Claire could renew her feud with Summer when her cousin returns.
Hayley Erin’s character Claire has made many enemies on The Young and the Restless. One of her first rivals was her cousin, Summer. The two were in a feud over Kyle’s heart, but their story was cut short by Summer’s departure. When and if Summer returns, Erin wants the cousins to pick up where they left off.
Claire vs. Summer: Round Two
When Claire joined the Newman family, not everyone was welcoming. Summer (Allison Lanier) showed no love to her new cousin after learning about Claire and Jordan’s (Colleen Zenk) past crimes. Although Claire worked hard to redeem herself, that wasn’t enough to sway Summer’s opinion.
Summer’s hatred toward her cousin increased when Claire began dating Summer’s ex-husband, Kyle (Michael Mealor). As Claire became a fixture in Kyle and Harrison’s (Redding Munsell) lives, Summer’s jealousy reared its ugly head.
The two women butted heads as Summer became a thorn in Claire and Kyle’s relationship. Just as their rivalry was heating up, Summer left Genoa City to tend to business in Milan. Now, many are wondering when or if Summer will return.
One person who is anxious for Summer to come back is Erin. In a recent interview with Woman’s World, the actress expressed her desire to see Claire and Summer renew their feud.
“I hope Summer comes back to town and there’s some drama there-especially because they’re cousins,” Erin explained. “Unlike Claire, Summer knows too much. That history that makes them so strong is also their downfall, because they’ve hurt each other. There’s good and bad in that bag, so it could get interesting!”
The latest mention of Summer indicated she was enjoying life in Milan and had a new man. But when Summer returns, she might be single again, which means bad news for Claire. With Summer still in love with Kyle, she’ll work her charm to win her ex-husband back. However, she’ll face stiff and dangerous competition from cousin Claire.
