When it comes to The Young and the Restless, long-lost relatives aren’t always welcomed by Genoa City residents. Case and point, Summer (Allison Lanier) loathes her new cousin Claire (Hayley Erin).
From the moment Summer found out that Claire was involved in Jordan’s (Colleen Zenk) takedown plot of the Newmans, almost killing the Newmans and destroying Nikki’s (Melody Thomas Scott) sobriety, Summer has seen Claire as an evil threat. No matter how many times Victor (Eric Braeden) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) tell Summer that Claire was a victim of Jordan’s lies and manipulation since birth, Summer doesn’t buy that Claire has miraculously reformed and turned over a new leaf.
