Young and the Restless reveals Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) is at it again making a terrible choice that’s going to blow up in her face and this time, it could blow up her entire life. And of course, it’s all about Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) who for Audra, seems to be the one who got away.
We’re going to talk about how she’s going after Kyle again because she can’t back down from a challenge and it could cost Audra absolutely everything.
Young and the Restless: Holden Won’t Back Down
So recently, we saw Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) trying to get Audra to agree to seduce Kyle. That’s because Holden doesn’t want Kyle to reconcile with Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin). And that’s because Holden wants Claire for himself. Holden’s absolutely smitten and isn’t going to give up on Claire for even a moment.
But it isn’t Kyle who’s coming between Claire and Holden. We know that Claire still has feelings for Kyle. And probably still loves him and she tapped the brakes with Holden because he wouldn’t tell her the whole truth about him, Audra, and that gallery owner in LA.

But to be fair, it’s really not Claire’s business—she just wanted to destroy Audra out of spite. What’s wild to me is that Claire’s mad at Audra for her scheme to seduce Kyle that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) was paying Audra to do. But Claire’s not mad at Victor—whose idea it was and paid Audra to do it.
Claire only seems to have issues with non-Newmans being dishonest. Since Holden wouldn’t spill tea on Audra, we saw Claire broke things off with Holden. I’m sure her feelings for Kyle played a role. But I think Claire’s just salty because she didn’t get the dirt to destroy Audra.
Then, Kyle encouraged Claire to let her vendetta against Audra go. And Claire finally said she would let the thing with Audra go because Claire felt like she was becoming her crazy aunt Jordan Howard (Colleen Zenk) by being so bent on revenge.
That was a good call on Claire’s part and it’s probably a good thing she dropped her revenge plot on Audra. If not for Holden interfering and pushing Audra to go after Claire again, this whole feud could’ve just died.
Young and the Restless: Holden Convinces Audra to Seduce Kyle
But I think pretty soon Claire’s going to resume her vendetta because Audra’s going to once again target Kyle for seduction. But this time, it’s with Holden pushing Audra to do it instead of Victor. Official Y&R spoilers say the truth about what Holden and Audra did will come out soon.
And the spoiler said the fallout for Holden and Audra is going to be huge. And I think those two bring it on themselves. So, when Holden first suggested to Audra that they end Claire and Kyle’s connection for good, she wanted no part of it.
Audra said she didn’t want to set Claire off after she nearly choked her out a few months back. Audra also claimed she wanted nothing to do with Kyle because he’s a “walking ego” and Audra said Kyle makes her skin crawl.
But Holden said now that Audra has a great job, he thinks she needs a new mission and Holden suggested Audra should get revenge on Kyle. And to be fair, Audra pushed back on Holden because she doesn’t want to risk her new partnership with Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope)—especially not for Kyle.
Young and the Restless: Holden Determined to Win Claire Back
Holden didn’t let up and kept pushing Audra saying he knows she can make Kyle come crawling back and that would make her the winner. Holden also said Audra would be untouchable with an Abbott by her side if she decided to keep Kyle.
Audra was confident that she could make Kyle beg to be with her. But Audra claimed to have neither the time or interest. But then, Kyle came into Society and glared at Audra, and Holden told Audra that she and Kyle belong together and then Holden asked Audra to help them get what they both want.
Which is Holden to get Claire and Audra to get Kyle. At that point, Holden had finally convinced Audra and she was on board to go after Kyle and seduce him to be her guy. But honestly, this is really not a smart move on Audra’s part.

Audra Hasn’t Learned Her Lesson on Young and the Restless
You’d think she would’ve learned after the last time she schemed with Victor to seduce Kyle on Young and the Restless. Because that blew up in Audra’s face and she lost Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). You would really think Audra would have learned her lesson after that. But apparently not.
Claire decided to drop her revenge plot on Audra. But then, Holden got all jealous about Kyle and got Audra all worked up, making it a challenge. So, when Audra goes after Kyle, of course, that’ll send Claire into a rage and then she’ll start digging again.
And then I’m sure she’ll find out about the dead art guy and what Audra and Holden did. Plus, Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) is in town now. And since Holden accidentally killed the guy at the Shadow Room, Sienna may have some info she’s been holding back that she could give to Claire.
Especially since Sienna’s now in tight with the Newmans. So, Holden may have just shot himself in the foot because everything he wanted to stay hidden is gonna come out. As I mentioned before, official Y&R spoilers say Audra and Holden’s secret is exposed and the fallout’s massive.
Young and the Restless: Audra’s Scheme Could Cost Her Everything
This is all so needless since things are finally going great for Audra. And Holden pushed her buttons and basically convinced Audra to self-sabotage. I think seducing Kyle as a power play could wind up costing Audra her fancy new job since Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) is the financial backer.
And Sally might take a step back from Audra for her doing this awful scheme. Plus, when Claire exposes the truth, Audra and Holden could both land in legal trouble or be run out of town. And if there’s possible criminal charges, Sally would have no choice but to fire her bestie.
Remember when Audra said that she didn’t want Holden back in her life because he’s an extreme risk taker? We’ve not seen that side of him. But we’re about to and I think Audra letting Holden get close again is going to wreck her life.
