After filing for bankruptcy for a second time, Claire’s announced on Aug. 20 that it would be selling most of its North American business.

The fashion accessories retailer filed for bankruptcy earlier this month and was beginning to roll out store closing sales.

Claire (Hayley Erin) chose a crowded moment at Society to reveal her claim, placing Audra (Zuleyka Silver) on the defensive in front of Nate (Sean Dominic) and others. The move reframed Audra as more than a romantic rival—it tied her directly to Victor’s (Eric Braeden) long game of manipulation.

Jewelry retailer Claire's said on Wednesday it would sell its North American business to private equity firm Ames Watson for $104 million in cash, in a deal that will keep at least 795 retail locations in business.

On Thursday's episode of The Young and the Restless, Victor was in a pensive mood as he flashed back to his conversations with Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Claire and their declaration of love for each other. After he visited Claire at the tack house, he gave her the shocking news that he would no longer interfere in her romance with Kyle.

Romances gear up for a break on The Young and the Restless as new and old alliances tread towards union. While Lily and Cane find remnants of feelings for each other still persisting, Victoria may find comfort in her friendship with former lover, Nate.

The struggling chain is still alive, but its version of childhood might not be.

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal a preview clip has been released for the week of August 25, 2025! It shows Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) issuing a demand to Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor).

Victor remained unhappy about Claire’s choice of a romantic partner from the very start. His main argument was that Kyle was an Abbott and likely to fail in the relationship. He started by offering Kyle a large sum of money to walk out of Claire’s life. When the young Abbott refused him, Victor tried a nastier trick.
