Audra Charles SLAPPED Claire Newman and Instantly Regretted It
Society restaurant became a full-on battleground when Audra Charles decided to pick the WRONG fight. Claire Newman was minding her business, talking to Holden Novak about his mysterious past with Audra, when Miss Charles herself stormed over and started hurling insults.
Audra called Claire “Auntie’s Evil Sidekick” and mocked her for digging into her past. She even took a shot at Claire’s money, suggesting Holden only likes her for her “fat bank account.” But Claire Newman didn’t come to play—she fired back that Audra is MISERABLE with no life, no work, and no romance. Not Nate. Not Holden. NOBODY wants her.
And that’s when Audra wound up and slapped Claire across the face. HARD.

Claire Newman Channeled Her Inner Jordan and CHOKED Audra
Here’s where things went from messy to TERRIFYING. When Holden held Claire back from retaliating, Audra smugly announced the slap was “just a test” to see if Holden would fly to Claire’s rescue.
Bad move, Audra. BAD move.
Claire Newman broke free from Holden’s grip, wrapped her hands around Audra’s throat, and hissed, “Is this what you want?” Holden had to physically separate them while Audra gasped for air. Claire then delivered an ice-cold warning: “That was just a test. Stay away from me, or I’ll shut you up for good.”
The way Claire Newman went from composed to homicidal in 2.5 seconds? Jordan would be SO proud! Audra told Holden that Claire isn’t just a bitch—she’s HOMICIDAL. And honestly? After watching Claire’s hands around her throat, we’re inclined to agree!
Kyle Abbott and Claire Newman Are Teaming Up to DESTROY Audra
After Claire stormed out with Kyle Abbott, these two settled into a table and started PLOTTING. Claire is done playing nice. She knows Audra has secrets buried in Los Angeles, and she’s determined to dig them up and bury Audra with them.
Kyle’s response? “I’m in… 100%!”
These two raised their glasses and toasted to Audra’s destruction. Whatever Holden and Audra are hiding about their past in LA, Claire Newman is about to expose ALL of it. And with Kyle Abbott as her partner in crime, Audra Charles should be very, VERY afraid.
Nikki Newman Betrays Victor to Protect Jack Abbott
While Claire was busy catching assault charges at Society, Nikki Newman was making moves of her own at the GCAC. She ADMITTED to Jack Abbott that Victor has Cane Ashby’s stolen AI software—and then offered to help protect Jabot from her own husband’s attack!
Jack revealed that he’s planning to shut down Jabot temporarily to prevent Victor from sucking the company dry. Nikki was shocked but promised to try to get her hands on the AI and stop Victor from using it. When Diane Jenkins Abbott arrived and learned Jack told Nikki about their secret plan, she was NOT happy. She called Jack’s friendship with Nikki “perverse” given that she’s married to his worst enemy.
But Jack is betting that Victor won’t want to upset Nikki—and that might be the only thing standing between Jabot and total destruction.
