The Young and the Restless: Summer and Claire- A Family Feud Reignited?
When Claire first entered the Newman family, she didn’t exactly receive a warm welcome, especially from Summer. The tension grew when Summer discovered Claire’s past, including her relationship with Jordan. But things got even more complicated when Claire started dating Summer’s ex-husband, Kyle.
Despite Claire’s attempts at redemption, Summer’s jealousy over Kyle’s new relationship was hard to ignore. The feud between the two cousins intensified as Summer became a constant thorn in their relationship. Just as their rivalry hit its peak, Summer left Genoa City for Milan, leaving fans wondering when, or if, she would return.

In a recent interview, Hayley Erin expressed her hopes for a dramatic reunion between Claire and Summer. “I hope Summer comes back to town and there’s some drama there—especially because they’re cousins,” Erin shared. “Unlike Claire, Summer knows too much. That history that makes them so strong is also their downfall, because they’ve hurt each other. There’s good and bad in that bag, so it could get interesting!”
As Summer’s return looms, Erin is eager to see how the cousins’ feud will evolve. If Summer does come back, fans can expect the tension to rise, especially if she’s still harboring feelings for Kyle.
In recent mentions, Summer has been enjoying her life in Milan and seems to have moved on. However, with rumors suggesting she may be single upon her return, it’s clear she hasn’t fully let go of Kyle. If she returns to Genoa City looking to reclaim her ex-husband, Claire will face some serious competition. But as always, nothing’s ever simple when family is involved.
