Hayley Erin Returns to The Young and the Restless in Brand New Role
Hayley Erin last seen on the soaps as Kiki Jerome on General Hospital, and who previously played Abby Newman on The Young and the Restless, is returning to the CBS daytime drama series, but in a brand new role!
The Daytime Emmy-winning actress is set to take on the role of Claire Grace. According to Soap Opera Digest, “Look for Claire to join the ranks of Newman Media later this fall.”
Since departing daytime, Erin had been a series regular on Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, as had lead and supporting roles in independent feature films.
The actress was on GH from 2015-2019 and during that time, Erin won a Daytime Emmy in the Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series category back in 2019.
Hayley played Genoa City’s Abby from 2008-2010. The role of Abby is currently played by Melissa Ordway.
So, who do you think Claire will become involved with after she joins Newman Media? Excited to see Hayley debut in her new Y&R role? Comment below.
I would say Geeze I wish she was coming back as Abby but then she would be stuck with acting with that guy who is like a wooden doll
She played teenager Abby from December 2008 to April 2010, so, it was not even one year and a half. Melissa Ordway is perfectly fine as Abby. Hayley Erin will be working at Newman Media, so, Nikki Newman will be her boss.
Who would that be ? Because Devon is a great subtle actor. You mean Chance right ? G
He’s one of the worst on the show. He has zero pizazz and is mechanical in the delivery of all his lines. Who wouldn’t be bubbly & flirty with sexy Melissa Ordway? Only him. He’d not be missed if he were fired from that show.
And not they are trying to pair him with Sharon. REALLY.. no way. I dont care for her but she would chew him up and spit him out. Come on now. Then I though they were going to put him with Summer ( she is another boring one ) pouty all the time little rich girl. To have her fight Sharon over him would be kind of fun though
I think that is who she is speaking of Chance has no personality. He never smiles he looks like he always mirrsiable. Put her with Kyle Newman. Let her , Summer and the other nobody black haired girl fight over him since he thinks his POOP dont stink.
Definitely Devon. Not Chance. Chance has come along way since he started partly because in the beginning he was stuck with Abby the drag. Since he’s been paired with Sharon he’s been shining. Love him and Sharon
Isn’t Sharon’s character older than Chance?
And?!
Why is it ok for Jack , Nick and Victor to go after anything that has legs avd often much younger but not a female character?! Wtb is also always beautiful and looks amazing for her ‘ age’like Sharon Case?! Is this 1950?!
Sharon and Chance are hot together and both deserve new partners that they have chemistry with!
I agree with you. I personally think Bryson is one of the best actors on the show or soaps period. As a black male myself I think he comes across as genuine in his delivery and actions.. His character talks, acts and reacts exactly as I do.
Stephen, I guess we are of the few who like this actor. I think he’s very believable in his part no matter who he’s acting with. He’s handsome and talented and not full of himself, playing a young, single multi-millionare. He grew up from a young boy into this role and he’s not only grown in age but emotionally.
” wooden doll”? Lmbo
Thank the stars, somebody that feels the same
He’s awful. Zero chemistry with Melissa and so mechanical with the delivery all of his lines.
Agree that he’s awful & needs to be replaced pronto!
I love the Abby she is doing a great job
Agreed! Both Devon, Bryton and Abby, Melissa are horrible. With everything on tv why would I watch a scene of them together?! It’s like sleepy and zombie living in the Chancellor mansion. What a sad representation of the legendary home that Katherine Chancellor, Phillip, Jill,Rex and Nina once lived in. Such excitement!!! 20 years later we get Devon and Abby in the same living room?! Pity. At least keep them at the gcac or Crimson lights where I can change the channel once they come on! Travesty they still are on the show.
I think Devon and Abby are good together. They represent, what parenthood is all about. So why is there a problem with the two? After all it’s grandmother’s house. Love it!
Me too!
I agree.
Oh my gosh my exact thoughts they should have gotten rid of him long ago him and Audra need to go on a permanent vacation
Wat do you mean a wooden. Doll
What’s that about lost so much of my soap 5 months been so so
WOW! Shame on GH for not getting Erin Hayley in a new role. If she were older, I could see her as Lulu (Recast). I don’t watch Y&R… but wish she was back at General Hospital. Love Erin.
Best wishes to Erin.
Hayley grew into a fine actress during her time on GH. If she were to come back, she would totally fit in as Serena Baldwin.
Without Scotty on the scene… I think the return of Serena would not be worth it.
I’m wondering who is the nu-LULU. I sure hope it is not Emme Rylan!
Kin will eventually be back. No way they’re doing a Bobbie tribute without him.
In agreement on Lulu not being ER, but they did show a photo on Maxie’s office credenza of her & Emme, likely indicating Lulu won’t be waking up soon.
nüLulu should be Marci Miller.
Well that would be interesting having both of the “musical chair Abigails” from DOOL on GH at the same time. But I don’t see that happening. Especially since she wouldn’t commit to Days because she wanted to keep having kids. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself but it makes it hard to write a storyline.
Speaking of Marci Miller, they’ve done such a good job with her character , that I’m not liking her now. Abby who??
Nah. Lily Anne Harrison, who presently plays Andrea Gates, would have been the perfect Serena Baldwin in the same story Andrea is getting.
I have absolutely no memory of her as Abby Newman.
Me either?
Me either
she’ll have a go-round with kyle!
I’m bored with Kyle…. Turned into a different person.
He’s been whipped so much by Audra, his brains are scrambled.
Yep
Kyle is her cousin people
I love when soaps bring people back in different roles it’s like rep theater or something very neat
I remember her as Abby so idk this might be odd but just maybe her & Adam will be the next couple.
She was one of my favorites on GH & an outstanding actress. I was very disappointed when they killed off her character eliminating any future return. (And it seemed too cruel a step for Ava to endure.)
I’m delighted that I’ll get to see her on Y&R. Maybe she’ll have chemistry with Noah? Or maybe Chance, although I’d like to see him with Summer. He does not work with Sharon at all. Billy should be back with Lily as their new pairings fell flat & they were so believable together.
I can’t figure out why Chance’s role is always limited and not around a lot. I like him w/ Summer
That’s what I thought him and summer where going to be an item
That’s would be great
Sharon and Nick need to be together. Kyle needs a kick in the ass.
Oh let me be the one to give him a swift kick
I adore Erin, and yes to her being paired up with Chance since he seems to be floating around GC with no actual purpose these days. He doesn’t even live in the Chancellor mansion.
And yes, the Sharon pairing was actually rather hot, but only for a moment of getting under the sheets with no feasible future.
And I agree that Billy and Lily should reunite. Their chat in the coffee house was quite genuine. But there is the fact that Billy keeps getting paired with women who are pregnant in real life. Christel is pregnant and will shortly be going on maternity leave, while Melissa Claire is currently on maternity leave.
Camryn Grimes is also preggers (no Billy connection) but lots of babies happening with the cast of Y and R. I hope they have nice accommodations for lactating new moms and options for the cast to bring their little ones to set with them once they return to work.
Agree
I hate Y&R! I wish she would come back to GH instead.
I am so excited to see her back on daytime… Glad Melissa is staying as Abby… She would be great for Chance… Can’t wait for her to join. I hated when they killed her off on GH!
I liked her time as Abby… a bit green, but still decent. She grew a lot as Kiki on General Hospital, so I have a feeling this will be good. However, The Young and the Restless is an absolute mess.
Adam new playmate what you think
Yes, only if she is a nice person! Adam needs a brake! He deserves some respect from the Newmans & someone that will ❤️ him & understands him!
I’m disliking the Newmans more and more. They’ve treated Adam like crap from the beginning. They talk about him being entitled – seriously?
Excited for her return to Daytime TV.
Is she the one that played the Naked Princess?
Well if she will be working at Newman Media, probably be some new play thing for Kyle.
I would love to c summer with chance..Need to c more of them . Would love to c another girl with Adam eye….
I don’t know what roll she would play but I think Kyle will zero in on her. His heart is broken but he’s becoming kind of cold and Audra needs to find a new job in a new ds atown, off the show
Never felt a connection between Abby and Devon. Seemed like they were better as friends than lovers.
She will definitely go for Kyle good luck with him .He can’t forgive but has been forgiven by Summer . If it were turned around she would forgive him .Just don’t put Kyle back with Summer.She needs a man not a boy !
I think maybe pair her with nick or Adam if Sally goes back to Adam than Nick should be paired with her honestly you need to new blood n bring on maybe Thomas Forrester n pair him with Summer Newman I think the cross over would be exciting n Kyle just makes me sick to even watch him
Looks nothing like the Ki Ki I remember from GH and as Abby, was she the ” naked heiress” because I don’t remember anyone that looked like her on Y&R.
I can’t understand anything Claire says! S h e us a terrible speaker. Why have they hired her? She talks too fast and doesn’t pronounce her words. It’s like she can’t move her mouth and use her tongue. I miss her part of the conversation every time. Get rid of her and hire someone who can speak clearly!
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
