The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Will Claire’s Feelings for Holden Intensify After the Paternity Revelation?

The Young and the Restless updates and spoilers indicate that Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) might be attracted to Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) once the truth about his real paternity is revealed.

Being a ‘Winters’ could completely alter Claire and Holden’s relationship, so let’s explore all the potential outcomes!

Malcolm And Stephanie Made Exciting Returns

Both Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) and Dr. Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) made exciting returns to Genoa City during the Tuesday, April 7 episode: both returning to the town to reveal some shocking secrets.

Malcolm is facing a rare illness called aplastic anemia. He had an emotional talk with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) at the Neil Winters Jazz Lounge, asking her to get tested because he needs a bone marrow donation that can only come from a family member.

Since Lily is Malcolm’s biological daughter, one would assume she could be a suitable match; however, it seems there’s a significant twist in this plot.

Stephanie revealed two surprising truths upon her return, the first being that she is Holden’s mother.

Crazy Coincidence

What a small world it is that Holden ended up in the same town where she once spent time, right?

That being said, another surprising fact about Stephanie is that she wanted to discuss Holden’s biological father with him, which suggests that Malcolm is likely Holden’s dad since Stephanie and Malcolm were involved in the 1990s.

It seems clear that in the end, Lily may not be a suitable match for Malcolm’s bone marrow transplant, but Holden probably will be. In the meantime, Holden still has strong feelings for Claire and is holding onto the hope of winning her back.

Holden And Claire Weren’t An Official Couple

The two weren’t an official couple, but they did share a romantic connection and spent intimate moments together while in Los Angeles.

Sadly, Claire ended the relationship suddenly because she felt she couldn’t trust Holden. There was something off about him, particularly his story regarding the art gallery owner that he mentioned to Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver).

Claire wanted to know the complete truth, but Holden hesitated, leading Claire to walk away from their relationship.

Nevertheless, they are not on bad terms, and as the week of April 6-10 unfolds, Claire will discover a different side of Holden.

Claire Seems Attracted To Holden

It seems she might be attracted to him for some reason-maybe Claire notices how he interacts with his mom and sees his gentle side with Stephanie.

Alternatively, she might see him vulnerable after finding out Malcolm is his father.

This could create an opportunity for Claire regarding Holden, possibly lowering her defenses enough for him to come back into her life.

Just think about how surprised Claire will be when Holden sets everything aside to donate his bone marrow to Malcolm.

Even though Malcolm is his father, Holden hardly knows him, and the surgery and recovery will take time-will Claire support Holden through this?
