The Young and the Restless, one of the long-running soap operas on CBS, has a medley of characters with their journey from birth to adulthood presented in the storyline. Many times, more than one actor is needed to play one character. However, some actors have appeared in the same show, playing more than one character. Hayley Erin is one such actor who played a teenage Abby Newman in The Young and the Restless before moving out and later rejoining as Claire Grace.
Hayley Erin's Claire Grace is the daughter of Victoria Newman and Cole Howard, who was known to have died after birth. However, Claire was part of a conspiracy woven by Jordan to avenge her sister Eve's death, in which she wrongly considered the Newmans responsible. Hayley's performance gave an eerie effect to the efficient assistant-turned-villain image of Claire. She is again playing the character as a repentant and loving young adult on The Young and the Restless.
