Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers hint that actress Hayley Erin is on the cusp of joining the soap, this fall.

With Claire’s arrival, could a new feud add to the current drama happening at Newman Enterprises?

Y&R spoilers for the fall hint that Ms. Newman will become a mentor of sorts to a new and passionate employee at Newman Media.

Will it be Claire? From the sounds of teasers, Ms. Grace will impress Nikki enough so that the Newman matriarch helps give her some tips and sets her up for success.

Still, the fact that Claire is entering Newman Media and “wowing” Nikki could cause drama. Audra Charles (Zulekya Silver) also happens to be an “up-and-coming” corporate executive within the same division, and considering the slight tension between Nikki and Ms. Charles, there could be animosity towards Ms. Grace.

Y&R Spoilers – The Kyle Abbott Factor

Then, there’s another employee at Newman Media, whose head could be turned by Claire. While he and Audra are doing the dirty, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) has always been a bit of a ladies’ man.

Plus, he and Audra aren’t exactly boyfriend and girlfriend; not to mention they were told by Nikki to either stop seeing each other or leave Newman Media.

Both decided to “break up” their romance; however, viewers know all too well that these two are still secretly sleeping with each other.

The fact that they are doing so is “thrilling” to them, and they both believe that Nikki shouldn’t be telling two grown adults whom they can and cannot date. Not to mention, meddling in her grown adult granddaughter’s romantic affairs!

However, will Claire place a wrench in Audra’s work and love life? Seems like fans could be headed toward a blonde versus brunette Newman Media rivalry, very soon.
