After Kyle’s questionable antics, fans are beginning to wonder if Claire might choose Holden over him in The Young and the Restless. Viewers are expecting a new love triangle in the upcoming episode. As every path leads to the same destination—who Claire chooses—this could be a turning point in Claire’s romantic life.

Here’s what could happen in the episode set to air on August 18, 2025.

Will Kyle lose Claire to Holden in The Young and the Restless?

Currently, Holden really likes Claire and is finding it hard to keep his feelings a secret.

No matter how hard he tries to suppress them, they only seem to grow. Kyle may be at a big disadvantage because of his shady behavior while exposing Audra. He could struggle to keep his relationship with Claire intact if she finds out about it. And if she does, she may choose Holden over him, creating a love triangle.

To make matters worse, Claire is also getting pulled into the drama between Audra and Nate. There’s a possibility she might reveal to Nate that Audra kissed Kyle, along with Audra’s involvement with Victor. But is Audra the type to take the blame? Highly unlikely. As always, Audra may try to pin it all on Kyle, making it look like he’s the one behind everything.

Meanwhile, Jack will step in to give Nate some advice about love to help him through the possible trouble. But in the end, with Holden being sincere toward Claire and Kyle’s actions surfacing, fans think Holden might be the better man for her.

The situation will also worsen for Billy, as he gets into an argument with Adam and Chelsea. They involved his name in Newman Media, which has deeply upset him.

Tune in to the new episode of The Young and the Restless to see if Claire chooses Holden over Kyle.
