Curious about the newest connection in Genoa City? As Claire settles in with the Newmans on The Young and the Restless<\/span><\/strong>, her bond with Holden sparks questions about their future. Hayley Erin<\/strong> discussed how this dynamic differs from her past ties and whether trust and charm could lead to more.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what Erin revealed about Claire\u2019s friendships, Holden\u2019s influence, and the potential for deeper feelings.<\/p>\n Speaking to Soap Opera Digest<\/a>, Hayley Erin said, \u201cThis friendship with Holden is something completely different. And I think it\u2019s really confusing for Claire because she trusts him for some reason off the bat because he was really supportive to her when Kyle wasn\u2019t there, and she was really lonely and going through something really tough.\u201d She added, \u201cThe one person who was there for her was Holden. So that\u2019s kind of bonded them.\u201d<\/p>\n Erin highlighted that Claire has faced ups and downs since arriving in Genoa City, including finding an instant family in the Newmans, developing a romance with Kyle Abbott, and making both friends and enemies. \u201cTessa and Mariah are good friends, which I love, because Camryn Grimes [Mariah] is one of my best friends in real life,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd Cait Fairbanks [Tessa] is awesome to work with, and she\u2019s super-cool.\u201d<\/p>\n Holden\u2019s charm and persistence add another layer to their dynamic, as Claire has largely kept him in the friend zone. Erin recalled their first interactions: \u201cI have enjoyed their scenes together from the very beginning when we were getting the vespers at the GCAC. He would be asking her questions, and she\u2019d be kind of like, snippy with him, almost. It was like showing this other side of her.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe noted Holden \u2018seems like a questionable character,\u2019 but added that Claire feels \u2018justified in her friendship with him.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Reflecting on Claire\u2019s growth, Erin added, \u201cShe\u2019s almost compensating for it sometimes, being extra forgiving or being kind of lighthearted or positive\u2026 almost toxic positivity. And when it came to Holden, there was no expectation there. So she was able to just speak to him very straight from the get-go. So I think she\u2019s kind of been a little bit, maybe more herself around him. It\u2019s interesting. I\u2019m really excited to see how it develops.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Young & Restless\u2019 Hayley Erin on if Claire & Holden Will Become a Couple<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Curious about the newest connection in Genoa City?
