Kyle has certainly made his parents proud on The Young and the Restless. The Abbott heir came up with the perfect game plan against Victor during the latest Abbott vs. Newman battle. Not only is Kyle being branded a hero, but he’s also being compared to this Newman.
Key Takeaways
- Kyle has recently shown a stronger, more ruthless side.
- Thanks to Kyle, the Abbotts gained leverage to use against Victor.
- Fans are loving the new and improved Kyle.
Two Peas in a Pod
Y&R fans have a love/hate relationship with Kyle (Michael Mealor). His behavior of pining after Claire (Hayley Erin) made him look weak to many viewers. But now that he’s free of Claire and concentrating on family business, he’s showing off a new side that many people are loving.
The Abbotts are once again feuding with Victor (Eric Braeden) after he threatened to take down Jabot. While Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters) strategized how to proceed against Victor, Kyle gained important intel.
Thanks to Kyle’s research and quick thinking, the Abbott security team was able to capture Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Jack and Kyle then used Matt as a bargaining chip to get Victor to hand over the AI software.
Kyle’s behavior and finally scoring a win over Victor surprised many fans. In fact, some people on Reddit think Kyle could become the Abbotts’ version of Adam (Mark Grossman).
“I’d like to see this happen with Kyle!” declared one viewer.
“I agree. I think we’re seeing the next generation of the Newman Abbott feud taking more shape as Adam and Kyle step into the power roles,” one fan suggested.
However, some fans don’t see the Kyle and Adam comparisons. “Kyle has a lot of growing up to do before he is even close to being on Adam’s level.”
Kyle’s Next Move
Kyle proved quite useful in the Abbott and Newman war, and his parents will continue to need his help. Although Victor’s no longer a threat…for now, Jack is still worried about Jabot’s future.
Now that Cane (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) have taken over Newman Enterprises, nothing’s stopping them from trying to take Jabot. Phyllis was all set to take control of Jabot before Victor reneged on their deal. But now that she’s used the AI software to take down Victor, she’ll set her sights on Jabot.
While Cane and Phyllis pose a significant threat, possibly even greater than Victor, the Abbotts remain a formidable force. Kyle helped his parents out of one tricky situation, and now he’ll be needed in the fight against Cane and Phyllis. Wonder what tricks Kyle will have up his sleeve.
