Why the Corporate World is a Good Thing for Claire on Young and the Restless

Talk about a full-circle moment. Claire is re-entering her corporate era. She worked for Nikki Newman before, but this is different for her. In just a span of 12 months, Claire recovered from her crazy aunt’s ways. She’s making a name for herself in Genoa City. Though she IS a Newman, she wants to become her own person. The corporate world is often filled with ruthless and conniving people. However, working in the corporate world could be good for Claire. She’s going to need to toughen up a little on The Young and the Restless.

Stepping Out of Her Crazy Aunt’s Shadow

Y&R fans know Crazy Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) still haunts Genoa City. This time, Sharon (Sharon Case) is the victim. Jordan and Ian (Ray Wise) tampered with her bipolar medication. They’re also responsible for the crimes that played out in recent months.

Meanwhile, Claire (Hayley Erin) is still finding herself. She’s exploring a romantic relationship with Kyle (Michael Mealor) and starting a new job at Newman Media. Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) offered Claire a job as an assistant. This was a peace offering to put the past behind them.

Working in the corporate world would normally be a bad idea, but this could be good for her. She’s already gaining newfound confidence. Y&R viewers witnessed Claire’s Cinderella moment. She seems to be taking this new lifestyle into stride.

Working in the corporate world could change Claire for the better. She could find her inner strength. She relied on her great-aunt to guide her for much of her life. This job could teach her to stand on her own ten toes. Claire’s going to need to learn how to stand up to people.

Prepare for Battle

Fans are witnessing another shift in Claire’s attitude. She went from being groomed by her aunt to being a sweet, level-headed young woman. Now, she has a different side to her. She’s the type of woman who can see through other people’s BS.

Claire has much to contend with in her relationship with Kyle, especially his ex-wife, Summer (Allison Lanier). She was the first to blab about Claire’s new position. Claire is quickly learning Summer for who she really is. She’s going to have to play her cards right, if she wants to lock Kyle down.

Claire could use her new job to embrace her inner Newman. Viewers will likely see another personality shift in the coming months. She’s undergoing a transformation that’s more than just fancy, new clothes. Will she be more like her mother, Victoria (Amelia Heinle), or her grandfather, Victor (Erica Braeden)? It’ll be interesting to see whose genes she inherits.
