Could Tara be returning to The Young and the Restless? Storyline explored
There are many speculations that Tara might be returning to The Young and the Restless, especially since the main storyline of the show heavily involves her son Harrison. However, Summer and Kyle are headed toward a custody battle over him, even though Summer does not have any legal claim on the child.
Fans believe that since Tara was a devoted mother in the story, she might return to defend Harrison and claim parentage. However, the makers of the soap have provided no information on this, and these are just fan theories about the character's return.
Tara Locke was introduced on the soap in March 2021. She was initially married to Ashland Locke but had an affair with Kyle Abbott when she was in New York. She became pregnant with Kyle's child but passed him off as Ashland's baby, whom they named Harrison.
Tara later told Kyle that Harrison was his son, but wanted him to keep his distance. She said that it would affect Harrison and Ashland might become unpredictable if he found out about the affair.
However, Tara and Ashland started having more disagreements and fights. Ashland ends up manipulating the truth out of Tara and throwing her out with her son.
She later comes back to Kyle and tells him about this, and Kyle says he will claim Harrison's paternity. But Kyle's relationship with Summer started proving to be a hindrance. Tara tried to become more financially independent but ended up stealing money from her company and putting it into a separate account. After being exposed, Tara was arrested and jailed for financial fraud.
