As we’ve suspected when it comes to The Young and the Restless, the new show villain Claire (Hayley Erin) is the once presumed-dead daughter of Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole Howard (J. Eddie Peck). That’s what Clarie infers anyway.
To give a brief history lesson of The Young and the Restless, in the early 90s, Victoria (then played by Heather Tom) was madly in love with Cole, and the two got married. However, her parents, especially Victor (Eric Braeden), weren’t happy about the marriage as Victor was holding the secret that he was allegedly Cole’s father from his affair with Eve Howard (Margaret Mason) years prior.
