Key Takeaways

- After months of teasing, the couple finally give in to temptation.
- Heinle couldn’t believe that the show was pairing Victoria with Kyle.
Amelia Heinle Was Caught Off Guard By Victoria’s New Guy
Victoria has had many love interests over the years. But her new romance with Kyle (Michael Mealor) is probably her most shocking yet.
Although the show has been teasing a romance for a while, it was still a surprise. No one was more stunned than Heinle.
In an interview with TV Insider, Heinle admitted she was suspicious of the writers’ intentions when Victoria and Kyle first started sharing scenes. “I noticed Kyle was always coming to talk to Victoria, or we’d run into each other. I told Michael, ‘I don’t think they would ever put us together, but this is kind of funny because it feels like they’re trying to test our chemistry, which would be really, really odd.’”
Heinle shrugged off her suspicions until a few weeks later when she met with executive producer Sally McDonald. The showrunner confirmed that they were going with a Victoria and Kyle romance.
”I was like, ‘Oh, OK. Are you sure?’ And she was like, ‘Uh-huh. Yep. You’ve got chemistry.’”
Fallout From Victoria and Kyle’s Romance
Although nervous at first, Heinle warmed to the idea of Victoria and Kyle. After the two nearly kissed at Crimson Lights, things take a passionate turn at the Jabot office.
Now that the couple has given in to temptation, it’s going to be interesting to see where they go next. Victoria and Kyle will have their work cut out for them trying to hide their relationship from their families, especially Victoria’s daughter Claire (Hayley Erin).
Since Kyle dated Claire, things are going to be tense when Claire discovers the couple’s secret. The fallout from the Victoria and Kyle reveal is something fans and Heinle are looking forward to. “We’re hoping they drag it out so that the families don’t know for a while because I think that adds to the drama.”
