KYLE ABBOTT INTERROGATES SIENNA BACALL ABOUT HOLDEN NOVAK AND AUDRA CHARLES—BUT HIS STALKER BEHAVIOR WILL BACKFIRE SPECTACULARLY!
TL;DR: Kyle Abbott is in Los Angeles playing detective and interrogating nightclub owner Sienna Bacall to get dirt on BOTH his ex-girlfriend’s new friend Holden Novak AND his own ex-affair partner Audra Charles. What a messy line of questioning! Claire Newman dumped him, moved on, and explicitly told him to back off, but Kyle’s solution? Stalk her while she’s on vacation and dig for scandal. This plan has spectacular backfire written all over it.
The Backstory: How Kyle Became Port Charles’ Most Pathetic Stalker
Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) needs to understand something fundamental: when your girlfriend breaks up with you, following her to another city is NOT the romantic gesture you think it is. It’s CREEPY.
Let’s recap how we got here. Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) broke up with Kyle in late September after he tried to “fix” their trust issues with a marriage proposal instead of, you know, actually being HONEST. Thankfully, Claire, who spent her entire life being manipulated by psychotic great-aunt Jordan Howard, realized she was jumping from one controlling relationship into another.
So she did the healthy thing: she dumped him, called Holden Novak (Nathan Owens), and planned a Los Angeles trip to experience LIFE and make her own choices for once.
Kyle’s response? Pure psycho behavior! “If I can’t have her, I’ll sabotage anyone she DOES want!” He literally flew to LA to spy on Claire and Holden’s vacation, convinced himself he’s “protecting” her, and is now interrogating strangers for ammunition.
Dude. GO. HOME.
The Audra Obsession That Won’t Die
Here’s what makes Kyle’s LA mission so spectacularly hypocritical: he’s desperately trying to find dirt on Holden while STILL being obsessed with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver)—the woman he cheated with!
Claire dumped Kyle partially BECAUSE of his Audra fixation. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) paid Audra $5 MILLION to seduce Kyle and break up his relationship with Claire. They kissed on a train in France. Kyle lied about it. Claire found out and was devastated.
Even after the breakup, Kyle can’t stop talking about Audra, thinking about Audra, and now, specifically asking Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) for dirt on Audra when he can’t get what he wants about Holden!
Kyle told Claire he was “befriending” Audra to get intel on her cosmetics company. Claire reluctantly agreed but clearly hated the idea. When she broke up with him, Kyle accused her of being “hypocritical about Holden considering what happened with Audra.”
Sir. YOU are the one who can’t let Audra go. YOU are the one who kissed her on that train. YOU are the one who keeps inserting yourself into her orbit despite everyone—Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters), Claire herself—warning you to stay away.
And now you’re in LA interrogating Sienna about BOTH Holden and Audra? This isn’t about protecting Claire. This is about Kyle’s ego being unable to handle rejection from EITHER woman.
Sienna Bacall: The Key to Everything (Or Kyle’s Next Dead End)
Emmy-winner Tamara Braun debuted as Sienna Bacall on October 14 as a Hollywood nightclub owner with connections to basically everyone in this mess. She knows Holden. She knows Audra (and has “bad blood” with her from their LA nightclub days). She’s connected to Noah Newman’s (Lucas Adams) attempted murder investigation. And her mysterious husband Mitch Bacall (possibly Roger Howarth’s new character) keeps calling her about things she “needs to know.”
Kyle corners Sienna on Wednesday, October 29, trying to pump her for information. The spoilers say Kyle will “quiz Sienna about Holden and make it clear that it’s because he wants to protect Claire.”
Sienna isn’t stupid. She immediately sees through Kyle’s BS and asks if he’s trying to make Holden look bad to win Claire back. BINGO.
Kyle pivots to asking about Audra instead (BECAUSE OF COURSE HE DOES), trying to leverage Sienna’s “bad blood” with his ex-affair partner. After Sienna gets a mysterious call from Mitch, she tells Kyle to come back later—she MIGHT have something for him.
Here’s the problem: whatever Sienna reveals about Holden or Audra won’t achieve what Kyle thinks it will. Claire explicitly told him she wants to make her own choices and handle things herself. Kyle constantly inserting himself into her business—spying on her, interrogating people behind her back, trying to control who she spends time with—is EXACTLY the behavior that made her dump him in the first place!
Claire Newman Told Him to Back Off—Kyle Heard “Stalk Harder”
Claire has been crystal clear about what she needs. After rejecting Kyle’s proposal, she told him: “I jumped into this relationship too quickly. I need space to make mistakes and live on my own. I want to find myself.”
For someone whose entire life was controlled by Jordan’s brainwashing and manipulation, this is HEALTHY boundary-setting. Claire recognizes she’s never made her own decisions and needs to figure out who she is independent of others’ expectations.
Kyle’s response has been to completely ignore those boundaries. He flew to LA uninvited. He’s been following Claire and Holden around. On October 23, Claire caught Kyle literally SPYING on Holden’s meeting with Sienna. He was literally lurking in the shadows like some kind of discount private investigator.
When Claire called him out, Kyle tried to deflect: “You should focus on questions about who Holden’s with and what he’s up to!” Translation: “Stop being mad at me for violating your privacy and instead be suspicious of the guy you’re actually enjoying spending time with!”
Claire is growing increasingly frustrated. She accused Kyle of being jealous and letting his ego drive his behavior. She pointed out his hypocrisy given his Audra situation. And she’s made it clear she values Holden as a FRIEND who respects her autonomy—something Kyle apparently cannot do.

The $5 Million Contract Hanging Over Kyle Abbott’s Head
Here’s a delicious wrinkle that makes Kyle’s behavior even MORE desperate: Victor Newman made Kyle sign a $5 MILLION contract promising not to break Claire’s heart. If Victor decides Claire’s heart has been “shattered,” Kyle owes the money AND has to leave Genoa City.
This means Kyle isn’t just fighting for love. He’s fighting to avoid financial ruin and exile. His obsessive need to “win Claire back” is partly about genuine feelings, but it’s ALSO about not wanting to pay The Mustache five million dollars and be banished from his hometown.
The irony? Kyle’s stalking and controlling behavior is the EXACT thing that will convince Victor that Claire’s heart has been shattered. By trying to avoid the consequences of the contract, Kyle is actually making those consequences inevitable.
What Happens When Sienna Bacall Spills the Tea?
Let’s game out what happens when Sienna gives Kyle whatever dirt she has:
SCENARIO 1: Sienna has real dirt on Holden
Maybe Holden’s connected to Noah’s attempted murder. Maybe he’s working with Mitch on something shady. Maybe there’s legitimate danger Claire needs to know about.
If Kyle brings this to Claire, will she thank him? NOPE. She’ll be furious he went behind her back AGAIN instead of trusting her to handle her own relationships. Even if the information is TRUE, the WAY Kyle obtained it—through stalking, interrogation, and manipulation—will poison any goodwill.
SCENARIO 2: Sienna has dirt on Audra
Kyle getting more Audra intel when he’s supposed to be focused on winning back Claire? This proves he’s STILL obsessed with his ex-affair partner. Claire will see this as confirmation that Kyle hasn’t moved past Audra, validating her decision to dump him.
SCENARIO 3: Sienna plays Kyle
Sienna’s not some naive nightclub owner—she’s an Emmy-winner’s character with her OWN agenda. She’s connected to Mitch, involved in Noah’s investigation, and has complicated history with both Holden and Audra. What if she USES Kyle’s desperation to manipulate him for her own purposes?
SCENARIO 4: Claire finds out and is DONE
The most likely outcome: Claire discovers Kyle interrogated Sienna, feels betrayed that he violated her trust AGAIN, and cuts him off completely. Kyle loses Claire, owes Victor $5 million, and has to leave Genoa City—all because he couldn’t respect a single boundary.
Kyle Abbott’s Fatal Flaw: Thinking Love Means Control
The tragedy of Kyle Abbott is that he genuinely BELIEVES he’s protecting Claire. He thinks love means making decisions for her “safety.” He doesn’t understand that Claire—who survived kidnapping, brainwashing, and her father’s death—doesn’t NEED his protection. She needs his TRUST.
Kyle grew up watching his parents’ toxic relationship: Jack Abbott and Diane Jenkins have a history of lies, manipulation, faked deaths, and control games. Kyle’s learned that “love” looks like grand gestures, ultimatums, and doing “whatever it takes” to keep someone. Even if it means violating their autonomy.
But Claire isn’t asking for a white knight. She’s asking for a partner who respects her enough to let her make her own mistakes, form her own friendships, and discover who she is outside of other people’s expectations.
Kyle’s inability to give her that space—his need to interrogate Sienna, stalk Holden, and dig up dirt on Audra—isn’t love. It’s possessiveness. And Claire has had ENOUGH people trying to possess her for one lifetime.
The Verdict: This Plan Will Spectacularly Backfire
Everything about Kyle’s LA investigation screams “disaster waiting to happen.” He’s violating Claire’s boundaries, still obsessed with Audra, making himself look pathetic to everyone watching, and playing right into whatever schemes Sienna and Mitch are running.
Fans are DONE with Kyle. Social media is roasting him for his stalker behavior. Even the SPOILER SITES are making jokes about how pathetic this has become. One preview literally said: “Claire already told him she wants to handle things on her own. So, Kyle constantly butting in and finding ways to insert himself into her business might not exactly work in his favor.”
Translation: KYLE, GO HOME.
NOW.
The only question now is how spectacular the backfire will be. Will Sienna’s information expose Kyle rather than Holden? Will Claire find out and cut him off forever? Will Victor enforce that $5 million contract and exile him from Genoa City? Will Kyle realize too late that his obsession with Audra destroyed his chance with Claire?
Wednesday’s interrogation scene will either be Kyle’s moment of triumph or the final nail in the coffin of any chance he had with Claire Newman. Based on everything we’ve seen? Start building that coffin, because this desperate gambit is already six feet under.
Sometimes the best way to win someone back is to RESPECT THEIR BOUNDARIES and give them space. But Kyle Abbott never learned that lesson. And Claire Newman is about to teach it to him the hard way.
