Claire and Holden Have Been Getting Hot and Heavy Recently
Claire also recently told Holden that she isn’t in love with Kyle anymore, which means Kyle is back on the market. Claire and Holden have been getting hot and heavy lately.
Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) aren’t really going anywhere either. So, where does that leave Kyle and Victoria?

Well, a recent behind-the-scenes photo leak shows an “almost kiss” with Kyle, suggesting they may be headed into romantic territory.
Y&R viewers have also noticed the on-screen chemistry between Victoria and Kyle. Sure, Kyle has been criticizing Victoria for her failure to stand up to her father, Victor Newman (Eric Braden).
However, there is a thin line between love and hate, especially on soaps. Conflict often incites tension, which some fans have also observed between Kyle and Victoria.
Despite Kyle’s intense disapproval of the Newmans, he and Victoria are constantly in each other’s orbit. Perhaps this “almost kiss” could lead them to the bedroom at some point.
Not to mention, Kyle will be heartbroken when he discovers that Claire is getting closer to Holden again. He’s been holding out false hope that Claire will take him back, when she’s obviously into someone else.
The recently leaked snap was a wardrobe tag for Victoria that listed the places she would be, the characters she would interact with, and her activities.
Any Romantic Connection Between Kyle and Victoria Would Take the Newman/Abbott Feud to the Next Level
In simple terms, a wardrobe tag describes the outfits the character wears during these activities.
On the wardrobe tag, it clearly read, “an almost kiss with Kyle.” It will be interesting to see whether Kyle and Victoria pursue their attraction.

Y&R spoilers tease that the Kyle/Victoria situation would cause some soapy drama and perhaps even a rift between Victoria and Claire.
Of course, Claire will likely feel weird about anything happening between her mom and her ex-boyfriend. Claire won’t be able to handle it, and it may draw her even further toward Holden.
Also, the Newman vs. Abbott feud will heat up, likely leading to even more tension between Claire, Victoria, and Kyle, especially if a one-time incident leads to them dating.
Additionally, any romance between Victoria and Kyle would only add fuel to the fire. It would take the Newman/Abbott war to the next level, triggering a major controversy between the two families.

Since Victor is such a controlling presence in his children’s lives, he’s going to flip out if he finds out something is brewing between Victoria and Kyle.
We can only imagine how Claire would feel if a soapy, forbidden hook-up between Victoria and Kyle were to materialize. It’s going to ignite some major mother-daughter drama!
