Claire may want to forget about what happened in Los Angeles with Holden. But fans of The Young and the Restless don’t want to. They claim their passionate love affair brought out a “different” side to the CBS soap.

Key Takeaways

• Claire and Holden shared a night of passion on Halloween.
• Y&R fans think their chemistry brought the soap to life.
• This brought up a heated debate on an online message board.

Too Hot To Quit

She ended up choosing herself. However, Y&R fans want more of Holden (Nathan Owens) and Claire’s smoldering passion.

Their trip to LA brought out a different side to both of them. Viewers also feel that it livened up the soap. It all started on a soap opera message board, where the original poster declared, “Holden and Claire give the show a totally different vibe.”

That same user continued, “It was like watching a different show.” Some other viewers agreed. One person wrote, “I like Claire with Holden. I’m hoping there’s nothing bad about Holden that they find out that can’t be resolved if he and Claire do go on with each other.”

Holden admitted that he’s still keeping a big secret from Claire. He gave her a sanitized version of what happened that night in LA with Audra (Zuleyka Silver). The truth is about to come out, and it’s not going to look good for him.

Still, fans want them to end up together. Their chemistry is just too good to let go. “FIRE! Just like I knew it would be. So much heat… I love them!” someone else exclaimed. Other viewers were still in shock over the passionate scenes.

Too Hot For TV?

It quickly turned into a heated debate over whether Claire and Holden make a good match or not. One fan commented, “Just as I thought. She’s going from Shirley Temple to the town tramp.”

That person argued that Claire’s transition isn’t believable since she claimed to have been groomed by her Great-Aunt, Jordan (Colleen Zenk). Claire might be hiding the inner bad girl she always wanted to let out. Meanwhile, another viewer bluntly wrote, “They made me sick today.”

Surprisingly, there are also fans who feel bad for Kyle (Michael Mealor), who returned to LA to spend time with Harrison (Redding Munsell). One viewer wrote, “I do not like Claire at all after this show!! Kyle never had sex with Audra, but she went all the way with Holden — who I believe is a total player.”

Arguably, Kyle slept with Audra while he was still married to Summer (Allison Lanier). The two shared a steamy kiss in Nice while he was in a towel. Even though they were able to control themselves, he still kept that big secret from Claire.
