Victoria’s kids are finally home from boarding school on The Young and the Restless, and the previously unseen Katie has joined Johnny. Victoria assumed her two youngest children would be thrilled to meet their newfound big sister, Claire, but we’re not so sure that’s how this will play out.
Johnny (Paxton Mishkind) is kind of chill with it. Yawn, so what? Claire (Hayley Erin) can join his newfound brother, Connor (Judah Mackey — who we recently interviewed), on Johnny’s extended family tree. Katie (Sienna Mercuri) is less sanguine. First, Katie isn’t Mommy’s little girl anymore. Second, her new sister just recently tried to kill her entire family. So she’s been delightedly snotty. Claire thinks she’s charmed her little sister into accepting her. We’re really hoping the opposite.
Katherine Rose Abbott-Newman has quite a legacy to live up to. She is named not just after the two most formidable families in Genoa City but also after Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper), matriarch of the third most powerful family. (She’s no Dominic, who is related to everybody and will never be able to date a single person who isn’t a cousin, but still pretty close.) One of the things Kay Chancellor was known for was holding a grudge. Just ask Jill (Jess Walton). We hope Katie follows in her footsteps.
We hope Katie is merely pretending to have accepted Claire. Instead, we suspect she is plotting how to prove that her sister isn’t the sweet, innocent victim she claims to be. Sure, Katie nods her head and acts like she believes Claire was forced to do what she did by evil Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk). But how awesome would it be if she were to find a way to convince Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole (J. Eddie Peck) that Claire actually WAS in on Harrison’s (Redding Munsell) kidnapping and that Claire and Jordan are still in cahoots?
If Lucy (Lily Brooks O’Briant) refuses to lean into her genetic legacy and act the bad seed, we hope Katie will pick up the slack! Perhaps she’ll have some help from Summer (Allison Lanier).
