The Young and the Restless
Y&R Spoilers Victor’s Shocking Move, Claire Grace to Learn the Ropes from Former Stripper Nikki Newman!
Young and the Restless bombshell! Victor Newman shocks everyone by pairing his granddaughter Claire with former stripper Nikki for mentorship. What’s his endgame?

Creepy Claire to Train With a Stripper, Per Victor
Introduction
Just when Young & the Restless fans thought that Creepy Claire Grace was creepy enough, The Almighty Victor Newman would like her to train with a stripper. However, Victor Newman doesn’t have just any stripper in mind, he has selected his stripper alumni wife Nikki Newman to mentor his new adult granddaughter Claire.
Victor Has Counted His Chickens: Hatching Pending
Victor Newman’s ambition to take down Billy Boy Abbott (Jason Thompson) involves a number of chickens hatching at the right time across Genoa City. The first crack is that Billy Boy is letting Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) know in front of Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) in person inside their condo. After that chicken hatches, Adam Newman will have nothing holding him back from using Jill Abbott’s (Jess Walton) medical setbacks in London to bring down her son Billy on behalf of his dad Victor Newman. Up next… Victor Newman taking control of his new granddaughter Claire Grace (Hayley Erin), soon to be Claire Newman.
The Mustache Divides & Conquers, His Chickens & Pawns
Somehow it hasn’t quite sunk into Kyle Abbott’s (Michael Mealor) mind that since he took the Co-CEO position at Glissade with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), his ex-father-in-law is the boss of him in & out of work. Now Victor Newman has all but demanded that Kyle let his son Harrison’s (Redding Munsell) super-nanny Claire Grace go. Kyle Abbott attempts to politely decline but Young & the Restless fans know that Kyle declining any request of Victor Newman while he’s still working at Glissade is 110% pointless. When Creepy-Claire finally does get let go from being Harrison’s nanny, who will be her replacement? Will Y&R fans see as much of the replacement nanny as Claire?
Nikki Newman’s Personalized Continuing Ed Program
After Kyle Abbott lets Harrison’s nanny go she will be off to learn more from her grandmother Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). Per Victor Newman, Claire will be provided on-the-job training from Nikki to further her education. Has even The Great Victor Newman forgotten that his beloved on-&-off-again-wife started as a stripper? Seriously that’s where Victor & Nikki met. They met at the Bayou where Nikki was “dancing.” Has Victor Newman also forgotten that Nikki Newman does not have any business education or training besides what she has learned “on the job?”
Claire’s Future
Back when Claire Grace was planning the Newman family’s deadly demise with her Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk), she was an excellent assistant to Nikki at Newman Media. Then Claire became super-nanny. Now she’s well versed in real estate, supposedly. What at this point can Nikki Newman really teach Claire Grace… soon to be Newman on Y&R?

I may stop receiving this disrespectful take on beloved people on y&r! I have watched this soap since day one and I love these characters. Nicki was a stripper so long ago that I can’t remember the year! She has proven to be a very smart business woman! As for Claire she was raised by a Psycopath(?) ! It was not her fault. She was helped by her loving family, therapy and being given a normal job that she loves. She is intelligent and I’m sure she will succeed in whatever she does.

Love your views except the part about Nikki’s ancient history as a stripper….She’s so much more than an ex-stripper @ this point ok? She deserves a lot more credit. And besides…She was a REALLY GREAT STRIPPER obviously. 😂
