Scenes from Genoa City
In the photos above, Kyle (Michael Mealor) is in the Abbott dining room, cleaning up Harrison’s school supplies from the table. Harrison (Redding Munsell) recently tried to play matchmaker with Kyle and Claire (Hayley Erin), with a little Newlywed Game thrown in. He had them answer questions to see whether they matched. He clearly wanted them to realize that they were good together and potentially reunite.
While Kyle and Claire had fun, it was also a bit awkward, considering they were no longer together. Kyle might be filling Diane (Susan Walters whose co-star recently reminded the world about the history of the Diane and Phyllis feud) in on what happened, and she will undoubtedly share her thoughts. Diane might even challenge Kyle on his feelings. Lately, he has been adamant about giving up on the notion of him and Claire. It was clear to him that she was still trying to find herself, and that includes continuing to circle around Holden (Nathan Owens).
But are Kyle and Claire truly over? Harrison’s game may have stirred up emotions. And according to the Y&R spoilers, Kyle and Claire discuss unfinished business on Thursday. So will this chat provide closure, or will they open their hearts to each other again?
