- Claire receives a painful reminder of her past.
- Aunt Jordan could still be causing trouble for Claire.
Nate and Stephanie Define Their Relationship
Nate (Sean Dominic) and Stephanie (Vivica A. Fox) have kissed, danced, and taken things further by doing—you know what—in the bedroom.
They certainly can’t resist each other, and that’s understandable. After all, they’ve been spending a lot of time together, both when it comes to their medical practices and otherwise.
Now that they’ve taken things a bit further, they can’t exactly leave the “what ifs” hanging. They need to define what’s really going on between them. Are they together? Are they boyfriend and girlfriend? Are they just friends with benefits?
You know—the usual questions that come up when two people have crossed that line. Expect the duo to finally define their relationship.
So, will they actually put a label on it or decide to keep things casual?
Phyllis Is Puzzled by Matt
While Nate and Stephanie are busy figuring out what they are, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is left puzzled by Matt’s (Roger Howarth) change of heart.
Matt Clark has made a number of moves lately that have left Phyllis with more questions than answers. Still, she’s like his biggest supporter in Genoa City right now. And we’re pretty sure even a little change of heart won’t get Phyllis to back off.
After all, she rarely ever does. So, what exactly has Matt done to leave Phyllis this confused? And will she finally get some answers?
Claire Gets a Painful Reminder
Y&R spoilers for September 22 also tease that Claire (Hayley Erin) receives a painful reminder of her troubled past. Is this courtesy of her late Aunt Jordan? As seen in the latest Y&R previews for this week, a worried Victoria (Amelia Heinle) picks up on a vibe with her daughter and questions her about it.
When she asks Claire what’s wrong, Claire makes it simple: her Aunt Jordan is back—or at least, she has struck again! That is enough to put anyone on edge.
Claire has already been through plenty because of Jordan, so another reminder of her aunt could bring back some painful memories. But should Claire really be worried?
Do you think Nate and Stephanie will officially become a couple, or will they keep things casual? And should Claire really be worried about Jordan? Let us know in the comments.
