Young & Resless’ Audra Goes Scorched Earth On Genoa City… But Will *She* Be the One Who Gets Burned?

Young & Restles’ Audra is down, but she’s not out. Though Victor severed his ties with the businesswoman he’d retained to drive a wedge between granddaughter Claire and her beau Kyle, the schemer remains determined to make it in the big-business hub that is Genoa City, Wis. How? Apparently by continuing her mission to break up Claire and Kyle — see photo above — despite the fact that she’s the one who’ll really end up being burned.

What Is Audra’s Plan?

When Victor grumpily pink-slipped Audra, she didn’t point out how gross it was that he’d pimped her out in the first place, she pleaded for more time to accomplish the goal he’d set for her. The week of August 11, perhaps hoping that Victor will change his mind and bankroll Vibrante after all, she goes so far as to plant a kiss on Kyle in public.

On one hand, the bold move is sure to upset the hell out of Claire. But on the other, Audra’s gotta figure that Nate’s going to hear about it. Is she really willing to risk their relationship for the sake of a stake in the cosmetics wars? Her boyfriend is sure to dump her. And she has no guarantee that if Claire gives Kyle the heave-ho, Victor will open his wallet.
