Claire and Kyle’s relationship just started on The Young and the Restless. But there are way too many obstacles in their way. The hot new couple of Genoa City never had a chance for the following reasons.
1 – Claire’s Ties To Jordan
This is a no-brainer. Claire (Hayley Erin) was groomed by her great Aunt Claire (Colleen Zenks). She will always have that in her bloodline, no matter how much treatment she undergoes. That kind of trauma sticks with you. Also, Claire clearly inherited her aunt’s murderous ways. She was willing to kill her off. This reminds us that she’s still keeping a big secret about her aunt’s death. Once the truth comes out, this could change their relationship forever.

2 – Victor Newman
Need we say more? There’s no way that Claire can go up against Victor (Eric Braeden) even if she tried. She wants to defeat him, but she could easily fail. She’s not the ruthless Newman she might think she is. Claire has much to learn, and Victor’s a hard case to crack. He refuses to back down. Her father, Cole (J. Eddie Peck), took a while to win him over. It was a Christmas miracle. Also, it seemed like Victor thought Cole would die at the hands of Jordan. So, he probably thought in his mind, “Let me give him this olive branch.”
3 – Kyle’s Past With Summer
Kyle and Summer (Allison Lanier) are inseparable. You can’t pry ’em apart, even if you tried. This situation is even more difficult because they share a son, Harrison (Redding Munsell). Once Summer got parental rights, all bets were off. At first, Harrison was smitten with Claire. But he considers Summer as his mother. Claire’s only the nanny. And Harrison really wants his parents to get back together. He thinks they’re happier when they’re around each other… Little does he know they don’t get along these days.
