Claire Grace, Aunt Jordan and the Newman Family Poisoning

Who is Claire Newman on Y&R—and why do fans still remember Claire Grace as a villain?

This Y&R retro recap looks back at Claire Grace’s history on The Young and the Restless, from Nikki Newman’s seemingly perfect assistant to Aunt Jordan’s secret accomplice.

We’ll revisit Claire kidnapping and drugging Nikki, the syringe attack, Aunt Jordan forcing Nikki into a relapse, and the poisoned Newman family reunion at the Oregon lake house.

We’ll also look at the shocking reveal that Claire Grace was really Eve Nicole Howard—Victoria Newman and Cole Howard’s long-lost daughter—and how she went from trying to destroy the Newmans to becoming Claire Newman.

Was Claire truly brainwashed by Aunt Jordan?

Is sweet, proper Claire Newman really reformed—or could the dangerous Claire Grace reemerge someday?
