The Young and the Restless: When Will Tara Return to Claim Harrison from Summer?
Y&R fans are buzzing about the notable absence of Harrison Abbott’s biological mother Tara Locke from the canvas. Could she return to shake up Kyle, Claire and Summer’s lives?

The Young and the Restless: When Will Tara Return to Challenge Kyle’s Life with Harrison?
As Kyle Abbott moves forward in his new relationship with Claire Grace and settles into a new home with Harrison, one question remains – when will Harrison’s biological mother Tara Locke return? Since her imprisonment for embezzlement, Harrison has been raised by Kyle, with both Summer Newman and more recently Claire playing important roles in his life.
A Puzzling Prison Sentence
Though Tara was arrested for embezzlement, her continued absence raises questions. While financial crimes can carry significant sentences, Genoa City has a history of showing leniency toward far more serious offenses. Victor Newman and Ian Ward have both served relatively short sentences for more serious crimes, yet Tara remains conspicuously absent from her son’s life.
Perfect Storm Brewing
With Kyle and Claire’s relationship deepening after her transition from Harrison’s nanny to a career at Newman Enterprises, and Kyle’s recent divorce from Summer, the timing seems perfect for Tara’s return. Summer has vocally opposed Claire spending time with Harrison, creating tension in an already complex situation.
A Dramatic Return Waiting to Happen
While Kyle builds his new life with Claire and Harrison, any return by Tara would dramatically complicate the family dynamics. The power struggle between Kyle’s ex-wife Summer, his current girlfriend Claire, and a potentially returning Tara could create unprecedented drama. Would Tara seek to reclaim her place in Harrison’s life? How would Summer react to the return of Harrison’s biological mother?
For now, Harrison remains unaware of these potential complications to his family structure. But in Genoa City, absent parents have a way of resurfacing at the most dramatically opportune moments – especially when new relationships are blooming and family dynamics are shifting.
