It may happen, but it's definitely not the norm. I mean, these are two girls hanging out who are the same age pretty much, with the same interests, the same friends, etc. Of course, they are going to have more of a friend relationship than an aunt/niece one.
You can have a friend relationship while still having an aunt/niece one :shrug:
You can, but at that age, it's not likely IMO.

They wouldn't have an aunt/niece relationship. Even if Claire called Ciara "aunt", that wouldn't make it an aunt/niece relationship. They could have more of a family-type relationship though. They'd probably be more cousin-like.

They cut everything involving Hope/Rafe/Roman. Ciara gave Hope her blessing to ask for her job back. Hope asked Roman and he gave it to her. Hope asked Rafe if he was ok with it given that he has feelings for her. Rafe has a fantasy about them. He then tells Hope it is fine.
Fine with me 'cause Hope doesn`t need Rafe`s permission and I don`r care whether he`s fine or not.

I know that the writers don't want to make Hope seem too old, but they need to get over it and learn if you don't want the characters to be older than they are, then don't age their children. This seriously irritates me. Dario referred to Arianna as Kate' granddaughter when she is her GREAT-granddaughter. Please let Claire call Hope grandma again and have Claire and Ciara act like they are actually related.

For people who have just started watching the show and have NO way of knowing the relationships between Claire and everybody else since it seems like she is just a friend of Ciara, here they are.

Claire Brady is the daughter of Shawn-Douglas Brady and Belle Black. She is the granddaughter of Bo Brady, Hope Williams, John Black and Marlena Evans. She is the great-granddaughter of Victor Kiriakis, Caroline Brady, Doug Williams and Addie Horton as well as the grandniece and step-great-granddaughter of Julie Olson. She is the niece of Ciara Brady, Brady Black, Paul Narita and Eric Brady. She is the first cousin of Tate Black.
Thanks for posting that about the relationshis. It does get hard to keep track of even if you`ve been watching for a long time.

The first time I had an issue with ages was back when David Banning`s son Scottie was on.

I always thought it was weird that Julie was Alice`s granddaughter and she already had someone callling her "Grandma". I mean, that would make Alice Scottie`s great-great grandma.

I knew someone in high school whose niece was older and they were stilled called aunt by them. So. I mean it happens.

Except Claire has been gone for years. She's only been hanging out with her aunt for a few months. Yet, they are implying Claire knows Ciara better than Hope does.

That`s how it is in my family.

I have nephews who are 4,5,6 years younger than me. They don`t call me Aunt unless they are joking about how short I look standing next to them now that we are all adults.

Mine too. And none of them would ever call me aunt. We vary from siblingish to cousinish.

Some families may still call a young aunt "aunt" but there's no way to really develop an aunt/niece relationship when you're so close in age.

Yeah. They treat me like the big sister who they would tell things to and ask for advice when talking to their parent is not an option.

Their kids do call me Aunt but great-Aunt isn`t necessary. That would just sound older anyway.

I don't think they are implying that. Ciara has obviously gotten close to Claire the last few weeks, for various reasons. And I just think Ciara feels more comfortable confiding in Claire than her mom.

That's exactly what I was trying to say. Claire and Ciara have more of a friend relationship now, but I see it developing into more of a sister one. Like Jenn and Hope.

I'm not saying Claire has to call Ciara aunt, but I would like them to act like they are from the same family and not besties ala Jen and Hope. Claire tells Ciara about HER father having problems with her mother. Well her father is Ciara's brother. She tells Ciara to tell HER mom about the rape. Her mom is her grandmother. Have a relationship like Jen and Hope and not act like their relatives are different from each other.

Or act that some relationships don't exist. Claire was raised as Philip's daughter for the first year of her life and Philip seems to have no attachment to the baby he went to court and got custody of and then tracked down Shelle when they kidnapped her. But I guess since he went through all the trouble to get custody of Parker from Stayla and then giving him up for adoption I shouldn't be surprised. I'm surprised he didn't try to still go for custody of Parker when it was proven that Dr. Douche was his father. Oh wait. Jonas Christ is a saint so he would have lost.

Just have Ciara and Claire act more like family rather than like they aren't related.

Interesting. I didn't know some families were like that. My niece and I are close in age and she's always called me aunt.
