewers also feel that it livened up the soap. It all started on a soap opera message board, where the original poster declared, “Holden and Claire give the show a totally different vibe.”
That same user continued, “It was like watching a different show.” Some other viewers agreed. One person wrote, “I like Claire with Holden. I’m hoping there’s nothing bad about Holden that they find out that can’t be resolved if he and Claire do go on with each other.”
Holden admitted that he’s still keeping a big secret from Claire. He gave her a sanitized version of what happened that night in LA with Audra (Zuleyka Silver). The truth is about to come out, and it’s not going to look good for him.
Still, fans want them to end up together. Claire and Holden deserve a chance to flourish on Y&R. Their chemistry is just too good to let go. “FIRE! Just like I knew it would be. So much heat… I love them!” someone else exclaimed. Other viewers were still in shock over the passionate scenes.
It quickly turned into a heated debate over whether Claire and Holden make a good match or not. One fan commented, “Just as I thought. She’s going from Shirley Temple to the town tramp.”
That person argued that Claire’s transition isn’t believable since she claimed to have been groomed by her Great-Aunt, Jordan (Colleen Zenk). Claire might be hiding the inner bad girl she always wanted to let out. Meanwhile, another viewer bluntly wrote, “They made me sick today.”
Surprisingly, there are also fans who feel bad for Kyle (Michael Mealor), who returned to LA to spend time with Harrison (Redding Munsell). One viewer wrote, “I do not like Claire at all after this show!! Kyle never had sex with Audra, but she went all the way with Holden — who I believe is a total player.”
Arguably, Kyle slept with Audra while he was still married to Summer (Allison Lanier). The two shared a steamy kiss in Nice while he was in a towel. Even though they were able to control themselves, he still kept that big secret from Claire.

Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow are speaking out after facing backlash due to their treatment and alleged bullying of Britani Bateman.
Following Tuesday night’s new episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
, during which Meredith, 53, was accused of being “out of her mind” on the plane ride home from their yachting adventure and taunting Britani, 54, by ranting loudly about her in first class, she and Lisa, 50, took to their X pages, where they spoke about the show.
“Once a liar always a liar,” Meredith wrote on X on November 11, immediately prompting fans to weigh in.
Following the sharing of her tweet, fans said they were “disappointed in Meredith” and wondered why she didn’t hold Lisa as accountable for her lies. They also called out her “bullying.”
“I thought of all of the ladies you would [recognize] how bullying is not ok. [Britani] didn’t deserve it at all. From the assault with having drinks and objects [thrown] at her by you to [terrorizing] her on the flight home,” one person wrote.
“Girl for someone who claims [they’re] an ‘advocate’ you sure love to bully Britani … a lot,” another agreed.
Then, after someone else called out Britani for prompting the drama by implying that Meredith’s husband,
“You went overboard. Not only touching her belongings but bullying her on the plane. You’re lucky Brit is soft. Stop mixing meds and liquor,” they wrote.
Meanwhile, on her own page, Lisa, who took Meredith’s side in her spat with Britani and seemingly egged her on, criticized someone for “trying to change [her] reality.”
“No, you’re trying to change my reality. Go back to sleep,” she shared.
And when a fan said that if it had happened, “someone would have pulled out [a] phone to record, especially production who [Heather Gay] said was also in 1st class,” she agreed.
“Exactly,” she replied.
Someone else asked Lisa, “WHY ARE YOU STILL LYING??!” They added, “You literally just admitted Meredith was out of control.”
“No, I said she was really upset more upset than I’ve ever seen her that does not mean out of control,” Lisa clarified.
Britani reacted to the episode as well, sharing a post from a fan on Instagram.
“These two middle-aged women are surely old enough — and self-declared ‘smart’ enough — to know bullying is NOT cool. What I am seeing on [
